ESSID:

The

ESSID

is

the

unique

name

of

a

wireless

access

point

(AP)

used

to

distinguish

it

from

other

AP’s.

For

security

(

wlan-ap)

to

a

unique

ID

name.

The

be

able

to

connect

to

it

.

ESSID

Broadcast:

ESSID

Broadcast

is

the

function

that

controls

the

version.

Wireless Distribution System (WDS)

This

is

a

wireless

access

point

mode

that

enables

wireless

linking

and

communication

with

other

access

points.

It

is

easy

to

install

-

simply

define

the

peer

AP’s

MAC

address.

The

WDS

system

gives

a

cost

saving

and

flexible

method

of

extending

wireless

range,

since

no

extra

wireless

client

device

is

required

to

bridge

between

two

access

points.

Using

WDS,

the

user

can

extend

an

existing

wired

or

wireless

infrastructure

network

to

create

a

larger

network.

In

addition,

the

WDS

connection

can

provide

network

security

in

WEP

mode.

The

WEP

key

encryption

must

be

the

same

for

both

access

points.

WDS

Service:

The

default

setting

is

Disabled.

Check

Enable

radio

button

to

activate

this

function.

Peer

WDS

MAC

Address:

this

is

the

associated

AP’s

MAC

Address.

It

is

important

that

your

peer’s

AP

must

include

your

MAC

address

in

order

to

allow

the

AP’s

to

acknowledge

and

communicate

with

each

other.

Note:

For

Wireless

Security

You

can

disable

or

enable

WPA

or

WEP

for

protecting

your

wireless

network.

The

mode

is

WPA

WPA-PSK

(TKIP)

/

WPA-PSK

(AES)

Pre-Shared

Key

WPA

Algorithms:

There

are

two

types

of

WPA-PSK

security

:

WPA1

and

WPA2.

WPA1

adopts

the

TKIP

(Temporal

Key

Integrity

Protocol)

encrypted

algorithm,

which

incorporates

Message

Integrity

Code

(MIC),

to

provide

protection

against

hackers.

The

WPA2

adopts

the

CCMP

(Cipher

Block

Chaining

Message

Authentication

Code

Protocol)

of

the

AES

(Advanced

Security)

algorithm.

WPA

Shared

Key:

The

key

for

authentication.

The

input

format

is

in

character

style

and

key

size

should

be

in

the

range

between

8

63

characters.

By

default,

your

is

provided

with

a

unique

Key.

This

key

is

also

given

on

a

label

on

the

of

your

router/

Group

Key

Renewal:

The

time

interval

for

changing

the

security

key

automatically

between

wireless

client

and

Access

Point

(AP).

Default

value

is

3600

seconds.

Idle

Timeout:

The

default

idle

timeout

is

3600

seconds.

The

timeout

value

is

for

when

no

data

traffic

is

send

or

received.

If

Router

detects

no

traffic

on

the

wireless

interface,

it

will

start

a

timer,

and

drop

the

session

when

the

timer

reaches

the

defined

timeout

value.

A

session

will

be

established

when

WEP

Encryption:

To

prevent

unauthorized

wireless

stations

from

accessing

data

transmitted

over

the

network,

the

router

offers

highly

secure

data

encryption,

known

as

WEP.

If

you

require

high

security

for

transmissions,

there

are

two

alternatives

to

select

from:

WEP

64

and

WEP

128

.

WEP

128

will

offer

increased

security

over

WEP

64.

Passphrase:

This

is

used

to

generate

WEP

keys

automatically

based

upon

the

input

string

and

a

pre-defined

algorithm

in

WEP64

or

WEP128.

Default

Used

WEP

Key:

Select

key

ID;

please

Key

(1-4):

Enter

the

key

to

encrypt

wireless

data.

To

allow

encrypted

data

transmission,

the

WEP

Encryption

Key

values

on

all

wireless

stations

must

be

the

same

as

the

router.

There

are

four

keys

for

your

selection.

The

input

format

is

in

HEX

style,

5

and

13

HEX

codes

are

required

for

WEP64

and

WEP128

respectively,

the

separator

is

“-“.

For

example,

using

WEP64,

11-22-33-44-55

is

a

valid

key,

whilst

1122334455

is

invalid.
