Wireless Status Page

This page show a histogram to represent wireless channel status on your environment,
channel loading value between 0~100, higher value represents heavy traffic on this
channel. For example: value 0 means no network traffic transmits on this channel, value
100 means the channel is heavy congested.
If you encounter the situation of wireless throughput degraded or slow response of
network transmission, you may consider choosing a less congested channel base on the
information provided by this page, and change you wireless channel on Wireless Basic
Page.

Setting Up Your Wireless LAN

You can use the CH6643E as an access point for a wireless LAN (WLAN) without
changing its default settings.
To enable security for your WLAN, you can do the following on the CH6643E:

Encrypt wireless LAN transmissions

Restrict wireless LAN access to further prevent unauthorized WLAN intrusions using
the Wireless Access Control Page
CAUTION: Never provide your SSID, WPA or WEP passphrase, or
WEP key to anyone who is not authorized to use your WLAN.
Connect at least one computer to the CH6643E Ethernet port to perform configuration.
Do not attempt to configure the CH6643E over a wireless connection.
You need to configure each wireless client (station) to access the CH6643E LAN.
Another step to improve wireless security is to place wireless components away from
windows. This decreases the signal strength outside the intended area.
