Basic Setting
Profile Name: Name of the VAP profile.
Wireless Network Name: Enter the virtual SSID for the VAP.
Broadcast SSID: In AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that may have potential
risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA cannot scan and find the Wireless Ethernet Extender, so that malicious attack by some
illegal STA can be avoided.
Wireless Separation: Wireless separation is an ideal way to enhance the security of network transmission. Under the mode except
wireless client mode, enabling “Wireless Separation” can prevent the communication among associated wireless clients.
WMM Support: WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a subset of 802.11e. It allows wireless communication to define a priority limit on the
basis of data type under AP mode only, thus those time-sensitive data, like video/audio data, may own a higher priority than a
common one. To enable WMM, the wireless client should also support it
Max. Station Number: By checking the “Max. Station Num” the Wireless Ethernet Extender will only allow up to 32 wireless
clients to associate with for better bandwidth for each client. By disabling the checkbox the Wireless Ethernet Extender will allow
up to 128 clients to connect, but it is likely to cause network congestion or poor performance.
Security Setting
To prevent unauthorized radios from accessing data transmitting over the connectivity, the Wireless Ethernet Extender provides
you with rock-solid security settings.
Network Authentication
Open System: This allows any device to join the network without performing any security check.
Shared Key: Data encryption and key are required for wireless authentication (Not available in Bridge/AP Repeater mode).
Legacy 802.1x: This provides the rights to access the wireless network and wired Ethernet. With User and PC identity, centralized
authentication as well as dynamic key management, it controls the security risk of wireless network to the lowest. To serve the
802.1x, at least one EAP type should be supported by the RADIUS Server, AP, and wireless client.
