11g Wireless Multi-Client Bridge/Bridge Router/AP/WDS Version 1.36 40 5.4.1 Basic Settings § Click on the Basic Settings link under the Wireless menu. Using this option you may configure the 802.11b/g settings as well as the frequency, channel, and SSID. § Band: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. Options available are 2.4GHz (B), 2.4GHz (G), or 2.4GHz (B+G). Select the appropriate mode based on the type of wireless network. For example, if you are sure that the wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it is recommended to select 2.4GHz (G) instead of 2.4GHz (B+G) which will reduce the performance of the wireless network. § SSID: The SSID is a unique named shared amongst all the points of the wireless network. The SSID must be identical on all points of the wireless network and cannot exceed 32 characters. § Channel: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available are based on the country’s regulation. When selecting Infrastructure mode, a channel is not required, however, when selecting Adhoc mode, you must select the same channel on all points. § Show Active Clients: Click on this button to view a list of associated clients. § Click on the Apply Changes button to confirm the changes. This device will automatically restart once these changes have been applied. 5.4.2 Advanced Settings § Click on the Advanced Settings link under the Wireless menu. On this page you can configure the advanced settings to tweak the performance of your wireless network. Options available are: fragmentation threshold, RTS threshold, beacon interval, output power, preamble type, broadcast SSID, IAPP, and 802.11g protection.
11g Wireless Multi-Client Bridge/Bridge Router/AP/WDS Version 1.36 41 § Authentication Type: select an authentication method. Options available are Open System, Shared Key or Auto. An open system allows any client to authenticate as long as it conforms to any MAC address filter policies that may have been set. All authentication packets are transmitted without encryption. Shared Key sends an unencrypted challenge text string to any device attempting to communicate with the AP. The device requesting authentication encrypts the challenge text and sends it back to the access point. If the challenge text is encrypted correctly, the access point allows the requesting device to authenticate. It is recommended to select Auto if you are not sure which authentication type is used. § Fragment Threshold: Packets over the specified size will be fragmented in order to improve performance on noisy networks. § RTS Threshold: Packets over the specified size will use the RTS/CTS mechanism to maintain performance in noisy networks and preventing hidden nodes from degrading the performance. § Beacon Interval: Beacons will be sent out to devices at the specified intervals. This value is measured in milliseconds (ms). § Data Rate: If you would like to force a data rate, you may select one from the drop-down list. However, for best performance it is recommended to use the Auto setting. § Preamble Type: For best performance, all devices on the wireless network should use the same preamble type. However, the wireless network will still function even though the wrong preamble type is used. § Broadcast SSID: This is a security feature that is enabled by default. This allows clients on the wireless network to run a site survey and detect this Access Point. Select Disabled if you do not want this Access Point detected in a site survey. § IAPP: It is recommended to Enable the Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) if you would like the clients on the wireless network to seamlessly roam between Access Points of the same SSID.
11g Wireless Multi-Client Bridge/Bridge Router/AP/WDS Version 1.36 42 § 802.11g Protection: If your wireless network is using both 802.11b and 802.g devices then it is recommended to enable this feature so that the 802.11b devices will not degrade the performance of 802.11g devices. § User Isolation: Click “Enabled” to stop packet transmission between Wireless Clients. § Turbo Mode: Select “Enable” to activate the Turbo mode for better performance. The Default is disabled. § Click on the Apply Changes button to confirm the changes. This device will automatically restart once these changes have been applied. 5.4.3 Security § Click on the Security link under the Wireless menu. On this page you can configure the authentication and encryption settings such as WEP, WPA, and 802.1x. 5.4.3.1 Encryption Disabled § Encryption: Select None from the drop-down list if your wireless network does not use any type of encryption. § Click on the Apply Changes button to confirm the changes. This device will automatically restart once these changes have been applied.
11g Wireless Multi-Client Bridge/Bridge Router/AP/WDS Version 1.36 43 5.4.3.2 WEP 64-bit / 128-bit § Encryption: Select WEP from the drop-down list if your wireless network uses WEP encryption. WEP is an acronym for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and is a security protocol that provides the same level of security for wireless networks as for a wired network. § Set WEP Key: Click on this button to configure the WEP Key.
11g Wireless Multi-Client Bridge/Bridge Router/AP/WDS Version 1.36 44 § Key Length: Select a 64-bit or 128-bit from the drop-down list. § Key Format: Select a key format from the drop-down list. 64bit-hex keys require 10 characters, where as 128-bit keys require 26 characters. A hex key is defined as a number between 0 through 9 and letter between A through F. § Default Tx Key: You may use up to four different keys for four different networks. Select the current key that will be used. § Encryption Key 1-4: You may enter four different WEP keys. § Click on the Apply Changes button to confirm the changes and then click on the Close button to return to the pervious window. 5.4.3.3 WPA / WPA2 / WPA2 Mixed Passphrase § Encryption: Select WPA, WPA2 or WPA2_Mixed from the drop-down list if your wireless network uses this encryption. WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) was designed to improve upon the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). The technology is designed to work with existing Wi-Fi products that have been enabled with WEP. WPA provides improved data encryption through the Temporal Integrity Protocol (TKIP), which scrambles the keys using a hashing algorithm and by adding an integrity checking feature which makes sure that keys haven’t been tampered with. § WPA Authentication Mode: Select the Personal (Pre-Shared Key) radio button. § WPA/WPA2: Select TKIP, AES or both as the cipher suite. § Pre-Shared Key Format: Select Passphrase from the drop-down list. § Pre-Shared Key: Enter the pass phrase; this should be between 8 and 63 characters.
