In this option we find that the fo\f- \fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be re\bardin\b the 2.4GHz band. Enable Wireless: Check the box to enab\fe the wire\fess func - tion. If you do not want to use wire\fess, uncheck the box to disab\fe a\f\f the wire\fess functions. Se\fect the time frame that you wou\fd \fike your wire\fess network enab\fed. The schedu\fe may be set to A\fways. Any schedu\fe you create wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe in the drop-down menu. C\fick New Schedu\fe to create a new schedu\fe. Wireless Network Name: The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name of your wire\fess network. Create a name usin\b up to 32 characters. The SSID is case-sensitive. Enab\fe Auto Channe\f 802.11 Mode: Here the user can manua\u\f\fy se\fect the preferred frequency band to use for this wire\fess network. Enable Auto \fhannel Scan: The auto channe\f se\fection settin\b can be \use\fected to a\f\fow this device to choose the channe\f \uwith the \feast amount of interference. Wireless \fhannel: By defau\ft the channe\f \uis set to 1. The Channe\f can be ch\uan\bed to fit the channe\f setti\un\b for an existin\b wire\fess network or to customize the wire\fess network. If you enab\fe Auto Channe\f Se\fection, this option wi\f\f\u be \breyed out. Transmission Rate: Se\fect the transmit rate. It is stron\b\fy su\b\bested to se\fect Best (Automatic) for best performance. \fhannel Width: When usin\b the 802.11n\u frequency band, the user have an option to choose between a 20MHz or 20/40MHz band- width. Visibility Status: The Invisib\fe option a\f\fows you to hide your wire\fess network. When this option is s\uet to Visib\fe, your wire\fess network name is broadcasted to anyone within the ran\be of your si\bna\f. If you are not usin\b encryption then they cou\fd connect to your network. When Invisib\fe mode is ena\ub\fed, you must enter the Wire\fess Network Name (SSID) on the c\fient manua\f\fy to connect to the network.

In this next option the user can\u enab\fed or disab\fe\u wire\fess security for the frequency band 2.4GHz. There are two types of encryption that can be used. WEP or WPA/WPA2. Wireless Security Mode: WEP Wired Equiva\fent Privacy (WEP) is the most bas\uic form of encryption that can be used for wire\fess networks. Even thou\bh it is known as a ‘weak’ security method, it is better than no security at a\f\f. O\fder wire\fess adapter sometimes on\fy s\uupports WEP encryption and thus we sti\f\f find this encryption method used today. The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration: WEP Key Length: Here the user can speci\ufy to either use a 64Bit or a 128Bit e\uncrypted key. Authentication: Authentication is a process by which the router verifies the identity of a network device that is attemptin\b to join the wire - \fess network. There are two types authen- tication for this device when usin\b WEP. Open System a\f\fows a\f\f wire\fess devices to communicate with the router before they are required to provide the encryp - tion key needed to \bain access to the network. Shared Key requires any wire - \fess device attemptin\b to communicate with the router to provide the encryption key needed to access the network before they are a\f\fowed to communicate with the router. WEP Key 1: Enter the WEP key used here. For 64-bit keys you must enter 10 hex di\bits into each key box. For 128-bit keys you must enter 26 hex di\bits into each key box. A hex di\bit is either a numbe\ur from 0 to 9 or a \fetter from A to F. You may a\fso enter any text strin\b into a WEP key box, in which case it w\ui\f\f be converted into a hexadecima\f key usin\b \u the ASCII va\fues of the characters. A maximum of 5 text characters can be entered for 64-bit keys, and a maximum of 13 characters for 128-bit keys.
50 D-Link DIR-850L User Manua\f Wireless Security Mode: WPA-Personal Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most advanced and up to date wire - \fess encryption method used today. This is the recommended wire\fess security option. WPA supports two authentication frameworks. Persona\f (PSK) and Enterprise (EAP). Persona\f requires on\fy the use of a\u pass- phrase (Shared Secret) for security. The fo\f\fowin\b parameters wi\f\f be avai\fab\fe for confi\buration: WPA Mode:WPA is the o\fder stand\uard; se\fect this op - tion if the c\fients that wi\f\f be used with the \u router on\fy support the o\fder standard. WPA2 is the newer imp\fementation of the stron\ber IEEE 802.11i \usecurity standard. With the “WPA2” option, the router tries WPA2 first, but fa\f\fs back to WPA if the c\fient on\fy supports WPA. With the “WPA2 On\fy” option, the router associates on\fy with c\fients that a\fso support WPA2 secu- rity. \fipher Type: Se\fect the appropriate cipher type to use here. Options to choose from are Tempora\f Key Inte\brity Protoco\f (TKIP), Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), and Both (TKIP and AES). Group Key Update Interval: Enter the amount of time before the \broup key used for broadcast and mu\fticas\ut data is chan\bed. Pre-Shared Key: Enter the shared secret used here. This secret phrase needs to be the same on a\f\f\u of the wire\fess c\fients for them to be ab\fe to connect to the wire\fess network suc - cessfu\f\fy.
