    This mode adds wireless functionality to your wired network. AP Client Mode: WAP-6010 retrieves the signal from a Wireless AP or Router and shares it to the wired Ethernet ports on a PC or switch. WAP-6010 will not accept wireless clients in this mode.
  • Page 11 WDS Mode can provide local wireless service to wireless clients. Repeater Mode: WAP-6010 connects wirelessly to a wireless AP or Router and repeats the signal. This allows you to extend the distance of your wireless network. The description below shows the different step for each option.
  • Page 12 The next step is to setup the wireless encryption. Choose the Security mode and input the key value. For the example, we choose the WPA2-PSK as the encryption type, AES as the encryption algorithm, leave the Key Renewal Interval as the default 3600 seconds, and enable the WPS function.
  • Page 13 AP Client Mode: The Setup Wizard will guide you through the page of “Station Site Survey” and Station page. In this mode, this device turns into a “Station” device which associates to the remote AP and bridges the LAN hosts to it. For setting with Wizard, the first step is to do site survey (Scan) the AP and connect to it, and then setup the encryption in the second page.
  • Page 14 In the second page, you are required to select the encryption and input the key to associate the AP. So you must know this information from the AP setting or Wireless ISP. Bridge Mode: The setup Wizard will guide you through the WDS basic setting and the Wireless Encryption.
  • Page 15 WDS mode: The wizard will guide you through the Wireless Basic setting and the Wireless Encryption setting. This mode is equal to the Bridge Mode but with AP function additionally. So the bridged network will not only bridge the Ethernet but also the WLAN behind the WDS device.
  • Page 16 In the second page, you need to select the encryption type and the key. The encryption type of WDS link and AP must be the same, but the encryption algorithm and key can be different. If use the WEP encryption, it has to set WEP Key between AP and WDS. AP security on WDS mode: You need to set encryption for WAP-PSK or WPA2-PSK.
  • Page 17 Repeater Mode: Setup Wizard will guide you through Repeater Site Survey, Repeater Site encryption, Wireless Basic Setting and the Wireless encryption pages. In this mode, this device plays two roles, one is a Client/Station to associate the target AP, and the other is an AP to allow the WLAN client/station to associate into.
  • Page 18 In the third page, setup the WLAN of the device for the other clients to connect. In the forth page, setup the encryption/key for the WLAN of this AP.

    Basic Basic Settings Item Description The available options are “11b/g mixed mode”, “11b only”, Network Mode “11g only” and “11b/g/n mixed mode”. We recommend selecting the default value “11b/g/n mixed mode”. Network Name (SSID) The SSID, which is also called ESSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use in order to establish and maintain wireless connectivity.
  • Page 24 the clients associated to different SSID on the device can see each other. Enable the option to block it. The Default value is “Disable”. BSSID The BSSID is displayed in this field. Frequency (Channel) Click the drop down box to select the radio channel. Select the unused channel to prevent the radio overlapping.
  • Page 25 HT Physical Mode—configurable in 11 b/g/n mixed. Item Description Operating Mode Default: Mixed (Mixed, Green Field). Mixed mode: In this mode the device transmits the packets with preamble compatible legacy (802.11g), so they can be decoded by legacy devices. The device receives and decodes both Mixed Mode packets and legacy packets.
  • Page 26 below. Reverse Direction Enable this function to provide more robust data packet Grant (RDG) transmission. The “20/40” bandwidth mode uses 5 channels. For Extension Channel example, selecting channel 7 and you can select 3 or 11 for extension channel. Choose the unused channel for the extension channel.
