Parameter Description
Radio Band Select the radio band you wish to configure.
Working Mode Choose the AP mode to transform the wireless network to wireless network.
SSID
Click to modify the WiFi name of the primary network under the selected
radio band.
Security Mode
Select the security modes for target wireless networks. Supported security
modes are as follows:
−
None : No password for the wireless network and any wireless clients can
access the network. To ensure network security, this mode is not
recommended.
−
WEP : It uses a static key to encrypt all exchanged data, and ensures that
a wireless LAN has the same level of security as a wired LAN. Data
encrypted based on WEP can be easily cracked. In addition, WEP
supports a maximum wireless network throughput of only 54 Mbps.
Therefore, this security mode is not recommended.
−
WPA-PSK , WPA2-PSK , Mixed WPA/WPA2-PSK : WPA pre-shared key
authentication. The key you set is only used for identity verification while
data encryption key is automatically generated by AP based on
encryption rule TKIP or AES, solving the vulnerability of WEP static key
and therefore, is proper for personal or home networks. Mixed
WPA/WPA2-PSK indicates that AP is compatible with both WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK security modes.
−
WPA , WPA2 : 802.1x is used to authenticate users and generate root key
for encrypting data instead of using pre-shared key you set manually.
Data encryption key is automatically generated by AP based on
encryption rule TKIP or AE, which is proper for wireless networks with
high security requirements such as enterprises.
