Wireless Networking Overview:

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

Identifying a WLAN

Encryption

Automatic Rate Selection and Rate Scaling

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network in one location. Computers at that location can share files, printers, and other
services. In a LAN, a networked computer that requests services is called a client. A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is
a type of LAN that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among the networked
computers and devices. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a
wired LAN.

In a WLAN, wireless adapters are installed in computers, also called wireless clients. The adapter allows the wireless client to
communicate with the WLAN without cables. Instead, wireless clients send and receive information through a path in the air
called a channel.

The standards for a WLAN are based on the IEEE 802.11b standard and IEEE 802.11g standard. All Dell 802.11b/g - compliant
devices interoperate with other 802.11b/g -compliant wireless devices from other vendors. The WiFi certification logo indicates
that the wireless device has been tested by an independent organization.

A wireless client operates in either infrastructure mode or peer- to-peer mode.

Back to Top

Identifying a WLAN

An ESSID and BSSID are both Service Set Identifiers (SSID) that identify and control the wireless client’s access to a given
WLAN. The SSID is sometimes referred to as the network name. The SSID indicates what WLAN you are referring to. In most
cases, the user interface displays the SSID.

When installing an access point or wireless adapter in a wireless client, the installation program asks you to enter the SSID.
Dell cannot provide you with this information, as it is specific to your network; but you may choose to use the default SSID,
wireless, for your Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router. All wireless clients and access points in a WLAN must use the same
network name.

Back to Top

Encryption

In a WLAN, wireless clients and access points send and receive information through the air. Without implementing security, it is
possible for an unauthorized person to intercept the information.

A common way of implementing security and protecting information is encryption. Encryption applies a set of instructions, called
an algorithm, to information. The instructions combine the plain or clear text of the information with a sequence of hexadecimal

numbers, called an encryption key.

Before transmitting information over the airwaves, the wireless client or access point encrypts or scrambles the information.
The access point or wireless client receiving the information uses the same key to decrypt or unscramble the information. The
information is only readable to WLAN devices that have the correct encryption key. The longer the key is, the stronger the
encryption.

The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi- Fi Protected Access
(WPA).

WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides a way of creating an encrypted key that is shared between a wireless client (such as
a notebook with a wireless PC card) and the router. In the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router, WEP is an optional feature
that can be enabled or disabled. When WEP encryption is enabled, you must set the WEP key in the client to match the WEP
key used by the access point because you can ONLY connect to access points that have a matching WEP Key.

NOTE:It is better to change keys frequently. The same algorithm is used for all the communications that should be

protected. If the same key is used, the same message will give exactly the same cipher text. Then, it will be
possible for an eavesdropper to break the encrypted data. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to change
keys often.

There are two WEP encryption methods:

40(64)- bit Encryption

·

104(128) -bit Encryption

·

40- bit and 64 -bit encryption are identical. Some vendors use the term 40-bit; others use 64-bit. A wireless device that claims to
have 40-bit encryption interoperates with a device that claims to have 64-bit encryption; the same is true for the reverse. A
40(64)- bit key consists of 10 hexadecimal numbers, arrayed as follows:

Key #1: 1011121314
Key #2: 2021222324
Key #3: 3031323334
Key #4: 4041424344

A 104(128)-bit key has several trillion times as many possible combinations than a 40(64) - bit key. It consists of 26 hexadecimal
numbers, arrayed as follows:

Key (#1): 101112131415161718191A1B1C

All wireless clients and access points in a WLAN must use the same encryption method and key. The following two examples
stress how important this point is.

Example 1

The encryption method for an access point is 40(64)- bit. The method for a wireless client is 104(128)-bit encryption. The client
and access point cannot communicate with each other, even though the selected key is the same. To resolve this problem, set
the access point to use 104(128) -bit encryption.

Example 2

The encryption method is the same for the access point and wireless client. You select key 1 for the access point and key 2
for the wireless client. The wireless client cannot communicate with the WLAN. To resolve this problem, select key 1 for the
wireless client.

NOTE:Use the same key and encryption method for the wireless devices in the WLAN. Otherwise, they cannot

communicate with each other.

The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router uses either hexadecimal digits or ASCII characters to create encryption keys.
Hexadecimal digits include the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F
in the hexadecimal numbering system.

ASCII is the acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Pronounced ask-ee, ASCII is a code for

representing English characters as numbers, with each letter assigned a number from 0 to 127. For example, the ASCII code

for uppercase M is 77. Most computers use ASCII codes to represent text, which makes it possible to transfer data from one
computer to another.

WPA

WPA (Wi - Fi Protected Access) is an upgrade to the WEP standard for securing your wireless network. WPA is derived from
and will be forward-compatible with the future IEEE 802.11i standard. It provides improved data encryption and user
authentication.

To enhance the level of security, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption to address the vulnerabilities
of the static keys used in WEP. TKIP includes four algorithms: Message Integrity Check (MIC), to protect packets from
tampering; Per-Packet Key (PPK) hashing, to prevent weak key attacks; extended Initialization Vector (IV), to reduce IV
reuse and the possibility that a hacker will collect sufficient packets to crack the encryption; and a re- keying mechanism, to
change the temporal key dynamically. TKIP is the most commonly used encryption method; however, if your wireless clients do
not support TKIP, the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router also supports Advanced Encryption Security (AES) encryption.
AES will replace 802.11's RC4- based encryption under the 802.11i specification. AES, the gold- standard encryption algorithm,
provides maximum security for a wireless network.

For wireless client authentication, WPA adopts an authentication scheme through 802.1x. 802.1x provides a framework for user
authentication and a key distribution management method. 802.1x consists of three main elements: an Authentication Server
(typically a RADIUS server), WPA -enabled router or AP (called Authenticator), and a WPA- enabled client (called Supplicant).

802.1x ensures only authorized users can access the network.
In enterprises, WPA will be used in conjunction with both a wireless router and authentication server. In a Small Office/Home

Office (SOHO) environment, where there is no authentication server, users can use Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode in place of
the authentication server. The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router offers you WPA running in PSK mode. The mutual
authentication and improved encryption technology of WPA allows wireless communication to achieve greater security.

Automatic Rate Selection and Rate Scaling

In 802.11g, wireless network adapters and access points can transmit data at one of the following rates: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12,
9, or 6 Mbps. In 802.11b, the data can be transmitted at a rate of 11, 5.5, 2, or 1 Mbps. As the distance between an adapter
and access point increases or decreases, the data rate automatically changes. Other factors, like interference, also affect the
data rate. The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router uses automatic rate selection and rate scaling to determine the most
efficient rate of communication. Rate scaling maintains optimal communication between wireless clients and the Dell Wireless
2350 Broadband Router.

other limited warranties: For the first 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the

first year of all other limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware
products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are

If we determine that the product is not covered under this warranty, we will notify you
and inform you of service alternatives that are available to you on a fee basis.

NOTE:Before you ship the product(s) to us, make sure to back up the data on the

hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). Remove any
confidential, proprietary, or personal information and removable media such as
floppy disks, CDs, or PC Cards. We are not responsible for any of your
confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or
damaged or lost removable media.

During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will
replace any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be
replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you
request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long
as you return the original part to us within thirty days after we ship the replacement part
to you. If we do not receive the original part within thirty days, we will charge to your
credit card the then-current standard price for that part.

We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding
Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight
collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for
your use in returning the replaced part to us.

Access Point

An Access Point is a device on the wireless network that receives and retransmits data. It allows computers with wireless
network adapters to be connected, typically, to an Ethernet network.

Cable Modem

A cable modem is a device that enables you to hook up your computer to the Internet via a local cable TV line.

Client

A client is a computer on a network.

Domain Name System (or Service) (DNS)

DNS is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. A DNS server keeps a database of host
computers, their respective domain names, and IP addresses. When a domain name is requested, the DNS server uses this
table to send the user to the proper IP address.

The DNS system is really its own network. If one DNS server doesn't know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks
another one, and so on, until the correct IP address is returned.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP)

DHCP is the process of automatically configuring the TCP/IP settings for every computer on a network.

Encryption

Encryption is a common way of implementing security and protecting information. Encryption applies a set of instructions, called
an algorithm, to information. The instructions combine the plain or clear text of information with a sequence of hexadecimal
numbers, called an encryption key.

Before transmitting information over the airwaves, the wireless client or Access Point encrypts or scrambles the information.
The Access Point or wireless client receiving the information uses the same key to decrypt or unscramble the information. The
information is only readable to WLAN devices that have the correct encryption key. The longer the key is, the stronger the
encryption. All wireless clients and Access Points in a WLAN must use the same encryption method and key. An 802.11­compliant wireless network has Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) technologies for wireless
security.

Ethernet

Ethernet is the most widely used local area networking technology. It is an industry -wide standard originally developed by
Xerox and formalized in 1980 by DEC, Intel, and Xerox. Ethernet networks transmit data at 10/100 Mbps using a specified

protocol.

Ethernet Address (MAC Address)

An Ethernet address is a unique, pre -programmed address, sometimes referred to as a media access control (MAC) address.

Network Address Translation (NAT)

Each computer on an Ethernet network has its own Ethernet address. This 12 -digit hexadecimal address is encoded into the
circuitry of the computer’s network adapter when it is manufactured. Other devices on the network use this address to identify
the computer. This address is not the same as the
networks, the IP address is associated with the MAC address to enable network communication.

IP address that is assigned to computers on TCP/IP networks. On these

Host

A host is any device that is connected to the network; for example, a computer, network printer, or router. Each host has a
unique name (called "Host Name") or IP address (called "Host IP") for identification on the network.

Internet Protocol (IP)

IP is the protocol used to send data from one computer to another over the Internet. The IP protocol describes how Internet
computers keep track of the
another.

IP address of each computer on the network and route packets of data from one IP address to

Internet Service Provider (ISP)

An ISP is a company that provides individuals and other companies access to the Internet and other related services such as
website building and virtual hosting. An ISP has the equipment and the telecommunication line access required to have POP on
the Internet for the geographic area served. The larger ISPs have their own high -speed leased lines so that they are less
dependent on the telecommunication providers and can provide better service to their customers.

IP Address

An IP address provides unique identification for each computer on the Internet or on a local network. IP addresses are usually
expressed as a group of four numbers separated by periods, for example, 169.254.10.2. None of the numbers can be greater
than 255. Each Ethernet interface has an IP address. For the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router, there is a
interface and a

WAN Ethernet interface; hence, there is a LAN IP address and a WAN IP address.

LAN Ethernet

Link Light

A link light is a light on a network device that indicates a good network connection. Hubs typically have a link light for each
port; although, they may not be labelled as such, and the lights may show other information. These lights often blink for
network activity. Some hubs display different colored lights for 10 Mbps and 100 Mbps. For more information, see the
documentation accompanying your product.

Local Area Network (LAN)

A LAN is a network in one location. The network lets users at that location share files, printers and other services. See WAN.

Network Adapter

A network adapter is a device expansion card that provides the physical connection between a computer and the network.
There are many types of adapters. They include PC cards for laptops (a card that fits into a slot on your computer, like you
might install a sound card or modem card) and embedded cards, embedded USB adapters, USB dongle adapters, and USB
desktop adapters. Some newer computers have a network adapter already built into the system. PC cards or cards that fit into
a slot in the desktop are sometimes referred to as network interface cards, or NICs.

NAT occurs when multiple IP addresses on a private LAN are converted to one public address. This public address is sent out
to the Internet. NAT adds a level of security because the IP address for a computer connected to the private LAN is never
transmitted to the Internet. NAT also allows xDSL/cable routers to be used with low-cost Internet accounts, where only one

TCP/IP address is provided by the Internet service provider. The user may have many private addresses masked by the single

address provided by the ISP. NAT prevents denial of service (DoS) from external networks on internal hosts.

Network Name (SSID)

Access Points are grouped together by an identifier called an ESSID. The ESSID is also referred to as a Net ID. This identifier

is a combination of any letters or numbers that are appropriate for the network environment. ESSID is specifically for Access
Points. When you talk about peer- to-peer networks, you cannot use the term ESSID.

Service Set Identifier (SSID) is more generic and is a 32-character name that uniquely identifies all the computers and
equipments that make up a wireless network. A type of SSID is ESSID. Another type of SSID is Basic Service Set Identifier
(BSSID). The BSSID is the

MAC address of a wireless adapter or Access Point.

Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE)

PPPoE is the methodology of authenticating or validating a user or equipment to an Internet service provider, usually via a
username and/or password. It is a selection or action that reconfigures a device to the default parameters, as it was originally
manufactured.

Port

A port is a connector on a networking device used to attach the network cable. Hubs and switches have numerous ports that
connect to computers on the network.

Protocol

Protocol refers to a set of rules for sending and receiving information on a network. The rules determine the format of the data
that is transmitted and other aspects of networking, such as how errors are detected and corrected. The protocol driver in each
computer is software that adheres to these rules when sending and receiving information. These drivers are also often called
protocols.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

TCP/IP refers to the protocol that computers use to communicate over the Internet. TCP determines how a computer breaks up
data into small units, called "packets," to be sent to another computer and how the receiving computer reassembles the
packets into a single file. IP determines how the packets are routed across the Internet.

See Internet Protocol.

Virtual Local Area Network (VLAN)

A VLAN is a network of computers that behave as if they are connected to the same wire, even though they may be physically
located on different segments of a LAN. VLANs are configured through software rather than hardware, which makes them
extremely flexible. When a computer on a VLAN is physically moved to another location, it can stay on the same VLAN without
any hardware reconfigurations.

Virtual Server

A virtual server is a device that performs Internet protocol (IP) mapping. IP mapping allows remote client access to your
network via the Internet.

Wide Area Network (WAN)

A WAN is a communications network that uses devices such as telephone lines, satellite dishes, or radio waves to span a
larger geographic area than can be covered by a

LAN.

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

A WLAN is a type of Local Area Network (LAN) that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and
transmit data among the network clients and devices. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension
to, or as an alternative for, a wired LAN. Just like a LAN, the network lets users at that location share files, printers and other
services.

xDSL Modem

DSL is a type of service that allows people to access the Internet via their telephone lines. This service is typically available via
a telephone company or service provider.

An xDSL connection is a high- speed digital connection to the Internet using standard copper twisted pair telephone wires.
There are several kinds of DSL; the x refers to all of them.

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

Identifying a WLAN

Encryption

Automatic Rate Selection and Rate Scaling

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN)

A Local Area Network (LAN) is a network in one location. Computers at that location can share files, printers, and other
services. In a LAN, a networked computer that requests services is called a client. A Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) is
a type of LAN that uses high frequency radio waves rather than wires to communicate and transmit data among the networked
computers and devices. It is a flexible data communication system implemented as an extension to, or as an alternative for, a
wired LAN.

In a WLAN, wireless adapters are installed in computers, also called wireless clients. The adapter allows the wireless client to
communicate with the WLAN without cables. Instead, wireless clients send and receive information through a path in the air
called a channel.

The standards for a WLAN are based on the IEEE 802.11b standard and IEEE 802.11g standard. All Dell 802.11b/g - compliant
devices interoperate with other 802.11b/g -compliant wireless devices from other vendors. The WiFi certification logo indicates
that the wireless device has been tested by an independent organization.

A wireless client operates in either infrastructure mode or peer- to-peer mode.

Back to Top

Identifying a WLAN

An ESSID and BSSID are both Service Set Identifiers (SSID) that identify and control the wireless client’s access to a given
WLAN. The SSID is sometimes referred to as the network name. The SSID indicates what WLAN you are referring to. In most
cases, the user interface displays the SSID.

When installing an access point or wireless adapter in a wireless client, the installation program asks you to enter the SSID.
Dell cannot provide you with this information, as it is specific to your network; but you may choose to use the default SSID,
wireless, for your Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router. All wireless clients and access points in a WLAN must use the same
network name.

Back to Top

Encryption

In a WLAN, wireless clients and access points send and receive information through the air. Without implementing security, it is
possible for an unauthorized person to intercept the information.

A common way of implementing security and protecting information is encryption. Encryption applies a set of instructions, called
an algorithm, to information. The instructions combine the plain or clear text of the information with a sequence of hexadecimal

numbers, called an encryption key.

Before transmitting information over the airwaves, the wireless client or access point encrypts or scrambles the information.
The access point or wireless client receiving the information uses the same key to decrypt or unscramble the information. The
information is only readable to WLAN devices that have the correct encryption key. The longer the key is, the stronger the
encryption.

The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router supports both Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi- Fi Protected Access
(WPA).

WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) provides a way of creating an encrypted key that is shared between a wireless client (such as
a notebook with a wireless PC card) and the router. In the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router, WEP is an optional feature
that can be enabled or disabled. When WEP encryption is enabled, you must set the WEP key in the client to match the WEP
key used by the access point because you can ONLY connect to access points that have a matching WEP Key.

NOTE:It is better to change keys frequently. The same algorithm is used for all the communications that should be

protected. If the same key is used, the same message will give exactly the same cipher text. Then, it will be
possible for an eavesdropper to break the encrypted data. For this reason, it is strongly recommended to change
keys often.

There are two WEP encryption methods:

40(64)- bit Encryption

·

104(128) -bit Encryption

·

40- bit and 64 -bit encryption are identical. Some vendors use the term 40-bit; others use 64-bit. A wireless device that claims to
have 40-bit encryption interoperates with a device that claims to have 64-bit encryption; the same is true for the reverse. A
40(64)- bit key consists of 10 hexadecimal numbers, arrayed as follows:

Key #1: 1011121314
Key #2: 2021222324
Key #3: 3031323334
Key #4: 4041424344

A 104(128)-bit key has several trillion times as many possible combinations than a 40(64) - bit key. It consists of 26 hexadecimal
numbers, arrayed as follows:

Key (#1): 101112131415161718191A1B1C

All wireless clients and access points in a WLAN must use the same encryption method and key. The following two examples
stress how important this point is.

Example 1

The encryption method for an access point is 40(64)- bit. The method for a wireless client is 104(128)-bit encryption. The client
and access point cannot communicate with each other, even though the selected key is the same. To resolve this problem, set
the access point to use 104(128) -bit encryption.

Example 2

The encryption method is the same for the access point and wireless client. You select key 1 for the access point and key 2
for the wireless client. The wireless client cannot communicate with the WLAN. To resolve this problem, select key 1 for the
wireless client.

NOTE:Use the same key and encryption method for the wireless devices in the WLAN. Otherwise, they cannot

communicate with each other.

The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router uses either hexadecimal digits or ASCII characters to create encryption keys.
Hexadecimal digits include the numbers 0 to 9 and the letters A to F. For example, the decimal number 15 is represented as F
in the hexadecimal numbering system.

ASCII is the acronym for the American Standard Code for Information Interchange. Pronounced ask-ee, ASCII is a code for

representing English characters as numbers, with each letter assigned a number from 0 to 127. For example, the ASCII code

for uppercase M is 77. Most computers use ASCII codes to represent text, which makes it possible to transfer data from one
computer to another.

WPA

WPA (Wi - Fi Protected Access) is an upgrade to the WEP standard for securing your wireless network. WPA is derived from
and will be forward-compatible with the future IEEE 802.11i standard. It provides improved data encryption and user
authentication.

To enhance the level of security, WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption to address the vulnerabilities
of the static keys used in WEP. TKIP includes four algorithms: Message Integrity Check (MIC), to protect packets from
tampering; Per-Packet Key (PPK) hashing, to prevent weak key attacks; extended Initialization Vector (IV), to reduce IV
reuse and the possibility that a hacker will collect sufficient packets to crack the encryption; and a re- keying mechanism, to
change the temporal key dynamically. TKIP is the most commonly used encryption method; however, if your wireless clients do
not support TKIP, the Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router also supports Advanced Encryption Security (AES) encryption.
AES will replace 802.11's RC4- based encryption under the 802.11i specification. AES, the gold- standard encryption algorithm,
provides maximum security for a wireless network.

For wireless client authentication, WPA adopts an authentication scheme through 802.1x. 802.1x provides a framework for user
authentication and a key distribution management method. 802.1x consists of three main elements: an Authentication Server
(typically a RADIUS server), WPA -enabled router or AP (called Authenticator), and a WPA- enabled client (called Supplicant).

802.1x ensures only authorized users can access the network.
In enterprises, WPA will be used in conjunction with both a wireless router and authentication server. In a Small Office/Home

Office (SOHO) environment, where there is no authentication server, users can use Pre-Shared Key (PSK) mode in place of
the authentication server. The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router offers you WPA running in PSK mode. The mutual
authentication and improved encryption technology of WPA allows wireless communication to achieve greater security.

Back to Top

Automatic Rate Selection and Rate Scaling

In 802.11g, wireless network adapters and access points can transmit data at one of the following rates: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12,
9, or 6 Mbps. In 802.11b, the data can be transmitted at a rate of 11, 5.5, 2, or 1 Mbps. As the distance between an adapter
and access point increases or decreases, the data rate automatically changes. Other factors, like interference, also affect the
data rate. The Dell Wireless 2350 Broadband Router uses automatic rate selection and rate scaling to determine the most
efficient rate of communication. Rate scaling maintains optimal communication between wireless clients and the Dell Wireless
2350 Broadband Router.

WPA is an upgrade to the WEP standard for securing your wireless network.
If you would like to secure your wireless network using WPA, you must have WPA support for your wireless clients. If you are

using a Dell Wireless client, you can check for the availability of a WPA- enabled software update for your wireless client at

http://support.dell.com.
