5.4. Wireless Settings - Basic In basic setting page, you can set wireless Radio, Mode, Band, SSID, and Channel. Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless. Mode: In this device, we support three operation modes which are AP router and AP route with WDS .
33 ESSID1~4: ESSID is the name of your wireless network. It might be a unique name to identify this wireless device in the Wireless LAN. It is case sensitive and up to 32 printable characters.
- WDS with AP Router Wireless Distribution System, a system t hat enables the wireless interconnection of access point, allows a wireless network to be extended using multiple APs without a wired backbone to link them. Each WDS AP needs same channel and encryption type settings.
35 Fragment Threshold: This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
36 Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected tr ansmission rate to transmit the data packets. N Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is th e rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes.
- Security This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, in cluded are WEP, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access.
38 IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing t he wirele ss LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates us ers by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication.
39 Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key" . Both AP and wireless client must be configured with t he same authentication type. Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit.
40 WP A-Radius Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access ( WPA ) is an advanced security standard. You can use an e xternal RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP o r C C M P ( AES ) to change the encryption key frequently.
41 - MAC Address Filtering This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network.
42 WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection.
43 Authentication Mode: It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless conn ection. Passphrase Key: It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by the wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information when using a device which doesn’t support WPS.
- Client List This WLAN Client Table shows the Wireless client associate to this Wir eless Router. - Policy The Router can allow you to set up the Wireless Access Policy.
5.5. Firewall Settings The Router provides extensive firewall protecti on by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defendi ng against a wide array of common Internet attacks.
