environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and
building materials.
In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, VigorAP 800 plays a role as an Access Point
(AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the
same Internet connection via VigorAP 800. The General Setup will set up the information
of this wireless network, including its SSID as identification, located channel etc.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via
radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys
and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is
separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK),
and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA
applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies
AES. The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.
Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure
connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs.
No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data
protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The VigorAP 800 is very flexible and
can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP server to start
with when issuing IP addresses. If the 1st IP address of your
modem is 192.168.1.2, the starting IP address must be
192.168.1.3 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.254.
Enter a value of the IP address pool for the DHCP server to end
with when issuing IP addresses.
Type in an address code that determines the size of the network.
(Default: 255.255.255.0/ 24)
Enter a value of the gateway IP address for the DHCP server.
It allows you to set the leased time for the specified PC.
You must specify a DNS server IP address here because your ISP
should provide you with usually more than one DNS Server. If
your ISP does not provide it, the modem will automatically apply
default DNS Server IP address: 194.109.6.66 to this field.
your ISP often provides you more than one DNS Server. If your
ISP does not provide it, the modem will automatically apply
default secondary DNS Server IP address: 194.98.0.1 to this field.
