Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items.

Network ID(SSID)

Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client stations can roam freely over this product and other Access Points that have the same Network ID. The factory setting is default.

Channel

The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory Domain. The factory setting is 11.

Security setting

  1. None : Disable the encryption feature.

  2. WEP : Accept WEP clients only. WEP key must be entered manually. You must input 10 Hexadecimal digits for WEP 64 bit, or 26 Hexadecimal digits for WEP 128 bit
    • WEP Key 1, 2, 3 & 4: When you enable the 128 or 64 bit WEP key security, please select one WEP key to be used and input 26 or 10 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2...8, 9, A, B...F) digits.

  3. 802.1X and RADIUS : Accept normal clients and work simultaneously with RADIUS Server. The encryption key is got from RADIUS Server dynamically.
    • Encryption Key Length: You can select either 64 bits or 128 bits.
    • RADIUS Server IP: The 802.1X server's IP address.
    • RADIUS port: The 802.1X server's service port.
    • RADIUS Shared Key: Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.

  4. WPA-PSK : Accept WPA clients only and Pre-share key (encryption key) must be entered manually. You can input either 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits as Pre-share key.
    • Pre-share Key Mode: Either ASCII or HEX can be selected.
    • Pre-share Key: Please input either 8 to 63 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits as Pre-share key.

  5. WPA : Accept WPA clients only and work simultaneously with RADIUS Server. The encryption key is got from RADIUS Server dynamically.
    • RADIUS Server IP: The 802.1X server's IP address.
    • RADIUS port: The 802.1X server's service port.
    • RADIUS Shared Key: Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.

  6. WPA2-PSK(AES) : Accept WPA2 clients only and Pre-share key (encryption key) must be entered manually. You can input either 32 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits as Pre-share key.
    • Pre-share Key Mode: Either ASCII or HEX can be selected.
    • Pre-share Key: Please input either 32 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits as Pre-share key.

  7. WPA2(AES) : Accept WPA2 clients only and work simultaneously with RADIUS Server. The encryption key is got from RADIUS Server dynamically.
    • RADIUS Server IP: The 802.1X server's IP address.
    • RADIUS port: The 802.1X server's service port.
    • RADIUS Shared Key: Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.

  8. WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK : Accept WPA1 or WPA2 clients to connect simultaneously and Pre-share key (encryption key) must be entered manually. You can input either 32 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits as Pre-share key.
    • Pre-share Key Mode: Either ASCII or HEX can be selected.
    • Pre-share Key: Please input either 32 ASCII characters or 64 Hexadecimal digits as Pre-share key.

  9. WPA1/WPA2 : Accept WPA1 or WPA2 clients to connect simultaneously and work simultaneously with RADIUS Server. The encryption key is got from RADIUS Server dynamically.
    • RADIUS Server IP: The 802.1X server's IP address.
    • RADIUS port: The 802.1X server's service port.
    • RADIUS Shared Key: Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server.

Note: If you enable 802.1X or WPA feature, you must also have a RADIUS Server ready.

Description:

  • WEP Encryption: The WEP encrypts frames transmitted through wireless module using pre-entered WEP key. You can configure 4 key sets, and select one of them to apply.
  • WPA or WPA2 Encryption: Wi-Fi protected Access is designed to improve Data protection and implement access control for Wireless LAN system. It encrypts frames transmitted through wireless module using Pre-share key (PSK) or the key got dynamically from RADIUS Server.
  • 802.1X: When the 802.1X function is enabled, the Wireless user must authenticate to this router first to use the Network service. The most common method of implementing 802.1X is by having a RADIUS Server (contain an authentication database) on your LAN. So the router can work simultaneously with it and get user's authentication profile for compares.


Function of Buttons

    WDS... Wireless Distribution System is a system that enables the interconnection of access points wirelessly and allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the need for a wired backbone to link them.
    WPS... WPS is WiFi Protected Setup which is similar to WCN-NET and offers safe and easy way in Wireless connection.
