Chapter 6. Wireless

The FriendlyNET FR1004AL is a powerful wireless router. Compared to the FR1004, the FR1004AL adds:

•An AeroLAN wireless access point for Apple Airport, Wi-Fi and other IEEE 802.11b-compatible equipment

•Dual diversity antennas with high performance signal amplifier to provide maximum signal strength and data integrity

•Multiple security levels including hardware-based MAC address controls to lock out unauthorized users

•An integrated network print server

6.1 Configuration Considerations

Using factory default settings, you should be able to connect to router using ei- ther wired or wireless network connections. Be sure your computer is accepting dynamic network IP addresses assigned by the router.

If you are planning to use more than one Asanté wireless router (or equivalent), you have the option of having:

A.One wireless network with multiple routers (or wireless access points), or

B.Two (or more) separate wireless networks.

To implement option A, verify that the Network IDs are the same on all units. To implement option B, be sure to set a unique Network ID (SSID) and Channel number for each router (or wireless access point).
