The AP configuration page allows you to create a new AP and link to it one of the available profiles. This router
supports multiple AP's referred to as virtual access points (VAPs). Each virtual AP that has a unique SSIDs appears
as an independent access point to clients. This valuable feature allows the router's radio to be configured in a way
to optimize security and throughput for a group of clients as required by the user. To create a VAP, refer to "Access
Points" on page 80. After setting the AP name, the profile drop-down menu is used to select one of the configured
profiles.

Enter a name for your profile.
Enter a name for your wireless network (SSID).
Toggle to ON if you want your SSID broadcast openly or toggle to OFF to hide it. Clients will have to know
the SSID to connect.
Select what kind of wireless security you want to use:
• Open: Select this option to create a public "open" network to allow unauthenticated devices to access
this wireless gateway.
• WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): This option requires a static (pre -shared) key to be shared between
the AP and wireless client . Note that WEP does not support 802.11n data rates; is it appropriate for
legacy 802.11 connections.
• WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): For stronger wireless security than WEP, choose this option. The
encryption for WPA will use TKIP and also CCMP if required. The authentication can be a preshared
key (PSK), Enterprise mode with RADIUS server, or both. Note that WPA does not support 802.11n data
rates; is it appropriate for legacy 802.11 connections.
• WPA2: This security type uses CCMP encryption (and the option to add TKIP encryption) on either PSK
(pre-shared key) or Enterprise (RADIUS Server) authentication.
• WPA + WPA2: This uses both encryption algorithms, TKIP and CCMP. WPA clients will use TKIP and
WPA2 clients will use CCMP encryption algorithms.
Select the encryption type:
• WEP - Select Open or Shared.
• WPA - Select TKIP or TKIP+CCMP.
• WPA2 - Select CCMP or TKIP+CCMP.
• WPA+WPA2 - TKIP+CCMP will be the only option.
Select the authentication type:
• WEP - Select 64-bit or 128-bit.
• WPA/WPA2/WPA+WPA2 - Select PSK (passphrase), RADIUS (RADIUS server), or PSK+RADIUS (both).
If you selected WPA, WPA2, or WPA+WPA2, enter a WPA password.
