3.6. Wi-Fi Access Point Configuration
The configuration page for the Wi-Fi access point is displayed by selecting Wi-Fi AP item in
Configuration section.
Item Description
Enable Wi-Fi AP If this item is checked, Wi-Fi AP is enabled.
SSID Identifier of Wi-Fi network.
Broadcast SSID
Method of broadcasting the SSID in beacon frames and response to a
request for sending the beacon frame.

Enabled
– SSID is broadcast in beacon frames.

Zero length
– Beacon frame does not include SSID. Requests
for sending beacon frame are ignored.

Clear
– All SSID characters in beacon frames are replaced by 0.
Original length is kept. Requests for sending beacon frames are
ignored.
Country Code
Code of the country where the router is installed. This code must be
entered in
ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 format . If a
country code isn’t specified
and the router has not implemented a system to determine this code, it
will use
“US” as the default country code .
If no country code is specified or if the wrong country code is entered,
then the router may violate country-specific regulations for the use of
the Wi-Fi frequency bands.
HW Mode HW mode of Wi-Fi standard that will be supported by Wi-Fi access
point.

IEE 802.11b

IEE 802.11b+g

IEE 802.11b+g+n
Channel The channel, where the Wi-Fi AP is transmitting.
BW 40 MHz The option for HW mode 802.11n which allows transmission on two
standard 20MHz channels simultaneously.
WMM
Basic QoS for Wi-Fi networks is enabled by checking this item. This
version doesn’t guarantee network throughput. It is suitable for simple
applications that require QoS.
Authentication Access control and authorization of users in the Wi-Fi network.
1. Open - Authentication is not required. Free access point.
2. Shared
– Base authentication using WEP key.
3. WPA-PSK - Authentication using better authentication methods
PSK-PSK.
4. WPA2-PSK - WPA-PSK using new encryption AES.
Encryption Type of data encryption in the Wi-Fi network

None
– No data encryption.

WEP
– Encryption using static WEP keys. This encryption can
be used for Shared authentication.

TKIP
– Dynamic encryption key management that can be used
