Wireless

Ĉ

Click

ņ

Enabled

Ň

and start to set up the Wireless LAN

Interface and start using wireless network.

œ

Wireless Mode

Ĉ

There are two wireless rate mode:

802.11 b/g

, and

802.11 b

.

œ

SSID

Ĉ

Every SSID is unique in the WLAN (SSID can be 16-digit

ASCII characters and case-sensitive). SSID can prevent two nearby

WLAN from combining to be one. You can give BLW-54MF an SSID,

and only whose SSID is the same with it can connect with it.

œ

Region

Ĉ

Scroll down the list to choose a region for collocating with the

appropriate channels.

œ

Channel

Ĉ

Here shows the channels provided by the local wireless

connection. The setting of the channels of the wireless network should

be the same as the wireless APs.

œ

Extended Range Mode

Ĉ

Choose

ņ

Enabled

Ň

and start to use wireless

XR (eXtended Range)

mode which can enhance the wireless coverage

of BLW-54MF.

œ

SSID Broadcast

Ĉ

If you want to let other users to find you on the LAN,

you may choose

ņ

Enabled

Ň

to start SSID Broadcast, yet you should

enter a Network Name (SSID) before enabling this function; otherwise,

you can choose

ņ

Disabled.

Ň

œ

WDS

Ĉ

Enabling the WDS function can let BLW-54MF Wireless Router

connect with other specific WDS AP through wireless interface. If two

wireless AP need to connect with each other, they can use BLW-54MF

as the Repeater or as the Bridge to bridge the other two APs. There are

three modes: Disabled, Repeater, and Bridge. Please choose a proper

mode according to the real environment.

6.2 Authentication

In this page, you can configure the security of your wireless network.

Selecting different method can make different levels of security. However,

no matter what kind of authentication or encryption you use to prevent data

packets from being eavesdropped by people without authentication, it may

cause decrease of the data throughput of the wireless connection.

Authentication

There are four kinds of authentication of BLW-54MF Wireless Router:

WEP, WPA, WPA2,

and

WPA-AUTO (PSK).

After selecting the

authentication mode, it has to cooperate with the encryption type. The

settings of authentication on the destination network must be the same with

BLW-54MF.

Ɩ

WEP

is short for Wired Equivalent Privacy, a security protocol for

WLANs defined in the 802.11b standard. WEP is designed to provide

the same level of security as that of a wired LAN. WEP aims to provide

security by encrypting data over radio waves so that it is protected as it

transmitted from one end point to another. There are two kinds of WEP

encryption: 64 bit and 128 bit. 64 bit needs 10 hex characters to be the key

and 128 bit needs 26 hex characters.

ASCII

–Numerical values, characters or signs are all

allowed to be arranged into a WEP key. It is more recognizable for user.

œ

WEP Key

Ĉ

64-bit

–Enter 10-digit Hex values or 5-digit ASCII values

as the encryption keys. For example:

ņ

0123456aef

Ň

or

ņ

Guest.

Ň

128-bit

–Enter 26-digit Hex values or 13-digit ASCII values as the

encryption keys. For example:

WPA

is short for Wi-Fi Protected Access. It was designed to improve

upon the security features of WEP. The technology is designed to work

with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. Through

the data encryption, access control and authentication, it provides better

protection over data transmission. WPA uses 128-digit keys to ensure the

wireless network privacy and security.
