Chapter 1 Introduction Page 2
Typical Application
The IEEE802.11n (Draft 2.0) 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Router can be configured in a variety of
network system configurations.
Wireless Infrastructure
In a wireless infrastructure, the IEEE 802.11n (Draft 2.0) 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Router can
act as an Access Point with repeater. The Access Point connects the wireless clients together. The
Access Point acts as a center point for all wireless communications. This would increase efficiency
of the communications since the wireless adapters do not need to be within direct range of each
other.
Wireless Infrastructure with Stations Attaching to a Wired LAN
The IEEE 802.11n (Draft 2.0) 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband Router will provide access to your local
LAN. An integrated wireless and wired LAN is called an Infrastructure configuration. A group of
wireless LAN PC users and an Access Point construct a Basic Service Set (BSS). Each wireless
PC in this BSS can talk to any computer on your network via the Access Point.
Connecting the Wireless LAN Micro Access Point to your network
Connecting with Cable/DSL mode, the IEEE 802.11n (Draft 2.0) 2.4GHz Wireless Broadband
Router provides you high speed broadband-sharing gateway. A typical Internet access application
of the Wireless LAN Access Point is shown below:

Wireless Settings
Basic
Your wireless settings will impact the coverage and the performance of your wireless LAN. The
wireless settings allow you to set the following configuration items:
AP Mode
You can configure the Wireless Broadband Router to AP Mode to be an Access Point of the real
world. When set to AP Mode, you can configure the SSID, Channel Number, Broadcast SSID,
and Multiple AP.
Figure 12 Wireless Basic Settings
Disable Wireless LAN Interface:
Select this check box to disable the wireless Radio.
Band:
Select the wireless band from drop-down list. There are 2.4GHz (B), 2.4GHz (G), 2.4GHz (N),
Chapter 4 Advance Settings Page 13
2.4GHz (B+G), 2.4GHz (G+N), and 2.4GHz (B+G+N) six options to be selected.
Mode:
You may select the Mode from the drop-down list. The options are AP, Client, WDS, and
AP+WDS.
Multiple AP:
The device support multiple SSID, press Multiple AP button to configure the settings.
SSID:
Network ID is used for identifying the wireless LAN (WLAN). Client stations can roam freely
using this product and other Access Points that have the same Network ID. (The factory setting
is “Wireless”.)
Channel Width:
Specify the wireless channel bandwidth mode. Select 20MHz to set the device to transmit at up
to 20MHz to other wireless device (including draft-N compatible wireless devices). Select
40MHz to set the device to transmit at up to 40MHz to other wireless device.
Control Sideband:
This option is for 802.11n only, when the select to 2.4GHz (N), 2.4GHz (G+N), or 2.4GHz
(B+G+N), the option can be configured. When Channel Width is 20MHz, then the Control
Sideband is display only, and the Channel Number will be 1~11 (1~13 for ETSI domain). When
Channel Width is 40MHz, you can configure the Control Sideba nd to Upper or Lower. If
Control Sideband is Upper, the Channel Number will be 5~11 (5~13 for ETSI domain); if
Control Sideband is Lower, the Channel Number will be 1~9.
Channel Number:
The permissible radio channels range from channel 1 to 11 (1~13 for ETSI domain), default is
11, depending on the regulatory domain. For restrictions please refer to the first page of this
manual.
Broadcast SSID:
You can also do something to logically hide the Access Point. Disable the broadcast SSID, your
Access Point will refuse the connection request from whom is not aware the Network ID (SSID).
Note that when you realized the Network ID and specify the SSID for but certainly the Access
Point can be easily connected well when you realize the Network ID.
WMM:
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communication to define a
priority limit on the basis of data type, thus those time-sensitive data, like video/audio data, may
own a higher priority than common one. To enable WMM, the wireless client should support it.
The default value is Enable, but when the Band set to 2.4GHz (N), 2.4GHz (G+N) or 2.4GHz
(B+G+N), this option will be display only.
