Wireless Setup

---

1️⃣ Primary WiFi

This one already exists — just rename the SSIDs.

Go to:
Network → Wireless → Edit

Set:

• SSID: NJ_Wifi_5 (and NJ_Wifi_2.4)
• Security: WPA2/WPA3 password

Done.

---

2️⃣ Guest WiFi

Go to:
Network → Guest Network

Enable:

• Guest WiFi
• SSID: NJ_Wifi_guest
• Password: njanirudh_guest
• Client Isolation: ON
• Block Access to LAN: ON

This creates an isolated guest subnet (default: 192.168.8.x).

3️⃣ IoT WiFi

GL.iNet GUI doesn’t create a proper IoT network by default.
You must create a new interface, SSID, and firewall zone.

---

Step A — Create IoT Interface

Go to:
Network → Interfaces → Add New Interface

Settings:

• Name: iot
• Protocol: Static Address
• IPv4: 192.168.50.1
• Netmask: 255.255.255.0
• Bridge interfaces: ✔️ Enable
• Bridge name: br-iot (new bridge)

Save.

---

Step B — Create IoT WiFi SSID

Go to:
Network → Wireless → Add

Settings:

• Mode: Access Point
• SSID: NJ_Wifi_iot
• Password: njanirudh_iot
• Network: iot (critical)

---

Step C — Firewall Isolation

Go to:
Network → Firewall → Add Zone

Zone Settings (iot):

• Zone name: iot
• Input: ACCEPT
• Output: ACCEPT
• Forward: REJECT
• Masquerading: ON
• Covered networks: iot

---

Forwarding Rules

Add:

• iot → wan (allows IoT devices internet access — remove if you want them blocked)
• lan → iot (so your phone/laptop can control IoT)

Delete:

• iot → lan (prevents IoT probing your main devices)
