  • Page 73: Wireless

    WIRELESS BASICS This section describes how wireless networks and wireless security work. Your CGNV2’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 CGNV2 and the other computers and devices that connect to it.

  • Page 74: Wireless Standards

    Wireless clients must know the SSID in order to be able to connect to the AP. You can configure the CGNV2 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 75: Basic Wireless Security

    CHOOSING A SECURITY METHOD The security method that you choose to use for your wireless network depends upon the security methods supported by the devices on the network (the CGNV2, your PC, your laptop, and so on). Not all devices support the same security methods, so you must find out what security methods each of the supports, and choose a method that they all support.
