Wireless Mode

Four operating modes are available on EKI-6311GN.

Wireless Client

: The EKI-6311GN is able to connect to the AP and thus join the wireless

network around it.

: The EKI-6311GN establishes a wireless coverage and receives connectivity from other

wireless devices.

Bridge

: The EKI-6311GN establishes wireless connectivity with other APs by keying in remote

MAC address. Please refer to the “WDS Setting” for detailed configuration.

AP Repeater

: The EKI-6311GN servers as AP and Bridge concurrently. In other words, the EKI-

6311GN can provide connectivity services for CPEs under WDS mode.

Wireless Network Name (SSID)

This wireless network name is shared among all associated devices in your wireless network.
Keep it identical on all those devices. Note that the SSID is case-sensitive and can not exceed
32 characters.

Broadcast SSID

Under AP mode, hiding network name is necessary when you are in a wireless environment that
may have potential risk. By disabling broadcast SSID, the STA can not scan and find EKI-
6311GN, so that malicious attack by some illegal STA could be avoided.

802.11 Mode

The EKI-6311GN can communicate with wireless devices of 802.11b/g or 802.11b/g/n. You can
also select Auto and make it work under an appropriate wireless mode automatically.

HT Protect

Enable HT (High Throughput) protect to ensure HT transmission with MAC mechanism. Under
802.11n mode, wireless client can be divided into HT STA and Non-HT STA, among which the
one with HT protect enabled gets higher throughput.

Channel Number

Channel varies much as the available band differs from country to country. Select a proper
operating channel in the drop-down list according to your situation.

Antenna

By default, EKI-6311GN uses its built-in antenna for directional transmission; however, if you
prefer to use an external antenna for your case-dependent applications, you can switch from
“Internal (8 dBi)” to”External (N-Type)”.

You are able to choose “External (N-Type)” only when you have well done installing

the external antenna; otherwise, it might damage EKI-6311GN itself.

Output Power

Specify the signal transmission power. The higher the output power is, the wider the signal can
cover, but the power consumption will be greater accordingly. Usually “Full” is preferred.

Data Rate
