Quick Start Guide
11b/g Wireless SOHO Router
Wireless Settings
1. Click on the
Basic Settings
link under the
Wireless
menu on the navigation drop-down menu.
These options allow you to enable/disable the wireless interface, switch between the 11b/g and 11b
radio band and channel frequency
2.
Wireless Interface
: Place a check in this box to disable the wireless interface, it is enabled by
default.
3.
Band
: Select the IEEE 802.11 mode from the drop-down list. For example, if you are sure that the
wireless network will be using only IEEE 802.11g clients, then it is recommended to select 802.11g
only instead of 2.4 GHz B+G which will reduce the performance of the wireless network. You may
also select 2.4GHz B or 2.4GHz G
4.
SSID
: The SSID is a unique named shared amongst all the points of the wireless network. The
SSID must be identical on all points of the wireless network and cannot exceed 32 characters.
5.
Channel
: Select a channel from the drop-down list. The channels available are based on the
country’s regulation.
6.
Show Active Clients
: Click on this button to view a list of clients that are associated with this
device.

Wireless WEP Encryption
1.
Encryption
: Select
WEP
from the drop-down list in order to enable WEP security and then click on
the Set WEP key button.
2.
Key Length
: Select a 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key length from the drop-down list.
3.
Key Format:
Select a key format such as HEX or ASCII from the drop-down list.
4.
Encryption Key
: You may use up to four different keys for four different networks. Select the
current key that will be used.

Wireless WPA/WPA2-Mixed Encryption
1.
Encryption
: Select
WPA or WPA2-Mixed
from the drop-down list in order to enable WPA security.
2.
WPA Authentication Mode
: Select
Enterprise (Radius)
or
Personal (Pre-Shared Key)
. If you
select Enterprise (radius) then the pass key is located on the RADIUS server, however, if you
select Personal (Pre-Shared Key) then you may assign a key on this configuration page.
3.
WPA / WPA2 Cipher Suite
: Select
TKIP
or
AES
as the cipher suite. The encryption algorithm
used to secure the data communication. TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) provides per-
packet key generation and is based on WEP. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) is a very
secure block based encryption. Note that, if the bridge uses the AES option, the bridge can
associate with the access point only if the access point is also set to use only AES. The device
negotiates the cipher type with the access point, and uses AES when available.
4.
Pre-Shared Key
: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in
ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless
connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of
ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase. This phrase is used to generate
session keys that are unique for each wireless client.
5.
Authentication Radius Sever
: If you have selected
Enterprise (Radius)
as the authentication
type then you must specify the RADIUS port number, IP address, and password.
