Despite this, the identity of the client is still verified. Each authentication type has its own settings. For example, selecting 802.1X authentication will reveal the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields. WEP Encryption will also be enabled as shown below.
WEP Encryption This option specifies whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Four network keys can be defined although only one can be used at any one time. Use the Current Network Key list box to select the appropriate network key. Encryption Strength This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled. The key strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key.

The WPS push-button configuration provides a semi-automated configuration method. The WPS button on the front panel of the router can be used for this purpose or the Web User Interface (WUI) can be used exclusively. The WPS push-button configuration is described in the procedure below. It is assumed that the Wireless function is Enabled and that the router is configured as the Wireless Access Point (AP) of your wireless LAN.
Step 5: Go to your WPS wireless client and activate the push-button function. A screenshot of typical WPS client software is given below as an example. You can now proceed to Step 6 to check your connection. III. CHECK CONNECTION Step 6: If the WPS setup method was successful, you will be able access the wireless AP from the client. The client software should show the status. The example below shows that the connection established successfully.
Double-click the Wireless Network Connection icon from the Network Connections window (or the system tray) to confirm the new connection. It should appear as shown in the dialog-box below. 3.6.3 MAC Filter This option allows access to the router to be restricted based upon MAC addresses.

To add a MAC Address filter, click the Add button shown below.
To delete a filter, select it from the table below and click the Remove button. Option Description MAC Restrict Mode Off – Disables MAC filtering Allow – Permits access for the specified MAC addresses Deny – Rejects access for the specified MAC addresses MAC Address Lists the MAC addresses subject to the MAC Restrict Mode. The Add button prompts an entry field that requires you type in a MAC address in a two-character, 6-byte convention: xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx where xx are hexadecimal numbers.
interface. Among other things, you can select a particular channel on which to operate, force the transmission rate to a particular speed, set the fragmentation threshold, set the RTS threshold, set the wakeup interval for clients in power-save mode, set the beacon interval for the access point, set XPress mode and set whether short or long preambles are used. Click Save/Apply to set new advanced wireless options. Field Description AP Isolation Select On or Off.
Field Description split into smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not fragmented. Values between 256 and 2346 can be entered. The value should remain at its default setting of 2346, if possible, since setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance. If you experience a high packet error rate, try to slightly increase the Fragmentation Threshold.
3.6.5 Station Info This page shows authenticated wireless stations and their status. Click the Refresh button to update the list of stations in the WLAN. Field Description BSSID The BSSID is a 48-bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area. In Infrastructure BSS networks, the BSSID is the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the AP (Access Point); and in Independent BSS or ad hoc networks, the BSSID is generated randomly.
Step 1: Obtain an updated software image file from your ISP. Step 2: Enter the path and filename of the firmware image file in the Software File Name field or click the Browse button to locate the image file. Step 3: Click the Update Software button once to upload and install the file. NOTE: The update process will take about 2 minutes to complete. The device will reboot and the browser window will refresh to the default screen upon successful installation.
