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 93. After setting the AP name, the profile drop-down menu is used to select one of the
configured profiles.

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.
• WPA2: This security type uses CCMP 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 System or Shared Key.
• WPA2 - Select CCMP.
• WPA+WPA2 - Select TKIP+CCMP.
Select the authentication type:
• WEP - Select 64-bit WEP or 128-bit WEP.
• WPA2/WPA+WPA2 - Select PSK (passphrase), RADIUS (RADIUS server), or PSK+RADIUS (both).
If you selected WEP, enter a passphrase or up to four hexadecimal keys (a-f, 0-9, A-F).
