Enable hotspot using the default configuration

The default configuration of the TX64 device's hotspot is:

  Default configuration

Hotspot
  • Name: hotspot
  • Disabled
  • Authentication mode: Click-through
  • IP address: 10.1.0.1/24
  • DHCP server: Automatically enabled
  • DHCP server lease range: 100-250
  • Bandwidth limits:
    • Maximum download speed: 10000 Kbps
    • Maximum upload speed: 10000 Kbps

Bridge
  • Name: hotspot_bridge
  • Disabled
  • 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi access point: Digi Hotspot AP (Wi-Fi1)
  • 5 GHz Wi-Fi access point: Digi Hotspot AP (Wi-Fi2)

Access points
  • Name:
    • Digi Hotspot AP (Wi-Fi1)
    • Digi Hotspot AP (Wi-Fi2)
  • Disabled
  • SSID: Digi Hotspot
  • Encryption: Open (unencrypted)
  • Hotspot access points should be set to open (unencrypted). See Hotspot security for further information.

LAN
  • Name: LAN hotspot
  • Disabled
  • Device: hotspot_bridge
  • IP address: 192.168.100.1/30

    This IP address is not used by the hotspot or the hotspot's DHCP server. It must be a unique IP address that is not used elsewhere in your network.

  • DHCP server: Disabled
  • The hotspot will use the hotspot's DHCP server rather than the LAN's DHCP server.

To use the default hotspot with click-through authentication, enable the hotspot, the bridge, the access points, and the LAN.
