Wireless Settings
SSID Guest
Enable or disable this option, which activates the Gateway’s ability to host a guest
SSID, by clicking in the appropriate radio button. Setting up a guest SSID allows
the user to provide a separate network on the Gateway that can access the Internet,
but does not allow access to devices (printers, other computers, etc.) connected
to the Gateway’s main network. Guest SSID networks are usually created to allow
temporary access to the Internet to one-time users.
SSID Broadcast
Click in the Enable radio button to activate SSID broadcasting, which allows any
computer searching for available wireless networks to detect this network (how-
ever, if this network is protected with some form of wireless security, they will not
be able to join the network unless they know the security password). Clicking in
the Disable radio button turns off SSID broadcasting.
SSID Name
If applicable, enter the name of the Gateway’s wireless network in this text box.
Security
There are four choices available in this drop-down list:
WPA/WPA2
This form of wireless security is the default setting on the Gateway. When select-
ed, you can select the WPA Type (WPA orWPA2-Personal, WPA Personal, or
WPA2-Personal), Encryption Type (AES, TKP, or Both), and whether to use the
Gateway’s automatically generated default key/passphrase, or create one of your
own, then click
Apply
to save your changes.

WEP
WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy. To use WEP, select it from the
Security drop-down list, then select the Authentication Type (Open or Shared).
Finally, select whether to use the Gateway’s automatically generated default key/
passphrase, or create one of your own (the more keys used, the stronger the
security), then click
Apply
to save your changes.
WEP + 802.1x
802.1x WEP is a robust security protocol that uses port control with dynamically
changing encryption keys automatically updated over the network. 802.1x WEP
uses a RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-in Service) server for authentica-
tion purposes. This server must be physically connected to the Gateway. Also,
the user must enable the RADIUS client embedded in the Gateway.
1.
Enter the RADIUS server IP address in the Radius Server IP text box.
2.
Enter the RADIUS server’s port number in the Radius Port text box.

Compatibility Mode
Allows you to modify the Gateway’s wireless network to allow certain devices
to join, based on the device’s compatibility. Choices include Compatible Mode
(802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n), Balanced Mode (802.11g + n only), Performance
Mode (802.11n only), Legacy Mode (802.11 b + g only), 802.11g only, and
802.11b only.
Maximum Spatial Streams
Spatial streams boost the efficiency of the wireless network, resulting in higher
speeds across the network. However, the more spatial streams you use, the less sta-
ble the wireless network connections. Choices include Auto (adjusts spatial streams
automatically), 1, and 2.
Channel Width
Choices include 20 Mhz and 40 Mhz.
Control Channel
Choices include None (20 Mhz channel width only), Lower, and Upper.
MSDU Aggregation, MPDU Aggregation
Enable or disable these options by selecting the appropriate choice from the drop-
down lists. They should only be changed if requested by your ISP.
WMM, WMM Power Save
Enable or disable these options by clicking in the appropriate radio buttons.

Channel
Select the channel at which the Gateway’s wireless network operates. Choices
include channels 1 through 11, and Auto Detect, which allows devices on the net-
work to automatically detect the channel.

Adjust the power of the Gateway’s wireless network signal by selecting a percentage
from 10% to 100% from the drop-down list
WPS
Click
WPS
in any Wireless screen to generate the WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
screen. WPS provides a simple method of setting up a wireless network by auto-
matically sharing the network key between the Gateway and other wireless devices.
