Setting Up Wi-Fi Networks

Main and Guest Networks for RUTX50 / RUT200 / OTD500

Applies to: RUTX50, RUT200, OTD500 (not RUT901, which has no Wi-Fi radio)

What this is

Every Jola-supplied device with Wi-Fi arrives with a default wireless network already configured, with its name (SSID) and password shown on the label on the underside of the device. Many customers choose to personalise this network, and some also want a separate network for visitors. This guide covers both.

The SSIDs panel under Network → Wireless (Teltonika RUT200 documentation).

Changing the default Wi-Fi network

1. Log into the router's web interface and go to Network → Wireless.

2. Select the existing default network and click Edit.

3. Change the network name (SSID) and password to the values required.

4. Save and apply the changes.

Guest Wi-Fi networks

A guest network is a separate Wi-Fi network that allows visitors to connect to the internet without being able to see or reach devices on the main network. This is useful for site visitors, meeting rooms, or public-facing areas such as a reception desk or retail counter.

Jola's firmware does not include a dedicated "Guest Wi-Fi" toggle. Instead, a guest network is created by adding an additional SSID alongside the main one, then switching on client isolation for it.

1. Log into the router's web interface and go to Network → Wireless.

2. Add an additional SSID alongside the main network.

3. Assign the new SSID its own name and password. The main network's password should not be reused.

4. Switch on client/AP isolation for the new SSID, so that guest devices cannot see or reach the main network or other guests.

5. Test the network by connecting a device and confirming it can access the internet but cannot reach anything else on the network.

Good to know

●       Any devices already connected using the old network name or password will need to be reconnected using the new details once a change is applied.

●       The original default details remain printed on the device's label, so it is worth noting down the new details somewhere else once changed.

●       Where the option is available, applying a data limit or time limit on the guest network is recommended for public-facing sites.

●       The guest password should be changed periodically if it is displayed publicly, for example on a sign in a reception area.
