Hide Your Mesh Network's Ssid; Generate A New Backhaul Password - NETGEAR MR90 User Manual

Hide your mesh network's SSID

By default, your mesh network's WiFi network name (SSID) is broadcasted and visible
to other WiFi devices. If you disable SSID broadcasting on your mesh network, the SSID
is no longer visible. However, other devices can still connect to the mesh network
manually if the SSID, security type, and WiFi password is known.
To hide your mesh network's SSID:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to your
mesh network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified the first time
that you logged in. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.
The Wireless Setup page displays.
5. Clear the Enable SSID Broadcast check box.
Clearing this check box hides the SSID.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.

Generate a new backhaul password

The backhaul password is a security key that is used in WiFi communication between
the router and the satellite. You can generate a new backhaul password. After you
generate a new backhaul password, you must use the Sync button to build a new
backhaul connection so that the router and satellite can communicate with each other
using WiFi.
