4.1 Basic Settings
Here you can configure the basic wireless settings of the device such as the SSID (name
of the network) and security.
Basic information
SSID: Select the SSID you wish to use. This is the public name of your wireless network.
Two SSIDs are supported.
Enable: Select whether to enable the selected SSID.
Broadcast SSID: This option allows you to have your network names (SSIDs) publicly
broadcast or if you choose to disable it, the SSIDs will be hidden. To join your hidden
wireless network, you must enter the SSID manually.
AP Isolation: Isolates clients connecting to this SSID.
Maximum Clients: Set the number of wireless clients that can join your wireless network.
When the number of wireless clients reaches the set value, new connections to this SSID
will be denied.
SSID: This field is configurable. You can change the current SSID.
Security Mode: Configure security settings for the current SSID. This device supports
WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed, WPA and WPA2 (To learn more,
15
read the following).
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): WEP is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless
networks. Introduced as part of the original 802.11 standard, its intention was to provide
data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Wireless speed can
reach up to 54Mbps if WEP is used.
Open, Shared and 802.1x are the same in encryption progression yet different in
authentication mode.
Open: Uses "no authentication" + WEP Encryption. Wireless clients can be associated
with the device without going through authentication. Only data in transmission is
encrypted with WEP encryption.
Shared: Uses shared key authentication + WEP Encryption. A WEP key that is mutually
agreed in advance is required from both sides while wireless clients try to associate with
the device. Association is established only if the two sides provide the same WEP key.
802.1x: Adopts802.1x identity authentication + WEP encryption mode. The supplicant (i.e.,
client device) is not allowed to access through the authenticator to the protected side of
16
the network until the supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized. If
authentication is successful, the authenticator sets the port to the "authorized" state and
normal traffic is allowed, if it is unsuccessful the port remains in the "unauthorized" state
and blocks traffic.
Default Key: Specify a WEP key from the preset keys for current use. For example, if you
select Key 2, wireless clients must join your wireless network using this Key 2.
WEP-802.1x Configuration Procedures:
SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. Select the SSID you wish to
configure from the drop-down list.
Security Mode: Select WEP.
Encryption Mode: Select 802.1X.
Radius Server: Enter the IP address of Radius server on your LAN.
Radius Port: Enter the Authentication port for the Radius server on your LAN.
Radius Key: Enter the Authentication key for the Radius server.
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK
WPA: The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It
enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a
17
128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet.
WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being
tampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless network. WPA
adopts enhanced encryption algorithm over WEP.
WPA2: WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead
of TKIP. It is more secure than WPA and WEP.
Security Mode: Supports WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed.
WPA-PSK: Supports AES and TKIP cipher types.
WPA2-PSK: Supports AES, TKIP and TKIP+AES cipher types.
WPA/WPA2-PSK mixed: If selected, both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK secured wireless
clients can join your wireless network.
Cipher Type: Includes AES, TKIP and TKIP&AES.
AES: If selected, wireless speed can reach up to 300Mbps.
TKIP: If selected, wireless speed can reach up to 54Mbps.
TKIP+AES: If selected, both AES and TKIP secured wireless clients can join your wireless
network.
Key Update Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed.
18
Configuration Procedures:
1) SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. Select the SSID you wish to
configure from the drop-down list.
2) Security Mode: Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed.
3) Cipher Type: Select the cipher type you wish to use.
4) Key: Enter a security key.
WPA, WPA2
The Wi-Fi Alliance defined the WPA/WPA2 in response to weaknesses found in WPA-PSK
or WPA2-PSK in key management. It uses 802.1x to authenticate users and generate a
root key for encrypting data instead of using a manually set pre-shared key.
With 802.1X authentication, the supplicant provides credentials, such as user
name/password or digital certificate, to the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards
the credentials to the authentication server for verification. If the authentication server
determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client device) is allowed to access
resources located on the protected side of the network. Data transmission over the
wireless network is encrypted with dynamic keys assigned by the Radius server, which
greatly enhances security. WPA/WPA2 becomes the most preferred security mode with its
offered better security.
19
Configuration Procedures:
1) SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. Select the SSID you wish to
configure from the drop-down list.
2) Security Mode: Select WPA or WPA2.
3) RADIUS Server: Enter the IP address of Radius server on your LAN.
4) RADIUS Port: Enter the Authentication port for the Radius server on your LAN.
5) RADIUS Key: Enter the Authentication key for the Radius server.
6) Cipher Type: Select the cipher type you wish to use.
4.2 Radio
Click Wireless -> Radio to enter the configuration screen. Here you can configure basic
wireless settings including network mode, channel and etc.
20
Enable Wireless: Enable or disable the wireless feature.
Network Mode: Select a correct mode according to your wireless clients. The default is

11b: This network mode delivers wireless speed up to 11Mbps and is only compatible with
11b wireless clients.
11g: This network mode delivers wireless speed up to 54Mbps and is only compatible with
11g wireless clients.
11b/g: This network mode delivers wireless speed up to 54Mbps and is compatible with
11b and 11g wireless clients.
11b/g/n mixed: This network mode delivers wireless speed up to 300Mbps and is
compatible with 11b/g/n wireless clients.
Channel: Select a channel or select Auto to let system automatically select one for your
wireless network to operate on if you are unsure. The best selection is a channel that is
the least used by neighboring networks.
Channel Bandwidth: Select a proper channel bandwidth to enhance wireless
performance. This option is available only in 802.11b/g/n. Wireless speed in the channel
bandwidth of 20/40 is 2 times in 20.
21
Extension Channel: This is used to ensure N speeds for 802.11n devices on the network.
This option is available in 11b/g/n mixed mode with channel bandwidth of 20/40.
WMM-Capable: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enabling this option may better
stream wireless multimedia data (such as video or audio).
ASPD Capable: Auto power saving mode. This option is effective only if WMM is enabled.
It is advisable to keep it disabled.
4.3 Advanced Settings
Here you can configure the advanced wireless settings including AP Isolation, Beacon
interval, Fragment threshold, RTS threshold and DTIM interval, etc, for your wireless
networks. Normally, the default settings will work. If not, change them according to the
suggestions given by your ISP or our technical staff. Click Wireless -> Advanced to enter
the configuration interface.
Note
Only change the default settings if instructed by your ISP or our technical staff. Wrong
configurations may degrade your wireless performance.
Beacon Interval: A time interval between any two consecutive Beacon packets sent by an
Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. The valid value range is between
22
20~999.
Fragment Threshold: Specify a Fragment Threshold value. Any wireless packet
exceeding the preset value will be divided into several fragments before transmission. The
valid value range is between 256~2346.
RTS Threshold: If a packet exceeds the set value, RTS/CTS scheme will be used to
reduce collisions. Set it to a smaller value provided that there are distant clients and
interference. For normal SOHO, it is recommended to keep the default value unchanged;
otherwise, device performance may be degraded. The valid value range is between
1~2347.
DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a countdown
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
When such packets arrive in the router’s buffer, the router will send DTIM (delivery traffic
indication message) and DTIM interval to alert clients of the receiving packets.
Wireless LED: Select to turn on or off the wireless LED.
Preamble: There are two types of preambles: long preamble and short preamble. The
preamble signals to the receiving node that data is incoming and indicates when the data
flow is about to begin. For wireless transmission, the longer the preamble is, the less the
data is. So support of a short preamble can boost the transmission efficiency of a wireless
interface. Support of short preamble is optional for 802.11b yet a must for 802.11g.
4.4 Access Control
