4.1.3 Manual Wireless Network Setup
This button on the Wizard page will link to the
Setup> Wireless Settings> Access

page. The manual options allow you to create new APs or modify the
parameters of APs created by the Wizard.
4.2 Wireless Profiles
Setup > Wireless Settings > Profiles
The profile allows you to assign the security type, encryption and authentication to
use when connecting the AP to a wireless client. The default mode is ―open‖, i.e. no
security. This mode is insecure as it allows an y compatible wireless clients to connect
to an AP configured with this security profile.
To create a new profile, use a unique profile name to identify the combina tion of
settings. Configure a unique SSID that will be the identifier used by the clients to
communicate to the AP using this profile. By choosing to broadcast the SSID,
compatible wireless clients within range of the AP can detect this profile‘s
availability.
The AP offers all advanced 802.11 security m odes, including WEP, WPA, WPA2 and
WPA+WPA2 options. The security of the Access point is configured by the Wireless
Security Type section:

Open: select this option to create a public ―open‖ network to allow unauthenticated
devices to access this wireless gateway.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): this option requires a static (pre -shared) key to
be shared between the AP and wireless client . Note that WEP does not support
802.11n data rates; is it appropriate for legacy 802.11 connections.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): For stronger wireless security than WEP, choose
this option. The encryption for WPA will use TKIP and also CCMP if required. The
authentication can be a pre-shared key (PSK), Enterprise mode with RADIUS
