To manually connect to a Wi-Fi network that does not broadcast its SSID (network
name), click "Connect to a Wi-Fi network".
You can choose to connect to an ad hoc network in which you can connect to any
wireless devices without the need for an access point. To set up, follow these steps:
1. Enter the network name (SSID) of the wireless network and select the security
type.
o
No authentication (Open): No security key required.
o
WEP: Enter up to 4 WEP keys and choose 1 key to be used for authentication.
o
WPA-Personal: Choose AES or TKIP encryption and enter the encryption key.
o
WPA2-Personal: Enter a security key.
2. Type in the security key.
3. Click "Finish" after the NAS has added the Wi-Fi network.
4. To edit IP address settings, click "Edit". You can choose to automatically obtain the
IP address by DHCP or to set a fixed IP address.
If the Wi-Fi connection is the only connection between the NAS and the router/AP, you
must select "WLAN1" as the default gateway in "Network" > "TCP/IP" page. Otherwise,
the NAS will be unable to connect to the Internet or communicate with another network.
Note :
The WEP key must be exactly 5 or 13 ASCII characters; or exactly 10 or 26
hexadecimal characters (0-9 and A-F.)
If you have trouble connecting to an encrypted wireless network, check the
wireless router/AP settings and change the transfer rate from "N-only" mode to
"B/G/N mixed" or similar settings.
Windows 7 users with WPA2 encryption cannot establish ad-hoc connection with
the NAS. WEP encryption must be used on Windows 7.
A fixed IP address is required for wireless interfaces to establish an ad-hoc
connection.
IPv 6
The NAS supports IPv6 connectivity with "stateless" address configurations and RADVD
(Router Advertisement Daemon) for IPv6, RFC 2461 to allow the hosts on the same
subnet to automatically acquire IPv6 addresses from the NAS. NAS services which
