The following items are displayed on this page:
◆ SSID Choice — The name of the wireless network service provided by
the Wireless-N Access Point/Repeater. Clients that want to connect to
the network must set their SSID to the same as that of the Wireless-N
Access Point/Repeater. (Default: “SMC”)
◆ Security Mode — Specifies the security mode for the SSID. Select the
security method and then configure the required parameters. For more
information, see “WLAN Security” on page 43. (Options: Disabled,
Open, Shared, WEP-AUTO, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK_WPA2-PSK,
WPA, WPA2, WPA1_WPA2, 802.1X; Default: Disabled)
N OTE : To keep your wireless network protected and secure, you should
implement the highest security possible. For small networks, it is
recommended to select WPA2-PSK using AES encryption as the most
secure option. However, if you have older wireless devices in the network
that do not support AES encryption, select TKIP as the encryption
algorithm.
◆ Access Policy — The Wireless-N Access Point/Repeater provides a
MAC address filtering facility. The access policy can be set to allow or
reject specific station MAC addresses. This feature can be used to
connect known wireless devices that may not be able to support the
configured security mode.
◆ Add a station MAC — Enter the MAC address of the station that you
want to filter. MAC addresses must be entered in the format
xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx.
