Wave Wifi Mbr500 Router - WAVMBR500
Model: MBR500
The MBR 500 has an internal access point and is a Multi-Source Failover Router. This means that it can manage multiple sources at a time as well as produce the wireless signal to distribute the data to wireless devices. Our MBR 500 will give you the ability to manage these sources from one easy to access browser based page.
From this page you can manage any additional Wave WiFi devices such as access points and receivers, as well as third party satellite, or cell devices. With our MBR 550 you will enjoy the ability to travel with cell functionality built in. The 550 comes with a SIM slot for SIM activated Cell Data, and has all the other great features of the MBR 500.
These models are also capable of supporting ‘Guest Networks’. This means that any devices connected to the Guest Network will not have access to the MBR 500 or 550’s manage page. They will only be able to use the data provided by the MBR router and not be able to manipulate it.

Maintenance Tips
-
Keep the Router Clean: Regularly dust the router with a soft cloth to prevent dust build-up that can obstruct airflow and cause overheating. Do not use harsh chemicals.
-
Check and Secure Connections: Ensure that all cables (power, ethernet, etc.) are securely connected. Loose connections can result in poor performance or a complete loss of signal.
-
Reboot Periodically: Reboot the router every few weeks to refresh its connections, clear cache, and improve overall performance.
-
Firmware Updates: Regularly check for firmware updates from Wave Wifi. Keeping the firmware up-to-date ensures your router has the latest security patches and performance improvements.
-
Position the Router Properly: Place the router in a central location, away from large metal objects and thick walls, to ensure even distribution of the Wi-Fi signal. Avoid placing it near heat sources or in direct sunlight.
-
Monitor Signal Strength: Periodically test the Wi-Fi signal in various areas of your home or office. If there are weak spots, consider repositioning the router or adding extenders to improve coverage.
-
Check for Interference: Ensure that the router is not near other electronic devices (e.g., microwave ovens, cordless phones) that could cause interference with the Wi-Fi signal.
-
Secure Your Network: Periodically review the router’s security settings, ensuring that encryption is enabled (e.g., WPA3), and change your password regularly to protect against unauthorized access.
-
Overheating Prevention: Ensure the router has good ventilation and isn't placed in an area that can cause it to overheat, such as in a closed cabinet or near other heat-producing devices.
