CHAPTER 7 Wireless Configuration
Basic Settings
■
■
11n only: Only 802.11n clients will be able to communicate with the Mini Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps).
11g/n mixed: Both 802.11g and 802.11n clients can communicate with the Mini Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11g clients.
■11b/g/n Mixed: All 802.11b/g/n clients can communicate with the Mini Broadband Router (up to 150 Mbps), but data transmission rates may be slowed to compensate for 802.11b/g clients.
◆Network Name (SSID) — The name of the wireless network service provided by the Mini Broadband Router. Clients that want to connect to the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Mini Broadband Router. (Default: “SMC”; Range:
◆Multiple SSID1 — One additional VAP interface supported on the device. (Default: no name configured; Range:
◆Broadcast Network Name (SSID) — By default, the Mini Broadband Router always broadcasts the SSID in its beacon signal. Disabling the SSID broadcast increases security of the network because wireless clients need to already know the SSID before attempting to connect. When set to disable, the Network Name SSID, and SSID1 are automatically set to “Hide.” (Default: Enabled)
◆AP Isolation — The Mini Broadband Router will isolate communincation between all clients in order to protect them. Normally for users who are at hotspots. (Default: Disabled)
◆MBSSID AP Isolation — The Mini Broadband Router will isolate wireless clients from different SSID.
◆BSSID — The identifier (MAC address) of the Mini Broadband Router in the Basic Service Set (BSS) network.
◆Frequency (Channel) — The radio channel that the Mini Broadband Router uses to communicate with wireless clients. When multiple access points are deployed in the same area, set the channel on neighboring access points at least five channels apart to avoid interference with each other. For example, you can deploy up to three access points in the same area using channels 1, 6, 11. Note that wireless clients automatically set the channel to the same as that used by the Mini Broadband Router to which it is linked. Selecting Auto Select enables the Mini Broadband Router to automatically select an unoccupied radio channel. (Default: AutoSelect)
