3. Configuration

AirLive N450R User’s Manual

3. Wireless Schedule

You can limit Wi-Fi functions in a period of time if required.

4. Channel

The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory

Domain. The factory default setting is as follow: channel 1~11 for North America.

(Channel 1~13 for European (ETSI); channel1~ 14 for Japan).

5. Network ID (SSID)

Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client stations can roam

freely over this device and other Access Points that have the same Network ID. (The

factory default setting is “airlive2.4g”)

6. SSID Broadcast

The router will broadcast beacons that have some information, including SSID so that

wireless clients can know how many AP devices by scanning the network. Therefore, if

this setting is configured as “Disable”, the wireless clients cannot find the device from

beacons.

7. Wireless Mode

Choose “B/G mixed”, “B only”, “G only”, “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N mixed”.

The factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed”.

8. Authentication

You may select one of authentication to secure your wireless network: Open, Shared,

Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2, WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.

(A) Open

Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an

authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC

address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a

success or failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC

address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.

(B) Shared

Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the

authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is

manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key

authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN environments.

The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.

(D) WPA-PSK

Select Encryption and Pre-share Key Mode, if you select HEX, you have to fill in 64

hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits. If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key

is from 8 to 63. Fill in the key (e.g. 12345678)

(E) WPA

Check Box was used to switch the function of the WPA. When the WPA function is

enabled, the Wireless user must authenticate to this router first to use the Network

service. RADIUS Server IP address or the 802.1X server’s domain-name. Select
