Guest Wireless Network
Share internet with guests and friends without needing to share your private password. The Guest
Wireless Network is an optional broadcast that is totally independent of your Private Wireless Net-
work. Because the access can be time-limited, it could also be ideal for use with children whose in-
ternet access you wish to schedule.
Configuring Guest Wireless Network
1)
Go to WiFi tab on Control Panel
2)
Check Broadcast to On
3)
Enter desired Name (SSID) and Passcode
4)
Select Duration guests have access per use
5)
Select Interval which guests can access internet again
6)
Enter Title, Sub Title, and Redirect URL for guest login page (optional)
7)
Upload Header Image for guest login page if desired (100kb max file size)
8)
Enter Message for guest login page
9)
Click Save Changes
The Guest Wireless Network will now broadcast an OPEN wireless signal based on the Name (SSID)
given. Once guests connect to the network, they must open a web browser where they will be redi-
rected to the guest login page. Then guests must enter the Passcode in order to gain internet access.

Social Info
Display your social profile to other WiFiRanger owners that are in the same vicinity. If a WiFiRanger
owner has activated his Social Info feature, you will see a "person" icon displayed next to his WiFi
Network on the Main tab of the Control Panel. Hover over the icon to view the Social Info. You do not
need to connect to the WiFi in order to see the Social Info, as a simple Scan will display the icon.
Configuring Social Info
1)
Go to WiFi tab on Control Panel
2)
Enter desired info (Interests, Website address, Find Me directions)
3)
Click Save Changes
Entering info into any of these fields is optional. For example, you could fill out only the Website field
with a link to your Facebook profile or blog, leaving Interests and Find Me blank. This means that only
the Website info will be displayed to others on your own social icon. Find Me directions are used to
give others a way to find your campsite or location so that you can easily make new friends.

System Preferences
Numerous settings are managed on the Setup tab under System Preferences.
Failover
RECOMMENDED ON
Automatically searches for internet connectivity after going offline. By default, Failover is turned off to
ensure that the user does not experience a reconnect loop in case internet is unavailable out of box.
For most users, it is recommended to turn Failover On once familiarized with the product and able to
get online via at least one connection device.
Failover Interval
RECOMMENDED 5 MINUTES
Checks for internet connectivity based on set time interval. High frequency is recommended for users
needing immediate internet recovery while less frequent checks are recommended for situations
where there are limited internet sources that are all slow or unstable.
Multi-WAN Mode
Select mode for Multi-WAN based on desired operation. Read more under Optimizations > Multi-WAN
Safe Surf
RECOMMENDED OFF DURING GENERAL USE
Encrypts all data through secure servers to eliminate dangers from man-in-middle attacks at public
networks. Increase security by turning this feature on when doing sensitive web activity. It is recom-
mended to turn Safe Surf off for general use as performance is slightly decreased when encrypted.
Control Panel Redirect
RECOMMENDED ON
Automatically force your web browser to bring up the Control Panel if offline. This feature alerts the
user that the WiFiRanger is offline, prompting them to attempt to get back online.
Initial Auto Connect
RECOMMENDED ON
Automatically attempts to get online after booting up. Having Initial Auto Connect set to On may re-
quire that you wait a minute or two after powering the WiFiRanger up, but it makes the internet expe-
rience seamless. Most of the time, the router will automatically get online after powering up.
Attempt Auto Login
RECOMMENDED ON
Automatically attempts to bypass login/agreement page at Filtered WiFi Networks. Public networks
that require a username and password cannot be bypassed, but Filtered networks that simply have a
one-click access button may be automatically bypassed with this feature on.
