==Guest Network==
 +
 +
Most of us are aware, that network security is extremely important. If your WiFi network is not properly secured, it makes you and all of your home or office resources vulnerable to a variety of security threats. To stay ahead of the curve, many companies and home users have guest WiFi. Unlike your regular WiFi network that you or your company members use, the guest WiFi network restricts what your guests can do in your network. It gives visitors access to the Internet connection, but nothing else making you or your company a lot more secure.

 +
==Mesh Mode==
 +
 +
{{{name}}} can also be configured as a mesh gateway or as a node (router) connecting to a mesh gateway.
 +
 +
When {{{name}}} is configured as '''mesh gateway''' it provides internet access to other mesh nodes. When configured as '''mesh node''' it acts as a mesh router which forwards traffic to and from mesh gateway. Nodes also connect other wireless devices to the network such as laptops and cellphones.
 +
 +
For complete wireless mesh network example please visit [[Wireless_Mesh_configuration_example|Wireless Mesh configuration example]].
 +
 +
===Mesh Gateway===
 +
 +
When configuring {{{name}}} as a '''mesh gateway''' internet connectivity is '''required'''.
 +
 +
To begin click the 'Add' button below of wireless interface in the Network → Wireless page:
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway add button.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
In '''General Setup''' tab change '''Mode''' to '''Mesh''', set '''Mesh ID''' (this number has to be the same in all nodes that connect to this wireless mesh network) and select desired '''Network''' which will be attached to the interface. Click '''Save & Apply'''.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway 1.png|Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway general settings|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Next navigate to '''Wireless Security''' tab and select '''WPA3-SAE''' encryption to add authentication layer. The password must match in all devices within the mesh network.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway 2.png|Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway security|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Lastly, in '''Advanced Settings''' tab enable '''Forward mesh peer traffic''' and set '''RSSI threshold for joining''' to -80. Leave the rest as set by default.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway 3.png|Networking rutos manual wireless mesh gateway advanced settings|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Click '''Save & Apply''' and if you configured correctly, you will have wireless mesh gateway ready.
 +
 +
===Mesh Node===
 +
 +
Mesh node is configured the same way as mesh gateway. Node has to match gateway's wireless mesh interface configuration. Additionally, LAN interface has to be setup as DHCP client:
 +
 +
1. Access router‘s WebUI. Navigate to Network → Interfaces.
 +
 +
2. Press pencil icon on the right of the LAN interface.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutx11 configuration example wireless mesh mesh node configuration 1 v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
3. Change Protocol to DHCP.
 +
 +
[[File:Networking rutx11 configuration example wireless mesh mesh node configuration 2 v2.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Click '''Save & Apply''' and If everything was setup correctly, mesh node should be ready use.
 +
 +
==Multi AP==
 +
 +
The <b>Multi AP</b> feature is used to configure access to multiple wireless access points from one page. To enter Multi AP configuration, click the 'Multi AP' button below other Wireless configurations:
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_wireless_multi_ap_button_{{#ifeq:{{{series}}}|TCR1|tcr1_|}}v1.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
Next, enter a name for the Multi AP network and assign a firewall zone (default: wan).
 +
 +
[[File:Networking_rutos_manual_wireless_multi_ap_create_network.png|border|class=tlt-border]]
 +
 +
You may then start to configure General Settings for the Multi AP feature.
 +
 +
===General Settings===
 +
----
 +
The <b>General Settings</b> section for Multi AP is used to turn it on or off and to change the frequency of scanning for WiFi APs.

 +
----
 +
You can either configure multiple <b>access points</b> from this page of the WebUI or you can upload a file with a list of access point configurations. The file should contains WiFi access point configuration options and values, which should be defined as <b>option: value</b> (for example, <i>ssid: home_wifi</i>). The SSID option is mandatory.

 +
 +
Option names in the file should be provided in lower case letters. AP list file example:
 +
 +
ssid: RUT_1
 +
