Wireless
The
Wireless
option, improving functionality and performance for wireless network, can help you
to make the AP an ideal solution for your wireless network.
Here you can create a wireless local area network just through a few settings. Basic Settings is
used for the configuration of some basic parameters of the AP. Wireless Mode allows you to
select the mode that AP works on. Security Settings provides three different security types to
secure your data and thus provide greater security for your wireless network. MAC filtering allows
you to control the access of wireless stations to the AP. Wireless Statistics shows you the
statistics of current connected Wireless stations. Distance Setting
is used to adjust the wireless
range in outdoor conditions. Antenna Alignment shows how remote AP's signal strength changes
while changing the antenna's direction.
Throughput Monitor helps to watch wireless throughput
information Wireless statistics enables you to get detailed information about the current
connected wireless stations.
There are eight submenus under the Wireless menu (shown in Figure 5-15):
