Wi-Fi names
Add SSIDs, set encryption, and pick which DHCP pool each name uses.
- Open Wi-Fi on the network page.
- The first name is the radio’s own SSID. Add SSID creates a virtual AP (up to eight names).
- Choose a DHCP pool for each name. The radio’s pool is the hotspot network. Another name on that pool joins it. A different pool gets its own addresses.
- Set encryption. Open needs no password. WPA2 needs a password.
- Turning off the radio’s own name hides it. Extra names can be removed. Update Wi-Fi writes the change to the MikroTik.
- Pending changes wait until the router takes them. The note above the form shows how many are waiting.
