10.2 What You Can Do in this Chapter
Wireless screens vary according to the device mode you are using. See
information on device modes.
• Use the Basic screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode,
see
Section 10.4 on page
• Use the Advanced screen to configure wireless advanced settings such as the wireless band or
channel bandwidth, see
• Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security without having to
configure security settings manually, see
• Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from
connecting to the WX3310, see
• Use the MBSS screen to enable and configure multiple BSSs on the WX3310, see
60.
10.3 What You Should Know
Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.
The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.
• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.
Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency,
to send and receive information.
• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.
Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the
information that is sent in the wireless network.
10.3.1 Wireless Basic
"Wireless" is essentially radio communication. In the same way that walkie-talkie radios send and
receive information over the airwaves, wireless networking devices exchange information with one
another. A wireless networking device is just like a radio that lets your computer exchange information
with radios attached to other computers. Like walkie-talkies, most wireless networking devices operate
at radio frequency bands that are open to the public and do not require a license to use. However,
wireless networking is different from that of most traditional radio communications in that there are a
number of wireless networking standards available with different methods of data encryption.
10.3.2 WiFi6 / IEEE 802.11ax
WiFi6 is backwards compatible with IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac and is most suitable in areas with a high
concentration of users. WiFi6 devices support Target Wakeup Time (TWT) allowing them to automatically
power down when they are inactive.
