Selecting the Frequency
Although wireless networks can be logically separated by set-
ting the Network Name, they can still physically interfere with
each other if they are operated on the same radio channel or
on channels which are close together.
Consequently, if you operate two or more wireless networks
within short distance, it is advisable to assign different chan-
nels to the networks. Since a network also allocates a part of
its adjacent channels, these channels should be at least 4
channels apart from each other. For more information on the
AP mode, refer to Section
Configuration: Wireless Interface on
Page 3–70 , on the AC mode to Section Configuration: Wire-
less Interface on Page 4–98 .
Activating the Encryption
To prevent the data transmitted via radio technology from
being eavesdropped easily, you should activate the encryp-
tion. In the process, the same key will be entered at all sta-
tions or clients of a wireless network. Basically, there are two
key lengths: 64 bits (corresponds to a 40-bit-effective key)
and 128 bits (corresponds to a 104-bit-effective key). If all cli-
ents used support 128-bit encryption, you should activate it.
For detailed information, refer to the AP mode in Section
Con-
figuration: Security on Page 3–75 , to the AC mode in Section
Configuration: Wireless Interface on Page 4–98 .
