Wireless LAN

7.1  Overview 

This chapter describes how to perform tasks related to setting up and optimizing 
your wireless network, including the following.

• Turning the wireless connection on or off.
• Configuring a name, wireless channel and security for the network.
• Using WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) to configure your wireless network.
• Using a MAC (Media Access Control) address filter to restrict access to the 

wireless network.

See 

Chapter 2 on page 29

 for a tutorial showing how to set up your wireless 

connection in an example scenario.

See 

Section 7.10 on page 147

 for advanced technical information on wireless 

networks.

7.1.1  What You Can Do in this Chapter

This chapter describes the P-2812HNU-51c’s Network > Wireless LAN screens. 
Use these screens to set up your P-2812HNU-51c’s wireless connection.

• The General screen lets you turn the wireless connection on or off, set up 

wireless security and make other basic configuration changes (

Section 7.4 on 

page 131

). You can also configure the MAC filter to allow or block access to the 

P-2812HNU-51c based on the MAC addresses of the wireless stations.

• The More AP screen lets you set up multiple wireless networks on your P-

2812HNU-51c (

Section 7.5 on page 140

).

• Use  the  WPS screen and the WPS Station screen to use WiFi Protected Setup 

(WPS). WPS lets you set up a secure network quickly, when connecting to other 

WPS-enabled devices. 
Use the WPS screen (see 

Section 7.6 on page 141

) to enable or disable WPS, 

generate a security PIN (Personal Identification Number) and see information 

about the P-2812HNU-51c’s WPS status.
Use the WPS Station (see 

Section 7.7 on page 143

) screen to set up WPS by 

pressing a button or using a PIN.
