Access Point/AP Mode Settings

Alias Name: Displays the device name.

Disable Wireless LAN Interface: By selecting this option, you won’t be able to make a wireless connection with this access point in your network; i.e., this device will not be visible by any wireless station.

Band: The drop-down menu offers three options:

•2.4 GHz (B) — 802.11b supported rate only.

•2.4 GHz (G) — 802.11g supported rate only.

•2.4 GHz (B+G) — Both 802.11b and 802.11g supported rate. The default is 2.4 GHz (B+G) mode.

SSID: The service set identifier (SSID) differentiates one WLAN from another; therefore, all access points and devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters. A device will not be permitted to join the basic service set (BSS) unless it can provide the unique SSID. An SSID is also referred to as a network name because, essentially, it is a name that identifies a wireless network.

Channel Number: Allows you to set the channel manually or automatically. To set manually, just select the channel you want to specify. If “Auto” is selected, you can set the range so the router automatically surveys and chooses the channel with the best situation for communication. The number of channels supported depends on the access point’s region. All stations communicating with the AP must use the same channel.

Security: Click “Setup” to display the Security screen and options.

•Authentication: Select an option from the pull-down menu; e.g., “Open system or Shared Key,” “Open System,” “Open System with 802.1x,” “Shared Key,”

“WPA-RADIUS,” “WPA-PSK,” WPA2-RADIUS” and “WPA2-PSK.”

•Encryption: In the pull-down menu, select either “None” or “WEP.”

-Use 802.1x Authentication: Select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption.
