Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast its presence for anyone to connect to it. Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable. There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the first security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than now encryption. WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advanced WPA2 standard wireless networks have finally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks. WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) Open System will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one configured on the access point, the access point will return a success message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one configured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from the wireless client. Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one configured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge to the client. The client will then again send a confirmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a successful or a denial packet back to the wireless client. Encryption:
Use the radio button to disable or enable encryption. Key Type*:
Select HEX or ASCII. Key Size:
Select 64 Bits or 128 Bits. Key Index (1-4):
Select the 1st through the 4th key to be the active key. Key:
Input up to four keys for encryption. You will select one of these keys in the Key Index drop-down menu.
**Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.
*ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using numbers ranging from 0-127. 17 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualSection 3 - Configuration WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP). Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2) WPA-EAP requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication. WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network. Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today. WPA2 is an upgrade of WPA. WPA2 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2 has two variations called WPA2-Personal
(PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) which is the same as found with WPA. WPA Mode:
When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication type, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use different algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2. Cipher Type:
When you select WPA-Personal, you must also select AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu. Group Key Update:
Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. The default value of 1800 is recommended. Pass Phrase:
When you select WPA-Personal, please enter a Pass Phrase in the corresponding field. 18 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualSection 3 - Configuration WPA Mode:
When WPA-Enterprise is selected, you must also select a WPA mode from the drop-down menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only, or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use different algorithms. AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA and WPA2. Cipher Type:
When WPA-Enterprise is selected, you must also select a cipher type from the drop-down menu: Auto, AES, or TKIP. Group Key Update Interval:
Select the interval during which the group key will be valid. 1800 is the recommended value as a lower interval may reduce data transfer rates. Network Access Protection:
Enable or disable Microsoft Network Access Protection. RADIUS Server:
Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Port:

Data Rate*:
Beacon Interval (40-500):
The different combination of clients that can be supported include Mixed 802.11n, 802.11g and 802.11b, Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b and 802.11n Only in the 2.4 GHz band and Mixed 802.11n, 802.11a, 802.11a only, and 802.11n Only in the 5 GHz band. Please note that when backwards compatibility is enabled for legacy (802.11a/g/b) clients, degradation of 802.11n wireless performance is expected. Indicate the base transfer rate of wireless adapters on the wireless LAN. The AP will adjust the base transfer rate depending on the base rate of the connected device. If there are obstacles or interference, the AP will step down the rate. This option is enabled in Mixed 802.11g and 802.11b mode (for 2.4 GHz) and 802.11a only mode (for 5 GHz). The choices available are Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6 for 5 GHz and Best (Up to 54), 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6, 11, 5.5, 2 or 1 for 2.4 GHz. Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value in milliseconds. The default (100) is recommended. Setting a higher beacon interval can help to save the power of wireless clients, while setting a lower one can help a wireless client connect to an access point faster. DTM Interval (1-15):
Select a Delivery Traffic Indication Message setting between 1 and 15. 1 is the default setting. DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. 23 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualSection 3 - Configuration Transmit Power:
This setting determines the power level of the wireless transmission. Transmitting power can be adjusted to eliminate overlapping of wireless area coverage between two access points where interference is a major concern. For example, if wireless coverage is intended for half of the area, then select 50% as the option. Use the drop-down menu to select 100%, 50%, 25%, or 12.5%. WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia):

D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you want, whenever and wherever you want it. Enjoy the freedom that wireless networking can bring to you. WLAN use is not only increasing in both home and office environments, but in public areas as well, such as airports, coffee shops and universities. Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are allowing people to work and communicate more efficiently. Increased mobility and the absence of cabling and other types of fixed infrastructure have proven to be beneficial to many users. Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards, allowing wireless users to use the same applications as those used on a wired network. People use WLAN technology for many different purposes:
Mobility - productivity increases when people can have access to data in any location within the operating range of their WLAN. Management decisions based on real-time information can significantly improve the efficiency of a worker. Low implementation costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can benefit from WLANs ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical. Installation and network expansion - by avoiding the complications of troublesome cables, a WLAN system can be fast and easy during installation, especially since it can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology provides more versatility by extending the network beyond the home or office. Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DAP-2682 saves money by providing users with multi-functionality configurable in four different modes. Scalability - Configurations can be easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer networks, suitable for a small number of users to larger Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed. 88 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics Wireless Installation Considerations The D-Link Access Point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce your adapters range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. 2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 3. 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. 4. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on the range. Try to position access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal. 5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise. 6. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use. 89 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualAppendix A - Wireless Basics This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-2682. Read the following descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows XP. If you have a different operating system, the screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.) Troubleshooting Why cant I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility. Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari 4 or higher Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned off, the link light may not be on. Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it. Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Double-click the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their Configure your Internet settings:

Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times. Close your web browser (if open) and open it. page for your the web management. If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the access point for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your access point. Unfortunately, this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults. To reset the access point, locate the reset button (hole) on the rear panel of the unit. With the access point powered on, use a paperclip to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the button and the access point will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the access point. The default IP address is 192.168.0.50. When logging in, the username is admin and leave the password box empty. 90 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualAppendix B - Troubleshooting How to check your IP address?
After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below. Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK. At the prompt, type ipconfig and press Enter. This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of your adapter. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router. Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters. If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coffee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify their wireless network settings. 91 D-Link DAP-2682 User ManualAppendix B - Troubleshooting How to statically assign an IP address?

The customers sole and exclusive remedy and the entire liability of D-Link and its suppliers under this Limited Warranty will be, at D-Links option, to replace the non-conforming Software (or defective media) with software that substantially conforms to D-Links functional specifications for the Software or to refund the portion of the actual purchase price paid that is attributable to the Software. Except as otherwise agreed by DLink in writing, the replacement Software is provided only to the original licensee, and is subject to the terms and conditions of the license granted by D-Link for the Software. Replacement Software will be warranted for the remainder of the original Warranty Period and is subject to the same limitations and exclusions. If a material non-conformance is incapable of correction, or if D-Link determines in its sole discretion that it is not practical to replace the non-conforming Software, the price paid by the original licensee for the non-conforming Software will be refunded by D-Link; provided that the non-conforming Software (and all copies thereof) is first returned to D-Link. The license granted respecting any Software for which a refund is given automatically terminates. Non-Applicability of Warranty:
