Wireless Basic Settings

This page is used to configure the parameters for wireless LAN clients, which may connect to your

Access Point.

Band: Select wireless band as 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11b+g.

Mode: Select wireless mode. User could find 4 different modes here, including AP, Client,

WDS, AP+WDS. AP mode enables DW3512 as wireless access point and allows other

devices to connect wirelessly to a wired Ethernet network. Client mode enables DW3512 to

perform as a wireless client card and other devices can connect with Ethernet cable to

DW3512. WDS mode is to extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP. AP+WDS

enables DW3512 to perform as an AP and a WDS repeater. Here we will guide you how to

setup it with AP mode.

Network Type: Only when wireless mode set as client, user can select network type as

infrastructure or Ad hoc. Infrastructure represents a wireless network centered about an

access point. Ad hoc represents a wireless network composed only of stations within mutual

communication range of each other.

attached to packets over WLAN. The SSID is up to 32 ASCII characters that differentiate the

DW3512 from other WiFi AP, and it is also referred to as the ESSID (Extended Service Set

Identifier). You may use the default SSID unless there more than one DW3512 in the same
