BSSID
：
BSS is a special Ad-hoc LAN application. A wireless
network consists of, at least, an AP that is connected to wired
network and several wireless workstations, which is called BSS
(Basic Service Set).
A group of PCs with the same BBS name can establish a group, and
this BBS name is called BSSID. In a small wireless LAN environment,
there is only one AP and all clients share the same BSSID, which is
usually the MAC address of the AP.
±
Max Clients:
The max number of wireless clients that are allowed
to be connected to the wireless network is 16 and system default
is 8. You can modify it manually (The Max number is 16).
±
Channel:
wireless signal needs to be transferred through a

certain channel. If two transmission signals are using the same
channel, then mutual interference will be caused to decrease
communication efficiency. There are 13 channels (1 to 13) for your
option. Thus, to avoid interferences, you are recommended to
choose the channel that is different from that of another SSID. If
you select “Auto”, then system will automatically choose a channel
with relatively less interference for your wireless network.
±
Bandwidth:
The bandwidth here refers to wireless signal’s
frequency width that only functions in b/g/n mixed wireless mode.

4.3.2 Security Setting
±
WPS Setup:
Wi-Fi protected setting (WPS) can create encrypted
connection between wireless network clients and the router simply
and quickly. Without selecting an encryption mode and configuring
a key, you only need to enter the correct PIN code or select the
“Push Button” (press the WPS button on the router’s back panel)
to easily configure WPS. Instructions for operation are described
below:
±
Push Button:
Press the WPS button for about 1 second and the
WPS LED will keep flashing for about 2 minutes, which indicates
the function is enabled. During this time, wireless client can
enable WPS/PBC for authentication negotiation; if negotiation
succeeds, then the WPS LED remains “always on”. A wireless
client is successfully connected.

PIN:
To use PIN, you must know wireless client’s PIN code and
input it in its text box, then save this configuration. Meanwhile, use
the same PIN code in the client for connection.
±
Enable WPS:
check/uncheck to enable/disable the WPS function.
It is enabled by default.
Note:
The WPS feature only functions with wireless network
available.
±
Network Authentication:
To secure your wireless network,
system provides several authentication modes:
±
Open:
you can select “no encryption” or WEP
（
64 bits/128 bits
）
as encryption algorithm.
±
Shared:
you can select WEP 64 bits/ WEP 128 bits as encryption
algorithm.
±
WPA-PSK:
you can select AES, TKIP or TKIP+AES as encryption
algorithm.
±
WPA2-PSK:
you can select AES, TKIP or TKIP+AES as
encryption algorithm.
±
Mixed WPA/ WPA2-PSK:
you can select AES, TKIP or TKIP+AES
as encryption algorithm.
4.3.3 MAC Filter
