Confidential
Ethernet-to-wireless (or LAN-to-WLAN) network adaptor. For example,
a notebook computer equipped with an Ethernet adaptor but no
wireless card can be connected to the router with an Ethernet cable to
provide wireless connectivity to another AP. When R3000 is wanted to
work as “Client” mode, please go to tab “Configuration” -> “Link
Management” -> “Primary Interface” to select “WiFi” as WAN link.
Channel
Select the frequency channel, which includes “Auto”, “1”, “2”…… “13”.
Auto: R3000 will scan all frequencies until it finds one with an available
access point or wireless network it can join.
1~13: R3000 will be fixed to work with this channel.
Auto
SSID
SSID (service set identifier) is the network name of the WLAN. The SSID
of a client and the SSID of the AP must be identical for the client and AP
to be able to communicate with each other.
When R3000 works as Client mode, enter SSID of the access point which
R3000 want to connect.
Input from 1 to 31 characters.
Router_AP
Hide SSID
When R3000 works as AP mode, after clicking this check box R3000 will
not broadcast the SSID. Other wireless devices cannot discover this
access point automatically. User need to enter the SSID manually to let
their wireless devices join this access point.
When R3000 works as Client mode and need to connect to any access
point which has ensconced SSID, you need to enter this SSID manually
in tab “SSID” and then click “Hide SSID”.
Disable
Security mode
Select from “Open”, “WPA” and “WPA2”.
Open: No authentication. For security reasons, you should NOT set
security mode to Open System, since authentication and data
encryption are NOT performed in Open System mode.
WPA/WPA2: Personal versions of WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access),
also known as WPA/WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), provide a simple way of
encrypting a wireless connection for high confidentiality. WPA2 is a
stronger security feature than WPA.
Note: R3000 supports WPA/WPA2 Personal version, not enterprise
version.
Open
Encryption
Select from “TKIP” and “CCMP (AES)”.
TKIP: Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption is used over the
wireless link. TKIP encryption can be used with WPA-PSK and WPA with
802.1x authentication.
CCMP (AES): CCMP (AES) encryption is used over the wireless link.
CCMP can be used WPA-PSK and WPA with 802.1x authentication.
Note: CCMP (AES) is a stronger encryption algorithm than TKIP.
CCMP (AES)
Passphrase
When R3000 works as AP mode, enter Master key to generate keys for
encryption. A Passphrase is used as a basis for encryption methods (or
cipher types) in a WLAN connection. The passphrases should be
Null
