1.2 Securing the WAP6806
Do the following things regularly to make the WAP6806 more secure and to manage the WAP6806
more effectively.
• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different
types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you
forget your password, you will have to reset the WAP6806 to its factory default settings. If you
backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WAP6806.
You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.4 WPS Button
The WPS button can be used to configure 2.4G and 5G settings.
1.4.1 Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Your 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 Button
If 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 Button
1Make sure the power LED is on.
2Press the RESET button for one to five seconds to reboot the WAP6806.

1Locate a high position on a wall that is free os obstructions. Use a sturdy wall.
2For a concrete or brick wall find a drill bit with the same diameter as the screw anchors. If you do
not need the screw anchors, find a drill bit slightly smaller in diameter than the included screws.
3Drill two screw holes in the wall. Make sure the distance between the centers of the holes is the
same as the wall-mount holes.
Note: Be careful to avoid damaging pipes or cables located inside the wall when drilling
holes for the screws.

CHAPTER 3
Repeater Mode
3.1 Overview
In repeater mode, your WAP6806 can act as an access point and wireless client at the same time.
The WAP6806 can connect to an existing network through another access point and also lets
wireless clients connect to the network through it. This helps you expand wireless coverage when
you have an access point or wireless router already in your network.
In the example below, the WAP6806 (A) is configured as a repeater. It has three clients that want
to connect to the Internet. The WAP6806 wirelessly connects to the available access point (B).
Figure 4 Repeater Mode
After the WAP6806 and the access point connect, the WAP6806 acquires its IP address from the
access point. The clients of the WAP6806 can now surf the Internet.

Client Mode
5.1 Overview
Your WAP6806 can act as a wireless client. In wireless client mode, it can connect to an existing
network via an access point. Use this mode if you already have an access point or wireless router in
your network.
In the example below, one WAP6806 (A) is configured as a wireless client and another is used as an
access point (B). The WAP6806 has two wired clients that need to connect to the Internet. The
WAP6806 wirelessly connects to the available access point (B).
Figure 11 Wireless Client Mode
After the WAP6806 and the access point connect, the WAP6806 acquires its WAN IP address from
the access point. The clients of the WAP6806 can now surf the Internet.
5.2 What You Can Do
•Use the Status screen (Section 5.5 on page 28) to view read-only information about your
WAP6806.
•Use the Ethernet screen (Chapter 11 on page 60) to set the IP address for your WAP6806.
5.3 What You Need to Know
With the exception of the Wireless LAN screens, the Ethernet, Monitor, Configuration and
Maintenance screens in Client mode are similar to the ones in Access Point Mode. See Chapter 11

The following table describes the labels in this screen.
10.4.2 WPA-Personal / WPA2-Personal / WPA/WPA2-Personal Mixed
Wi-Fi Protected (WPA) is a subset of the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) is a wireless
security standard that defines stronger encryption, authentication and key management than WPA.
Key differences between WPA or WPA2 and WEP are improved data encryption and user
authentication.
If both an AP and the wireless clients support WPA2 and you have an external RADIUS server, use
WPA2 for stronger data encryption. If you don’t have an external RADIUS server, you should use
WPA-Personal that only requires a single (identical) password entered into each access point,
wireless gateway and wireless client. As long as the password match, a wireless client will be
granted access to a WLAN.
If the AP or the wireless clients do not support WPA2, just use WPA or WPA-Personal depending on
whether you have an external RADIUS server or not.
Select WEP only when the AP and/or wireless clients do not support WPA or WPA2. WEP is less
secure than WPA or WPA2.

CHAPTER 12
Wireless LAN
12.1 Overview
This 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 Know
Every 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 Overview
The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless
network.
Chapter 12 Wireless LAN
WAP6806 User’s Guide
63
12.3.1.1 Encryption
Wireless 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 WPS
Wi-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. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by
themselves.
12.4 General Wireless LAN Screen
Use this screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the HT physical mode.
Note: If you are configuring the WAP6806 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN
and you change the WAP6806’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose
your wireless connection when you press Confirm. You must then change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the WAP6806’s new settings.
