Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same
settings, as follows:
Mode
On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure". (The Access Point is always in
"Infrastructure" mode.)
Most Wireless stations will set the correct mode automatically.
SSID (ESSID)
Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to.
Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.
Security
The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings for Wireless security.
(Off, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK+WPA2-PSK).
WEP If WEP is used, the Key size (64Bit, 128Bit), Key value, and Authentication settings must be the same on
the Wireless Stations and the Access Point.
WPA-PSK: If WPA is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPA-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared
Key and encryption system.
WPA2-PSK: If WPA2 is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPA2-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared
Key and encryption system.
WPA-PSK +WPA2-PSK: If WPA-PSK +WPA2-PSK is used, all Wireless Stations must be set to use WPA-
PSK +WPA2-PSK, and have the same Pre-shared Key and encryption system.
For Ad-hoc networks (no Access Point), all Wireless stations must use the same security settings.
