Multicast Rate
Determines whether to allow wireless communication. If this is unchecked, no wireless
connections will be allowed.
Sets a channel (a range of frequencies) for wireless connections. With Auto Channel
selected, the AirStation will automatically use the best available channel.
Configure the bandwidth for wireless communication. To increase communication rate,
set the bandwidth to 40 MHz and configure extension channel.
If Allow is checked, then the AirStation will respond to SSID searches from wireless
devices by broadcasting its SSID. If Allow is unchecked, the AirStation ignores SSID
searches from wireless devices.
Enable or disable the main SSID (SSID 1) and sub SSID (SSID 2).
Enable to make wireless devices connected to the specified SSID be able to
communicate only with the Internet-side.
Select an authentication method for SSID 1 from below:
WPA/WPA2-mixed mode PSK
Allows the authentication compatible with WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK at the same time.
WPA2-PSK
Allows the authentication compatible with WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i).
WPA-PSK
Allows the authentication compatible with WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
No Authentication
Connect to wireless clients without any authentication method.
You may use any of the following types of encryption:
TKIP/AES mixed mode
TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication and communication. This
is no more secure than TKIP alone, but more convenient for some users. TKIP/AES mixed
mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK is selected for wireless
authentication.
AES
AES is more secure than TKIP, and faster. Use a pre-shared key to communicate with a
wireless device. AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for
wireless authentication.
No Encryption
Data is transmitted without encryption. With this setting, anyone within range can
connect to your wireless network and might be able to access data on the network. Not
recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. No Encryption
can be selected only when No Authentication is selected for wireless authentication.
A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless connections. There are
two different formats for a pre-shared key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-
sensitive) for an ASCII passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f,
not case-sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase.
Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440 (minutes).
A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four different formats. An
ASCII passphrase may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). A
hexadecimal passphrase may use either 10 or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a
to f, not case-sensitive).
BSS (basic service set) configures the transmission rate of control communication frames
for a wireless client. Setup choices may vary with different wireless clients.
Set the communication speed of multicast packets.
