Configuring via Web Management Interface
To customize more advanced settings
Security:
Select an option from the Security drop-down list. The extender provides
three options, No Security, WPA/WPA2 Personal (Recommended), and WEP. WPA2
uses the newest standard and the security level is the highest. Don’t change the default
settings unless necessary.
Version:
You can select one of following versions.
•
Auto
(Recommended) - Select WPA-Personal or WPA2-Personal automatically
based on the wireless station’s capability and request.
•
WPA-PSK
- Pre-shared key of WPA.
Ecryption:
You can select either Automatic(Recommended), TKIP or AES
Password:
Set the password of the Wi-Fi network.
Channel:
Select the channel you want to use from the drop-down list. This field
determines which operating frequency will be used. It is not necessary to change the
wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access
point.
Mode:
Select the desired mode.
• 802.11n only: Select only if all of your wireless clients are 802.11n devices.
• 802.11g/n mixed: Select if you are using both 802.11g and 802.11n wireless clients.
• 802.11b/g/n mixed: Select if you are using a mix of 802.11b, 11g, and 11n wireless
clients.
Note:
When 802.11n only mode is selected, only 802.11n wireless clients can connect to the extender. It
is strongly recommended that you select 802.11b/g/n mixed, so that all of 802.11b, 802.11g, and 802.11n
wireless clients can connect to the extender.
Channel Width:
Select the channel width. The default setting is Auto, which can adjust
the channel width for your clients automatically.
Transmit Power:
Select the level of transmit power. We recommend you choose
High
to
have the best signal strength.
