5.4. Wireless Settings - Basic In basic setting page, you can set wireless Radio, Mode, Band, SSID, and Channel. Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless. Mode: In this device, we support three operation modes which are AP router and AP route with WDS. If you choose AP Router Mode, you can select AP or WDS function in the drop-down menu. Band: You can select the wireless standards running on your network environment. 2.4 GHz(B): If all your clients are 802.11b, select this one. 2.4 GHz(N): If all your clients are 802.11n, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B+G): Either 802.11b or 802.11g wireless devices are in your environment. 2.4 GHz(G): If all your clients are 802.11g, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B+G+N): Either 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n wireless devices are in your environment. Enable ESSID: We support 4 multiple SSIDs in this device. Please select how many SSIDs you would like to use in your network environment.
34 ESSID1~4: ESSID is the name of your wireless network. It might be a unique name to identify this wireless device in the Wireless LAN. It is case sensitive and up to 32 printable characters. You might change the default ESSID for added security. Auto Channel: Device will search all valid channels, then select a cleanest channel and change to this channel if you enable this function. Depend on this function is enabled or not, you will see different items below Auto Channel. Channel: If Auto Channel is disabled, you should choose a static channel and AP will use this channel to communicate with other clients. Check Channel Time: If Auto Channel is enabled, you can choose a period from the drop-down menu. AP will change to a clean channel periodically.
- WDS with AP Router Wireless Distribution System, a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access point, allows a wireless network to be extended using multiple APs without a wired backbone to link them. Each WDS AP needs same channel and encryption type settings. MAC address 1~4: Please enter the MAC address(es) of the neighboring APs which participate in WDS. There can be maximum of 4 devices now. Set Security: WDS Security depends on your AP security settings. Note: it does not support mixed mode such as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed mode. - Advanced This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on the router.
36 Fragment Threshold: This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Beacon Interval: This is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. DTIM Period: Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
37 Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets. N Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate can be fixed. Channel Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies that will be used. Preamble Type: The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance. CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is transmitted. TX Power: This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.
- Security This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function, and are setup with the same security key. ESSID Selection: This Router support multiple ESSID, you could select and set up the wanted ESSID. Broadcast ESSID: If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this AP can discover this AP easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security. WMM: Wi-Fi MultiMedia if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in applications. Encryption: When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate ESR6650. Enable 802.1x Authentication
39 IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication. WEP Encryption When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then AP can receive any packet encrypted by one of the four keys.
40 Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key". Both AP and wireless client must be configured with the same authentication type. Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower. Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key. Default Key: It’s the key used to encrypt data. Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available.
