Standard 802.11a/g does NOT support enhanced capabilities.
Super A/G without Turbo
Capable of Packet Bursting, Fast Frames, Compression, No Turbo Mode
Super A/G with Static Turbo
Capable of Packet Bursting, Fast Frames, Compression, and Static Turbo Mode.
This setting is not backwards compatible with non-Turbo (legacy) devices. Static
turbo mode is always on and is only enabled when all devices on the wireless
network are configured with Super A/G and Static Turbo enabled.
Super A/G with Dynamic Turbo
Capable of Packet Bursting, Fast Frames, Compression and Dynamic Turbo
Mode. This setting is backwards compatible with non-Turbo (legacy) devices.
Dynamic Turbo mode is only enabled when all devices on the wireless network
are configured with Super A/G and Dynamic Turbo enabled.
4.3.8 Channel
This is the radio channel that the Access Point will use which represents a narrow band of radio frequency. It is
important that the frequencies do not overlap to impact the data packets transmission quality. To avoid
interference within the network with multiple APs, set each AP to use one of the 3 channels (e.g. channel 1) and
then the other AP to be one of the other 2 channels (e.g. channel 5 or channel 10). Note that 802.11b and
802.11g use only 2.4 GHz channels and 802.11a only 5.0 GHz channels. All devices on the network must share
the same channel. (Default:
5.200 GHz – CH40 for 802.11a
)
4.4 Security Setup
If you wish to use encryption for your 802.11g and 802.11a network, the
BOSSW76
offers WEP and WPA
security.
By default the encryption is disabled.
You can change the encryption settings for more secure wireless
communication from Security and Encryption settings web page. After entering all figures, please click [

4.4.1 WPA Configuration
Over the WEP, WPA improves the data encryption through the temporal key integrity protocol (TKIP). TKIP
scrambled the keys using a hashing algorithm and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys
haven’t been tampered with.
WEP regulates access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is
relatively simple to be sniffed out and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure
that only authorized network users can access the network.
