Bandwidth
You may enable or disable either wireless frequency range independently. If both
wireless radios are disabled, the AirStation will not communicate wirelessly.
Each SSID may contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.
The following types of encryption are available:
WPA2-PSK AES
WPA2 authentication with AES encryption is the best system available. Highly
recommended if all your wireless clients support it.
WPA-PSK AES
WPA authentication with AES encryption is an older system, but still secure.
WPA/WPA2-mixed PSK AES
For maximum compatibility, this system allows any combination of WPA, WPA2, and AES.
This encryption system works with most older clients but is not very secure.
No Encryption
No encryption means that anyone can log in to your wireless network, snoop on your
wireless traffic, and use your bandwidth. Not recommended for most users.
Note: To use WEP encryption, navigate to Wireless - 2.4 GHz (or 5 GHz) - Encrypt Wireless
Data and select WEP.
The encryption key is like the "password" for your wireless network. It may contain 8 to
63 case-sensitive alphanumeric characters (ASCII) or 64 hexadecimal characters (0-9 and
a-f, not case-sensitive).
For best results, select Auto Channel. The AirStation will seek and use the clearest
channel automatically. Alternately, you may choose a wireless channel manually.
In rural areas with little wireless traffic, a larger bandwidth setting may improve wireless
performance significantly. However, if you are in an urban area with much wireless traffic
and interference, the default bandwidth is recommended.
