9.1 Overview
This chapt er discusses how t o configure t he wireless net work set t ings in your WRE6505. See
Sect ion 1.1 on page 9 for an overview of wireless net works.
9.2 What You Can Do
• Use t he Ge n e r a l screen t o enable t he Wireless LAN ( 2.4G/ 5G) , ent er t he SSI D and select t he
wireless securit y m ode ( Sect ion 9.4 on page 55) .
• Use t he Se cu r it y screen t o ( Sect ion 9.5 on page 56) .
• Use t he M AC Filt e r screen t o allow or deny wireless st at ions based on t heir MAC addresses from
connect ing t o t he WRE6505 ( Sect ion 9.7 on page 57) .
• Use t he Adva nce d screen t o allow int ra- BSS net working and set t he RTS/ CTS Threshold ( Sect ion
9.8 on page 59) .
• Use t he W PS screen t o quickly set up a wireless net work wit h st rong securit y, wit hout having t o
configure securit y set t ings m anually ( Sect ion 9.9 on page 59) .
• Use t he AP Se le ct screen t o choose an access point t hat you want t he WRE6505 t o connect t o.
You should know t he securit y set t ings of t he t arget AP ( Sect ion 9.6 on page 56) .
9.3 What You Should Know
Every wireless net work m ust follow t hese basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in t he sam e wireless net work m ust use t he sam e SSI D.
The SSI D is t he nam e of t he wireless net work. I t st ands for Service Set I Dent it y.
• I f t wo wireless net works overlap, t hey should use different channels.
Like radio st at ions or t elevision channels, each wireless net work uses a specific channel, or
frequency, t o send and receive inform at ion.
• Every wireless client in t he sam e wireless net work m ust use securit y com pat ible wit h t he AP.
Securit y st ops unaut horized devices from using t he wireless net work. I t can also prot ect t he
inform at ion t hat is sent in t he wireless net work.
9.3.1 Wireless Security Overview
The following sect ions int roduce different t ypes of wireless securit y you can set up in t he wireless
net work.
WRE6505 User’s Guide

Chapter 9 Wireless LAN
9.3.1.1 MAC Address List
Every wireless client has a unique ident ificat ion num ber, called a MAC address. 1 A MAC address is
usually writ t en using t welve hexadecim al charact ers2 ; for exam ple, 00A0C5000002 or
00: A0: C5: 00: 00: 02. To get t he MAC address for each wireless client , see t he appropriat e User ’s
Guide or ot her docum ent at ion.
You can use t he MAC Address List t o t ell t he AP which wireless client s are allowed t o use t he
wireless net work. I f a wireless client is allowed t o use t he wireless net work, it st ill has t o have t he
correct set t ings ( SSI D, channel, and securit y) . I f a wireless client is not allowed t o use t he wireless
net work, it does not m at t er if it has t he correct set t ings.
This t ype of securit y does not prot ect t he inform at ion t hat is sent in t he wireless net work.
Furt herm ore, t here are ways for unaut horized devices t o get t he MAC address of an aut horized
wireless client . Then, t hey can use t hat MAC address t o use t he wireless net work.
9.3.1.2 Encryption
Wireless net works can use encrypt ion t o prot ect t he inform at ion t hat is sent in t he wireless
net work. Encrypt ion is like a secret code. I f you do not know t he secret code, you cannot
underst and t he m essage.
Table 16 Types of Encrypt ion for Each Type of Aut hent icat ion
NO AUTHENTICATION
W e a k e st
No Securit y
St at ic WEP
WPA- PSK
St r on ge st
WPA2- PSK
For exam ple, if users do not log in t o t he wireless net work, you can choose no aut hent icat ion, if
users do log on t o t he wireless net work, you can choose No Securit y, St a t ic W EP, W PA- PSK, or
W PA2 - PSK.
Usually, you should set up t he st rongest encrypt ion t hat every wireless client in t he wireless
net work support s. Suppose t he wireless net work has t wo wireless client s. Device A only support s
WEP, and device B support s WEP and WPA- PSK. Therefore, you should set up St a t ic W EP in t he
wireless net work.
Not e: I t is recom m ended t hat w ireless net works use WPA- PSK, or st ronger encrypt ion.
I EEE 802.1x and WEP encrypt ion are bet t er t han none at all, but it is st ill possible
for unaut horized devices t o figure out t he original inform at ion pret t y quickly.
Many t ypes of encrypt ion use a key t o prot ect t he inform at ion in t he wireless net work. The longer
t he key, t he st ronger t he encrypt ion. Every wireless client in t he wireless net work m ust have t he
sam e key.
