Advanced Network Configuration

Local DNS Server Capabilities 

You can use a local domain name system (DNS) server with Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro. If the DNS server is upstream from your network, then it must be set in Router mode even if there already is a router upstream. 

How can I ensure all devices access the local DNS?

Once you have set your Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro network in Router mode, you will also need to change the DNS servers in the Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro app to reflect your local DNS servers. All devices in all zones should now have access to the internet. 

How do I set a custom DNS?

You can set up custom DNS settings using the Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro app if your network is operating in Router mode. If your network is operating in Bridge mode, you will have to set up a custom DNS using your router's configuration settings. 

  1. Navigate to the Settings page. 
  2. Scroll down and open Advanced Settings. 
  3. Under DNS, select Custom DNS. 
  4. In the DNS fields, enter the desired DNS in the Primary and Secondary server fields respectively. 
  5. Tap Done. 

How can I turn off a parallel network?

Turning off the Wi-Fi on your existing wireless router helps improve the performance of your Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro network by reducing channel utilization and avoid confusing your devices.

A Midco technician should have taken care of this for you during installation. If you have issues, please contact us for support.

How to Turn Off a Parallel Network

It is important to make sure to turn off the radios and not just the SSID broadcast. On some routers and modem-router combination units, there may be a physical switch or button to turn off the Wi-Fi: 

  1. From a device connected to your non-Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro network, open a web browser and go to your router’s web interface. You should be able to find the link through your router or our website. 
  2. Log in with your username and password. Use the default one provided by the manufacturer or check on the bottom or back of the unit. 
  3. From the web interface, look for wireless settings. You should have the ability to turn off Wi-Fi radios on the device. This may be required a second or third time – one for each of the radios. 
  4. After the change has been saved or applied, your router should restart. 
  5. After disabling Wi-Fi on your other router, your devices should automatically connect to Midco Business Wi-Fi Pro.
