The VigorAP 810 is equipped with a wireless LAN interface compliant with the standard
IEEE 802.11n draft 2 protocol. To boost its performance further, the VigorAP 810 is also
loaded with advanced wireless technology to lift up data rate up to 300 Mbps*. Hence, you
can finally smoothly enjoy stream music and video.
Note:
*
environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and
building materials.
In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, VigorAP 810 plays a role as an Access Point
(AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the
same Internet connection via VigorAP 810. The General Setup will set up the information
of this wireless network, including its SSID as identification, located channel etc.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via
radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys
and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is
separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK),
and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA
applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies
AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs.
No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data
protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The VigorAP 810 is very flexible and
can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) provides easy procedure to make network connection
between wireless station and wireless access point (VigorAP 810) with the encryption of
WPA and WPA2.
It is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and VigorAP 810.
Users do not need to select any encryption mode and type any long encryption passphrase to
setup a wireless client every time. He/she only needs to press a button on wireless client, and
WPS will connect for client and VigorAP 810 automatically.
