WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network 7 WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network WLAN is a radio technology that allows Ethernet networks and access to the Internet to be provided without cable connections. This allows multiple users to share one wireless Internet connection. 7.1 Standards The WLAN standards IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE 802.11i were developed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE). IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.11g The IEEE 802.11b and IEEE 802.
Security IEEE 802.11i The WPA2 security mechanism is defined in the IEEE 802.11i standard. WPA2 is an extension of the familiar security mechanism WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access). The main feature of the extension of WPA to WPA2 is the AESCCM encryption process. z The WPA mechanism stipulates the TKIP (Temporary Key Integrity Protocol) for encryption.
Encryption Encryption The most important security setting is encryption. FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN supports the security mechanisms WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) and WPA2 as follows: z As part of the WEP mechanism a static key is determined to serve for the encryption of the user data. The key must also be entered in the WLAN settings of the WLAN clients. z The WPA and WPA2 mechanisms provide for authentication while the connection is being established.
WLAN Radio Network Name (SSID) To configure the best security settings possible with FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and your WLAN adapter, please note the following recommendations: z If your WLAN adapter supports WPA2 (i.e., it supports the 802.11i standard): Select the WPA mechanism and the AES encryption procedure.
Frequency Range In Europe, 13 channels are provided for WLAN in the 2.4 GHz range. One channel has a bandwidth of 22 MHz. A 5 MHz interval is left empty between adjacent channels. That means that channels located directly next to each other may overlap and result in mutual interference. If several WLANs are operated within a small space, a distance of at least five channels should be left empty between each two channels used.
Increasing the WLAN Range Using WDS 7.4 Increasing the WLAN Range Using WDS You can extend the range in your wireless network using WDS (Wireless Distributed System). For this you need another WLAN access point in addition to the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. One of the two WLAN access points works as the base station, the other as a repeater. The base station and repeater are connected to each other via WLAN.
Enabling WLAN in the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN z Make sure that all WLAN access points in the WDS use the same radio channel. z Every access point participating in the WDS fulfills the tasks of a WLAN access point for its given WLAN clients. This means that the WLAN clients see each WLAN access point with an individual name (SSID) and individual encryption settings.
Specifying the WDS Mode for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN Now WDS support is enabled in your FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN. The next step is to specify whether the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is to work as a base station or as a repeater. Continue with the following section for instructions.
Specifying the WDS Mode for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 2. Enter fritz.box in the address line of your web browser and confirm your entry by pressing Enter. The FRITZ!Box user interface opens. 3. Open the “Operating Mode” settings page by clicking through the “Settings / WLAN / Repeater” menus and select the “Base station” option. 4. Enter the MAC address of the repeater(s) with which you would like to extend your wireless network. 5. Click on the “Security” settings page. 6.
Specifying the WDS Mode for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN The MAC address is generally printed on a sticker on the base of the device. If the base station is a FRITZ!Box, enter the address you printed out as described in the section “Configuring FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN as a Base Station” on page 62. 3. Make sure that the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and your base station are located in the same IP range and that both devices have been assigned an unique IP address.
Network Settings 8 Network Settings Upon delivery, the network settings of the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN are preconfigured as follows: Factory Settings All computers are located in the same IP net- enabled work IP address 192.168.178.1 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 DHCP server enabled According to these settings, all computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN are located in the same subnetwork. You can change any of these settings, but should only do so if you are well versed in network settings.
Basics 8.1 Basics What Is IP? IP is the abbreviation for Internet Protocol. The IP Internet Protocol is the most important basic protocol for the control of data exchange in local networks and in the Internet. The Internet protocol works without a connection; in other words, data packets are transmitted from the sender to the recipient without previous consultation. The addresses of the recipient and the sender in the data packets are given as IP addresses.
What Is an IP Address? Public IP Address A public IP address is an IP address valid in the Internet. Every computer or router participating in the Internet must have a uniquely assigned public IP address. This address is usually negotiated dynamically with the Internet Service Provider when a connection to the Internet is dialed. The Internet Service Provider assigns the negotiated IP address to the computer or router for the duration of an Internet session.
Subnetwork called dynamic because every participant receives a new public address that has not been assigned yet each time he or she dials in to the Internet. By contrast, dynamic addresses are usually used in local IP networks because they are easy to handle, and because using them avoids incorrect IP address entries or unintentional double assignments. The DHCP service is responsible for assigning unique dynamic IP addresses.
What Is DHCP? Example 2 IP address: 192.168.178.247 Subnet mask: 255.255.0.0 The assignment of the first three groups of numerals in the subnet mask indicates that the first three groups of numerals in the IP address define the network. The following addresses result: Network address (subnet): 192.168.0.0 Address of the computer 192.168.178.247 in the subnet: IP address pool in the sub- 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.247 net: The IP addresses 192.168.0.0 and 192.168.255.255 are reserved.
IP Address 8.2 IP Address The FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is delivered with an IP address preset. Factory Settings All computers are located in the same IP net- enabled work IP address 192.168.178.1 Subnet mask 255.255.255.0 DHCP server enabled The IP address and the corresponding subnet mask automatically yield the following values: Network address of the subnet 192.168.178.0 Entire IP address pool for the 192.168.178.2 - 192.168.178.253 computers You can change the preset IP address.
Reserved IP Addresses What IP Address Must You Assign for the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN and What Else Must Be Taken into Consideration? z The IP address must come from the address range of your existing subnet. z The subnet mask must correspond with that of the connected subnet. z When the DHCP server of the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is enabled, the addresses 20 through 200 in the fourth group of numerals of the IP address are reserved for the DHCP server.
DHCP Server 5. 8.3 Make the changes on the “IP Settings” page and then click “Apply”. DHCP Server The FRITZ!Box Fon WLANis equipped with its own DHCP server. The DHCP server is enabled by default in the factory settings. Every time the operating system on a computer connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN is started, it is assigned an IP address by the DHCP server. Only one DHCP server may be active within any network.
Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled Fixed IP Addresses when the DHCP Server Is Enabled If you would like to give fixed IP addresses to individual computers connected with the FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN, despite the fact that the DHCP server is enabled, then you must disable the option “Obtain an IP address automatically” in this computer’s network settings and enter the fixed IP address manually.
