WPA-PSK



Encryption type: You can select the algorithm you want to use, TKIP, AES or

TKIP&AES. TKIP means “Temporal Key Integrity Protocol”, which incorporates

Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES, means

“Advanced Encryption System”, which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data.



Key Renewal: you can configure the renewal time between 60 to 86400 seconds.



Key Length description: you need to input 8 to 63 ASCII characters no matter which type

you select.

4.5.2.4.

WPA2-PSK

The WPA2-PSK is similar to WPA-PSK and with stronger encryption method than WPA-PSK,

using WPA2-PSK; you should input password (leave this value in the range of 8 to 63

characters) and key renewal time (leave this value in the range of 60 to 86400 seconds).

2. Add MAC address you want to control in the “MAC address” field (the format is

**-**-**-**-**-**), then click “Add” button, and you will see the MAC address has displayed

in the MAC list.

3. There are two items supplied, “Permit wireless connection for MAC address listed (others

are Denied)” and “Deny wireless connection for MAC address listed (others are Permitted)”,

Select the item you want, and click “Save” button.

WDS Settings

If you have selected WDS or AP+WDS mode in Wireless Basic-Radio Mode, please do the

following configurations.



WDS Name: Give a description of your wireless bridge to tell apart.



WDS MAC Address: If the current working mode is “WDS” or “AP+WDS”, then you

need to configure wireless bridge configuration. Enter MAC address of remote access

point, at the same time the remote access point also need to configure to “WDS”

or ”AP+WDS” mode.



Current WDS Information: It illustrates basic information of all wireless bridge that in

connection status, you may delete unnecessary bridge.

E.g.: If you want setup WDS connection between the AP that the MAC address is

00-22-4f-cc-ae-f5 (we call it AP1) and the AP that the MAC address is 00-22-4f-bc-af-5d (we

call it AP2), please follow the next steps:

1. Select radio mode is WDS in wireless management-basic of AP1.

2. Input WDS name (e.g.: default), input MAC address of AP2 (00-22-4f-bc-af-5d), click add,

then the record named default will appears in WDS list.

3. We can also select radio mode is WDS in wireless management-basic of AP2.

4. Input WDS name (e.g.: Default), input MAC address of AP1 (00-22-4f-cc-ae-f5), click add,

then the record named Default will appears in WDS list.

Note: Before you setup WDS connection, please make sure that AP1 and AP2 is in the same

network, that is if the IP address of AP1 is 192.168.1.1, then the IP address of AP2 should be

192.168.1.x (1<x<255,e.g.: x=8).

Wireless Advanced

These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge

about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the

change will have on your AP.



Authentications type: The default is set to “Auto”, which allows “Open System” or

“Shared Key” authentication to be used. Select “Shared Key” if you only want to use

“Shared Key” authentication (the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication).



Beacon Interval: The interval time of this 150Mbps Wireless Broadband Router broadcast

a beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. The valid interval is

20-1000, the default is 100.



RTS Threshold: You can set RTS Threshold value in this field, the valid range should be

256-2347 and default value is 2347. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS

threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled.



Aggregation: You can accelerate the wireless transmission speed by enabling the

aggregation function. The default is AMPDU

＋

AMSDU.



Fragmentation Threshold: It specifies the maximum size of packet during the

fragmentation of data to be transmitted.



Protection: Using 802.11b and 802.11g mixed mode may result in poor network

performance. By enabling 802.11 protection, it will ameliorate performance of 802.11g

devices in your wireless network.


