3.1.6 Wireless
The wireless section is used to configure the wireless settings for your Company router. Please note
that changes made on this section may also need to be duplicated on your Wireless Client.
To protect your privacy, use the wireless security mode to configure the wireless security features.
This device supports three wireless security modes including: WEP, WPA-Personal, and
WPA-Enterprise. WEP is the original wireless encryption standard. WPA provides a higher level of
security. WPA-Personal does not require an authentication server. The WPA-Enterprise option does
require a RADIUS authentication server.
Enable Wireless Radio: This option turns off and on the wireless connection feature of the
router. When you set this option, the following parameters are displayed.
Wireless Network Name: When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the
name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below). This
name is also referred to as the SSID. For security purposes, it is highly recommended to
change from the pre-configured network name.
Visibility Status: The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this
option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of
your signal. If you're not using encryption then they could connect to your network. When
Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client
manually to connect to the network.
Auto Channel Select: If you select this option, the router automatically finds the channel with
least interference and uses that channel for wireless networking. If you disable this option, the
router uses the channel that you specify with the following Channel option.
Channel: A wireless network uses specific channels in the 2.4GHz wireless spectrum to
handle communication between clients. Some channels in your area may have interference
from other electronic devices. Choose the clearest channel to help optimize the performance
and coverage of your wireless network.
Transmission Rate: By default the fastest possible transmission rate will be selected. You
have the option of selecting the speed if necessary.
802.11 Mode: If all of the wireless devices you want to connect with this router can connect in
802.11g mode, you can improve performance slightly by changing the mode to 802.11g only. If
you have some devices that are 802.11b, leave the setting at Mixed.
