Note: Firmware updates with new features and bug fixes are made available from time to time at downloadcenter.netgear.com. Some products can regularly check the site and download new firmware, or you can check for and download new firmware manually. If the features or behavior of your product do not match what is described in this guide, you might need to update your firmware. About the ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 The ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660, going forward in this manual referred to as the wireless access point, is a powerful building block of a wireless LAN infrastructure. It provides concurrent 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n and 5 GHz 802.11a/n connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. Support for three 6 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 transmit radio chains and three receive radio chains, also referred to as 3x3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO), can increase wireless throughput considerably. The wireless access point provides wireless connectivity to multiple wireless network devices within a fixed range or area of coverage—interacting with a wireless network interface card (NIC) through an antenna. Typically, an individual in-building wireless access point provides a maximum connectivity area with about a 500-foot radius. The wireless access point can support a maximum of 128 clients in a range of several hundred feet. The throughput is shared between all clients. Make sure that you install a sufficient number of wireless access points to meet the required coverage, throughput, and quality of your wireless network. The wireless access point acts as a bridge between the wired LAN and wireless clients. Connecting multiple wireless access points through a wired Ethernet backbone can further increase the wireless network coverage. As a mobile computing device moves out of the range of one wireless access point, it moves into the range of another. As a result, wireless clients can freely roam from one wireless access point to another and still maintain a seamless connection to the network. The autosensing capability of the wireless access point allows packet transmission at up to 450 Mbps, or at reduced speeds to compensate for distance or electromagnetic interference. Advanced wireless features that are supported on the wireless access point include a wireless intrusion detection system (IDS), wireless intrusion prevention system (IPS), configurable wireless QoS policies, and band steering. You can manage the wireless access point from either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, and the wireless access point can allocate either IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP addresses to its wireless clients.

Introduction 7 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 System Requirements Before installing the wireless access point, make sure that your system meets these requirements: • A 10/100/1000 Mbps local area network device such as a hub or switch • The Category 5 UTP straight-through Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector included in the package, or one like it • A 100–120V, 50–60 Hz AC power source • A computer with the TCP/IP protocol installed and a web browser for configuration, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 or later, or Mozilla 1.5 or later • An 802.11a/n- or 802.11b/g/n-compliant device, such as the NETGEAR N600 Wireless-N Dual Band USB Adapter (WNDA3100) Key Features and Standards • Supported Standards and Conventions • Key Features • 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n Standards–Based Wireless Networking • Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink The wireless access point is easy to use and provides solid wireless and networking support. It also offers a wide range of security options. Supported Standards and Conventions The wireless access point supports the following standards and conventions: • Standards compliance. The wireless access point complies with the IEEE 802.11a/b/g standards for wireless LANs and is Wi-Fi certified for 802.11n standard. • WPA and WPA2. The wireless access point provides WPA and WPA2 enterprise-class strong security with RADIUS and certificate authentication as well as dynamic encryption key generation. The WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK pre-shared key authentication does not have the overhead of RADIUS servers but provides the strong security of WPA. • Multiple BSSIDs. The wireless access point supports multiple BSSIDs. When a wireless access point is connected to a wired network and a set of wireless stations, it is called a basic service set (BSS). The basic service set identifier (BSSID) is a unique identifier attached to the header of packets sent over a WLAN that differentiates one WLAN from another when a mobile device tries to connect to the network. The multiple BSSID feature allows you to configure up to 16 SSIDs (8 per radio) on your wireless access point and assign different configuration settings to each SSID. All the configured SSIDs are active, and the network devices can connect to the wireless access point by using any of these SSIDs. Introduction 8 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 • DHCP server and client. The DHCP server of the wireless access point can provide a dynamic IPv4 or IPv6 address to wireless clients. The wireless access point can also act as a client and obtain an IPv4 or IPv6 address from a DHCP server on the LAN. • SNMP. The wireless access point supports Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) for Management Information Base (MIB) management. • STP and LLDP. The wireless access point supports Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) and Ethernet Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). LLDP is enabled by default. • 802.1Q VLAN. A network of computers can behave as if they are connected to the same network even though they might actually be physically on different segments of a LAN. Virtual LANs (VLANs) are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them very flexible. VLANs are very useful for user and host management, bandwidth allocation, and resource optimization. Key Features The wireless access point provides solid functionality, including the following features: • Dual band. The wireless access point can operate concurrently in the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands. • Band steering. Band steering can ensure that a dual-band wireless station operates in the 5 GHz band rather than in the 2.4 GHz band, which is often highly congested. Band steering can also move a wireless station that already operates in the 2.4 GHz band to the 5 GHz band. Band steering is an advanced wireless feature that reduces the client density in the 2.4 GHz band and increases the wireless network capacity. • IPv4 and IPv6. The wireless access point is manageable from either an IPv4 or IPv6 address, it can function as an IPv4 or IPv6 DHCP client, and its DHCP server can allocate either IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. • Multiple operating modes: • - Wireless access point. Operates as a standard 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n wireless access point. - Point-to-point bridge. In this mode, the wireless access point communicates only with another bridge-mode wireless station or wireless access point. Network authentication should be used to protect this communication. - Point-to-multipoint bridge. Select this option only if this wireless access point is the master for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. The other bridge-mode wireless stations send all traffic to this master and do not communicate directly with each other. Network authentication should be used to protect this traffic. - Repeater. In this mode, the wireless access point does not function as an access point for clients but functions only in point-to-multipoint bridge mode to repeat the wireless signal and send all traffic to a remote access point. Network authentication should be used to protect this communication. WMM. Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, like video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients also need to support WMM. Introduction 9 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 • QoS. Quality of Service (QoS) support lets you configure parameters that affect traffic flowing from the wireless access point to the client station and traffic flowing from the client station to the wireless access point: - The QoS settings let you prioritize traffic, such as voice and video traffic, so that packets do not get dropped. - The QoS policies let you configure classifications (match clauses) and apply traffic to eight priority queues based on IP precedence, DSCP, MAC address, IP address, and other information that might be present in Layer 2 and Layer 3 packet headers. • Wireless IDS/IPS. The wireless intrusion detection system (IDS) and intrusion prevention system (IPS) can detect and prevent a variety of wireless attacks. Attacks are covered by preconfigured policy rules. When an attack occurs, the wireless access point can notify a network administrator though an email. • Hotspot support. You can allow all HTTP (TCP, port 80) requests to be captured and redirected to the URL you specify. • Rogue AP and ad hoc network detection. Rogue AP filtering and ad hoc network detection ensure that unknown APs and networks are not given access to any part of the secured wireless and wired LAN. • Access control. MAC address filtering can ensure that only trusted wireless stations can use the wireless access point to gain access to the wireless and wired LAN. • Security profiles. When using multiple BSSIDs, you can configure unique security settings (encryption, SSID, and so on) for each BSSID. • Hidden mode. The SSID is not broadcast, assuring that only clients configured with the correct SSID can connect. • Secure Telnet command-line interface. The secure Telnet command-line interface (CLI) enables direct secure access over the serial port and easy scripting of configuration of multiple wireless access points across an extensive network through the Ethernet interface. A Secure Shell (SSH) client is required. • Upgradeable firmware. Firmware is stored in a flash memory. You can upgrade it easily, using only your web browser, and you can upgrade it remotely. You can also use the command-line interface. • Configuration backup. Configuration settings can be backed up to a file and restored. • Secure and economical operation. Adjustable power output allows more secure or economical operation. • PoE support. Using Power over Ethernet (PoE), any 802.3af-compliant midspan or end-span sources can supply power to the wireless access point over one or two Ethernet ports. The wireless access point can receive all required power on one Ethernet port from a single PoE source. However, with two Ethernet ports and two PoE sources, power redundancy ensures that if one Ethernet port is down, the other Ethernet port can still supply all power to the wireless access point for continued operation. • Autosensing Ethernet connection with Auto Uplink™ interface. Connects to 10/100/1000 Mbps IEEE 802.3 Ethernet networks. • LED indicators. Power/Test, Active, LAN, and WLAN for each radio mode are easily identified. Introduction 10 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 • VLAN security profiles. Each security profile is automatically allocated a VLAN ID when the security profile is modified. 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n Standards–Based Wireless Networking The wireless access point provides a bridge between wired Ethernet LANs and 802.11b/g/nand 802.11a/n-compatible wireless LAN networks. It provides connectivity between wired Ethernet networks and radio-equipped wireless notebook systems, desktop systems, print servers, and other devices. In addition, the wireless access point supports the following wireless features: • Aggregation support • Reduced InterFrame spacing support • 3 x 3 multiple input, multiple output (MIMO) support • Distributed coordinated function (CSMA/CA, back-off procedure, ACK procedure, retransmission of unacknowledged frames) • RTS/CTS handshake • Beacon generation • Packet fragmentation and reassembly • Auto or long preamble • Roaming among wireless access points on the same subnet Autosensing Ethernet Connections with Auto Uplink The wireless access point can connect to a standard Ethernet network. The LAN interface is autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The wireless access point incorporates Auto Uplink technology. The Ethernet port automatically senses whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a “normal” connection such as to a computer or an “uplink” connection such as to a switch or hub. That port then configures itself correctly. This feature also eliminates any concerns about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink accommodates either type of cable to make the right connection.

Installation and Basic Configuration 2 This chapter describes how to install and configure the wireless access point for wireless connectivity to your LAN. This basic configuration enables computers with 2.4 GHz 802.11b/g/n and 5 GHz 802.11a/n wireless adapters to connect to the Internet or access printers and files on your LAN. In planning your wireless network, consider the level of security required. Chapter 3, Wireless Configuration and Security, describes how to set up wireless security for your network. This chapter includes the following sections: • What You Need Before You Begin • Install and Configure the Wireless Access Point • Test Basic Wireless Connectivity • Mount the Wireless Access Point What You Need Before You Begin • Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines • Ethernet Cabling Requirements • LAN Configuration Requirements • Hardware Requirements for Computers on Your LAN • Operating Frequency (Channel) Guidelines • Requirements for Entering IP Addresses You need to consider the following guidelines and requirements before you can set up your wireless access point. See also System Requirements on page 8. Wireless Equipment Placement and Range Guidelines The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the location of the wireless access point. The latency, data throughput performance, and power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices. 17 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to connect wirelessly to the wireless access point. For complete performance specifications, see Appendix A, Supplemental Information. Note: Before you position and mount the wireless access point at its permanent position, first configure the wireless access point and test the computers on your LAN for wireless connectivity as explained in this chapter. For best results, place your wireless access point according to the following general guidelines: • Near the center of the area in which the wireless devices will operate. • In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected devices have line-of-sight access (even if through walls). • Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves ovens, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones. • Away from large metal surfaces or water. • Placing an external antenna in a vertical position provides best side-to-side coverage. Placing an external antenna in a horizontal position provides best up-and-down coverage. (An external antenna does not come standard with the wireless access point.) • If you are using multiple wireless access points, it is better if adjacent wireless access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent wireless access points is five channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11, or 1 and 11). The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer. Ethernet Cabling Requirements The wireless access point connects to your LAN using twisted-pair Category 5 Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connectors. LAN Configuration Requirements For the initial configuration of your wireless access point, you need to connect a computer to the wireless access point. Installation and Basic Configuration 18 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Hardware Requirements for Computers on Your LAN To connect to the wireless access point on your network, each computer needs to have an 802.11b/g/n or 802.11a/n wireless adapter installed. NETGEAR recommends using the wireless access point with computers that have the NETGEAR N600 Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter (WNDA3100) installed. Operating Frequency (Channel) Guidelines You do not need to change the operating frequency (channel) unless you notice interference problems or you place the wireless access point near another wireless access point. If you do change the operating frequency, observe the following guidelines: • Wireless access points use a fixed channel. You can select a channel that provides the least interference and best performance. In the United States and Canada, 11 channels are available. • If you use multiple wireless access points, it is better if adjacent wireless access points use different channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent wireless access points is 5 channels (for example, use channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11). • In infrastructure mode (which is the default mode for the wireless access point), wireless stations normally scan all channels, looking for a wireless access point. If more than one wireless access point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. This is possible only if the wireless access points use the same SSID. Requirements for Entering IP Addresses IPv4 The fourth octet of an IP address needs to be between 0 and 255 (both inclusive). This requirement applies to any IP address that you enter on a screen of the web management interface. IPv6 IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero or altogether omitted. The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address: • More than eight groups of hexadecimal quartets • More than four hexadecimal characters in a quartet • More than two colons in a row Installation and Basic Configuration 19 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Install and Configure the Wireless Access Point Install and configure your wireless access point in the order of the following sections: 1. Connect the Wireless Access Point to a Computer 2. Log In to the Wireless Access Point 3. Configure Basic General System Settings and Time Settings 4. Configure the IPv4 Settings 5. Configure the Optional DHCPv4 Server 6. Configure the Basic Wireless Settings Before installing the wireless access point, make sure that your Ethernet network functions. After you have connected the wireless access point to the Ethernet network, computers with 802.11b/g/n and 802.11a/n wireless adapters are able to communicate with the Ethernet network. For this to work correctly, verify that you have met all the system requirements, shown in System Requirements on page 8. Connect the Wireless Access Point to a Computer Tip: Before you place the wireless access point in an elevated position that is difficult to reach, first set up and test the wireless access point to verify wireless network connectivity. To set up the wireless access point: 1. Unpack the box and verify the contents. 2. Prepare a computer with an Ethernet adapter. If this computer is already part of your network, record its TCP/IP configuration settings. Configure the computer with a static IP address of 192.168.0.210 and 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask. 3.

The chapter includes the following sections: • Wireless Data Security Options • Security Profiles • Configure RADIUS Server Settings • Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address • Schedule the Wireless Radios to Be Turned Off • Configure Basic Wireless Quality of Service Before you set up wireless security and additional wireless features that are described in this chapter, connect the wireless access point, get the Internet connection working, and configure the 802.11b, 11bg, or 11ng wireless settings and the 802.11a or 11na wireless settings as described in Chapter 2, Installation and Basic Configuration. The wireless access point functions with an Ethernet LAN connection. Make sure that you have verified wireless connectivity before you set up wireless security and additional wireless features. WARNING: If you are configuring the wireless access point from a wireless computer and you change the wireless access point’s SSID, channel, or wireless security settings, you lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You then need to change the wireless settings of your computer to match the wireless access point’s new settings. Wireless Data Security Options Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of 300 feet. Typically, a wireless access point inside a building works best with devices within a 100-foot radius. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access your network. 42 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The wireless access point provides highly effective security features that are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. Figure 17. There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network: • Use multiple BSSIDs combined with VLANs. You can configure combinations of VLANS and BSSIDs (security profiles) with stronger or less restrictive access security according to your requirements. For example, visitors could be given wireless Internet access but be excluded from any access to your internal network. For information about how to configure BSSIDs, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48. • Restrict access based by MAC address. You can allow only trusted devices to connect so that unknown devices cannot wirelessly connect to the wireless access point. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. For information about how to restrict access by MAC address, see Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address on page 60. • Turn off the broadcast of the wireless network name (SSID). If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network discovery feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed. For information about how to turn off broadcast of the SSID, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48. • WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP shared key authentication and WEP data encryption block all but the most determined eavesdropper. This data encryption mode has been superseded by WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. For information about how to configure WEP, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure an Open System with WEP or Shared Key with WEP on page 53. • Legacy 802.1X. Legacy 802.1X uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication but no data encryption. For information about how to configure Legacy 802.1X, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure Legacy 802.1X on page 54. Wireless Configuration and Security 43 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 • WPA and WPA-PSK (TKIP). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides strong data security with Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA makes it virtually impossible to compromise. WPA uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55. WPA-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on page 56. • WPA2 and WPA2-PSK (AES). Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) data encryption provides strong data security with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) encryption. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per-frame rekeying of WPA2 makes it virtually impossible to compromise. WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55. WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on page 56. • WPA & WPA2 and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK mixed modes. These modes support data encryption either with both WPA and WPA2 clients or with both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK clients and provide the most reliable security. WPA & WPA2 uses RADIUS-based 802.1x authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA with RADIUS, WPA2 with RADIUS, and WPA & WPA2 with RADIUS on page 55. WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK uses a pre-shared key (PSK) for authentication; for more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48 and Configure WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK & WPA2-PSK on page 56. Security Profiles • Before You Change the SSID, WEP, and WPA Settings • Configure and Enable Security Profiles Security profiles let you configure unique security settings for each SSID on each radio of the wireless access point. For each radio, the wireless access point supports up to eight security profiles (BSSIDs) that you can configure on the individual Edit Wireless Network screens that are accessible from the Edit Security Profile screen (see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48). Wireless Configuration and Security 44 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 To set up a security profile, select its network authentication type, data encryption, wireless client security separation, and VLAN ID: • Network authentication The wireless access point is set by default as an open system with no authentication. When you configure network authentication, bear in mind that not all wireless adapters support WPA or WPA2. Windows XP, Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3, and Windows Vista do include the client software that supports WPA. However, client software is required on the client. Consult the product documentation for your wireless adapter and WPA or WPA2 client software for instructions about how to configure WPA2 settings. For information about the types of network authentication that the wireless access point supports, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48. • Data encryption Select the data encryption that you want to use. The available options depend on the network authentication setting described earlier (otherwise, the default is None). The data encryption settings are explained in Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48. • Wireless client security separation If this feature is enabled, the associated wireless clients (using the same SSID) are not able to communicate with each other. This feature is useful for hotspots and other public access situations. By default, wireless client separation is disabled. For more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48. • VLAN ID If this feature is enabled and if the network devices (hubs and switches) on your LAN support the VLAN (802.1Q) standard, the default VLAN ID for the wireless access point is associated with each profile. The default VLAN ID needs to match the IDs that are used by the other network devices. For more information, see Configure and Enable Security Profiles on page 48. Some concepts and guidelines regarding the SSID are explained in the following list: • A basic service set (BSS) is a group of wireless stations and a single wireless access point, all using the same security profile or service set identifier (BSSID). The actual identifier in the BSSID is the MAC address of the wireless radio. (A wireless radio can have multiple MAC addresses, one for each security profile.) • An extended service set (ESS) is a group of wireless stations and multiple wireless access points, all using the same identifier (ESSID). • Different wireless access points within an ESS can use different channels. To reduce interference, adjacent wireless access points should use different channels. • Roaming is the ability of wireless stations to connect wirelessly when they physically move from one BSS to another one within the same ESS. The wireless station automatically changes to the wireless access point with the least interference or best performance. Wireless Configuration and Security 45 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Before You Change the SSID, WEP, and WPA Settings For a new wireless network, print or copy the following forms and fill in the settings.

Configure Basic Wireless Quality of Service Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is a subset of the 802.11e standard. WMM allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities, depending on the type of data. Time-dependent information, such as video or audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients also need to support WMM. By enabling WMM, you allow Quality of Service (QoS) control for upstream traffic flowing from a wireless station to the wireless access point and for downstream traffic flowing from the wireless access point to a wireless station. Wireless Configuration and Security 62 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 WMM defines the following four queues in decreasing order of priority: • Voice. The highest priority queue with minimum delay, which makes it ideal for applications like VoIP and streaming media. • Video. The second highest priority queue with low delay is given to this queue. Video applications are routed to this queue. • Best Effort. The medium priority queue with medium delay is given to this queue. Most standard IP applications use this queue. • Background. Low priority queue with high throughput. Applications, such as FTP, that are not time-sensitive but require high throughput can use this queue. The WMM Powersave feature saves power for battery-powered equipment by increasing the efficiency and flexibility of data transmission. Note: For information about how to configure advanced wireless QoS, that is, to configure specific Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) settings, see Configure Advanced Quality of Service Settings on page 111.

Configure Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention • Configure Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Policy Settings • Configure Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Mail Settings • Monitor Traps, Counters, and Ad Hoc Networks Configure Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Policy Settings The wireless access point provides a wireless intrusion detection system (WIDS) and wireless intrusion prevention system (WIPS) to detect and mitigate wireless attacks. These intrusion systems are referred to as IDS/IPS. If enabled, the IDS recognizes multiple types of wireless attacks, and the IPS automatically neutralizes many attacks. Attacks are covered by preconfigured policy rules. When an attack occurs, the wireless access point can notify a network administrator though an email. The following table lists all IDS/IPS policies with their policy rules. Most of these policies provide protection against denial of service (DoS) attacks. You can enable or disable IDS/IPS policies, but both the policies and the policy rules are not configurable. All thresholds are measured over a short period. For the IDS/IPS to send a notification according to the policy rule, you first need to configure the email settings (see Configure Wireless Intrusion Detection and Prevention Mail Settings on page 95).

Configure Spanning Tree Protocol, 802.1Q VLAN, and Link Layer Discovery Protocol • Configure STP and VLANs • Configure Ethernet LLDP As part of the advanced system configuration, you can enable the Spanning Tree Protocol (STP), configure the VLANs, and enable Ethernet Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP). Configure STP and VLANs STP provides network traffic optimization in locations where multiple wireless access points are active by preventing path redundancy. NETGEAR recommends that you enable STP if you have more than one active wireless access point at your location. The 802.1Q VLAN protocol on the wireless access point logically separates traffic on the same physical network: • Untagged VLAN. When the wireless access point sends frames that are associated with the untagged VLAN from its Ethernet interface, those frames are untagged. When the wireless access point receives untagged frames over its Ethernet interface, those frames are assigned to the untagged VLAN. Advanced Configuration 103 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Note: Select the Untagged VLAN check box only if the hubs and switches on your LAN support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol. Likewise, change the untagged VLAN value only if the hubs and switches on your LAN support the 802.1Q VLAN protocol. • Tagged VLAN. When you clear the Untagged VLAN check box, the wireless access point tags all frames that are sent from its Ethernet interface. Only incoming frames that are tagged with known VLAN IDs are accepted. • Management VLAN. The management VLAN can be active only when the wireless access point functions as a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint bridge (see Configure Wireless Bridging on page 119). The management VLAN is used for managing traffic (Telnet, SNMP, and HTTP) to and from the wireless access point. Frames belonging to the management VLAN are not given any 802.1Q header when they are sent over the trunk. If a port is in a single VLAN, it can be untagged. However, if the port is a member of multiple VLANs, it needs to be tagged. To configure STP and VLANs: 1. Select Configuring > System > Advanced > General. The advanced General system settings screen displays: Figure 61. Advanced Configuration 104 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 2.

By default, the Untagged VLAN check box is selected. Specify a VLAN ID. The default VLAN ID is 1. Management VLAN Specify an ID for the VLAN from which the wireless access point can be managed. The default VLAN ID is 1. Note: If you configure the management VLAN ID as 0 (zero), the wireless access point can be managed over any VLAN, and frames that belong to the management VLAN are not tagged with an 802.1Q header when sent over the trunk. WARNING: Selecting the Untagged VLAN check box or changing the untagged VLAN value causes loss of IP connectivity if the hubs and switches on your LAN have not yet been configured with the corresponding VLAN. 3. Click Apply to save your settings. Configure Ethernet LLDP Link Layer Discovery Protocol (LLDP), IEEE 802.1ab, is a management tool that delivers link-layer messages to adjacent network devices. For example, LLDP messages enable networking devices such as switches and management tools to discover the wireless access point in the network, and might indicate whether the wireless access point receives power through a PoE connection. LLDP is intervendor compatible. By default, LLDP is enabled on the wireless access point. To turn off LLDP: 1. Select Configuring > System > Advanced > Ethernet LLDP.

Advanced wireless settings Setting Description RTS Threshold (0–2347) Enter the Request to Send (RTS) threshold. The default setting is 2347. If the packet size is equal to or less than the RTS threshold, the wireless access point uses the Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD) mechanism, and the data frame is transmitted immediately after the silence period. If the packet size is larger than the RTS threshold, the wireless access point uses the CSMA with Collision Avoidance (CSMA/CA) mechanism. In this situation, the transmitting station sends an RTS packet to the receiving station and waits for the receiving station to return a Clear to Send (CTS) packet before sending the actual packet data.

Advanced Configuration 110 ProSafe Premium 3 x 3 Dual-Band Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP660 Configure Advanced Quality of Service Settings For most networks, the default Quality of Service (QoS) queue settings work well. For information about how to configure basic QoS, see Configure Basic Wireless Quality of Service on page 62. You can specify the settings on multiple queues for increased throughput and better performance of differentiated wireless traffic such as Voice-over-IP (VoIP), other types of audio, video, and streaming media, as well as traditional IP data. The advanced QoS options on the wireless access point are as follows: • AP EDCA parameters. Specify the access point (AP) Enhanced Distributed Channel Access (EDCA) settings for different types of data transmitted from the wireless access point to wireless clients. • Station EDCA parameters. Specify the station EDCA parameters for different types of data transmitted from the wireless clients to the wireless access point. If WMM is disabled, you cannot configure the Station EDCA parameters. (For information about how to enable WMM, see Configure Basic Wireless Quality of Service on page 62.) When you configure the EDCA settings, the wireless access point can leverage existing information in the IP packet header that is related to the Type of Service (ToS). The wireless access point examines the ToS field in the headers of all packets that it processes. Based on the value in a packet’s ToS field, the wireless access point prioritizes the packet for transmission by assigning it to one of the queues. A different type of data is associated with each queue. You can configure how the wireless access point treats each queue. The queues defined for different types of data transmitted from AP-to-station and station-to-AP are: • Data 0 (Best Effort). Medium priority queue, medium throughput and delay. Most traditional IP data is sent to this queue. • Data 1 (Background). Lowest priority queue, high throughput. Bulk data that requires maximum throughput and is not time-sensitive is sent to this queue (FTP data, for example). • Data 2 (Video). Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive video data is automatically sent to this queue. • Data 3 (Voice). Highest priority queue, minimum delay. Time-sensitive data such as VoIP and streaming media are automatically sent to this queue. To configure advanced QoS: 1. Select Configuration > Wireless > Advanced > QoS Settings.

You can select from the following wireless access point modes: • Wireless point-to-point bridge. In this mode, the wireless access point can communicate with another bridge-mode wireless station and, as an option, also with wireless clients. Use WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK to secure the communication. For information about how to configure this mode, see Configure a Point-to-Point Wireless Network on page 119. • Wireless point-to-multipoint bridge. In this mode, the wireless access point is the master for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. As an option, the wireless access point can also communicate with wireless clients. You can configure up to four profiles. The other bridge-mode wireless stations need to be set to point-to-point bridge mode, using the MAC address of the master wireless access point. Rather than communicating directly with each other, all other bridge-mode wireless stations send their traffic to the master wireless access point. Use WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK to secure the communication. For information about how to configure this mode, see Configure a Point-to-Multipoint Wireless Network on page 123. • Repeating the wireless signal. In this mode, this wireless access point repeats the wireless signal, does not support communication with wireless clients, and sends all traffic to a remote access point. In this mode, wireless clients cannot associate with the wireless access point. Use WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK to secure the communication. For information about how to configure this mode, see Configure the Wireless Access Point to Repeat the Wireless Signal Using Point-to-Multipoint Bridge Mode on page 127. Note: You cannot configure wireless bridging when automatic channel selection is enabled. On the basic Wireless Settings screen, make sure that Auto is not selected from the Channel / Frequency drop-down list (see Configure the Basic Wireless Settings on page 28). Configure a Point-to-Point Wireless Network In point-to-point bridge mode, the wireless access point communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station.
