4.5.7 Wireless settings
4.5.7.1 Basic Wireless Settings
The wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your Company router.
Please note that changes made on 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 including:
WEP, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK. WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA
provides a higher level of security. WPA-PSK does not require an authentication server. The
WPA2-PSK option does require a RADIUS authentication server.
Through the basic wireless setting page, the user can control the ON/OFF status of Wi-Fi
function, and set up the 802.11 mode, Network Name (SSID) as well as Channel. Besides,
you can do the further settings related to the HT Physical Mode.
KORTEX PSI – KX Router 3G Pro User Manual V1.3
- 25 -
Wireless Network Settings:
Wi-Fi On/Off: This option turns on and off the wireless connection feature of the router.
Simply click on the WI-Fi ON / WI-Fi OFF button. The system will automatically detect the
current status of the router and switch the button accordingly.
Network Mode: There are 5 modes including, 802.11b/g mixed mode, 802.11b only,
802.11g only, 802.11/b/g/n mixed mode, and 802.11n only(2.4G) can be chosen.
Network Name (SSID): When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the
name that will appear in the list (unless you set it to Hidden, see below). This name is also
referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to change from the
pre-configured network name. Default is Default Wi-Fi.
Hidden: The option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this option is
unchecked, 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 you
click on this checkbox to enable this function, you must enter the Wireless Network Name
(SSID) on the client manually to connect to the network.
Multiple SSID 1 ~ 3: Up to three SSIDs you can additionally set up for this wireless network.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID): Enable/Disable the SSID broadcast function. This
function is used to control the broadcast status of all SSIDs. If this function is disabled, all
SSIDs you had set up for the router will be hidden. To cancel the hidden status for the
specific SSID, you can uncheck the “Hidden” option in the back of your desired SSID.
AP Isolation: Enable/Disable this function. Create a separate virtual network for your
wireless network. When this feature is enabled, each of your wireless clients will be in its own
virtual network and will not be able to communicate with each other. You may want to utilize
this feature if you have many guests that frequent your wireless network.
MBSSID AP Isolation: Enable/Disable the MBSSID AP Isolation function. The router
supports multiple SSIDs. You can decide whether the clients associated to different SSIDs
on the device can see each other or not. Enable the option to block it. Default is “Disable”.
Frequency (Channel): A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4GHz wireless
spectrum to handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have
interference from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the
performance and coverage of your wireless network. If you select AutoSelect, the router
automatically finds the channel with least interference and uses that channel for wireless
networking.

Rate: Exist only when selecting 802.11b/g mixed mode, 802.11b only, 802.11g only as the
Network Mode for the router. You can set up the desired transmitting rate for these network
modes. Default is Auto.
HT Physical Mode Settings: This mode settings exist only when 802.11b/g/n mixed mode
or 802.11n only (2.4G) is chosen as your router’s Network Mode.
Operating Mode: Select the option to enable the Mixed Mode or the Green Field Mode for
physical layer transceivers. Default: Mixed Mode.
Mixed mode: In this mode the device transmits the packets with preamble compatible
legacy (802.11g), so they can be decoded by legacy devices. The device receives and
decodes both Mixed Mode packets and legacy packets.
Green Field mode: The device transmits HT packets without legacy compatible part. But
the device receives and decodes both Green Field and legacy packets.
Channel BandWidth: This option only works when selecting Network mode in 11b/g/n
mixed mode and 11n mode. Select the option to choose 20 MHz or 20/40MHz. This option
affects the Phy data rate of radio. Please refer to the table below, which shows the
relationship among Phy data rate, Bandwidth and Guard Interval.
Guard Interval: The 11n device inserts the Guard Interval into the signal. You can choose
the interval between ”Long” and “Auto”. This option affects the Phy data rate of radio. For
more details, please refer to the table below.
MCS: It means “Modulation Coding Scheme”. The available options are “Auto, 0, 1, …15,
and 32”. It changes the modulation of this device and effect the maximum Phy data rate.
We recommend “Auto” setting. For more details, please refer to the table below.

Reverse Direction Grant (RDG): This is the 11n performance parameter. Enable it if
needed.
Extension Channel: Exist only when selecting “20/40” as the Channel BandWidth for the
router. For example, if channel 6 is selected, it means you can select channel 2 or channel
10 as the extension channel. Choose the unused channel as the extension channel.
Aggregation MSDU (A-MSDU): The multiple HT packets can be transmitted with single
ACK reply packet. Enable it to apply this function and reduce the network congestion.
Auto Block ACK: It is another aggregation technique which prevents sending ACK in the
communication to increase the throughput. If this option is enabled, the device will activate
this function when transmitting massive data.
Decline BA Request: Enable this option to decline the Block ACK request addressed by the
other devices.

4.5.7.2 Wireless Security/Encryption Settings
In this section, you can configure the wireless security and encryption to prevent from
unauthorized access and monitoring. Please choose a SSID you had created for this router
in the Wireless Settings Basic setting page from the SSID Choice pull-down list.
There are 4 encryption modes, including Disable, WEPAUTO (WEP), WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK offered for your selection. Please also pull down the Security Mode list and
select the desired mode for your router’s wireless security. For more details about the setup
in these different modes, please refer to the following sections.
The SSID select from multi-SSID setting. Security mode include: disable, wepauto, wpa-psk,
wpa2-psk
WEPAUTO (WEP) Mode
WEP is a method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the
same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain
access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you
create. When using WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The type of encryption
determines the key length. 128-bit encryption requires a longer key than 64-bit encryption.
Keys are defined by entering in a string in HEX (hexadecimal - using characters 0-9,
A-F(a-f)) or ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange - alphanumeric
characters) format. ASCII format is provided so you can enter a string that is easier to
remember. The ASCII string is converted to HEX for use over the network.
KORTEX PSI – KX Router 3G Pro User Manual V1.3
- 29 -
Examples:
- 64-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 10 characters in length. (12345678FA is a valid string
of 10 characters for 64-bit encryption.)
- 128-bit hexadecimal keys are exactly 26 characters in length.
(456FBCDF123400122225271730 is a valid string of 26 characters for 128-bit encryption.)
- 64-bit ASCII keys are up to 5 characters in length (DMODE is a valid string of 5 characters
for 64-bit encryption.)
- 128-bit ASCII keys are up to 13 characters in length (2002HALOSWIN1 is a valid string of
13 characters for 128-bit encryption.)
WEP Keys: Select “ASCII” or “Hex” from the pull-down list to set up the key value. ASCII

WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK Mode
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is the older standard; select this option if the clients that will
be used with the router only support the older standard. WPA2 is the newer implementation
of the stronger IEEE 802.11i security standard.
PSK (Pre-Shared Key) is the key which is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63
alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange)
format or 64 digits in HEX format at both ends of the wireless connection. When inputting
ASCII strings, it cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs
to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to
generate session keys that are unique for each wireless client.
WPA Algorithms: Mark the option to enable modes of TKIP or AES.
Pass Phrase: This mode requires only an access point and client station that supports
WPA-PSK. The WPA-PSK settings include Key Format, Length and Value. They must be as
same as each wireless client in your wireless network. When Key format is Passphrase, the
key value should have 8-63 ASCII characters or 64 digits in HEX format.
Key Renewal Interval: Enter a value to set up the WPA key renewal interval. The device
regenerates the key in every interval seconds that you have setup without disconnection.
The WPA Algorithm will regroup the key for a period. The default value is 3600 seconds, and
you can adjust the time interval (Valid Range: 0 ~ 4194303).

Chapter 5 FAQ
SIM Card Status shows “Not Ready”
It means the SIM card is not found, you can take SIM card out, and insert it again.
Signal Strength is normal, but can’t get WAN IP
Check the APN parameters in WAN settings.
Can’t visit the router from remote side
1) Make a ping to the WAN IP to check whether it is successful.
2) We are using 80 as router’s default port, but some ISP block the 80 port, you can confirm
with local ISP which ports are open, and change port to try.
LAN fails
1. Check RJ45 cable; make sure it is correctly connected.
2. Make sure the PC and router are in same network segment.
3. Disable the PC network card, and re-enable it.
4) Reset the router. Press Reset button for several seconds, it will load to factory settings.
Get WAN IP, but PC can’t access internet.
1. Check the DNS, you can make a ping to a normal IP (e.g. 8.8.8.8), if ping IP is ok, the
question must be caused by DNS.
2. Make sure the SIM card support data service, you can try it in your cell phone.
3. Signal is too weak. Move antenna or change position to get better signal.

Port forwarding not working
1) Check with ISP which ports are open by them.
2) More than 1 router. The most common problem we come across is people who are
behind 2 or more routers and don’t realize it. So here is a quick step by step.
Step 1. Login into your Router.
Step 2. Find the status page that shows the WAN/Internet IP address and write it down.
Step 3. Log into the first router/modem now.
Step 4. Find the DMZ page.
Step 5. Enter the IP you wrote down into the DMZ page and enable DMZ.
Step 6. Save and your done.
Thankfully it is easy to get port forwarding if this is happening. We simply tell the first router
to send all incoming connections to the 2nd router where the port forwarding rules are.
