This is the configuration interface, where most AirStation settings can be configured.
Connect Your Wireless Devices
For each wireless device that you want to connect to the network, use the device’s built-in software to search for
available networks. Find your SSID (the name of your wireless network) on the list of detected networks and select it.
Enter the passphrase for the network and you’ll be connected. Repeat for any additional wireless client devices that you
want to connect.

Wireless
Configure basic wireless settings here. This mode is available in router and access point mode only.
2.4 GHz (11n/g/b)
5 GHz (11ac/n/a)
You may enable or disable either wireless frequency range independently. If both
wireless radios are disabled, the AirStation will not communicate wirelessly.
SSID 1
Each SSID may contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
Encryption
The following types of encryption are available:
WPA2-PSK AES
WPA2 authentication with AES encryption is the best system available. Highly
recommended if all your wireless clients support it.
WPA-PSK AES
WPA authentication with AES encryption is an older system, but still secure.
WPA/WPA2-mixed PSK TKIP+AES
For maximum compatibility, this system allows any combination of WPA, WPA2, TKIP, and
AES. This encryption system works with most older clients but is not very secure.
No Encryption
No encryption means that anyone can log in to your wireless network, snoop on your
wireless traffic, and use your bandwidth. Not recommended for most users.
Encryption Key
The encryption key is like the “password” for your wireless network. It may contain 8 to
63 case-sensitive alphanumeric characters (ASCII) or 64 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and
a-f, not case-sensitive).
Channel
For best results, select
Auto Channel
. The AirStation will seek and use the clearest
channel automatically. Alternately, you may choose a wireless channel manually.
Bandwidth
In rural areas with little wireless traffic, a larger bandwidth setting may improve wireless
performance significantly. However, if you are in an urban area with much wireless traffic
and interference, the default bandwidth is recommended.
