For 5 GHz: At present, the router can connect to 11a Only,

11n Only(5 GHz), Mixed (11a+11n), and Mixed

(11a+11n+11ac) stations simultaneously. Simply choose

Mixed (11a+11n+11ac) mode.

In which, 802.11b/g operates on 2.4G band, 802.11a operates

on 5G band, 802.11n operates on either 2.4G or 5G band, and

802.11ac operates on 5G band only.

Channel

Means the channel of frequency of the wireless LAN. The

default channel is 6 (for 2.4GHz) / 36 (for 5GHz). You may

switch channel if the selected channel is under serious

interference. If you have no idea of choosing the frequency,

please select Auto to let system determine for you.

if 802.1x mode is selected.

Disable

- Turn off the encryption mechanism.

WEP-

Accepts only WEP clients and the encryption key

should be entered in WEP Key.

WEP/802.1x Only -

Accepts only WEP clients and the

encryption key is obtained dynamically from RADIUS

server with 802.1X protocol.

WPA/802.1x Only-

Accepts only WPA clients and the

encryption key is obtained dynamically from RADIUS

server with 802.1X protocol.

WPA2/802.1x Only-

Accepts only WPA2 clients and the

encryption key is obtained dynamically from RADIUS

server with 802.1X protocol.

Mixed (WPA+WPA2/802.1x only) -

Accepts WPA and

WPA2 clients simultaneously and the encryption key is

obtained dynamically from RADIUS server with 802.1X

protocol.

WPA/PSK-

key should be entered in PSK.

WPA2/PSK-

Accepts only WPA2 clients and the

encryption key should be entered in PSK.

Mixed (WPA+ WPA2)/PSK -

Accepts WPA and WPA2

clients simultaneously and the encryption key should be

entered in PSK.

WPA

The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio

using the key, which either PSK (Pre-Shared Key) entered

manually in this field below or automatically negotiated via

802.1x authentication. Either

8~63

ASCII characters, such

as 012345678(or 64 Hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such
