  • Page 8 Wireless LAN Basics A Wireless LAN (WLAN) is a computer network that transmits and receives data with radio signals instead of using cables. WLANs have become common in homes, offices, airports and public Hotspots. WLAN can support the same applications and software that run on a wired network (LAN).
  • Page 9 Make sure that APs are located far away from one another to avoid interference. Interference Interference happens when 2 APs with the same channels are placed near to one another. The speed of the network drops and the signal strength fluctuates wildly. Roaming Association happens when the SSID, Encryption and MAC Address Control settings are correct between the AP and client.
  • Page 10: Basic Ip Networking

    The Router is connected to 2 networks at the same time. Therefore, it has two IP addresses: one for the LAN, and one for the WAN. The Router’s LAN IP address can be configured, but it is best to use the default settings. The WAN port is a MOBI PPPoE client by default. Page 8 of 54...
