Wireless Management & Multi-SSID Setup
The Manage Wi-Fi Networks screen gives you complete control over your wireless broadcasting. You can tune your radio frequencies, broadcast up to 32 independent Wi-Fi names (SSIDs), and assign distinct BSSID MAC identifiers directly in the dashboard.
1. Radio Modes & Tuning
Click the Manage Wi-Fi Networks button in the top navigation bar, then click View Radios to open the Radio List modal.
Under Radio List, you can configure your 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless cards:
| Radio Mode | What It Does | When to Choose |
|---|---|---|
| Speed Priority | Uses maximum wireless channel width for highest download/upload speeds. | Clean home or office environments with minimal Wi-Fi interference. |
| Balanced | Balances maximum speed with resistance to interference. | Standard office, development, and QA testing lab setups. |
| Noise Reduction | Tunes channel sensitivity to minimize interference from nearby Wi-Fi routers. | High-density environments with dozens of active Wi-Fi routers nearby. |
[!NOTE] DFS Channels (Channels 52 to 144): If you select a 5 GHz channel above 48, international regulations require the router to scan for weather radar frequencies before broadcasting. The Wi-Fi network will appear automatically after a 1 to 5 minute scanning period.
2. Creating Single & Multiple Wi-Fi Networks
Creating a Single Wi-Fi Network
- In Manage Wi-Fi Networks, click Create a Single Wi-Fi to open the Create Wi-Fi Network modal.
- Fill in the network details:
- Wi-Fi Name (SSID): Enter your preferred Wi-Fi name (e.g.
WifiSocks-Lab-01). - Password: Enter a Wi-Fi password.
- Hide Wi-Fi Network: Check this option if you want to create a hidden network.
- Assign distinct MAC (BSSID) for this Wi-Fi: Optional setting to assign a unique MAC address (BSSID) for this specific wireless network.
- Wi-Fi Name (SSID): Enter your preferred Wi-Fi name (e.g.
- Click Create Wi-Fi to start broadcasting.
Bulk Wi-Fi Creation (Creating Multiple Networks in Batch)
When you need multiple Wi-Fi networks for separate device clusters or departments, click Create Multiple Wi-Fi (Multi-SSID). The form contains the following options:
| Form Field | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of Wi-Fi Networks | Number Input | Enter how many Wi-Fi networks you want to create (up to 32 networks, depending on router hardware). |
| Password | Password Input | Enter the password to apply across the generated Wi-Fi networks. |
| Hide Wi-Fi Network | Checkbox / Toggle | Check this box if you want the generated Wi-Fi networks to be hidden from public broadcast. |
| Assign distinct MAC (BSSID) for each Wi-Fi | Checkbox / Toggle | When checked, the router automatically assigns a unique MAC address (BSSID) to every generated Wi-Fi network, ensuring complete Layer 2 wireless separation under IEEE 802.11 / IEEE 802c. |
- Enter your desired Number of Wi-Fi Networks and Password.
- Choose whether to Hide Wi-Fi Network and whether to Assign distinct MAC (BSSID) for each Wi-Fi.
- Click Create (Count) Wi-Fi(s) (for example: Create 5 Wi-Fi(s)) to generate and broadcast all Wi-Fi networks at once.
Deleting Wi-Fi Networks
- Delete one network: Click the trash / delete icon next to any individual Wi-Fi network in the list.
- Delete all networks: Click Delete All Wi-Fi to clear all configured Wi-Fi networks and reset the radio interface.
