WN804 Access Point 

Advanced Wireless Settings

You can use this screen to turn the wireless radio on and off, to specify WPS settings, to use 

AP mode, and to set up a wireless access list.

The Fragmentation Length, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options in this screen 
are reserved for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these 
settings unless you have a specific reason to do so.

Control the Wireless Radio

By default, the wireless radio is enabled so that you can connect wirelessly to the access 
point. You can turn the wireless radio on or off in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen or 
by using the WiFi On/Off button on the access point front panel. When the wireless radio is 
off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the access point.

To turn the wireless radio on or off:

1.

Select 

Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings

.

By default, the Enable Wireless AP Radio check box is selected.

2.

Select or clear the 

Enable Wireless AP Radio

 check box.

If you clear this check box, this turns off the WiFi feature of the wireless access point. 

3.

(Optional) Select the 

Turn off wireless signal by schedule

 check box and fill in the fields 

to specify the times when you do not need a wireless connection. 

For example, you could turn off the wireless signal for the weekend if you leave town.

4.

Click 

Apply

.

Your changes take effect.
