WPA/WPA2 Re-auth Interval
Sends a new group key to all clients at the specified interval
for a wireless router (if using WPA-PSK key management) or
RADIUS server (if using WPA key management). The re-
keying process is the WPA equivalent of automatically
changing the WEP key for a wireless access point and all
stations in the WLAN on a periodic basis. Setting the WPA
Group Key Update Timer is also supported in WPA-PSK
mode.
WEP Encryption
Enables or disables WEP encryption. If you do not have
wireless clients that can use WPA or WPA2, you can use WEP
key encrypting. A higher bit key offers better security. WEP
encryption scrambles the data transmitted between the wireless
stations and the DDW365 to keep network communications
private. It encrypts unicast and multicast communications in a
network. Both the wireless stations and the DDW365 must use
the same WEP key. Data Encryption can be set to WEP
128-
bit, 64-bit,
or
Disable.
Shared Key Authentication
Defines Shared Key Authentication as optional or required.
Shared Key is an authentication method used by wireless
LANs, which follow the IEEE 802.11 standard. Wireless
devices authenticate each other by using a secret key that is
kept by both devices.
802.1x Authentication
Enables or disables 802.1x to authenticate wireless clients.
Network Key 1-4
Pre-defines up to 4 keys for 64-bit or 128-bit (64-bit keys
require 10 hexadecimal digits) (128-bit key require 26
hexadecimal digits).
Current Network Key
Selects one of the four pre-defined keys as the current
network key.
Passphrase
Sets the WEP encryption key by entering a word or group of
printable characters in the Passphrase box and clicking
Generate WEP keys. These characters are case sensitive.
Generate WEP Keys
Forces the device to generate 4 WEP keys automatically.
Apply
Saves changes.
Automatic Security Configuration
— Sets up WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for devices connecting
to the wireless network.
WPS/Disabled
Enables or disables WPS option. When enabled, the
following fields are available:
WPS Config State
Defines if the WPS has been configured or not.
Device Name
Defines a name for this wireless cable modem for WPS.
WPS Setup AP
UUID
Defines the universal unique identifier (UUID) for this access
point.
PIN
Defines the Personal Identification Number for this access
point.

Enabling a Closed Network on the Primary Network
You can enable the Closed Network option so the SSID cannot be broadcast or seen by
others.
Steps
To enable a closed network:
1.
Access the pull down menu for the
Closed Network
.
2. Choose
Enabled
to enable a closed network. Automatic Security Configuration is
disabled.
9.3
Using the Advanced Option
Use the
Advanced
option to configure data rates and Wi-Fi thresholds.
1.
Click
Wireless
from the main menu.
2. Click
Advanced
from the left side menu. Field descriptions are listed below the screen
example.
Generate AP PIN
Creates a new PIN for this access point.
WPS Add Client
Add a client
Activates wireless protected setup (WPS) security on the
device.
To add a client:
1. Click Add a client. The WPS Add Client screen is
displayed.
2. Click PUSH on the WPS Add Client screen.The WPS
button is activated on the device, indicated by a flashing
white light on top of the unit.
3. Press the WPS button on the device.
Client PIN
Defines a PIN number for client access.
Authorized Client MAC
Defines the MAC address of the authorized client.

54g™ Mode
Selects the network mode in which to run the DDW365. The
options are:
54g auto – self adaptive connection
54g performance – highest speed
54g LRS – limited speed
802.11b – connections to 11b clients only.
This field can be set only if 802.11-n Mode is set to
Off
in the
Radio screen as discussed on
Using the Wireless Radio Option
on page 66
.
XPress™ Technology
Enables or disables the XPress feature. XPress™ is a
standards-based frame-bursting approach to improve 802.11g
wireless LAN performance developed by Broadcom. When
Xpress enabled, aggregate throughput can improve up to 27%
in 802.11g-only networks, and up to 75% in mixed networks
comprised of 802.11g and 802.11b standard equipment.
802.11n Protection
Defines the 802.11n Protection setting.
Auto
- the DDW365 uses Request to Send/Clear to Send
(RTS/CTS) to improve the performance in 802.11 mixed
environments.
Off
- the 802.11 performance is maximized under most
conditions, while the other 802.11 modes (802.11b, etc.) are
secondary.
Short Guard Interval
Defines a transmission interval so data transmissions do not
interfere with each another.
Basic Rate Set
Selects the rate that all wireless clients must support to connect
to the DDW365. The options are
All
and
Default
.
Multicast Rate
Specifies the rate at which multicast packets are transmitted and
received on your wireless network.

Using the Access Control Option
Use the
Access Control
option to configure which clients can access your wireless
network.
Steps
To configure client access:
1.
Click
Wireless
from the main menu.
2. Click
Access Control
from the left side menu.
Field descriptions are listed below the
screen example.
NPHY Rate
Sets the Physical Layer (NPHY) rate. Choose Legacy Rate to
use 802.11a or 802.11g modes, and then choose the rate in the
Legacy Rate field.
Legacy Rate
Sets the wireless rate to the chosen 802.11a or 802.11g legacy
rate.
Beacon Interval
Specifies the Beacon Interval from 100 to 65535ms. This value
indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a
packet broadcast by the DDW365 to keep the network
synchronized. A beacon includes information regarding the
wireless networks service area, the access point address, the
broadcast destination addresses, a time stamp, delivery traffic
indicator maps, and the Traffic Indicator Message (TIM).
DTIM Interval
Specifies the DTIM interval from 3 to 255ms. This value
indicates how often the DDW365 sends out a Delivery Traffic
Indication Message (DTIM). Lower settings result in more
efficient networking, while preventing your wireless clients from
dropping into power-saving sleep mode. Higher settings allow
your wireless clients to enter sleep mode, thus saving power,
but interferes with wireless transmissions.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Specifies the fragmentation threshold packet size between 256-
2346 bytes. Fragmentation takes place when a packet’s size
exceeds the fragmentation threshold.
RTS Threshold
Specifies the RTS (request to send) threshold from 0 to 2347ms.
This setting determines how large a packet can be before the
DDW365 coordinates transmission and reception to ensure
efficient communication. This value should remain at its default
setting of 2347 bytes. If you encounter inconsistent data flow,
minor modification to this setting is recommended.
