802.11 Mode. (Default [Mixed 802.11 b/g/n]). Select Wi-Fi
operating mode (802.11b/g/n, 802.11b/g, 802.11n, 802.11b,
802.11g).
Enable Auto Channel Scan. When the power is first turned on,
the MBR1200 will check the available wireless bands for the least-
used channel.
Wireless Channel. (Default: randomly selected among channels
appropriate for 802.11 setting). Channel to transmit and receive.
Channels 1 through 11 are available for 802.11 b/g/n in the U.S.
Check if you employ channel planning in your building.
Transmission Rate. (Default: Best). By default the fastest
possible transmission rate will be selected. You have the option of
selecting the speed if necessary. Channel rates are doubled for MCS when Channel Width is set to 40 MHz.
Channel Width. The Auto 20/40 MHz option is usually best. The other options are available for special circumstances.
Visibility Status. Whether or not the SSID will be visible on the LAN. The Invisible option allows you to hide your wireless network. When this
option is set to Visible, your wireless network name is broadcast to anyone within the range of your signal. If you're not using encryption then they
could connect to your network. When Invisible mode is enabled, you must enter the Wireless Network Name (SSID) on the client manually to
connect to the network.
4.6.2 Wireless (WI-FI) Security Mode
Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless
transmissions to and from your wireless network can be easily
intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users.
Security Mode. (Default:WPA-Personal). The MBR1200 supports
three wireless security modes including: WEP, WPA-Personal,
and WPA-Enterprise. WEP is the original wireless encryption
standard, and is not considered as secure as WPA. WEP should
only be used if encryption is needed, but WPA encryption is not
supported by your client devices.
WPA provides a higher level of security, and is the recommended security setting for most users. WPA-Personal does not require an
authentication server. The WPA-Enterprise option requires an external RADIUS server for authentication.
