clients to connect to X650 (maximum transfer rate

54Mbps for 802.11a clients).

5GHz (N): this mode allows 802.11n wireless network

clients to connect to X650 (maximum transfer rate

300Mbps for 802.11n clients).

5GHz (A+N): this mode allows 802.11a and 802.11n

5GHz (A+N+AC): this mode allows 802.11a, 802.11n

and 802.11ac wireless network clients to connect to X650

(maximum transfer rate 54Mbps for 802.11a clients,

maximum 300Mbps for 802.11n clients, and maximum

867Mbps for 802.11ac clients).

SSID (3):

This is the name of the wireless router. You can type any

alphanumerical characters here (maximum 32

characters). SSID is used to identify your own wireless

router from others when there are other wireless routers

in the same area. Default SSID is ‘default’, it’s

recommended to change default SSID value to one that is

meaningful to you, like myhome, office_room1, etc.

Channel Number (4): Please select a channel from the dropdown list of

‘Channel Number’. You can choose any channel number

you want and almost all wireless clients can locate the

channel you are using automatically without any problem.

However, it is still useful to remember the channel

number you use as some wireless clients support manual

channel number select, and this would help in certain

scenarios when there is a radio communication problem.

The available channel numbers for the following bands

are:

2.4GHz Band

The available channel numbers are 1 to 13 for European

countries, 1 to 11 for USA.

NOTE: For 802.11n/11ac mode: The router is operating in a 2T2R

Spatial Multiplexing MIMO configuration.

5GHz Band

The available channel numbers are 36 to 140 (36~ 48,

52~64, 100~ 140) for European countries, and 36 to 165

(36~48, 149~165) for USA.

Associated Clients (5): Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button and an “Active

Wireless Client Table” will pop up. Here you can see the

status of all active wireless stations connected to the

access point.

8.1.2 Setup procedure for ‘Station

‐

Infrastructure’:

In this mode, you can connect the router to an Ethernet device (such as TV,

Game player, HDD&DVD) and enable the Ethernet device to be a wireless

station and join to a wireless network through an access point or AP router.

2.4GHz Station (Infrastructure) Settings

TIPS: You can try to change the channel number to another one if you

think the data transfer rate is too slow. There could be some other

wireless routers using the same channel, which will disturb the radio

communication between the wireless client and the X650.

NOTE: If you don’t have a special reason to limit the type of allowed

wireless client, it is recommended to choose ‘2.4GHz (B+G+N) and

5GHz (A+N+AC) to maximize wireless client compatibility.

5GHz Station (Infrastructure) Settings

Here are descriptions of each setup item:

Band (2):

Select the band you want to use.

SSID (3):

This is the name of the wireless network. You can type the

SSID of the network you would like to connect to here.

Site Survey (4):

When you use the X650 as a wireless station for Ethernet

network devices to have wireless capability, you have to

associate it with a working access point. Click ‘Select

Site Survey’ button, then a “Wireless Site Survey Table”

will pop up. It will list all available access points nearby.

You can select an access point from the table and it will

join wireless LAN through this access point.

8.1.3 Setup procedure for ‘AP Bridge

‐

Point to Point’:

In this mode, you can connect the X650 with another to combine two access

points and expand the scope of your wireless network, and all clients (wired

only – AP will not accept wireless clients in this mode) of the two wireless

routers will think they are on the same physical network. This function is very

convenient when you need to connect two networks between two buildings.

Here are instructions on how to connect two wireless routers together:
