After the network connection is built, the next step you should do is setup VigorAP 800 with proper network parameters, so it can work properly in your network environment.

Before you can connect to the access point and start configuration procedures, your computer must be able to get an IP address automatically (use dynamic IP address). If it’s set to use static IP address, or you’re unsure, please follow the following instructions to configure your computer to use dynamic IP address:

Main SSID

There are six operation modes for wireless connection. Settings for each mode are different.

At present, VigorAP 800 can connect to 11b only, 11g only, 11n only, Mixed (11b+11g) and Mixed (11b+11g+11n) stations simultaneously. Simply choose Mixed (11b+11g+11n) mode.

Set a name for VigorAP 800 to be identified. Enable 2 Subnet (Simulate 2 APs) - Check the box to enable

the function for two independent subnets. Once you enable this function, LAN-A and LAN-B would be independent. Next, you can connect one router in LAN-A, and another router in LAN-B. Such mechanism can make you feeling that you have two independent AP/subnet functions in one VigorAP 800.

VigorAP 800 User’s Guide

If you disable this function, LAN-A and LAN-B ports are in the same domain. You could only connect one router (no matter connecting to LAN-A or LAN-B) in this environment.

Multiple SSID - When Enable 2 Subnet is enabled, you can specify subnet interface (LAN-A or LAN-B) for each SSID by using the drop down menu.

Item Description System

Configuration

VigorAP 800 User’s Guide

Profile Name -Type a name for the new profile. SSID - Type the name for such access point that can be used for

connection by the stations.

Network Type

 Infrastructure - In this mode, you can connect the access

point to Ethernet device such as TV and Game player to enable the Ethernet device as a wireless station and join to

a wireless network through an access point or AP router.

 802.11 Ad Hoc – An ad-hoc network is a network where

wireless stations can communicate with peer to peer (P2P).

Power Saving Mode - Choose the power saving mode for such device.

 CAM – Choose this item if it is not necessary to perform

power saving job.

 Power Saving Mode – Choose this item to get into the

power saving status when there is no data passing through the access point.

RTS Threshold- Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2347.

Fragment Threshold - Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify default value if you don’t know what it is, default value is 2346.

Security Mode

802.11 standard defines two mechanisms for authentication of wireless LAN clients: Open Authentication and Shared Key Authentication.

Choose one of the security modes from the drop down list. If you choose OPEN or SHARED, you have to type WEP information.

OPEN – Open authentication is basically null authentication algorithm, which means that there is no verification of the user.

SHARED – It works similar to Open authentication with only one major difference. If you choose OPEN with WEP encryption key, the WEP keys is used to encrypt and decrypt the data but not for authentication. In Shared key authentication, WEP encryption will be used for authentication.

If you choose WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal, the corresponding WPA settings will be listed as follows. You have to choose the WPA algorithms and type the pass phrase for such security mode.

WPA Algorithms – Choose Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) or AES for data encryption.

VigorAP 800 User’s Guide

Pass Phrase – Please type 8 to 63 alphanumerical characters here.

WEP

WEP Key Length - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a

common encryption mode. It is safe enough for home and personal use. However, if you need higher level of security, please consider using WPA encryption (see next section).

Some wireless clients do not support WPA, but support WEP. Therefore WEP is still a good choice for you if you have such kind of client in your network environment.

WEP Key Entry Method - There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Using 128-bit is safer than 64-bit, but it will reduce some data transfer performance.

There are two types of key method: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select 64-bit as key length, and Hex as key format, you’ll see the message at the right of Key Format is ‘Hex (10 characters) which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.

WEP Keys (Key 1 – Key 4) - Four keys can be entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The format of WEP Key is restricted to 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal values in 64-bit encryption level, or restricted to 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal values in 128-bit encryption level. The allowed content is the ASCII characters from 33(!) to 126(~) except '#' and ','. Such feature is available for WEP mode.
