Page 22: Wireless Overview
Wireless Networking Basics Your HT-EMN2’s wireless network is part of the Local Area Network (LAN), known as the Wireless LAN (WLAN). The WLAN is a network of radio links between the HT- EMN2 and the other computers and devices that connect to it. -
Page 23: Wireless Standards
Wireless clients must know the SSID in order to be able to connect to the AP. You can configure the HT-EMN2 to broadcast the SSID (in which case, any client who scans the airwaves can discover the SSID), or to “hide” the SSID (in which case it is not broadcast, and only users who already know the SSID can connect). -
Page 24: Wps
WEP. There are two types of WPA: the “enterprise” version (known simply as WPA) requires the use of a central authentication database server, whereas the “personal” version (supported by the HT-EMN2) allows users to authenticate using a “pre-shared key” or password instead. -
Page 25: Guest Networks
(or other device). For example, if a single computer has an Ethernet card (to connect to your HT-EMN2 via one of the LAN ports) and also has a wireless card (to connect to your HT-EMN2 over the wireless interface) the MAC addresses of the two cards will be different. -
Page 26: Wireless Device Filtering
Every networking device has a unique Media Access Control (MAC) address that uniquely identifies it on the network. When you enable MAC address filtering on the HT-EMN2’s wireless network, you can set up a list of devices, identified by their MAC addresses, and deny them access to the HT-EMN2’s wireless network. -

Page 43: Example Moca Mesh Network
Hitron HT-EMN2 User’s Guide “Outlet-to-outlet” communications are also known as “splitter jumping”. Traditional cable networking commonly utilized splitters to split a single incoming signal into two outgoing signals. With MoCA, communications between devices connected to each splitter output are possible. For this reason, MoCA communications can be considered “horizontal”, as opposed to traditional “vertical”... -
