2. Wireless Operation Mode
You can select the wireless operation mode such as AP Router, AP Only, and WDS
Hybrid and WDS Only..etc.
3. Wireless Schedule
You can limit Wi-Fi functions in a period of time if required.
4. Channel
The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory
Domain.
The factory default setting is Auto, channel 1~11 for North America, Channel
1~13 for European (ETSI) and channel1~ 14 for Japan.
5. Network ID (SSID)
Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client stations can roam
freely over this device and other Access Points that have the same Network ID. (The
factory default setting is “airlive2.4g”)
6. SSID Broadcast
The router will broadcast beacons that have some information, including SSID so that
wireless clients can know how many AP devices by scanning the network. Therefore, if
this setting is configured as “Disable”, the wireless clients cannot find the device from
beacons.
7. Wireless Mode
Choose “B/G mixed”, “B only”, “G only”, “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N mixed”.
The factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed”.
8. Authentication
You may select one of authentication to secure your wireless network: Open, Shared,
Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.
(A) Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an
authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC
address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a
success or failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC
address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.
(B) Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the
authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is
manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key
authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN environments.
(C) Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.
(D) WPA-PSK
Select Encryption and Pre-share Key Mode, if you select HEX, you have to fill in 64
hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits. If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key
is from 8 to 63. Fill in the key (e.g. 12345678)
