Basic
It let you determine whether to enable Wireless function and set the basic parameters of an AP and
the Virtual APs.
Wireless:
Default setting is set to Enable. If you do not have any wireless devices, check the
checkbox again to unselect.
Hide SSID:
It is function in which transmits its SSID to the air so that when wireless client searches
for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Check the checkbox to determine
whether you want to hide SSID.
Clients Isolation:
If you enabled this function, then each of your wireless clients will not be able to
communicate with each other.
Disable WMM Advertise:
Stop the router from ‘advertising’ its Wireless Multimedia (WMM)
functionality, which provides basic quality of service for time-sensitive applications (e.g. VoIP, Video).
Check to disable or enable this function.
Wireless multicast Forwarding (WMF):
check to enable or disable wireless multicast forwarding.
SSID:
The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another.
For security purpose, change the default wlan-ap-2.4g to a unique ID name to the AP already built-in
to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters. Make sure
your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get connected to your network.
Note:
SSID is case sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters.
BSSID:
Basic Set Service Identifier, it is a local managed IEEE MAC address, and is 48 bits value.
Country:
Different countries have different wireless band resources, so you can select the
appropriate Country according to your location.
Max Clients:
enter the number of max clients the wireless network can supports,1-16.
Guest/virtual Access Points:
A “Virtual Access Point” is a logical entity that exists within a physical
Access Point (AP). When a single physical AP supports multiple “Virtual APs”, each Virtual AP
appears to stations (STAs) to be an independent physical AP, even though only a single physical AP

is present. For example, multiple Virtual APs might exist within a single physical AP, each advertising
a distinct SSID and capability set. Alternatively, multiple Virtual APs might advertise the same SSID
but a different capability set – allowing access to be provided via Web Portal, WEP, and WPA
simultaneously. Where APs are shared by multiple providers, Virtual APs provide each provider with
separate authentication and accounting data for their users, as well as diagnostic information,
without sharing sensitive management traffic or data between providers. You can enable the virtual
AP.
Here you can enable some Virtual APs according to the request. And the other parameters of virtual
APs are the same to the above.

Security
Wireless security prevents unauthorized access or damage to computers using wireless network.
Note
The WPS feature will also be unavailable when the security setting is not WPA2 or OPEN. So, if you
manually set the wireless security setting, you should give notice to it, but you can find prompt
indicating configuration.
Manual Setup AP

WPA
WPA Group ReKey Internal:
The period of renewal time for changing the security key automatically
between wireless client and Access Point (AP). This is in seconds.
RADIUS Server IP Address:
RADIUS( Remote Authentication Dial In User Service), Enter the
IP address of RADIUS authentication server.
RADIUS Server Port:
Enter the port number of RADIUS authentication server here.
RADIUS Key:
Enter the password of RADIUS authentication server.
WPA/WAPI Encryption:
There are two Algorithms, AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) and
TKIP(Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) which help to protect the wireless communication.
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK
WPA/WAPI passphrase:
Enter the WPA.WAPI passphrase; you can
