Set SSID using 1 - 32 alphanumeric characters. Wireless authentication Specifies an authentication method used when connecting to a wireless device. WPL-05G300 Series User Manual 52 Chapter 3 Configuration Parameter Meaning Wireless encryption You may use any of the following types of encryption:
No encryption Data is transmitted without encryption. With this setting, anyone within range can connect to your wireless network and might be able to access data on the network. Not recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. [No encryption] can be selected only when [No authentication] is selected for wireless authentication. WEP WEP is a common encryption method supported by most devices. WEP can only be selected when wireless authentication is set to [No authentication]. Note that WEPs encryption is weak, and networks protected with WEP are not much more secure than those with no encryption at all. Not recommended for anyone with private data that needs to be kept secure. AES AES is more secure than WEP, and faster. Use a pre-shared-key to communicate with a wireless device. AES can be selected only when WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is selected for wireless authentication. TKIP/AES mixed mode TKIP/AES mixed mode allows both TKIP and AES authentication and communication. This is no more secure than TKIP alone, but more convenient for some users. TKIP/AES mixed mode can be selected only when WPA/WPA2 mixed mode - PSK is selected for wireless authentication. A pre-shared key or passphrase is the password for your wireless connections. There are two different formats for a pre-shared key. Use 8 to 63 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive) for an ASCII passphrase, or use 64 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case-
sensitive) for a hexadecimal passphrase. Set the update interval for the encryption key between 0 and 1440
(minutes). A WEP encryption key (passphrase) may have any of four different formats. An ASCII passphrase may use either 5 or 13 alphanumeric characters (case-sensitive). A hexadecimal passphrase may use either 10 or 26 alphanumeric characters (0 to 9 and a to f, not case-sensitive). WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key) Rekey interval Set up WEP encryption key WPL-05G300 Series User Manual 53 Chapter 3 Configuration Advanced Configure advanced wireless settings. Parameter Multicast Rate DTIM Period Privacy Separator Meaning Set the communication speed of multi-cast packets. Set the beacon responding interval (1 -255) for which the AirStation responds to a wireless device. This setting is effective only when power management is enabled for the wireless device. If enabled, the Privacy Separator blocks communication between wireless devices connected to the AirStation. Wireless devices will be able to connect to the Internet but not with each other. Devices that are connected to the AirStation with wired connections will still be able to connect to wireless devices normally. WPL-05G300 Series User Manual 54 Chapter 3 Configuration WMM Set priorities for specific communications. WPL-05G300 Series User Manual 55 Chapter 3 Configuration Parameter Meaning WMM-EDCA Parameters You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default settings is recommended. Priority The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and
(Low) 1. From the queue, these packets are processed in order of priority. CWmin, CWmax The maximum and minimum value of the contention window. The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally, the smaller the value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send. AIFSN The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as the window defined by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As a result, the priority of the queue is higher. TXOP Limit The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more frames can be sent per right to send. However, the queue may interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0
(zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send. Admission Control Restricts new frames from interfering with a previous queue. New packets are prioritized lower until a queue of them is collected. As the new queue accumulates more packets, its priority increases. WPL-05G300 Series User Manual 56 Chapter 3 Configuration MAC Filter Restrict access to specific wireless devices. Parameter Meaning Enforce MAC Filtering Registration List Enable to restrict wireless connections to devices with registered MAC addresses.

What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?
Answer:
There are many environmental factors that may cause this. First, ensure the issue is not range related by moving the AirStation and the client device closer together. If the connection drops continue, then range is probably not the issue. Other 2.4 GHz devices such as microwaves, other wireless networks, and 2.4 GHz wireless phones may impact performance. Try a different wireless channel for your AirStation. Log in to the AirStation with your browser. Click on the Wireless Config tab and then the Basic tab. Wireless channels from 1 - 11 may be selected. Try the Auto-Channel option if available. Otherwise, manually select an alternate channel and click [Apply]. Issue:
Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my AirStation, I am unable to access the Internet with my web browser. Answer:
First, power off the cable or DSL modem, the AirStation, and your computer. Move the router's mode switch to the on position. Verify that the modem is connected to the AirStation with an Ethernet cable to the WAN port. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the AirStation and wait another minute. Power on the computer. Open a browser on the computer and navigate to a familiar website to verify whether the Internet connection is functioning normally. If after these steps, an Internet connection is still unavailable, power off the cable or DSL modem and computer again and directly connect your computer to the cable or DSL modem with a cable between the computer and the port on the modem. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the computer and again check for an Internet connection. If an Internet connection IS NOT available with a direct connection to the computer, please call the Internet Service Provider who installed the modem. If an Internet connection IS available with a direct connection to the computer, please call our customer support. Issue:
