Chapter
4.
Wireless Access Point
Setup
This router has an integrated 802.11n radio that allows you to create an access point for
wireless LAN clients. The security/encryption/authentication options are grouped in a
wireless Profile, and each configured profile will be available for selection in the AP
configuration menu. The profile defines various parameters for the AP, including the
security between the wireless client and the AP, and can be shared between multiple
APs instances on the same device when needed.
The content in this section is applicable to the DSR-500N and DSR-1000N
products.
Up to four unique wireless networks can be created
by configuring multiple “virtual”
APs. Each such virtual AP appears as an independent AP (unique SSID) to supported
clients in the environment, but is actually running on the same physical radio integrated
with this router.
You will need the following information to configure your wireless network:
Types of devices expected to access the wireless network and their supported Wi-
Fi
modes
The
router’s
geographical region
The security settings to use for securing the wireless network.
Profiles may be thought of as a grouping of AP parameters that can then be applied
to not just one but multiple AP instances (SSIDs), thus avoiding duplication if the
same parameters are to be used on multiple AP instances or SSIDs.

Wireless Settings Wizard
Setup > Wizard > Wireless Settings
The Wireless Network Setup Wizard is available for users new to networking. By
going through a few straightforward configuration pages you can enable a Wi-
Fi™
network on your LAN and allow supported 802.11 clients to connect to the configured
Access Point.
