4 1 Quick StartThis chapter introduces how to build a wireless network using the EAPs and how to complete the basic settings. Follow the steps below:1. Determine the Management Method2. Build the Network Topology3. Log In to the EAP4. Edit the SSID5. Configure and Manage the EAP
51.1 Determine the Management MethodBefore building the wireless network, choose a proper method to manage the EAP based on your actual network situation. There are two methods: via EAP Controller and via the web page of the EAP. Via EAP ControllerIf you want to establish a large-scale wireless network and have mass EAPs to be managed, we recommend that you use EAP Controller to centrally manage the EAPs. In such case, the EAPs work in FIT mode.For detailed instructions about the network topology in such situation and how to use EAP Controller, refer to the User Guide of EAP Controller. To download EAP Controller and its User Guide, go to http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/EAP-Controller.html. Via the Web Page of the EAPIf you have a relatively small-sized wireless network and only one or just a small number of EAPs need to be managed, you can directly use the web browser to manage each EAP on its own management web page. In such case, the EAP works in Standalone mode (FAT mode), which means that it works independently as a standalone access point.This User Guide introduces how to configure the Standalone EAP on its web page.Note:The web page of an EAP is inaccessible while it is managed by EAP Controller. To turn the EAP back to Standalone mode and access its web page, you can Forget the EAP on EAP Controller to reset the EAP or simply close EAP Controller.
61.2 Build the Network TopologyTo manage the EAPs in Standalone mode, refer to the following topology.EAPEAPPCIP: 192.168.0.100Switch Router (DHCP Server)LAN: 192.168.0.1 InternetClients• The router is the gateway of the network, and devices in the LAN surf the internet via the router. At the same time, the router acts as a DHCP server to assign dynamic IP addresses to the EAPs and clients.• The layer 2 switch is connected to the LAN interface of the router.• The PC and the EAPs are all connected to the layer 2 switch. Since the PC and the EAPs are in the same network segment, the PC can log in to the web pages of the EAPs and manage them.
71.3 Log In to the EAPThere are two methods to log in to the EAP. You can choose one as you like: Log In via the Domain Name and Log in via the IP Address of the EAP.Note:EAP320 and EAP330 are not currently available for login via domain name.Log In via the Domain NameIn this method, you needn't know the IP address of the EAP, but you need to prepare a wireless client device, such as a wireless laptop. Follow the steps below to log in to the EAP wirelessly:1. Set the wireless client device to get IP settings assigned automatically2. Search the default SSID (Network name) using your wireless client device and connect to the wireless network of the EAP. The default SSID of the EAP is printed on the product label at the bottom of the device. The dual-band EAP has two default SSIDs named TP-LINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX and TP-LINK_5GHz_XXXXXX on the 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band, and the single-band EAP has a default SSID named TPLINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX on the 2.4GHz band.
83. Make sure that the wireless client has been assigned the IP address and has got the IP address of the DNS server and the gateway.4. Launch a web browser on the client device and enter http://tplinkeap.net in the address bar to load the login page of the EAP. Use admin for both of the username and password to log in.
95. In the pop-up window, configure a new username and a new password for your user account.6. Use the new username and password to log in.Tips:To facilitate access to the EAP via a wired device, you can set a static IP address for the EAP and remember it well or write it down. But make sure that this IP address is not being used in the same LAN. For detailed instructions about how to set a static IP address for the EAP, refer to Configure the IP Address of the EAP.Log in via the IP Address of the EAPTo log in to the EAP through the Ethernet cable, you need to know the IP address of the EAP. Follow the steps below to log in via the IP address of the EAP:1. Get the IP address of the EAP. There are two methods.• Log in to the router which acts as the DHCP server. In the DHCP client list, find the IP address of your EAP according to its MAC address. The MAC address can be found at the bottom of the EAP.• Go to http://www.tp-link.com/en/download/EAP-Controller.html#EAP_Discovery_Tool to download EAP Discovery Utility. EAP Discovery Utility is a software that can scan all EAPs in the same network segment. Install and launch EAP Discovery Utility
10on the PC, and find the IP address of the EAP. In the following figure, the IP address of the EAP is 192.168.0.5.2. Launch a web browser and enter 192.168.0.5 in the address bar to load the login page of the EAP. Use admin for both of the username and password to log in.
113. In the pop-up window, configure a new username and a new password for your user account.4. Use the new username and password to log in.Tips:To facilitate access to the EAP via a wired device, you can set a static IP address for the EAP and remember it well or write it down. But make sure that this IP address is not being used in the same LAN. For detailed instructions about how to set a static IP address for the EAP, refer to Configure the IP Address of the EAP.1.4 Edit the SSIDBy default, the dual-band EAP has two default SSIDs named TP-LINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX and TP-LINK_5GHz_XXXXXX on the 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band, and the single-band EAP has a default SSID named TP-LINK_2.4GHz_XXXXXX on the 2.4GHz band.The default SSID has no password, so anyone can access the network without authentication. If your network is a private network, for security, we recommend that you change the SSID configuration immediately after login.Follow the steps below to edit the default SSID:
121. Go to the Wireless > Wireless Settings page. In the SSIDs section, click in the Modify column of the SSID entry.
132. The following page will appear. Change Security Mode from None to WEP, WPA-Enterprise or WPA-PSK. Configure the related parameters and click OK. We recommend that you choose WPA-PSK. For details, refer to Configure SSIDs.Tips: · If needed, you can also create more new SSIDs. For detailed instructions about how to create new SSIDs, refer to Configure SSIDs. · If your EAP is a dual-band EAP, remember to configure the SSID of the 5GHz band in the same way.
141.5 Configure and Manage the EAPAfter all the steps above are completed, the legal wireless clients can enjoy the internet via the EAP. Additionally, you can configure the advanced functions of the EAP according to your need, and manage it conveniently on the web page.On the top of the page, you can click to log out and click to open the technical support website.There are five tabs: Network, Wireless, Monitoring, Management and System. The following table introduces what you can configure under each tab.Network You can configure the IP address of the EAP.Wireless You can configure the wireless parameters and the advanced features, such as Portal, MAC Filtering, Scheduler, QoS and Rogue AP Detection.Monitoring You can view the information of the EAP, SSIDs and clients.Management You can manage the EAP using the management features, such as System Logs, Web Server, Management Access, Management VLAN and SNMP.System You can configure the system parameters, including the login account and the system time. In addition, you can reboot and reset the EAP, backup and restore the configuration, and upgrade the EAP using the new firmware file.
15 2 Congure the NetworkThis chapter introduces how to configure the network parameters and the advanced features of the EAP, including: ·Configure the IP Address of the EAP ·Configure the Wireless Parameters ·Configure Portal Authentication ·Configure MAC Filtering ·Configure Scheduler ·Configure QoS ·Configure Rogue AP Detection
162.1 Configure the IP Address of the EAPThe IP address of the EAP can be a dynamic IP address assigned by the DHCP server or a static IP address manually specified by yourself. By default, the EAP gets a dynamic IP address from the DHCP server. You can also specify a static IP address according to your needs.Tips:For detailed introduction about how to find the dynamic IP address of the EAP, refer to Log in via the IP Address of the EAP.To configure the IP address of the EAP, go to the Network page.Follow the steps below to configure the IP address of the EAP:1. Choose your desired IP address mode: Dynamic or Static.2. Configure the related parameters according to your selection.
17 ·DynamicIf you choose Dynamic as the IP address mode, make sure that there is a reachable DHCP server on your network and the DHCP sever is properly configured to assign IP address and the other network parameters to the EAP.For network stability, you can also configure the fallback IP parameters for the EAP:Fallback IP With the fallback IP configured, if the EAP fails to get an IP address from a DHCP server within 10 seconds, the fallback IP will work as the IP address of the EAP. After that, however, the EAP will keep trying to obtain an IP address from the DHCP server until it succeeds. DHCP Fallback IPSpecify a fallback IP address for the EAP. Make sure that this IP address is not being used by any other device in the same LAN.DHCP Fallback IP MASKSpecify the network mask of the fallback IP.DHCP Fallback GatewaySpecify the network gateway. ·StaticIf you choose Static as the IP address mode, you need to manually specify an IP address and the related network parameters for the EAP. Make sure that the specified IP address is not being used by any other device in the same LAN.Configure the IP address and network parameters as the following table shows:IP Address Specify a static IP address for the EAP.
18IP Mask Specify the network mask.Gateway Specify the network gateway.3. Click Save.
192.2 Configure the Wireless ParametersTo configure the wireless parameters, go to the Wireless > Wireless Settings page.The following sections introduce these contents: Configure Basic Wireless Settings, Configure SSIDs, Cofigure Wireless Advanced Settings and Configure Load Balance.
20Note: · For a dual-band EAP, there are two bands: 2.4GHz and 5GHz. The wireless parameters are separately set on each band. You can click to select a band and configure the wireless parameters on this band. · The following figures take 2.4GHz as an example.Configure Basic Wireless SettingsProper wireless parameters can improve the quality of your wireless network. This section introduces how to configure the basic wireless parameters.Follow the steps below to complete the basic wireless settings:1. If your EAP is a dual-band device, click to choose a frequency band to be configured.2. In the Wireless Basic Settings section, configure the following parameters:2.4GHz Wireless Radio/5GHz Wireless RadioCheck the box to enable 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless Radio. By default, it is enabled.Only when this option is enabled will the wireless radio on 2.4GHz/5GHz band works.Wireless Mode Select the protocol standard for the wireless network.For 2.4GHz network, we recommend that you select 802.11b/g/n. In this way, clients supporting any one of these modes can access your wireless network.For 5GHz network, we recommend that you select 802.11n/ac or 802.11a/n/ac. In this way, clients supporting any one of these modes can access your wireless network.
21Channel Width Select the channel width.According to IEEE 802.11n standard, using a higher bandwidth can increase wireless throughput. However, you may choose a lower bandwidth due to the following reasons: ·To increase the available number of channels within the limited total bandwidth. ·To avoid interference from overlapping channels occupied by other devices in the environment. ·Lower bandwidth can concentrate higher transmit power, increasing stability of wireless links over long distances.Channel Limit Check the box to enable the Channel Limit function. With this function enabled, the wireless frequency 5150MHz~5350MHz will be disabled. This function can influence the available options in Channel.This feature is only available for 5GHz wireless configuration of EAP225-Outdoor.Channel Select the channel used by the EAP. For example, 1/2412MHz means that the channel is 1 and the frequency is 2412MHz.By default, the channel is automatically selected, and we recommend that you keep the default setting.Tx Power (EIRP) Specify the transmit power value.If this value is set to be larger than the maximum transmit power that is allowed by the local regulation, the regulated maximum transmit power will be applied in the actual situation.Note: In most cases, it is unnecessary to use the maximum transmit power. Specifying a larger transmit power than needed may cause interference to the neighborhood. Also it consumes more power and reduces longevity of the device.3. Click Save.
22Configure SSIDsSSID (Service Set Identifier) is used as an identifier for a wireless LAN, and is commonly called as the “network name“. Clients can find and access the wireless network through the SSID. For one EAP, you can build up to eight SSIDs per frequency band.Follow the steps below to create an SSID on the EAP:1. If your EAP is a dual-band device, click to choose a frequency band on which the new SSID will be created.2. Click to add a new SSID on the chosen band.Tips:If there are SSIDs already in the list, you can also click to edit the specific SSID.3. Configure the following required parameters for this SSID:SSID Specify a name for the wireless network.
23Wireless VLANIDSet a VLAN ID for the wireless network. It supports maximum 8 VLANs per frequency band.With this feature, the EAP can work together with the switches supporting 802.1Q VLAN. The EAP adds different VLAN tags to the clients which are connected to the corresponding wireless network. The clients in different VLANs cannot directly communicate with each other.VLAN 0 means that the EAP does not add any VLAN tag to the clients which are connected to this wireless network.Note: Clients connected to the EAP via Ethernet cable do not belong to any VLAN. Thus wired client can communicate with all the wireless clients despite the VLAN settings.SSID Broadcast With the option enabled, EAP will broadcast the SSID to the nearby hosts, so that those hosts can find the wireless network identified by this SSID. If this option is disabled, users must enter the SSID manually to connect to the EAP.Security Mode Select the security mode of the wireless network. There are four options:None: Clients can access the wireless network without authentication.WEP/WPA-Enterprise/WPA-PSK: Clients need to pass the authentication before accessing the wireless network. For network security, we recommend that you encrypt your wireless network. The following sections will introduce how to configure these security modes.Portal With this option enabled, the Portal configuration will be applied to this wireless network.Portal provides authentication service for the clients who just need temporary access to the wireless network, such as the customers in a shopping mall or in a restaurant. Portal also provides a way for vendors and companies to put their advertisements on the authentication page. For detailed instructions about Portal, refer to Configure Portal Authentication.SSID Isolation With this option enabled, the devices connected to the same SSID cannot communicate with each other.4. Click OK to create the SSID.Following is the detailed instructions about how to configure WEP, WPA-Enterprise and WPA-PSK. ·WEPWEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a traditional encryption method. It has been proved that WEP has security flaws and can easily be cracked, so WEP cannot provide effective protection for wireless networks. Since WPA-PSK and WPA-Enterprise are much safer
24than WEP, we recommend that you choose WPA-PSK or WPA-Enterprise if your clients also support them.Note:WEP is not supported in 802.11n mode or 802.11ac mode. If WEP is applied in 802.11n, 802.11 ac or 802.11n/ac mixed mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network. If WEP is applied in 802.11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz) or 802.11a/n (5GHz), the EAP may work at a low transmission rate.The following table detailedly introduces how to configure each item:Type Select the authentication type for WEP.Auto: The EAP can select Open System or Shared Key automatically based on the wireless capability and request of the clients.Open System: Clients can pass the authentication and associate with the wireless network without password. However, correct password is necessary for data transmission.Shared Key: Clients have to input the correct password to pass the authentication, otherwise the clients cannot associate with the wireless network or transmit data.Key Selected Select one key to specify. You can configure four keys at most.WEP Key Format Select ASCII or Hexadecimal as the WEP key format.ASCII: With this format selected, the WEP key can be any combination of keyboard characters of the specified length.Hexadecimal: With this format selected, the WEP key can be any combination of hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f, A-F) with the specified length.Key Type Select the WEP key length for encryption.64Bit: Enter 10 hexadecimal digits or 5 ASCII characters.128Bit: Enter 26 hexadecimal digits or 13 ASCII characters.152Bit: Enter 32 hexadecimal digits or 16 ASCII characters.Key Value Enter the WEP keys. The length and valid characters are determined by the key format and key type.
25 ·WPA-EnterpriseWPA-Enterprise (Wi-Fi Protected Access-Enterprise) is a safer encryption method compared with WEP and WAP-PSK. It requires a RADIUS server to authenticate the clients via 802.1X and EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol). WPA-Enterprise can generate different passwords for different clients, which ensures higher network security. But it also costs more to maintain the network, so it is more suitable for business networks.The following table introduces how to configure each item:Version Select the version of WPA-Enterprise.Auto: The EAP will automatically choose the version used by each client device.WPA/WPA2: They’re two versions of WPA security mode. WPA2 is an update of WPA. Compared with WPA, WPA2 introduces AES algorithm and CCMP encryption. Theoretically, WPA2 is securer than WPA.Encryption Select the Encryption type.Auto: The default setting is Auto and the EAP will select TKIP or AES automatically based on the client device’s request.TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode, 802.11ac mode or 802.11n/ac mixed mode. If TKIP is applied in 802.11n, 802.11 ac or 802.11n/ac mixed mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network. If TKIP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz) or 11a/n mode(5GHz), the device may work at a low transmission rate.AES: Advanced Encryption Standard. It is securer than TKIP.RADIUS Server IP Enter the IP address of the Radius Server.RADIUS Port Enter the port number of the Radius Server.RADIUS Password Enter the shared secret key of the Radius server.
26Group Key UpdatePeriodSpecify an update period of the encryption key. The update period instructs how often the EAP should change the encryption key. 0 means that the encryption key does not change at anytime. ·WPA-PSKWPA-PSK (Wi-Fi Protected Access-PSK) is based on a pre-shared key. It is characterized by high safety and simple settings, so it is mostly used by common households and small businesses.The following table introduces how to configure each item:Version Select the version of WPA-Enterprise.Auto: The EAP will automatically choose the version used by each client device.WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: They’re two versions of WPA-PSK security mode. WPA2-PSK is an update of WPA-PSK. Compared with WPA, Theoretically, WPA2 is securer than WPA.Encryption Select the Encryption type.Auto: The default setting is Auto and the EAP will select TKIP or AES automatically based on the client device’s request.TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP is not supported in 802.11n mode, 802.11ac mode or 802.11n/ac mixed mode. If TKIP is applied in 802.11n, 802.11 ac or 802.11n/ac mixed mode, the clients may not be able to access the wireless network. If TKIP is applied in 11b/g/n mode (2.4GHz) or 11a/n mode(5GHz), the device may work at a low transmission rate.AES: Advanced Encryption Standard. It is securer than TKIP.
27WirelessPasswordConfigure the wireless password with ASCII or Hexadecimal characters. ·For ASCII, the length should be between 8 and 63 and the valid characters contain numbers, letters (case-sensitive) and common punctuations. ·For Hexadecimal, the length should be between 8 and 64, and the valid characters contain: 0-9, a-f, A-F.Group Key Update PeriodSpecify an update period of the encryption key. The update period instructs how often the EAP should change the encryption key. 0 means that the encryption key does not change at anytime.Cofigure Wireless Advanced SettingsConfigure the advanced wireless parameters of the EAP and click Save.The following table introduces how to configure each item:Beacon Interval Beacons are transmitted periodically by the EAP device to announce the presence of a wireless network for the clients. Beacon Interval determines the time interval of the beacons sent by the EAP device.You can specify a value between 40 and 100ms. The default is 100ms.DTIM Period The DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) is contained in some Beacon frames. It indicates whether the EAP device has buffered data for client devices. The DTIM Period indicates how often the clients served by this EAP device should check for buffered data still on the EAP device awaiting pickup.You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1, indicating that clients check for buffered data at every beacon. An excessive DTIM interval may reduce the performance of multicast applications, so we recommend you keep the default value.
28RTS Threshold RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) is used to improve the data transmission efficiency of the network with hidden nodes, especially when there are lots of large packets to be transmitted.When the size of a data packet is larger than the RTS Threshold, the RTS/CTS mechanism will be activated. With this mechanism activated, before sending a data packet, the client will send an RTS packet to the EAP to request data transmitting. And then the EAP will send CTS packet to inform other clients to delay their data transmitting. In this way, packet collisions can be avoided.For a busy network with hidden nodes, a low threshold value will help reduce interference and packet collisions. But for a not-so-busy network, a too low threshold value will cause bandwidth wasting and reduce the data throughput. The recommended and default value is 2347 bytes.Fragmentation ThresholdThe fragmentation function can limit the size of packets transmitted over the network. If the size of a packet exceeds the Fragmentation Threshold, the fragmentation function is activated and the packet will be fragmented into several packets.Fragmentation helps improve network performance if properly configured. However, a too low fragmentation threshold may result in poor wireless performance caused by the extra work of dividing up and reassembling of frames and increased message traffic. The recommended and default value is 2346 bytes.Airtime Fairness EAP225_V3, EAP225-Outdoor_V1, EAP245_V3, EAP320 and EAP330 support this feature. With this option enabled, each client connected to the EAP can get the same amount of time to transmit data, avoiding low-data-rate clients to occupy too much network bandwidth.Compared with the relatively new client devices, some legacy client devices support slower wireless rate. If they communicate with the same EAP, the slower clients take more time to transmit and receive data compared with the faster clients. As a result, the overall wireless throughput of the network decreases. So under such circumstance, we recommend that you enable this feature to ensure the data transmission time for the faster clients. In this way, the network overall throughput can be improved.For EAP225_V3 and EAP225-Outdoor_V1, with this option enabled, at most 50 wireless clients can connect to the EAP in 2.4GHz band.
29Configure Load BalanceWith the Load Balance feature, you can limit the maximum number of clients who can access the EAP. In this way, you can achieve rational use of network resources.Follow the steps below to configure Load Balance:1. Click to choose a frequency band on which the load balance feature will take effect.2. In the Load Balance section, click to enable this feature. The ON button with cyan background color indicates this feature is enabled.3. Specify the maximum number of clients who can connect to the EAP at the same time. While the number of connected clients has reached the limit and there are more clients requesting to access the network, the EAP will disconnect those with weaker signals.4. Click Save.2.3 Configure Portal AuthenticationPortal authentication provides authentication service to the clients that only need temporary access to the wireless network, such as the customers in a restaurant or in a supermarket. To access the network, these clients need to enter the authentication login page and use the correct login information to pass the authentication. In addition, you can customize the authentication login page and specify a URL which the authenticated clients will be redirected to.In this module, you can also configure Free Authentication Policy, which allows the specific clients to access the specific network resources without authentication.
30To configure portal authentication, go to the Wireless > Portal page.Configure PortalThree portal authentication types are available: No Authentication, Local Password and External Radius Server. The following sections introduce how to configure each authentication type.
31 ·No AuthenticationWith this authentication type configured, clients can pass the authentication and access the network without providing any login information. They only need to accept the term of use on the authentication page.Follow the steps below to configure No Authentication as the portal authentication type:1. Select No Authentication as the authentication type.2. Configure the relevant parameters as the following table shows:Authentication TimeoutSpecify the value of authentication timeout.A client’s authentication will expire after the authentication timeout and the client needs to log in to the authentication page again to access the network.Options include 1 Hour, 8 Hours, 24 Hours, 7 Days, and Custom. With Custom selected, you can customize the time in days, hours, and minutes.Redirect With this function configured, the newly authenticated client will be redirected to the specific URL.Redirect URL With Redirect enabled, you also need to enter the URL in this field.

83 6 Application ExampleThis chapter provides an application example about how to establish and manage a EAP wireless network:A restaurant wants to provide the wireless internet access for the employees and guests. The restaurant now has a router, a switch, a dual-band EAP and a computer. Follow the steps below to establish the wireless network:1. Determine the Network Requirements2. Build the Network Topology3. Log in to the EAP4. Configure the EAP5. Test the Network
846.1 Determine the Network RequirementsBefore starting to build the network, we need to first analyze and determine the network requirements. In this restaurant example, the network requirements are as follows:• On both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands, there are two SSIDs needed: one for the restaurant employees and one for the guests.• In order to advertise the restaurant, the Portal feature needs to be configured on the SSIDs for the guests. In this way, the guests who have passed the portal authentication will be redirected to the restaurant’s official website http://www.restaurant1.com.• The employees of the restaurant can use the correct password to access the internet and do not need to pass the portal authentication. For security, the SSIDs for the employees should be encrypted with WPA2-PSK.• To reduce power consumption, the Scheduler feature needs to be configured. The radio should operate only during the working time (9:00 am to 22:00 pm).6.2 Build the Network TopologyBuild the network topology as the following figure shows.EAPManagement HostSwitch Router (DHCP Server)LAN: 192.168.88.1 Internet• The router is the gateway of the network and acts as a DHCP server to assign dynamic IP addresses to the management host, EAP and clients. The LAN IP of the router is 192.168.88.1/24.• Connect the switch to the LAN port of the router.• Connect the management host and the EAP to the switch. The IP address mode of the management host and EAP is dynamic, which means that they will get dynamic IP addresses from the router.Tips:If the router has more than one LAN port, we can also respectively connect the management host and the EAP to the LAN ports of the router.
856.3 Log in to the EAPAfter building the network topology, follow the steps below to log in to the web page of the EAP:1. On the management host, launch the web browser and enter “192.168.88.1” in the address bar. Then log in to the router and find the IP address of the EAP. As the following figure shows, the IP address of the EAP is 192.168.88.101.2. Enter “192.168.88.101” in the address bar to load the login page of the EAP. Type the default username and password (both admin) in the two fields and click LOGIN.3. In the pop-up window, specify a new username and a new password for the user account. Click Confirm.
864. Enter the new username and new password and click LOGIN. Then we can enter the web page of the EAP.6.4 Configure the EAPTo achieve the network requirements in this application example, we need to Configure SSIDs, Configure Portal Authentication and Configure Scheduler.Configure SSIDsFollow the steps below to respectively configure SSIDs for the employees and guests on the 2.4GHz band and 5GHz band:1. Go to the Wireless > Wireless Settings page.2. In the SSIDs section, there is already a default SSID on the 2.4GHz band.
