3.4.2 Security
This section allows you to secure your wireless network. Here we introduce 4 security modes to you.
WEP
WEP is intended to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Two
types of encryption can be used with WEP: Open and Shared Key.

802.11n lndoor Wireless Access Point
11
1. Encryption Type: Select Open or Shared from the drop-down list.
2. WEP Key: Select Hex orASCII from the drop-down list. Enter 5 or 13 validASCII characters
(0-9,a-z,A-Z,@,*,-,_ can be included) if you selectASCII or enter 10 or 26 valid Hex
characters (0-9,a-f,A-F can be included) if you select Hex.
WPA-PSK
The WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access) protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It
enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit
per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a
message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being tampered with. Only authorized
network users can access the wireless network. WPA adopts enhanced encryption algorithm over WEP.
1. Cipher Type: Select AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol)
&AES.
2. Security Key: Enter a security key, which must be between 8-63 ASCII characters long.
3. Key Update Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed.
WPA2-PSK
WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2) is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard
(AES) instead of TKIP. It is more secured than WPA and WEP.

802.11n lndoor Wireless Access Point
12
1. Cipher Type: Select AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol)
&AES.
2. Security Key: Enter a security key, which must be between 8-63 ASCII characters long.
3. Key Update Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed.
3.4.3 WDS
Wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in
an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points
without the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. Note: The Access Points you select
must support WDS.
1. WDS Mode: Select Disable, Repeater Mode or Bridge Mode.
2. AP MAC Address: Displays the remote AP’s MAC address.
For Example:
W75AP1 LAN IP: 192.168.0.254
W75AP2 LAN IP: 192.168.0.253
WDS Mode: Repeater Mode
Configure W75AP1:
1. Enter the remote AP’s MAC address and click OK.

802.11n lndoor Wireless Access Point
13
2．You can also scan the remoteAP.
1）Click Open Scan to select the remoteAP and click OK to add the corresponding MAC address
automatically.
2) Click OK to save your settings.
Then follow the steps mentioned above to configure the W75AP2. After the two APs have added each
other, they can be bridged successfully.
Note -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. In WDS mode, the two APs should support WDS and you should keep their SSIDs, channels, security
modes and keys the same. As for IP address, they should not be the same but on the same network
segment;
2. Once the security mode has been changed, please reboot the device.
3. If one of theAPs is in Bridge Mode, the remote one must be in Repeater Mode.
4. In Bridge mode, clients won’t be able to access the device’s primary SSID.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4.4 Universal Repeater
Select Universal Repeater and enable scan to automatically populate SSID and channel of the AP to
connect or manually enter theAP's SSID, channel and security key.

802.11n lndoor Wireless Access Point
14
Note -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Enabling scan does not populate the security key, so you must still manually enter it.
2. Make sure your (local) AP, PCs connected and the remoteAP to connect are on the same subnet with
different IP addresses.
3. If ping requests sent from PCs connected to your local AP are properly replied by the targeted remote
AP, Universal Repeater is successfully operating; if not, check your settings again.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3.4.5 Access Control
Specify a list of devices to allow or disallow a connection to your wireless network via the device's MAC
addresses. To deactivate this feature, select "Disable"; to activate it, select "Allow" or "Deny"
(2.4GHz/5GHz).
MAC Filter Mode: Select Allow or Deny from the drop-down list.
1.To permit a wireless device to connect to your wireless network, select Allow, enter its MAC address,
click Add and then OK. Then only this device listed as “Allowed” will be able to connect to your
wireless network; all other wireless devices will be forbidden.
2.To disallow a wireless device to connect to your wireless network, select Deny, enter its MAC address,

802.11n lndoor Wireless Access Point
15
click Add and then OK. Then this device listed as “Denied” will be unable to connect to your wireless
network.
3.4.6Advanced
This section allows you to configure advanced wireless settings (2.4GHz or 5GHz). If you are new to
networking and have never configured these settings before, we recommend you to leave the default
settings unchanged.
1. RF Preamble: This is used to synchronize frames. Do not change it unless necessary.
2. Beacon Interval: This is a time interval between any 2 consecutive Beacon packets sent by an
Access Point to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a valid Beacon Interval
value between 20-999. The default value is 100.
3. Fragment Threshold: Specify a valid Fragment Threshold value between 256-2346. The default
value is 2346. Any wireless packet exceeding the preset value will be divided
into several fragments before transmission.
4. RTS Threshold: Specify a valid RTS Threshold value between 1-2347. The default is 2347. If a
packet exceeds the preset value, RTS/CTS scheme will be used to reduce collisions.
Set it to a smaller value if there are distant clients and interference.
5. DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a countdown informing clients
of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When such
packets arrive at device’s buffer, the device will send DTIM (delivery traffic indication
message) and DTIM interval to wake clients up for receiving these packets. Specify a
valid value between 1-255. The default is 1.
6. TX Power Percentage: Control TX power . Specify a value between 50 - 100. The default is 100.
3.5 SNMP
The Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) is widely used in local area networks (LANs) for
collecting information, managing, and monitoring network devices, such as servers, printers, hubs,
switches, and routers. Specialized software in each SNMP capable device, known as an Agent,
continuously monitors the status of the device and reports the results to the SNMP Manager software,
which can then act on the report. This device supports both SNMP v1 and SNMP v2.

802.11n lndoor Wireless Access Point

Click Enable to enable the SNMP feature.
1. Get Community: Specify a community for reading SNMP agent information;
2. Set Community: Specify a community for writing SNMP agent information.
