PIN Code: You can set a PIN code, not more than 8 characters.
Remaining Attempts: Shows how many attempts there are left for you to try entering the
PIN code after you failed to enter the right one. You have 3 attempts at most. If you
accidentally fail in three attempts, the PIN will be locked and you will be required to enter
the PUK code that is written on your SIM card (as shown in Figure 4-17).
If the current status of PIN is disabled, you can select Enable PIN and set a PIN code, and then
click Apply to make your settings take effect. While, if the SIM current status is PIN enabled
and verified, you can select Disable PIN and enter the current PIN code, or select Modify PIN
and enter the required parameters to set a new PIN code, and then click Apply to make your
settings take effect.

Figure 4-17 PIN Configuration - PUK Decode
A PUK (PIN Unlocked Key), also known as Personal Unlock Code (PUC), is used in 3GPP
mobile phones to reset a personal identification number (PIN) that has been lost or forgotten.
The PUK is a SIM-specific code assigned by the service provider. If a user does not know his or
her PUC and is prompted for it, it should be obtained from the service provider.
On the page as shown in Figure 4-17, first enter the PUK code and then set a new PIN code to
unlock your SIM card as well as any device with it inserted.

4.4.2 Wi-Fi
Figure 4-19 Wi-Fi menu
Wi-Fi Settings can prevent any intruders from connecting your wireless network, occupying
your network resources, hacker-overhearing and hacker-attacking, and thus enhance the
security of your wireless network.
4.4.2.1. Basic Settings
Wi-Fi basic settings enable you to configure your wireless parameters.
Figure 4-20 Wi-Fi Basic Settings
Wireless Network Name (SSID): SSID is short for Service Set Identification, which is for
you to distinguish the different wireless network. The default SSID of this device is
TP-LINK_M5_XXXXXX (XXXXXX stand for the last 6 characters of the MAC address of it.)
You can rename it as your preference, but the value is limited to 32 characters at most and
also it is case-sensitive (For example, TEST is NOT the same as test.) Later on it will
displays in the wireless network list searched by your devices.
M5350
-24-
Enable SSID Broadcast: Select to enable or disable this function. When wireless clients
survey the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they will detect the SSID
broadcast by the device. If you Enable SSID Broadcast, the Wireless device will broadcast
its name (SSID) on the air; otherwise, you have to manually type in the SSID and then you
can join its network.
Region: Select your region from the drop-down list. This field specifies the region where
the wireless function of the device can be used. It may be illegal to use the wireless
function of the device in a region other than one of those specified in this field. If your
country or region is not listed, please contact your local government agency for assistance.
Channel: This field determines which operating frequency ranging from 1~13 will be used.
If you select Auto, then the device will choose the best channel automatically. It is not
necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with
another nearby access point.
Security Mode: You are provided three modes of security here: None,
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, and WEP.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: It’s the WPA/WPA2 authentication type based on pre-shared
passphrase. It’s easy to set and secure to use. So it’s perfect for SOHO users.
WPA Encryption: Two types of encryption are provided here: TKIP and AES. AES is
recommended.
WPA Key: The default WPA key is the last 8 characters of IMEI. You can keep it
default or enter 8~63 ASCII characters or 8~64 hexadecimal characters as your new
WPA key.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Privacy, a basic type of security, is not so secure as
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. It is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard.
WEP Authentication Type: Select either Open (System) or Shared (Key) as your
authentication.
WEP Key Type: HEX and ASCII formats are provided. HEX format stands for any
combination of hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f, A-F) in the specified length. ASCII format
stands for any combination of keyboard characters in the specified length.
WEP Key Lengths: You can select the WEP key length WEP_40 (64-bit) or
WEP_104 (128-bit) for encryption. You can enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any
combination of 0-9, a-f, A-F, zero key is not promoted) or 5 ASCII characters for
WEP_40 (64-bit).You can enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f,
A-F, zero key is not promoted) or 13 ASCII characters for WEP_104 (128-bit).
WEP Key: In accordance with the WEP Key length you have selected above, enter
your WEP Key.

Appendix A: FAQ
T1. What should I do if I cannot log in the web-based management page of M5350 after I
have successfully connected to M5350?
1) Please verify your PC‘s IP address is on the same network segment with M5350. If not,
please go to the next step.
2) Manually set an IP address for your PC, or configure your PC to “Obtain an IP address
automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically”. Thus to make sure your
PC‘s IP address on the same network segment with M5350.
3) If the above two steps failed, please feel free to contact our technical support.

Appendix D: Glossary
802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input
multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased
data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity,
perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium
(EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and
promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area
networking (WLAN) products.
802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using
direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio
spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to
as Wi-Fi networks.
802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the
unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices,
and WEP encryption for security.
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the
TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.
SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key
identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is
typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in
the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit
shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards
group promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local
area.
