EAP-TLS
EAP-TLS uses a Certificate file for authentication. The Login
Name and Private Key Password are used to decrypt the
certificate file.
Encrypton
This is set to AES and cannot be changed.
Logn Name
Enter your login name for the RADIUS server.
Prvate Key Password
Enter your password.
Certfcate
Enter the name of your certificate file or click
Browse
to locate it. Click
Import
to load and decode the
certificate file. Click
Apply
to save the configuration for
wireless authentication while being associated with an
Access Point.
PEAP
EAP-PEAP uses the Login Name and Password to perform
authentication with the RADIUS server.
Encrypton

Wireless > Advanced Settings
This screen lets you configure advanced wireless settings.
Linksys recommends letting the Bridge automatically
adjust the parameters for maximum data throughput.
Wireless > Wireless Security - Advanced Settings
Transmsson Rate
The default setting is
Auto
. The range
is from 1 to 54 Mbps. The rate should be set depending on
the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a
range of speeds, or keep the default setting,
Auto
, to have
the Bridge automatically use the fastest possible data
rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback
negotiates the best possible connection speed between
the Bridge and another wireless-equipped device.
RTS Threshold
This determines how large a packet can be
before the Bridge coordinates transmission and reception
to ensure efficient communication. It should remain at its
default setting of
. If you encounter inconsistent data
flow, only minor modifications are recommended.
Fragmentaton Threshold
The maximum size of a data
packet before it is split to create a new packet. It should
remain at its default setting of
. A smaller setting
means smaller packets, resulting in more packets per
transmission. If you experience high packet error rates,
you can decrease this value, but it will likely decrease
overall network performance. Only minor modifications
of this value are recommended.
Clonng Mode
You can clone the MAC address of any
network device onto the Bridge. To disable MAC address
cloning, keep the default setting,
Dsable
. To use the MAC
cloning feature, select
Enable
.
If you have enabled MAC cloning, then select
Auto
if you
want to clone the MAC address of the device currently
connected to one of the LAN ports. The Bridge will actively
scan for a new MAC address to be cloned whenever you
disconnect and reconnect the Bridge through a LAN port.
Select
Manual
if you want to specify a MAC address in the
Enter MAC Address
field. This is useful when the Bridge is
connected to multiple devices through a switch or a hub.

Switch
The Switch tab contains seven screens that allow you to
configure the advanced Ethernet switch features. The
managed switch has five 10/100 Ethernet ports which
allow advanced VLAN and QoS settings.
Switch > Port Management
The
Port Management
screen allows you to configure
and set the status of each of the Bridge’s ports—the five
Ethernet ports and the wireless “virtual” interface.
