Chapter 5. AP Mode

In Soft AP mode, the adapter will work as an AP. Suppose that only one computer in your house can
access the Internet for various reasons like only one WLAN port is available on your wired
broadband router, h owever, other wireless-capab le devices also want to share t he Internet. Then
the adapter can be configured as an AP under the Soft AP mode, saving you the trouble of having to
get a separate access point or a router.

With this feature, a com puter can use a single p hysica l wireles s adapter to connect as a clien t to a
hardware access point while at the same time acting as a software AP allowing other
wireless-capable devices to connect to it.

To switch to this mode, right-click on the utility icon in your system tray and select Switch to SoftAP
mode.

Or from the Advanced page of the ut il ity, tick ON und er the S of tAP mode as shown in t he f ol lo wing

your AP can access the Internet.

 SSID: Enter the name for your soft AP (for example, Jone) so that others can know which AP is

yours when trying to connect to it.

 Security Type: The security t ype here is set t o be W PA2-P SK which is based on 802. 11i and

uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) instead of TKIP. It was designed to im prove the
security features of WEP. W PA2-PSK uses a p assphrase or key to authe nticate your wireless
connection. You needn’t make any configuration here.

 Encryption Type: The encryption type here is set to be AES.
 Security Code: Enter the Code in the field to make your AP security enabled. It is

recommended that you key in another instead of the default: 12345678. Only entering the
corresponding key can establish a successful connection between your AP other PCs.

 IP Address: Here displays the IP address of the SoftAP.

Having completed the above settings, click Apply; then Figure 5-4 will pop up, where you click OK

Appendix B: Gl ossary

 802.11a - Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using OFDM modulation and operating

in radio band at 5GHz.

 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless product networking at 11 Mbps using

direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio
spectrum at 2.4GHz, and W EP encryption for sec urity. 802.11b net works are also ref erred to as
Wi-Fi networks.

 802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM m odulation and operating in the unlicensed
radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP
encryption for security.

 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input

multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased
data throughput via s patial multiplexing and increas ed range by exploiting the spatial diversity,
perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium
(EWC) was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802. 11n development process and prom ote a
technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking
(WLAN) products.

 Ad hoc Network - An ad hoc network is a group of computers, e ach with a Wireless Adapter,

connected as an independent 802.11 wireless LAN. Ad hoc wireless computers operate on a
peer-to-peer basis, communicating directly with each other without the use of an access point. Ad
hoc mode is also referred to as an Independent Basic Service Set (IBSS) or as peer-to-peer mode,
and is useful at a departmental scale or SOHO operation.

 DSSS - (Direct-Sequence Spread Spectrum) - DSSS generates a redundant bit pattern for all data

transmitted. This bit pattern is called a chip (or chipping code). Even if one or more bits in the chip
are damaged during transmission, statistical techniques embedded in the receiver can recover the
original data without the need of retransmission. To an unintended receiver, DSSS appears as low
power wide band noise and is rejected ( ignored) by most narro wband receivers. However, to an
intended receiver (i.e. another wireless LAN endpoint), the DSSS signal is recognized as the only
valid signal, and interference is inherently rejected (ignored).

 FHSS - (Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum) - FHSS continu ously changes (h ops) the carrier

frequency of a conventional carrier several times per second according to a pseudo-random set of
channels. Because a fix ed frequenc y is not use d, and onl y the transm itter and rec eiver k now the
hop patterns, interception of FHSS is extremely difficult.

 Infrastructure Network - An infrastructure network is a group of computers or other devices,

each with a W ireless Adapter, c onnected as an 802. 11 wireles s LAN. In infrastruc ture m ode, the
wireless devices com municate with eac h other and to a wired network b y first going through a n
access point. An inf rastruc ture wireless network connec ted to a wir ed net work is ref erred to as a
Basic Service Set (BSS). A set of two or more BSS in a single network is referred to as an

42

Wireless Dual Band USB Adapter RNX-N600UB User Manual

Extended Service Set (E SS). Infrastructure mode is usef ul at a corporation scale, or when it is
necessary to connect the wired and wireless networks.

 Spread Spectrum - Spread Spectrum technology is a wideband radio frequency technique

developed by the military for use in reliable, secure, mission-critical communications systems. It is
designed to trade off bandwidth efficiency for reliability, integrit y, and security. In other words,
more bandwidth is consumed than in the case of narrowband transmission, but the trade off
produces a signal t hat is, in effect, louder and thus easier to detect, pro vided that the receiver
knows the parameters of the spread-spectrum signal being broadcast. If a receiver is not tuned to
the right frequency, a s pread-spectrum signal look s like background noise. T here are two main
alternatives, Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) and Frequency Hopping Spread
Spectrum (FHSS).

 SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key

identifying a wireless loc al area network. For the wireles s devices in a network to com municate
with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the
configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless
Access Point and to the wireless network name. See also Wireless Network Name and ESSID.

 WEP - (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy m echanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or

152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard. To gain access to a WEP
network, you must know th e key. The key is a string of charact ers that you create. When using
WEP, you must determine the level of encryption. The t ype 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) or ASCII (American
Standard Code for I nformation Interchange – alphanumeric characters) format. ASCII form at is
provided so you can ent er a string that is easier to re member. The ASCII string is converted to
HEX for use over the network. Four keys can be defined so that you can change keys easily.

 Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless

Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group
promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.

 WLAN - (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices

communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.

 WPA - (Wi-Fi Protected Access) - A wireless secur it y protoc ol us es TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity

Protocol) encryption, which can be used in conjunction with a RADIUS server.
