- Select if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n.
802.11ac Only
- Select only if all of your wireless clients are 802.11ac.
Mixed 802.11a and 802.11n
- Select if you are using both 802.11n
and 802.11a wireless clients.
Mixed 802.11ac and 802.11n
- Select if you are using both 802.11n
and 802.11ac wireless clients.
Mixed 802.11ac, 802.11n and 802.11a
- Select if you are using
802.11ac, 802.11n, and 802.11a wireless clients.
The
Auto Channel Scan
setting can be selected to allow the DGL-
5500 to choose the channel with the least amount of interference.
Indicates the channel setting for the DGL-5500. The Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or to customize the
wireless network. If you check
Enable Auto Channel Scan
, this option will be greyed out.
Select the Channel Width:
20MHz
- Select if you are not using any 802.11n wireless clients.
20/40MHz(Auto)
- This is the default setting. Select if you are using both 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices.
20/40/80MHz(Auto)
- Select if you are using 802.11ac, 802.11n and non-802.11n wireless devices. This option is only available when the 802.11 Mode is set
to Mixed 802.11ac.
Select
Invisible
if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be broadcasted by the DGL-5500. If Invisible is selected, the SSID of the DGL-5500 will
not be seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID of your DGL-5500 in order to connect to it.

Section 4 - Security
Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The DGL-5500 offers the
following types of security:
• WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is
based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
• User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP
regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple
to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized
network users can access the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between
8 and 63 characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your
wireless router or access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public
key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
