3.7 WLAN Setup
Wireless Access Point builds a wireless LAN and can let all PCs
equipped with IEEE802.11g and 802.11b wireless network adaptor
connect to your Intranet.
1 3.7.1 Basic Settings
The basic settings for the wireless network are set on this page. You
can set parameters that are used for the wireless stations to connect
to this router.
Page 29 of 57
Page 30
Wireless Router
Band: The options are 2.4GHz(B+G), 2.4GHz(B), and 2.4GHz(G).
Select the desired wireless Band.
2.4 GHz(B+G)- Both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless stations can
connect to the router.
2.4 GHz( B)- Only 802.11b wireless stations can connect to the
router.
2.4 GHz( G)- Only 802.11g wireless stations can connect to the
router.
Mode: The options are AP, WDS, and AP+WDS, Select the desired
wireless Mode.
SSID: An SSID is the name of a wireless local area network (WLAN).
All wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order
Page 30 of 57
Page 31
Wireless Router
to communicate with each other. SSIDs are case sensitive text
strings. The SSID is a sequence of alphanumeric characters (letters
or numbers). SSIDs have a maximum length of 32 characters. The
default SSID is wealnet, but it is recommended strongly that you
change your network name (SSID) to a different value.
Channel: This field determines which operating frequency will be
used. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you
notice interference problems with another nearby access point. All
devices in the same wireless LAN should use the same channel.
3.7.2 Advanced Setup
These settings are only for more technically advanced users who
have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings
should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will
have on your Access Point.
Page 31 of 57
Page 32
Wireless Router
Authentication Type: You can select one of the following
authentication types:
Open Sytem: Select 802.11 Open System authentication
Shared Key: Select 802.11 Shared Key authentication
Auto: Select Shared key or Open System authentication type
automatically based on the wireless station request.
Fragment Threshold: The fragmentation threshold is a way of
limiting the size of packets (frames) transmitted over the network. If a
packet exceeds the fragmentation threshold set here, the
fragmentation function will be activated and the packet will be sent as
multiple 802.11 frames. The default is 2346.
RTS Threshold: The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of a
request to send (RTS) transmission. This helps control traffic flow
through the access point, especially one with a lot of clients. The
default is 2347.
Beacon Interval: Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point
at regular intervals to announce the existence of the wireless
network. The default behavior is to send a beacon frame once every
100 milliseconds (or 10 per second).
Date Rate: indicate rates that the access point will advertise to the
Page 32 of 57
Page 33
Wireless Router
network for the purposes of setting up communication with other APs
and client stations on the network. It is generally more efficient to
have an AP broadcast a subset of its supported rate sets.
Preamble Type: It defines the length of CRC block in the frames
during the wireless Communication. "Short Preamble" is suitable for
heavy traffic wireless network. "Long Preamble" provides much
communication reliability.
SSID Broadcast: The router automatically transmit their network
name (SSID) into open air at regular intervals (every few seconds).
This feature of the Routernet is intended to allow clients to
dynamically discover and roam between WLANs. However, this
feature also makes it easier for hackers to break into your home
network. Because SSIDs are not encrypted or otherwise scrambled, it
becomes easy to grab one by snooping the WLAN looking for SSID
broadcast messages coming from the router or AP. Knowing your
SSID brings hackers one step closer to a successful intrusion. So you
should disable this feature to improve the security of your WLAN.
Once your wireless clients are manually configured with the right
SSID, they no longer require these broadcast messages.
IAPP: Inter-Access Point Protocol (IAPP) is being standardized by
Page 33 of 57
Page 34
Wireless Router
IEEE 802.11F as well as the IETF SEAMOBY WG. IAPP enables
seamless, authenticated fast handoff between 802.11 Access Points.
RF Output Power: There are five options: 100%,50%,25%,10%,5%
1 3.7.3 Security
The wireless station will be able to connect the router without
encryption. It is recommended strongly that you choose this optional
to encrypt your wireless network. The Security Mode are None, Wep,
and WPA/WPA2/Mixed. You have to setup the same security

encryption than WEP.
WPA Type: Enter the P Address of Radius Server.
WPA Authentication Mode: Keys can be managed using two
different mechanisms. WPA can either use an external authentication
server (e.g., RADIUS) and EAP just like IEEE 802.1X is using or pre-
shared keys without need for additional servers. Wi-Fi calls these
"WPA-Enterprise" and "WPA-Personal", respectively. Both
mechanisms will generate a master session key for the Authenticator
(AP) and Supplicant (client station).
