Wi-Fi n
Configuration – Network> Interfaces> Wi-Fi> Wi-Fi n
When a Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, an SSID must be configured in
order for a Wi-Fi interface to operate.
In order to forward packets to and from a Wi-Fi interface, it must be bridged to a configured
Ethernet interface. The Wi-Fi interface and Ethernet interface must be in the same Bridge
instance.
If a DHCP server is required to run on the Wi-Fi interface, the DHCP server instance
corresponding bridged Ethernet interface should be configured.
In some cases it may be necessary to bridge multiple Ethernet instances to a single Wi-Fi
instance. If this is required, only one Ethernet instances is should be configured.
Enable this Wi-Fi interface
The Wi-Fi interface can be enabled or disabled.
Description
This parameter allows you to enter a descriptive name for the Wi-Fi interface to make it
easier to identify.
SSID
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, this is the SSID that will be
advertised to the Wi-Fi clients to.
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a Client, this is the SSID of the Access Point
you wish to connect to.
Mode
The Wi-Fi interface can be run in various modes. The options are:
• Access Point
• Client
• Rogue Detection (Scan for unauthorised Access Points)
This Wi-Fi interface is a member of Bridge instance n and therefore bridged to the
following interfaces
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be an Access Point, in order to forward packets to
and from the Wi-Fi interface it must be bridged with an Ethernet interface using a Bridge
instance.
Interface
The interfaces that are currently members of the selected Bridge instance. Note that
multiple Wi-Fi interfaces can be members of the same Bridge instance.
Link this Wi-Fi client interface with Ethernet n
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a client, it must be bridged to a particular
Ethernet interface.
This Wi-Fi rogue scanner will use Ethernet n
When the Wi-Fi interface is configured to be a rogue scanner, it will use the selected
Ethernet interface.
