Wireless Settings

This section mainly deals with the wireless settings, including Basic Settings, Security Setting,

Access Control and Advanced Settings.

6.1 Enable Wireless Mode

If not active, click “Enable” to start the Wireless Mode.

6.2 Basic Setting

Network Mode:

Select one mode from the following: 802.11b/g mixed, 802.11b, 802.11g and

802.11b/g/n mixed.

Main SSID:

Main SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the unique name of the wireless network.

This device has two SSID’s. The Main SSID is required.

Minor SSID:

Minor Service Set Identifier. It is optional.

Broadcast (SSID):

Select “enable” to enable the device's SSID to be visible by

wireless

clients.

Broadcast (SSID):

If enabled, the SSID will be visible to other wireless devices.

BSSID:

It is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area.

In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Medium Access Control) address of

the AP.

Channel:

Select the operating channel (from 1 to 13) of the wireless network.

Extension Channel:

To increase data throughput of a wireless network, an extension channel

is used. This is only applicable in

11n

mode.

Channel Bandwidth:

Select channel bandwidth to improve wireless performance. If the

wireless network is 11b/g or 11n-compliant, select 40M, else select 20M.

6.3 Wireless Security Settings

Before configuring the Security settings, make sure that all connecting devices can support the

encryption and algorithm that you specify.

6.3.1 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. WEP is based on RSA algorithm from

RC4. It is the original, but by current standards weak encryption method. We do not

recommend using this method.

If you need to use this method for compatibility reasons select ‘Mixed WEP’ to open the

following window:

SSID Choice:

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 Key:

Set the WEP key in either ASCII or Hex format.

Key Description:

Enter ASCII code (5 or 13 ASCII characters. Illegal characters such as “/”,

“@”, “&”,”$” etc. are not allowed), or 10/26 Hex characters.

Default Key:

Select one key from the four configured keys as the current available one.

6.3.2 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. Select “WPA-personal” from the drop-down

menu to open the following window:

WPA Algorithms:

Select one encryption type, AES or TKIP. (AES is stronger than TKIP.)

Pass Phrase:

Enter the key, 8-63 ASCII characters in length.

Key Renewal Interval:

Enter the key renewal period. It is to tell the Router how often to

change the keys.

6.3.3 WPA2-Personal

WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2), It's more secure than Wired Equivalent Privacy

(WEP) and easy to set up.

WPA Algorithms:

Select key Algorithms such as TKIP, AES and TKIP&AES.

Pass Phrase:

Enter the key, 8-63 ASCII characters in length.

Key Renewal Interval:

Enter the key renewal period. This will tell the Router how often to

change the keys.

NOTE:

To improve security, do not use those passwords, which can be found

in a dictionary or are easy to guess! Wireless clients will remember the

WEP key, so you only have to input the WEP key on wireless clients

once, and it is worth to use complicated WEP key to improve security.

6.4 WPS Setting

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setting) can be easy and quick to establish the connection between the

wireless network clients and the Router through encrypted contents. You only need to enter

the PIN code to configure without selecting encryption method and entering secret keys. The

magic happens automatically between WPS compliant devices.

WPS Setting:

Enable or disable the WPS function. This function is disabled by default.

WPS Mode:

Supports two ways to configure WPS settings: PBC (Push-Button Configuration)

and PIN code.

PBC:

Select PBC or press the WPS button on the front panel of the device for one second

(Press the button for one second and WPS indicator will be blinking for 2 minutes, which

means the WPS is enabled. During that time, you may enable other devices to start WPS/PBC

negotiation with the Router. WPS only supports up to 32 clients. After two minutes, the WPS

indicator will switch off. If more clients need to be added, repeat the above steps).

PIN:

If this option is enabled, you need to enter a wireless client PIN code in the field and keep

the same code in the client.

WPS Summary:

Show Wi-Fi current protection state, authentication mode, encryption method,

etc.

Note:

Press the WPS/Reset button for 1 second on the front panel to run PBC.

Press for 7 seconds, the device’s setting will restore to default setting. The

access client has to support WPS function when you implement WPS

settings.
