Chapter 7 Wireless
DESCRIPTION
This shows the wireless band which this radio profile is using. 2.4GHz is the frequency used by IEEE
802.11b/g/n wireless clients.
You can Enable or Disable the wireless LAN in this field.
Use Auto to have the VMG automatically determine a channel to use.
Select whether the VMG uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz or 40MHz.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel
uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase
throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz
setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your
neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth field
to 40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in the Channel field) should be in the Lower or
Upper range of channel bands.
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated.
Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.
Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN.
Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain
the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
Select this check box to allow the VMG to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless unicast
traffic.
Specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic to the WAN from this WLAN in kilobits per
second (Kbps).
Specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless traffic to this WLAN from the WAN in kilobits
per second (Kbps).
This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the VMG when wireless LAN is enabled.
Select Basic (WEP) or More Secure (WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA-WPA2-PSK) to add security on this
wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have same
wireless security settings as the VMG. When you select to use a security, additional options
appears in this screen.
Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without any data
encryption or authentication.
