MBSSID AP Isolation: One access control feature based on wireless MAC address. When this feature is
enabled, wireless clients connected to the same SSID cannot communicate with each other.
AP Isolation: One access control feature based on SSID. When this feature is enabled, each of your
wireless clients will be in its own virtual network and will not be able to communicate with each other.
When this feature is enabled, wireless clients connected to the Main SSID and Minor SSID cannot
communicate with each other, which can strongly secure the wireless network.
Channel: Specify the effective channel (from 1 to 13\Auto) of the wireless network.
Extension Channel: To increase data throughput of the wireless network, the extension channel range is
used in 11n mode.
Channel Bandwidth: Select the channel bandwidth to improve the wireless performance. When the
network has 11b/g and 11n clients, you can select the 40M; when it is an 11n network, select 20/40M to
improve its throughput.
6.2 Wireless Security Settings
This is used to configure the AP network’s security setting. Here the six (ten in all) common encryption
methods are presented, including Mixed WEP, WPA-personal, WPA-enterprise, WPA2-personal, WPA2-
enterprise, etc.
6.2.1 Mixed WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), a basic encryption method, usually encrypts wireless data using a series of
digital keys (64 bits or 128 bits in length). By using the same keys on each of your wireless network devices,
you can prevent unauthorised wireless devices from monitoring your transmissions or using your wireless
resources. Select Mixed WEP to enter the following window:
Select SSID: Select the SSID (main SSID or minor SSID) to configure security settings from the
drop-down menu.
Security Mode: From the drop-down menu, select the corresponding security encryption modes.
WEP Key1~4: Set the WEP key with the ASCII and Hex format. You can enter ASCII code (5 or 13 ASCII
characters. Illegal characters such as “/” are not allowed.) or 10/26 hex characters.
Default Key: Select one key from the four configured keys as the current available one.
6.2.2 WPA-Personal
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), a Wi-Fi standard, is a more recent wireless encryption scheme, designed to
improve the security features of WEP. It applies more powerful encryption types (such as TKIP [Temporal Key
Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption Standard]) and can change the keys dynamically on every
authorised wireless device.
Select SSID: Select the SSID (main SSID or minor SSID) to configure security settings from the
drop-down menu.
WPA Algorithms: Provides TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption
Standard]. The default is TKIP mode.
Pass Phrase: Enter the encrypted characters with 8-63 ASCII characters.
Key Renewal Interval: Set the key’s renewal period.
6.2.3 WPA2- Personal
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) provides higher security than WEP (Wireless Equivalent Privacy)
and WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access).
Select SSID: Select the SSID (main SSID or minor SSID) to configure security settings from the
drop-down menu.
WPA Algorithms: Provides TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption
Standard]. The default is TKIP mode.
Pass Phrase: Enter the encrypted characters with 8-63
ASCII characters.
