Wireless
The section is where you configure the wireless settings for your Access Point. Please note that
changes made in this section may also need to be duplicated on your Wireless Client.
To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features.
This device supports three wireless security modes: WEP, WPA-Personal, and WPA-Enterprise.
WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA provides a higher level of security.
WPA-Personal does not require an authentication server. The WPA-Enterprise option does require
a RADIUS authentication server.
Enable Wireless Radio
This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the Access Point. When you set this
option, the following parameters are displayed.
Wireless Network Name
When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list
(unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, as described below). This name is also referred to as the
SSID. For security purposes, we highly recommend changing the pre-configured network name.
Visibility Status
The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is set to Visible,
your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you’re not
using encryption then they could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled, you
must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.
Auto Channel Select
If you select this option, the Access Point automatically finds the channel with least interference
and uses that channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, the Access Point uses the
channel that you specify with the following Channel options.
Channel
A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4 GHz wireless spectrum to handle
communication between clients. Some channels in your area may get interference from other
electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance and coverage of
your wireless network.
Transmission Rate
By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of selecting
the speed if necessary.
