Note that changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless devices that you want to connect to your wireless network.
  • Page 69 Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings By default, the MBR95 has two wireless networks set up: Primary and Guest. ― Primary‖ is the main network for this router. ―Gue st‖ is an additional network that you may enable (this is disabled by default) to allow other people to briefly use your internet connection without knowing your Primary security password.
  • Page 70 CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 Security Mode: You have several options for selecting a security mode. The mode you choose depends on the security features your wireless adapters support. If you select one of the security modes and are unable to connect to the router afterwards, you can use the reset buttons to reset the router to its factory default state and try a different security mode instead.
  • Page 71 CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 6.7.3 WiFi Settings Random Channel: Select to randomize the WiFi channel. This makes it less likely that the wireless signal from this router will conflict with another router in the same area. Channel: The WiFi channel corresponds to a frequency the router uses to communicate with other devices.
  • Page 72 DTIM: A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
  • Page 73 CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 WPS: WiFi Protected Setup is a method for easy and secure establishment of a wireless network. It can be used instead of passwords when connecting clients that support WPS. Short Slot: Slot Time is the period wireless clients use in determining if the channel is free for transmission. Enabling this value allows clients that can utilize a shorter time to do so.
  • Page 74 CRADLEPOINT MBR95| USER MANUAL Firmware ver. 3.2.4 Greenfield Mode: Greenfield mode uses an 802.11n-only preamble to transmit packets that older wireless clients cannot interpret. Use of greenfield mode in a mixed 802.11 environment may result in degraded performance but can improve performance if all devices in the area are 802.11n compatible.
