WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each devices documentation to make sure). Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves. For more information on using WPS, see Section 3.5 on page 19. WRE6505 Users Guide 12 CHAPTER 2 WRE6505 Modes 2.1 Overview This chapter introduces the different modes available on your WRE6505.

You should know the security settings of the target AP (Section 9.6 on page 56). 9.3 What You Should Know Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines. Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. 9.3.1 Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. WRE6505 Users Guide 53 Chapter 9 Wireless LAN 9.3.1.1 MAC Address List Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate Users Guide or other documentation. You can use the MAC Address List to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings. This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network. 9.3.1.2 Encryption Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message. Table 16 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication Weakest Strongest NO AUTHENTICATION No Security Static WEP WPA-PSK WPA2-PSK For example, if users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no authentication, if users do log on to the wireless network, you can choose No Security, Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA-PSK. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network. Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly. Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key. 1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses. 2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. WRE6505 Users Guide 54 Chapter 9 Wireless LAN 9.3.1.3 WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 8.3 on page 43. 9.4 General Wireless LAN Screen Use this screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode. Note: If you are configuring the WRE6505 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the WRE6505s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm.

If the DHCP setting under LAN information is None, your device has a fixed IP address. If the DHCP setting under LAN information is Client, then your device receives an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. If your WRE6505 is a DHCP client, you can find your IP address from the DHCP server. This information is only available from the DHCP server which allocates IP addresses on your network. Find this information directly from the DHCP server or contact your system administrator for more information. Reset your WRE6505 to change all settings back to their default. This means your current settings are lost. See Section 12.4 on page 80 in the Troubleshooting for information on resetting your WRE6505. I forgot the username and password. 1 2 The default username is admin and default password is 1234. If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 11.6.3 on page 70. I cannot see or access the Login screen in the Web Configurator. 1 Make sure you are using the correct IP address. WRE6505 Users Guide 77 Chapter 12 Troubleshooting The default IP address is 192.168.1.2. If you changed the IP address, use the new IP address. If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I dont know the IP address of my WRE6505. 2 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide. 3 Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScript and Java enabled. 4 Make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the WRE6505. (If you know that there are routers between your computer and the WRE6505, skip this step.) If there is a DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer is using a dynamic IP address. If there is no DHCP server on your network, make sure your computers IP address is in the same subnet as the WRE6505. 5 6 Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the WRE6505 with the default IP address. If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions. Advanced Suggestions If your computer is connected wirelessly, use a computer that is connected to a LAN/ETHERNET port. I can see the Login screen, but I cannot log in to the WRE6505. 1 Make sure you have entered the password correctly. The default username is admin and default password is 1234. This field is case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on. 2 This can happen when you fail to log out properly from your last session. Try logging in again after 5 minutes. 3 Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the WRE6505. 4 If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 12.4 on page 80. 12.3 Internet Access I cannot access the Internet. WRE6505 Users Guide 78 Chapter 12 Troubleshooting 1 2 3 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide. Try to connect directly to the AP. If you can access the Internet, check that the WRE6505 has associated with the AP by checking the WLAN STA Information SSID field shows the SSID of the AP. See Section 9.4 on page 55. If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the AP. 4 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again. 5 If the problem continues, contact your ISP. I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the WRE6505), but my Internet connection is not available anymore. 1 2 3 4 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.3 on page 10. Reboot the WRE6505. Try to connect directly to the AP. If you can access the Internet, check that the WRE6505 has associated with the AP by checking the WLAN STA Information SSID field shows the SSID of the AP. See Section 9.4 on page 55. If the problem continues, contact your ISP. The Internet connection is slow or intermittent. 1 2 3 4 There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Look at the LEDs, and check Section 1.3 on page 10. If the WRE6505 is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the WRE6505 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on). Reboot the WRE6505. If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions. Advanced Suggestion Check the settings for QoS. If it is disabled, you might consider activating it. WRE6505 Users Guide 79 Chapter 12 Troubleshooting 12.4 Resetting the WRE6505 to Its Factory Defaults If you reset the WRE6505, you lose all of the changes you have made. The WRE6505 re-loads its default settings, and the username/password resets to admin/1234. You have to make all of your changes again. You will lose all of your changes when you reset the WRE6505 to its factory defaults. To reset the WRE6505, 1 Make sure the power LED is on. 2 3 Press the WPS button for longer than 10 seconds, the Power LED begins to blink, to set the WRE6505 back to its factory-default configuration. OR Click Maintenance > Backup/Restore > Restore and then click Reset. If the WRE6505 restarts automatically, wait for the WRE6505 to finish restarting, and log in to the Web Configurator. The username is admin and password is 1234. If the WRE6505 does not restart automatically, disconnect and reconnect the WRE6505s power. Then, follow the directions above again. 12.5 Wireless Problems I cannot access the WRE6505 or ping any computer from the WLAN. 1 Make sure the wireless LAN is enabled on the WRE6505. 2 Make sure the wireless adapter on the wireless station is working properly. 3 Make sure the wireless adapter installed on your computer is IEEE 802.11 compatible and supports the same wireless standard as the WRE6505. 4 Make sure your computer (with a wireless adapter installed) is within the transmission range of the WRE6505. 5 Check that both the WRE6505 and your wireless station are using the same wireless and wireless security settings, and that both the WRE6505 and the AP are using the same wireless and wireless security settings. 6 Make sure traffic between the WLAN and the LAN is not blocked by the MAC Address List of the WRE6505. See Section 9.7 on page 57. WRE6505 Users Guide 80 APPENDIX A Setting Up Your Computers IP Address Note: Your specific WRE6505 may not support all of the operating systems described in this appendix.
