Chapter 4 – Device Management

WiFi Setup

The WiFi settings allow you to set the wireless LAN configuration. Once the configurations is complete, your device
will be ready to support your local WiFi devices.
This allows you to connect wired and wireless devices with NAT. In this mode, the gateway is a WiFi AP and a
hotspot. With NAT, all wireless clients don't need public IP addresses. The following settings are available under
WiFi configuration for AP Router Mode:
WiFi Module: Enables the wireless function.
Green AP: When there is no wireless traffic, enable Green AP to reduce power consumption.
Time Schedule: The wireless radio can be turned off on a schedule. By default, it is always on when the
wireless module is enabled. To add a schedule rule, go to System > Scheduling.
Network ID (SSID) & Broadcast: Network ID identifies the wireless LAN. Client stations can roam freely over
this and other access points with the same Network ID. If the Broadcast option is unchecked, wireless
clients can't find the gateway through a wireless network scan.
WLAN Partition: Enabling this option separates the wireless clients so they can't communicate with each
other but can access the internet and other Ethernet LAN devices.
Channel: The default radio channel number is set to Auto. To reduce radio interference, choose a channel
that is not used in your environment.
WiFi System: The default setting is B/G/N mixed. You can also choose N only or G/N Mixed.
Authentication and Encryption: Select one of the following authentications to secure your wireless
network:
Authentication Type
Open
Shared
Auto
WPA-PSK
WPA
WPA2-PSK
WPA2
18
Description
This mode consists of two communications, an authentication request by the client
and an authentication response from the AP/router. In this mode, only None or WEP
are available for encryption type.
Both stations in a shared authentication must have the same shared key or
passphrase. This key must be manually set on both the client and the AP/router.
Automatically sets the appropriate authentication method based on the WiFi client.
The available encryption types for this authentication are TKIP, AES, or TKIP/AES. In
this mode, you don't need an additional RADIUS server for user authentication.
In this mode, specify the IP address and port number for the RADIUS server. The key
value is shared by the device and RADIUS server. The available encryption modes are
TKIP, AES, or TKIP/AES.
