Basic settings to get your wireless network up and running.
- Wireless Network
-
- Enable SSID Broadcast
- If Enabled, the Wireless Access Point will broadcast its name (SSID) to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a null value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.
- Enable Wireless Isolation
- If checked, the wireless client under this SSID can only access internet and it can`t access other wireless clients even under the same SSID, Ethernet clients or this device. Other clients can`t access the wireless client, either.
- Name(SSID)
- Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same name (SSID) must be assigned to all wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is
, but we strongly recommend that you change your network`s name (SSID) to a different value. This value is case-sensitive. For example, SSID is not the same as SSId.
- Mode
- Select the wireless mode you want to use. The options are:
- 802.11b mode. With a maximum speed of up to 11 Mbps.
- 802.11g mode. With a maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps.
- 802.11n mode. The band width is 20M, with a maximum speed of up to 130 Mbps(short preamble, with a maximum speed of up to 150 Mbps);The band width is 40M, with a maximum speed of up to 270 Mbps(short preamble, with a maximum speed of up to 300 Mbps).
- 802.11b/g mode. With a maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps.
- 802.11n/g mode. The band width is 20M, with a maximum speed of up to 130 Mbps(short preamble, with a maximum speed of up to 150 Mbps);The band width is 40M, with a maximum speed of up to 270 Mbps(short preamble, with a maximum speed of up to 300 Mbps).
- 802.11b/g/n mode. The band width is 20M, with a maximum speed of up to 130 Mbps(short preamble, with a maximum speed of up to 150 Mbps);The band width is 40M, with a maximum speed of up to 270 Mbps(short preamble, with a maximum speed of up to 300 Mbps).
The long preamble or short preamble can be setted from Advanced Wireless Settings.
- Channel
- This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point.
- Security Options
-
- None - no data encryption
- WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy, use WEP 64- or 128-bit data encryption
Note: Wi-Fi Protected Setup function is disabled when the security setting is WEP with Shared-Key authentication
- WPA-PSK [TKIP] - Wi-Fi Protected Access with Pre-Shared Key, use WPA-PSK standard encryption with TKIP encryption type
- WPA2-PSK [AES] - Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 with Pre-Shared Key, use WPA2-PSK standard encryption with the AES encryption type
- WPA-PSK [AES] + WPA2-PSK [AES] - Allow clients using either WPA-PSK [AES] or WPA2-PSK [AES]
To achieve the best performance with 11N wireless adapters under robust security network, we recommends that you change your network`s security option to WPA2-PSK.
- Security Encryption(WEP)
-
- Authentication Type
- Normally this can be left at the default value of Automatic. It can allow adapters use either Open System or Shared Key to do the authentication. If you want to have better secure authentication, then you can select Shared Key and you wireless adapters can only use Shared Key to connect to this network.
- Encryption Strength
- Select the WEP Encryption level:
- 64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption
- 128-bit encryption
- Security Encryption(WEP) Key
- Select which of the four keys will be used, and enter the matching WEP key information for your network in the selected key box.
- For 64-bit WEP - Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).
- For 128-bit WEP - Enter twenty-six hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).
- Security Encryption (WPA-PSK)
-
If selected, you must use TKIP encryption, and enter the WPA passphrase (Network key). Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. The Passphrase must be constituted of either 8 to 63 ASCII characters or exactly 64 hex digits. A hex digit is one of the following characters:
0, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
- Security Encryption (WPA2-PSK)
-
WPA2 is a newer version of WPA. Only select this if all the wireless clients in your network support WPA2. If selected, you must use AES encryption, and enter the WPA passphrase (Network key). Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. The Passphrase must be constituted of either 8 to 63 ASCII characters or exactly 64 hex digits. A hex digit is one of the following characters:
0, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
- Security Encryption (WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK)
-
This selection allows clients to use either WPA (with TKIP, broadcast packets also use TKIP.) or WPA2 (with AES). If selected, encryption must be TKIP + AES. The WPA passphrase (Network key) must also be entered. To reach maximum wireless performance, the 11N clients must connect to this router using WPA2-PSK(with AES) . For clients connecting in WPA-PSK( with TKIP), the maximum wireless speed will be at 802.11g. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. The Passphrase must be constituted of either 8 to 63 ASCII characters or exactly 64 hex digits. A hex digit is one of the following characters:
0, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, F.
