Wireless settings

This chaper describes how to configure other wireless features of your ASUS DSL-N13

ADSL Wireless Router.

Setting up SSID

SSID stands for Service Set Identifier, also known as the name of a wireless network.

To connect a wireless router, or to form a wireless bridge system, all wireless routers or

APs or clients must have the same SSID.To setup SSID:

1. Click

Wireless -> Basic

in the left side menu to open the configuration page.

2. Select

Enable Wireless

checkbox.

3.

You can hide DSL-N13 from wireless scanning by selecting

Hide Access Point

,

but wireless clients still can connect to DSL-N13 by specifying correct SSID.

4.

Define the SSID for DSL-N13. The default SSID is

Default

.

5. Press

Save/Apply

to save and activate the settings.

Setting up wireless security

To protect your wireless network, you need to setup a security mechanism at both

DSL-N13 and the wireless clients.

Network authentication

Network authentication uses certain types of mechanism to identify authenticated

wireless clients. DSL-N13 supports the following authentication methods:

Open:

This option disables authentication protection for your wireless network.

Under the Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g wireless client can connect to

your wireless network.

Shared:

Shared means using the same WEP keys for authentication and encryption.

802.1X:

802.1X uses RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-Up User Service) server

to authenticate wireless clients with a user name and password. It can

authenticate user with different levels of access right.

WPA:

WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security

modes for Home/SOHO user and enterprise network. The former

solution adopts Pre-Shared Key for authentication, and the later uses the

existing 802.1X RADIUS server in the enterprise network to process the

authentication requests.

WPA - PSK:

WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the solution for home and SOHO users

who have no 802.11X authentication server within the LAN. To setup

WPA-PSK, you need to input a passphrase and let the system generate

the key. Combination of letters, numbers and non-alphnumeric charecters

is recommended for ensuring security.

Encryption

Encryption is used to convert plain text data into unreadable codes with certain type of

algorithm before capsulation for wireless transmission. DSL-N13 supports the following

encryption methods:

WEP:

WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. It uses 64 or 128-bit static

keys. You can let the system generate the WEP keys by inputting a

Passphrase.

TKIP:

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) dynamically generates unique

keys to encypt every data packet in a wireless session.

AES:

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is a dependable encryption

adopted in WPA2 or IEEE802.11i standard. It offers stronger protection

and greatly increases the complexity of wireless encryption.

TKIP + AES:

For a network where WPA clients (using TKIP encryption) and WPA2

clients (using AES encryption) co-exit. Select this option to enable both.
