Creating a Wireless
Network
This chapter explains how to create a wireless network using the Wireless
Broadband Router, including accessing and configuring wireless security options.
Overview
The Wireless Broadband Router provides the user with wireless connectivity over
the 802.11b and g standards (the most common wireless standards). 802.11b has
a maximum data rate of 11 Mbps, while 802.11g has a maximum data rate of 54
Mbps. Both operate in the 2.4 GHz range.
The Router’s wireless feature is turned on, with wireless security activated, by default.
The level of security is 64/40-bit WEP, with a unique WEP key already entered.
☞
Note: The default WEP key is displayed on a sticker located on
the bottom of the Router.
The Router integrates multiple layers of security. These include the IEEE 802.1x
port-based authentication protocol, RADIUS client, EAP-MD5, EAP-TLS, EAP-TTLS,
EAP-PEAP, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP), Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and
firewall and VPN applications.
