DRG600 WiFi Features
The DRG600-WiFi incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions
while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
•
Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the DRG600WiFi, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external
sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation)
•
Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet connection, the DRG600-WiFi supports both Dynamic IP
Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address.
•
PPPoE support. Connecting to the Internet using Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is also
supported.

DRG600WiFi User Guide
Introduction
Advanced Internet Functions
•
Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required
setup is quick and easy.
•
DDNS Support. DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows Internet users to connect to Virtual
Servers on your LAN using a domain name, even if your IP address is not fixed.
•
DMZ. One (1) PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with
Servers or individual users on the Internet. This provides the ability to run programs which are incompatible with Firewalls.
•
URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
•
Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have been made.
•
Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to different groups, and
determine which Internet services are available to each group.
•
VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual Private Networking) software using PPTP, L2TP and
IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required.
Wireless Features
•
•
Standards Compliant. The DRG600-WiFi complies with the IEEE802.11 b/g specifications for Wireless
LANs.
Supports both 802.11b and 802. 11g Wireless Stations. The 802.11g standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used
simultaneously.
•
Speeds up to 54Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported.
•
WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit
are supported.
•
WPA support. Support for WPA is included. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should be used if
possible.
•
WPA2 support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely secure AES encryption
method.
•
Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware
address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN.
•
Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily.
•
WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any compatible device
to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or
entering a 8-digit PIN code.
LAN Features
•
2-Port Fast ethernet switch. The DRG600-WiFi incorporates a 2-port 10/100BaseT fast ethernet switch,
making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
•
DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and
other devices upon request. The DRG600-WiFi can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local
Page 11 of 104
DRG600WiFi User Guide
•
Introduction
LAN and WLAN.
Multi Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or more segments are supported, via the DRG600WiFi's RIP (Routing Information Protocol) support and built-in static routing table.
Configuration & Management
•
Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration (if
permitted by service provider).
•
Network Diagnostics. You can use the DRG600-WiFi to perform a Ping or DNS lookup.
•
UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and configuration of the NAT
service on DRG600-WiFi. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
•
Password - protected Configuration. Optional password protection is provided to prevent unauthorized
users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
•
Wireless LAN Security. WEP, WPA and WPA2 data encryption protocols are supported, as well as wireless
access control, to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
•
NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by
allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is
hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the DRG600-WiFi.
•
Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are
filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
•
Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection
with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth and so many resources that
Internet access becomes unavailable. The DRG600-WiFi incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

If the DRG600-WiFi does not respond, check the following:
•
The DRG600-WiFi is properly attached,WLAN/LAN and Power LEDs are ON.
•
You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command. To do this:
1. Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
2. Enter the command: ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your PC IP address is not compatible
with the DRG600-WiFi IP Address. (See next item.)
3. If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range 192.168.0.2 to
192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the DRG600-WiFi default IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the
Network Mask must be set to 255.255.255.0. See PC Configuration on page 40 for details on checking
your PC TCP/IP settings.
•
Ensure that your PC and the DRG600-WiFi are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router,
this must be the case.)
•
Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface.

TCP/IP
IP Address
IP address for the DRG600-WiFi, as seen from the local LAN. Use the default value
unless the address is already in use or your LAN is using a different IP address range. In
the latter case, enter an unused IP Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet mask
The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C") networks. For other
networks, use the Network Mask for the LAN segment to which the DRG600-WiFi is
attached. i.e. the same value as the PCs on that LAN segment.
If Enabled, the DRG600-WiFi will allocate IP Addresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your
LAN when they start up. The default (and recommended) value is Enabled.
DHCP Server
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be Disabled, and the existing
DHCP server must be re-configured to treat the DRG600-WiFi as the default Gateway.
See the following section for further details.
The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fields set the values used by the DHCP
server when allocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the
number of DHCP clients supported.

DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a DHCP Client (PC or
device) upon request.
The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as allocating an IP Address.
The DRG600-WiFi can act as a DHCP server.
Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP client. This is the default
Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address
automatically instead of "DHCP Client".
You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your LAN does not have
other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.)
Using the DRG600WiFi DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen, you can:
Enable or Disable the DRG600-WiFi's DHCP Server function.
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while using DHCP, provided that the
Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP Server, rather than
the DRG600-WiFi's, the following procedure is required.
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the DRG600-WiFi. This setting is on the LAN screen.
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the DRG600-WiFi's IP Address as the Default Gateway.
3. Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
•
TCP/IP network settings
•
•
Internet Access configuration
Wireless configuration
•
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the DRG600-WiFi.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The DRG600-WiFi uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP
protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings  Overview
If using the default DRG600-WiFi settings, and the default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be
made.
By default, the DRG600-WiFi will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and
related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required.
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the DRG600-WiFi
The DNS should be set to the IP address of the DRG600-WiFi and/or the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must reconfigure the Router itself. Refer to
theAdvanced Setup chapter for details.

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect
to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may
change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
The Service works as follows:
1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service Providers.
2. After registration, follow the service provider's procedure to request a Domain Name and have it
allocated to you.
3. Enter your DDNS data on the DRG600-WiFi's DDNS screen.
4. The DRG600-WiFi will then automatically ensure that your current IP Address is recorded at the DDNS
server.
5. If the DDNS Service provides software to perform this "IP address update"; you should disable the
"Update" function, or not use the software at all.
6. From the Internet, users will be able to connect to your Virtual Servers (or DMZ PC) using your Domain
Name.

If you have more than one domain name, enter the name you wish to use. This device
supports one name only.
DDNS Status
This message is returned by the DDNS Server.
Normally, this message should be something like "Update successful" (current IP address
was updated on the DDNS server).
If the message is "No host", this indicates the host name entered
was not allocated to you. If you see this, or some other error message, you need to
contact the DDNS Service and correct the problem.

DMZ
This screen allows you to configure the LAN PCs as a “DMZ”. The DMZ PC will receive the same IP address
as the WAN.
Figure 35. DDNS Screen Data - Dynamic DNS Screen
A DMZ allows a single computer on your LAN to expose ALL of its ports to the Internet. When doing this, the
exposed computer is no longer ‘behind’ the firewall.
The "DMZ" PC will receive all "Unknown" connections and data. This feature is normally used with applications
which do not usually work when behind a Firewall.
Note that the DMZ PC is effectively outside the Firewall, making it more vulnerable to attacks. For this reason,
you should only enable the DMZ feature when required.
Enable WAN IP
address
DMZ uses the default WAN IP address so no input is required. If known, the current
WAN IP address is displayed. If you are using a dynamic IP address and there is no
Internet connection, the WAN IP address is unknown.
PC
For each DMZ, you must select a PC from the list. If the DMZ PC uses a fixed IP
address and is not in the list, you can add it using the “PC Database” option in the LAN
screen.

Virtual Servers
This feature, sometimes called Port Forwarding, allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet
users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because:
Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address.
Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device.
The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as
illustrated below.
Figure 36. Virtual Servers
Note that, in this illustration, both Internet users are connecting to the same IP Address, but using different
protocols.
To Internet users, all virtual Servers on your LAN have the same IP Address. This IP Address is allocated by
your ISP.
This address should be static, rather than dynamic, to make it easier for Internet users to connect to your Servers.
However, you can use the DDNS (Dynamic DNS) feature to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a
URL, instead of an IP Address.

Connecting to the Virtual Servers
Once configured, anyone on the Internet can connect to your Virtual Servers. They must use the Internet IP
Address (the IP Address allocated to you by your ISP) e.g.
http://203.70.212.52
ftp://203.70.212.52
It is more convenient if you are using a Fixed IP Address from your ISP, rather than Dynamic. However, you
can use the Dynamic DNS feature, described on page 68, to allow users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a
URL, rather than an IP Address.

Identification
Normally, there is no need to change the default name, but if your ISP requests that you use a particular
Hostname, enter it here.
If your ISP provided a Domain Name, enter it here. Otherwise, this may be left blank.
The WAN Port MAC address is a low-level identifier, as seen from the WAN port. Normally there is no need to
change this, but some ISPs require a particular value, often that of the PC initially used for Internet access.
You can use the Copy from PC button to copy your PC's address into this field, the Default button to insert the

Routing
•
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing" page
completely.
•
If the DRG600-WiFi is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the "Routing" page
even if your LAN has other Routers.
•
If your LAN has a standard Router on your LAN, and the DRG600-WiFi is to act as a Gateway for all
LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and ignore the Static Routing table.
•
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN segments use each
Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol). Configure the Static Routing table
instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
•
If you are using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, you must enable RIP on the
Wireless Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
o Open Routing and Remote Access
o In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing, RIP
o In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version 2, and then

will be used. The default value is 2.
Generate Report
This button generates a list of all the entries in the routing table.
Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the DRG600-WiFi, so that they
can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to
use the DRG600-WiFi as the Default Route or Default Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the DRG600-WiFi. This router requires that
the Default Route is the DRG600-WiFi itself. Typically, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should
be configured as follows.
Destination IP Address
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Network Mask
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.
Gateway IP Address
The IP Address of the DRG600-WiFi.

Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the DRG600-WiFi's Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will
be the same as the DRG600-WiFi's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address.
For a router with a direct connection to the DRG600-WiFi's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of
the DRG600-WiFi's local router.
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the DRG600-WiFi's local router, the
Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.

Note:
Enable DoS
Firewall
A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs, but overloads your Internet
connection so you can not use it - the service is unavailable.
This device uses "Stateful Inspection" technology. This system can detect situations where
individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but collectively they become a DoS attack.
This setting affects the number of "half-open" connections allowed.
A "half-open" connection arises when a remote client contacts the Server with a connection
request, but then does not reply to the Server response.
Threshold
Threshold is the optimum number of "half-open" connections allowed and it depends on
many factors. The most important factor is the available bandwidth of your Internet
connection.
Select the setting to match the bandwidth of your Internet connection.

Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting
This chapter covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the DRG600-WiFi and some
possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the DRG600-WiFi still does not function
properly, contact your dealer for further advice.
General Problems
Problem:
Can't connect to the DRG600-WiFi to configure it.
Solution:
Check the following:
•
•
The DRG600-WiFi is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the DRG600-WiFi are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a
router, this must be the case.)
•
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client), restart it.
•
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address within the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compatible with the DRG600-WiFi's default IP Address of
192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the DRG600-WiFi.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel, Network to check the Properties for the
TCP/IP protocol.
Internet Access
Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
Solution 1:
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps:
•
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static)
IP Address, check the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.
•
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the DRG600-WiFi. Ensure that it is
connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and
power connections.)
•
If the DRG600-WiFi is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to
see that it is working correctly.
Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the DRG600-WiFi.
Solution 2: The DRG600-WiFi processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.
Use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application.
Page 96 of 104
DRG600WiFi User Guide
Troubleshooting
This should work with almost every application, but it is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
Wireless Access
Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
Solution 1:
Check the following:
•
Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode)
•
The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is casesensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup".
•
Both your PC and the DRG600-WiFi must have the same setting for wireless security. The default setting
for the DRG600-WiFi is WPA-PSK, so your wireless station should also have WPA-PSK enabled, and
the key must match.
•
If the DRG600-WiFi's Wireless screen is set to Allow Wireless Access by Wireless Stations only, then each of your
Wireless stations must have been selected, or access will be blocked.
•
To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible when close to the DRG600WiFi.
•
Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 2: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the
environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following:
•
DRG600-WiFi location:
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the DRG600-WiFi.
•
Wireless Channel:
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.
Radio Interference:
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices Off, and see if
this helps. Any "noisy" devices should be shielded or relocated.
•
•
RF Shielding:
Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access
speed is only possible when close to the DRG600-WiFi.

About Wireless LANs
This chapter provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs).
Modes
Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes:
•
Ad-hoc
•
Infrastructure
Adhoc Mode
Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs
with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other.
Infrastructure Mode
In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g. Notebook PCs
with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations can then access all LAN resources.
Access Points can only function in "Infrastructure" mode, and can communicate only with
Wireless Stations which are set to "Infrastructure" mode.
BSS/ESS
BSS
A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set
(BSS).
Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other.
ESS
A group of Wireless Stations, and multiple Access Points, all using the same ID (ESSID), form an Extended
Service Set (ESS).
Different Access Points within an ESS can use different Channels. In fact, to reduce interference, it is
recommended that adjacent Access Points SHOULD use different channels.
As Wireless Stations are physically moved through the area covered by an ESS, they will automatically change to the
Access Point which has the least interference or best performance. This capability is called Roaming. (Access
Page 98 of 104
Points do not have or require Roaming capabilities.)
Channels
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which
provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using
multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than
one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)
If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However,
most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.
This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by
your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it.
If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following:
WEP
Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit
Key
For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match. For 128 Bit encryption,
the Key value must match
WEP Authentication
Open System or Shared Key.
Page 99 of 104
WPAPSK
WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later standard than WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key
which is automatically generated and changed often.
If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP.
If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the
following:
WPA PSK (Preshared Key)
Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The PSK must be from 8 to
63 characters in length. The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is
derived from this key.
Encryption
The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption
method is TKIP. Another widely-supported method is AES.
WPA2PSK
This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES (Advanced Encryption System)
for protecting data. AES is very secure, considered to be unbreakable. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered
on each Wireless station.
If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the
following:
WPA2 PSK (Preshared Key)
Enter the same value on every station and the AP. The PSK must be from 8 to
63 characters in length. The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is
Encryption
The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption
method is AES.
Page 100 of 104
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same
settings, as follows:
Mode
On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure". (The Access Point is always in
"Infrastructure" mode.)
Most Wireless stations will set the correct mode automatically.
SSID (ESSID)
Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to.
Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.
Security
The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings for Wireless security.
(Off, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK).
WEP If WEP is used, the Key size (64Bit, 128Bit), Key value, and Authentication settings must be the same on
the Wireless Stations and the Access Point.
WPA-PSK: If WPA is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPA-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared
Key and encryption system.
WPA2-PSK: If WPA2 is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPA2-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared
Key and encryption system.
WPA-PSK +WPA2-PSK: If WPA-PSK +WPA2-PSK is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPAPSK +WPA2-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared Key and encryption system.
For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all Wireless stations must use the same security settings.
