b. Or you can use the Open Scan option.

Click the “Open Scan” button to display a list of available wireless

networks.

2) Select the iB-WRH150N-2

’s SSID from the list and click OK on the

appearing dialogue box; iB-WRH150N-2

’s MAC address, S

SID and

channel settings will be automatically added to the iBl-WRH150N-1

3) Click OK to save your settings.

4) Configure wireless security settings. For this step, refer to section 5.2

hereof.

5) Repeat steps 1-4 on iB-WRH150N-2. After the 2 routers have added

each other’s MAC address and share the same SSID, channel, security

settings and security key, the WDS feature can be implemented.

Note:

1. WDS feature can be implemented only between 2 wireless devices that both

support the WDS feature. Plus, SSID, channel, security settings and security key

must be the same on both devices. Using the Open Scan option and selecting link

partner from the scan list automatically change the router’s existing SSID and

channel settings respectively to those of lin

k partner as well as add link partner’s

MAC address. So we recommend you to use this Open Scan option for easy WDS

settings.

2. Using WEP encryption improves WDS compatibility. For this reason, we

recommend you to encrypt your wireless network with WEP when using the WDS

feature.

5.2 Wireless Security

This section allows you to configure wireless security settings to block

unauthorized access to your wireless network and prevent malicious

packet sniffing. You have 4 ways to encrypt your wireless data: WPS,

WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.

5.2.1 WPS Settings

Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes it easy for home users who know little of

wireless security to establish a secure wireless home network, as well as

to add new devices to an existing network without entering long

passphrases or configuring complicated settings. Simply enter a PIN code

or press the software PBC button or hardware WPS button (if any) and a

secure wireless connection is established.

●

WPS Settings

: Select to enable/disable the WPS encryption. It is

enabled by default.

●

WPS Mode

: Select PBC (Push-Button Configuration) or PIN.

●

PBC

: Click this software button or directly press the hardware WPS

button on both your router and the new wireless client device (that you

want to connect to your router wirelessly) for 1 second to establish an easy

and secure wireless connection.

●

: To use this option you must know the PIN code from the wireless

client. Simply click the PIN radio button an

d enter client’s PIN code while

using the same PIN code on client side for secure connection.

●

Reset OOB

: When clicked, the WPS LED will display a solid light; the

WPS function will be disabled automatically; WPS server on the Router

enters idle mode a

nd will not respond to client’s WPS connection request.

Note

1. If you find the WPS LED blinking for 2 minutes after you select and apply

the PBC mode, it means that the PBC encryption method is successfully enabled.

And an authentication will be performed between your router and the

WPS/PBC-enabled wireless client device during this time; if it succeeds, the

wireless client device connects to your device, and the WPS LED displays a solid

light thereafter. Repeat steps mentioned above if you want to connect more wireless

client devices to your router.

2. The WPS function can be implemented only between your Router and

another WPS-enabled device.

5.2.2 WPA-PSK

The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i

standard. It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it

dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a

message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being

hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless

network.

●

Security Mode

: Select a proper mode, which is also supported by your

wireless clients, from the drop-down menu.

●

WPA Algorithms

: Select either AES (advanced encryption standard) or

TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol) type.

●

Key

: Enter a security key

，

which must be between 8-63 ASCII

characters.

●

Key Renewal Interval

: Enter a valid time period for the key.

5.2.3 WPA2-PSK

The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with the full IEEE

802.11i standard and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in

addition to TKIP encryption protocol to guarantee better security than that

provided by WEP or WPA.

5.2.4 WEP

WEP is intended to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of

a traditional wired network. Two methods of authentication can be used

with WEP: Open System authentication and Shared Key authentication.

●

WEP Key

: You can select either ASCII or Hexadecimal from the

drop-down menu.

Note

: If you select ASCII, enter 5 or 13 valid ASCII characters; or if you

select Hexadecimal, enter 10 or 26 Hexadecimal characters.

●

Default Key

: Select one key from the 4 preset keys.

5.3 MAC Filtering

The MAC filtering feature can be used to allow or disallow clients to

connect to your wireless network.
