all Wi-Fi activity. Users will no longer be able to connect
wirelessly to your network.
Band: Select the compatible Wi-Fi standard and speed for your
wireless network

SSID to connect.
Data Rate: Sets the maximum wireless data rate that your
network will operate on.
Wireless Network ID (SSID): The name of your wireless network.
Channel Number: Wi-Fi networks operate on specific wireless
channels. Some network channels may have more interference than others. If your performance is unstable,
try a different channel number. If you are using a repeater with this network, it is recommended you set a

Wireless Settings: Basic Settings: Guest Networks
Guest Networks: You may add additional names (SSID) to your Wireless Network with different characteristics
for each SSID.
Each additional Network or SSID can have its own
security, band and data rate settings. You may
restrict users to specific SSIDs or provide access
only to some users with lower bandwidth by
changing the band (i.e. only allow 802.11b access
to specific users).
Guest Networks may also be set with restrictions
so that guests can only access the Internet and not the local network.
Associated Clients: View all computers and network devices that are connected to your network wirelessly.

The Security page allows you to change the type of wireless
security settings for your wireless network.
Using the drop down menu, you can select which network
you wish to configure and may adjust the security settings
below.
If you are using the Guest Network feature, you will be able
to adjust the security settings for your additional SSIDs as well.
Encryption Types:
WEP is rated as a low level encryption and is compatible with all wireless devices and operating systems.
Using WEP may slow down your wireless performance.
WPA is a medium level encryption and is supported by most wireless devices and operating systems.
WPA2 is a high level encryption and is supported by most wireless devices and operating systems.
WPA Mixed Mode allows the use of both WPA and WPA2 at the same time.
If you are not sure which encryption type to use, we recommend you choose WPA/WPA2 Mixed Mode.

Wireless Settings: Advanced Settings
Advanced Wireless Settings should only be
adjusted by technically advanced users. It is not
recommended that novice users adjust these
settings to avoid degrading wireless performance.
Fragment Threshold: The default and
recommended setting is at 2346, meaning the High
Power Router will never fragment any frames that
it sends to wireless users.
RTS Threshold: Adjusts the size of RTS data
packets. Lower values reduce throughput, but
allow the system to recover quicker from
interference/collisions. Higher values provide the
fastest throughput.
Beacon Interval: Indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router
to synch the wireless network.
