In order to use 802.1X security, you need to have a RADIUS server on your network that will act as the authentication server. Please
type in the details for your RADIUS server in the fields required.
Figure 45 - Advanced View – WiFi Security Settings - 802.1x
Note: After configuring wireless security, you also need to configure your wireless adapter to use the same security
settings before you can connect wirelessly. Not all wireless adapters support WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA/WPA2 security.
Please refer to your wireless adapter user guide for more details. It is strongly recommended to set up a simple wireless
security such as WPA-PSK (when the wireless client supports WPA-PSK) in order to secure your network.
Most wireless adapters in computers and laptops support at least WEP and WPA.
WDS Mode
The NTC-30WV supports the configuration of a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). WDS allows you to expand your wireless
network with multiple access points. There are two WDS modes available: Bridged Mode and Repeater Mode.
In Bridged mode, the WDS access points communicate with each other but do not communicate with wireless clients. Bridged
mode is best used in situations where the client machines connect via Ethernet cable. In Repeater mode, the WDS access points
communicate with each other and with wireless clients.
Below is an example of how to configure two NTC-30WV routers to utilise the Repeater mode WDS feature. In this example, Access
Point 1 is connected to a mobile broadband network and Access Point 2 and its clients will connect to the internet through Access
Point 1.
