Chapter 6: Wireless Setting

6.1 Basic Settings

•
Enable Wireless: Check to enable the router's wireless features; uncheck to disable it.
•
Network Mode: Select one mode from the following. The default is 11b/g/n mode.
•
Main SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the unique name of the wireless network. This device has two SSID and
the main SSID is necessary.
•
Minor SSID: It is optional.
•
Broadcast (SSID): Select "Enable" to enable the device's SSID to be visible by wireless clients. The default is
enabled.
•
MBSSID AP Isolation: One access control feature based on wireless MAC address. When this feature is enabled,
wireless clients connected with the same SSID cannot communicate with each other.
•
AP Isolation: One access control feature based on SSID. When this feature is enabled, each of your wireless clients
will be in its own virtual network and will not be able to communicate with each other. When this feature is enabled,
wireless clients connected with the main SSID and minor SSID cannot communicate with each other, which can
strongly secure the wireless network.
•
Channel: Specify the effective channel (from 1 to 13\Auto) of the wireless network.
•
Extension Channel: To increase data throughput of wireless network, the extension channel range is used in 11n mode.
•
Channel Bandwidth: Select the channel bandwidth to improve the wireless performance. When the network has
11b/g and 11n clients, you can select 40M; when it is an 11n network, select 20/40M to improve its throughput.
6.2 Wireless Security Setting
It is used to configure the AP network's security setting. Here it presents the common six (ten in all) encryption methods,
including Mixed WEP, WPA-personal, WPA-enterprise, WPA2-personal, WPA2- enterprise, etc.
6.2.1 Mixed WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), a basic encryption method, usually encrypts wireless data using a series of digital
keys (64 bits or 128 bits in length). By using the same keys on each of your wireless network devices, you can prevent
unauthorized wireless devices from monitoring your transmissions or using your wireless resources. Select Mixed WEP to
enter the following window:
•
Select SSID: Select the SSID (main SSID or minor SSID) to configure security setting from the drop-down menu.
•
Security Mode: From the drop-down menu select the corresponding security encryption modes.
•
WEP Key1~4: Set the WEP key with the format of ASCII and Hex. You can enter ASCII code (5 or 13 ASCII
characters. Illegal character as "/" are not allowed.) Or 10/26 hex characters.
•
Default Key: Select one key from the four configured keys as the currently available one.
6.2.2 WPA-Personal
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), a Wi-Fi standard, is a more recent wireless encryption scheme, designed to improve the
security features of WEP. It applies more powerful encryption types (such as TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol] or
AES [Advanced Encryption Standard]) and can change the keys dynamically on every authorized wireless device.
•
Select SSID: Select the SSID (main SSID or minor SSID) to configure security setting from the drop-down menu.
•
WPA Algorithms: Provides TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption Standard]. The
default is TKIP mode.
•
Pass Phrase: Enter the encrypted characters with 8-63 ASCII characters.
•
Key Renewal Interval: Set the key's renewal period.
6.2.3 WPA2- Personal
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) provides higher security than WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy) and WPA (Wi-
Fi Protected Access).
•
Select SSID: Select the SSID (main SSID or minor SSID) to configure security setting from the drop-down menu.
•
WPA Algorithms: Provides TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption Standard]. The
default is TKIP mode.
•
Pass Phrase: Enter the encrypted characters with 8-63 ASCII characters.
•
Key renewal Interval: Set the key's renewal period.
