3.1.3 Wireless Settings

3. Making Configuration

Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items.
Wireless Module: You can enable or disable wireless function.
Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client
stations can roam freely over this device and other Access Points that have the same Network
ID. (The factory default setting is “default”)
SSID Broadcast: The router will broadcast beacons that have some information, including
SSID so that wireless clients can know how many AP devices by scanning the network.
Therefore, if this setting is configured as “Disable”, the wireless clients can not find the device
from beacons.
Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory
Domain. The factory default setting is as the following: channel 6 for North America; channel 7
for European (ETSI); channel 7 for Japan.
Wireless Mode: Choose “B/G mixed”, “B only”, “G only”, “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N
mixed”. The factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed”.
Authentication mode: You may select one of the following authentications to secure your
wireless network: Open, Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2,
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.

26

AirLive GW-300NAS User’s Manual

3. Making Configuration

Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an
authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC address).
This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a success or
failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC address is
explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.

Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the authentication
process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is manually set on both
the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key authentication are available
today for home or small office WLAN environments.

Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.

WPA-PSK
Select Encryption and Pre-share Key Mode
If you select HEX, you have to fill in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits.
If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63.
Fill in the key, Ex 12345678

WPA
Check Box was used to switch the function of the WPA. When the WPA function is enabled,
the Wireless user must authenticate to this router first to use the Network service. RADIUS
