Wireless
Using Wireless, you can configure your router for wireless access. There are
three parts on the Wireless page:
Radio Settings: Allows you to configure your Gateway for
wireless access, including Wireless Enable/Disable, Mode,
ESSID, Beacon Interval, RTS Threshold, Preamble Type,
Distribution System, and so on.
Security Setting: Allows you to configure your Gateway for
security issues.
Status: Allows you to find out your Gateway’s AP Radio
statistics and wireless devices of which the AP (Access Point)
is aware.
You can easily toggle between the above three parts on the Wireless page.
On the Radio Settings page, Wireless Distribution System as defined by the
IEEE 802.11 standard has been made available on the Company AP Router
now. Hence, it is possible to wirelessly connect Access Points using up to 8
MAC Addresses of PC cards, so that you can extend a wired infrastructure
to locations where cabling is not available. Thus those users can roam or stay
connected to the available network resources.
