WX-1x User Guide Version 1.3

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the Pakedge WX-1x 802.11ac Dual Band Access Point.

As the central component of your wireless network, the WX-1x provides you with high-speed, high-range
wireless AC networking. The WX-1x broadcasts on both the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band so that select devices
can choose their preferred source of wireless internet, improving the overall stability, reliability and
performance of the wireless network.

Each band (either 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz) of the WX-1x can operate in three modes:

• Access Point Mode: This is the typical configuration for most Wi-Fi networks, as shown below.

• WDS Bridge Mode: This mode is used to send wireless internet to a hardwired device when you

cannot use an Ethernet cable directly. Let’s say you have a desktop computer in an isolated
portion of an old home and can’t run a cable through the whole house to get internet to that
specific computer. When you put the WX-1x in bridge mode, it can receive a wireless signal from
an access point in root access point mode and send it to a client device through an Ethernet
connection.

WX-1x User Guide Version 1.3

• WDS Repeater – The repeater also receives wireless signal from another access point. However,

unlike a brige access point, a repeater access point sends out Wi-Fi so that client devices can
connect to it wirelessly.

The functionality of the WX-1x changes depending on its operating mode. This manual offers both
general and mode-specific content.

WX-1x User Guide Version 1.3

• Band Steering: Band steering steers 5Ghz capable clients to that frequency. By enabling this

function, the 2.4GHz SSID and settings will be copied to the 5GHz band.

• Operation Mode: Both the 2.4 and the 5 GHz band have the following operating modes: Access

Point, WDS Root Access Point, WDS Repeater and WDS Bridge.

o Access Point: Standard mode of operation. Allows a wireless connection to the LAN.

o WDS Root Access Point: The access point with this mode set will be the “root” device that

access points configured with WDS Repeater and WDS Bridge will connect to.

o WDS Repeater: This mode allows the access point to connect to a WDS Root Access Point.

This setting will take the SSID broadcasted by the WDS Root Access Point and rebroadcast it
to end user devices.

o WDS Bridge: This mode allows the access point to connect to a WDS Root Access Point. This

mode takes in the SSID broadcasted by the WDS Root Access Point and turns it into Ethernet
connectivity for client devicess.

• Wireless Mode: Choose the setting that corresponds to the type of wireless clients connected to your

network: B-Only, G-Only, B/G-Mixed, N/G-Mixed or B/G/N-Mixed (on the 2.4GHz) or A-Only, N-Only,
N/A-Mixed, AC-Only, AC/N-Mixed or A/AC/N-Mixed (on the 5GHz). If you aren’t sure which type(s) of
clients will access the wireless networks, it’s recommended to choose B/G/N-Mixed on the 2.4GHz
and A/AC/N-Mixed on the 5GHz for best performance.

NOTE: When set to a mixed mode, ALL devices connected to the wireless will use the

mode that is compatible for ALL devices. Example – If you have the 2.4GHz Wireless

set to B/G/N Mixed and all connected devices use G, the speeds will slow accordingly.

• Channel Mode: By default, the Channel Mode is set to HT 20 MHz (when using 2.4GHz) and HT 80

MHz (when using 5GHz). Selecting the HT 40 MHz channel mode on 2.4 GHz will allow for greater
speeds, but at the risk of also increasing interference.

o Example: When using the 20 MHz channel width on the 2.4GHz band, channel 6 would bleed

into channels 4, 5, 7 and 8 giving you three non-overlapping channels (1, 6 and 11). When
using 40MHz channel width on the 2.4GHz radio, channel 6 would bleed into channels 2, 3, 4,
5, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

• Channel – Using the default setting (Auto), the WX-1 automatically selects the channel with best

performance for the wireless network. To select a channel manually, click the drop-down list and
select a channel. The channel options available depend on the Country Code selected.

WX-1x User Guide Version 1.3

• AP Detection – Click “Scan” to perform an automatic site survey. A new window will open and

display the site survey utility. The WX-1 will scan the frequency for devices currently broadcasting
their SSID, and then will display them in the table.

Security Profiles

Under the Security Profiles tab, you will be able to configure security profiles for your SSIDs.

• Profile Name: Create a name for the security profile.

• Encryption: Select an encryption type for your security profile. The four available options are, No

Encryption, WPA PSK, WPA2 PSK, and WPA/WPA2 PSK.

o No Encryption: This will leave your profile without security (not recommended).

o WPA PSK: Password must be at least 8 characters long. This is a legacy encryption

protocol (not recommended).

o WPA2 PSK: Password must be at least 8 characters long. AES-only encryption.

(Recommended)

o WPA/WPA2 PSK: Password must be at least 8 characters long. This feature is also known

as Mixed Mode and uses TKIP encryption.

o WPA Enterprise/WPA2 Enterprise/WPA/WPA2 Enterprise: This mode is known as

802.1x authentication. You will need to add a RADIUS profile in RADIUS Server Tab. Please
go to the “RADIUS Server” section to learn the details.

WX-1x User Guide Version 1.3

NOTE: Passwords may only contain numbers and letters. Special characters are not

allowed. Examples of special characters: (!@#$%:;^&*).
