Wireless Configuration and Security
This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your ProSafe Wireless-N 8-Port
Gigabit VPN Firewall FVS318N. This chapter includes the following sections:
•
Overview of the Wireless Features
•
Configure the Basic Radio Settings
•
Wireless Data Security Options
•
Wireless Security Profiles
•
Configure Advanced Radio Settings
•
Test Basic Wireless Connectivity
Before you set up the wireless features that are described in this chapter, connect the
wireless VPN firewall and get the Internet connection working. The wireless VPN firewall
should work with an Ethernet WAN connection. In planning your wireless network, consider
the level of security required.
WARNING:
If you are configuring the wireless settings from a wireless
computer and you change the wireless VPN firewall’s SSID,
channel, or wireless security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply. You then need to change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the wireless VPN
firewall’s new settings.
Overview of the Wireless Features
The wireless VPN firewall integrates a single 2.4 GHz radio and physical access point that
provides 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and
radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other
devices. You can configure up to four wireless security profiles and SSIDs, allowing you to
tailor access and security to a variety of wireless clients.
The wireless VPN firewall provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices
within a fixed range or area of coverage—interacting with a wireless network interface card

(NIC) through an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building wireless access point provides a
maximum connectivity area of about a 300-foot radius. The wireless VPN firewall can support
a small group of wireless users—typically 10 to 32 users.
Configure the wireless features according to the order of the following sections:
1.
Configure the Basic Radio Settings
2.
Configure and Enable Wireless Profiles
3.
(Optional)
Configure Wi-Fi Protected Setup
4.
(Optional)
Configure Advanced Radio Settings
Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines
The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the location of the
wireless VPN firewall. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power
consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.
Note:
Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance
degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the wireless VPN firewall.
For complete performance specifications, see the Data Sheet at
.
For best results, place your wireless VPN firewall according to the following general
guidelines:
•
Near the center of the area in which your wireless devices will operate.
•
In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected devices have
line-of-sight access (even if through walls).
•
Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves ovens, and 2.4-GHz
cordless phones.
•
Away from large metal surfaces or water.
•
Placing the antennas in a vertical position provides the best side-to-side coverage.
Placing the antennas in a horizontal position provides the best up-and-down coverage.
•
If you are using multiple wireless access points such as the wireless VPN firewall, it is
better if access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The
recommended channel space between adjacent access points is five channels (for
example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11, or 1 and 11).
•
The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your
security settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish.
Also, WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.

Configure the Basic Radio Settings
The radio settings apply to all wireless profiles on the wireless VPN firewall. The default
wireless mode is 802.11ng. You can change the wireless mode, country, and many other
radio settings on the Radio Settings screen (described in this section) and on the Advanced
Wireless screen (see
Configure Advanced Radio Settings
on page 122). The default radio
settings should work well for most configurations.
To configure the basic radio settings:
1.
Select
Network Configuration > Wireless Settings > Radio Settings
.
The Radio
Settings screen displays:
