Chapter 1 IntroductionWAP6806 User’s Guide121.4 WPS ButtonThe WPS button can be used to configure 2.4G and 5G settings. 1.4.1 Wi-Fi Protected SetupYour WAP6806 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.For more information on using WPS, see Section 12.7 on page 69.1.5 Reset ButtonIf you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the WAP6806 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to “1234” and the IP address of the WAP6806 will be reset to “192.168.1.2”.1.5.1 Procedure to Use the Reset Button1Make sure the power LED is on.2Press the RESET button for one to five seconds to reboot the WAP6806.Table 3 WPS Button FunctionsACTION RESULTClient ModePush once for less than 5 seconds The WAP6806 triggers uplink WPS.AP ModePush once for less than 5 seconds The WAP6806 triggers both 2.4G and 5G primary Service Set Identity (SSID) at the same time.Repeater ModePush once for less than 5 seconds The WAP6806 triggers uplink WPS.Push twice for less than 5 seconds The WAP6806 triggers downlink WPS.

WAP6806 User’s Guide62CHAPTER 12Wireless LAN12.1 OverviewThis chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your WAP6806. See Section 1.1 on page 9 for an overview of wireless networks.Note: Wireless LAN screens are not available when the WAP6806 is in Client mode.12.2 What You Can Do•Use the General screen to enable the Wireless LAN (2.4G/5G), enter the SSID and select the HT physical mode (Section 12.4 on page 63).•Use the Advanced screen to set the RTS Threshold and WMM (Section 12.5 on page 65).•Use the Security screen to configure wireless security between the WAP6806 and the wireless clients (Section 12.6 on page 66).•Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually (Section 12.7 on page 69).12.3 What You Should KnowEvery wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.12.3.1 Wireless Security OverviewThe following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network.
Chapter 12 Wireless LANWAP6806 User’s Guide6312.3.1.1 EncryptionWireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message.For example, if users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no authentication, if users do log on to the wireless network, you can choose No Security, WEP, WPA-Personal, or WPA2-Personal.Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA-Personal. Therefore, you should set up WEP in the wireless network.Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-Personal, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.12.3.1.2 WPSWi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices.
