Access Point operating in non-11n mode. 9. Extension Channel: This is used to enhance data throughput ability for 802.11n devices on the network. 10. WMM-Capable: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enabling this option may better stream wireless multimedia data such as video or audio (recommended). 11.
Access Point 10. Maximum Clients: Total clients should be within 124. 3.5.2 Security This section allows you to secure your wireless network. Here we introduce 4 security modes to you. WEP is intended to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Two types of encryption can be used with WEP: Open and Shared Key.
Access Point 1. Cipher Type: Select AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol) &AES. 2. Security Key: Enter a security key, which must be between 8-63 ASCII characters long. 3. Key Update Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed. WPA2-PSK WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
