Chapter 7 Wireless The following table describes the general wireless LAN labels in this screen. Table 16 Network Setting > Wireless > General LABEL DESCRIPTION Wireless Network Setup Band This shows the wireless band which this radio profile is using. 2.4GHz is the frequency used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients while 5GHz is used by IEEE 802.11a/ac wireless clients. Wireless You can Enable or Disable the wireless LAN in this field. Channel Use Auto to have the VMG automatically determine a channel to use. Bandwidth Select whether the VMG uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz, 40MHz or 80MHz. A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps. 40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal. An 80MHz channel groups adjacent 40MHz channels into pairs to increase bandwidth even higher. Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding. Control Sideband This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth field to 40MHz. Set whether the control channel (set in the Channel field) should be in the Lower or Upper range of channel bands. Wireless Network Settings Wireless Network Name (SSID) The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is associated. Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN. Max Clients Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time. Hide SSID Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool. Multicast Forwarding Select this check box to allow the VMG to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless unicast traffic. Max. Upstream Specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic to the WAN from this WLAN in Bandwidth kilobits per second (Kbps). Max. Downstream Bandwidth Specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless traffic to this WLAN from the WAN in kilobits per second (Kbps). BSSID This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the VMG when wireless LAN is enabled. Security Level Select Basic (WEP) or More Secure (WPA(2)-PSK) to add security on this wireless network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have same wireless security settings as the VMG. When you select to use a security, additional options appears in this screen. Or you can select No Security to allow any client to associate this network without any data encryption or authentication. Apply Cancel See the following sections for more details about this field.

VMG4825-B10A User’s Guide

The following table describes the general wireless LAN labels in this screen.

Table 16

Network Setting > Wireless > General

LABEL

DESCRIPTION

Wireless Network Setup

Band

This shows the wireless band which this radio profile is using.

2.4GHz

is the frequency used

by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless clients while

5GHz

is used by IEEE 802.11a/ac wireless

clients.

Wireless

You can

Enable

Disable

the wireless LAN in this field.

Channel

Use

Auto

to have the VMG automatically determine a channel to use.

Bandwidth

Select whether the VMG uses a wireless channel width of

20MHz

40MHz

80MHz

A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz

channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.

40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase

throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20

MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.

An 80MHz channel groups

adjacent 40MHz channels into pairs to increase bandwidth even

higher.

Select

20MHz

if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your

neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.

Control

Sideband

This is available for some regions when you select a specific channel and set the Bandwidth

field to

40MHz

. Set whether the control channel (set in the

Channel

field) should be in the

Lower

Upper

range of channel bands.

Wireless Network Settings

Wireless

Network Name

(SSID)

The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies the service set with which a wireless device is

associated. Wireless devices associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID.

Enter a descriptive name (up to 32 English keyboard characters) for the wireless LAN.

Max Clients

Specify the maximum number of clients that can connect to this network at the same time.

Hide SSID

Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station cannot

obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.

Multicast

Forwarding

Select this check box to allow the VMG to convert wireless multicast traffic into wireless

unicast traffic.

Max. Upstream

Bandwidth

Specify the maximum rate for upstream wireless traffic to the WAN from this WLAN in

kilobits per second (Kbps).

Max.

Downstream

Bandwidth

Specify the maximum rate for downstream wireless traffic to this WLAN from the WAN in

kilobits per second (Kbps).

BSSID

This shows the MAC address of the wireless interface on the VMG when wireless LAN is

enabled.

Security Level

Select

Basic (WEP)

More Secure (WPA(2)-PSK)

to add security on this wireless

network. The wireless clients which want to associate to this network must have same

wireless security settings as the VMG. When you select to use a security, additional options

appears in this screen.

Or you can select

No Security

to allow any client to associate this network without any data

encryption or authentication.
