Wireless Mode AP Mode: router serves as an access point in this mode to be connected. The work stations around will be connected with router by SSID to share the Internet resources. To configure the AP mode, open the Basic Setting and Security Setting windows in the Wireless Setting folder.
Wireless-N Broadband Router MAC: To connect certain AP, you need to know the AP's MAC address. By enabling Open Scanning button to find out the available AP’s MAC address. Channel: You can use the channel same as the AP. By enabling Open Scanning button to find out the available AP's channel. Security Mode: router provides the following security authentication methods: (1) WEP: selects ASCII format (5 or 13 ASCII characters except illegal characters.) or Hex format (10 or 26 Hex characters).
Wireless-N Broadband Router KEY 2: If the KEY 2 is selected as default key, the key will be enabled. KEY 3: If the KEY 3 is selected as default key, the key will be enabled. KEY 4: If the KEY 4 is selected as default key, the key will be enabled. WPA/WPA2 Algorithm: When the WPA-PSK /WPA2-PSK authentication is selected, you can select one from two: TKIP and AES. For example, if the wireless provider selects TKIP, the wireless receiver (client) also needs to select TKIP for this authentication way.
Wireless-N Broadband Router Basic Settings Network Mode: Supports 802.11b/g mixed, 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11b/g/n mixed modes. Main SSID: Main Service Set Identifier.

BSSID: It is a 48bit identity used to identify a particular BSS (Basic Service Set) within an area.
Wireless-N Broadband Router 1. Mixed WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), a basic encryption method, usually encrypts wireless data using a series of digital keys (64 bits or 128 bits in length). By using the same keys on each of your wireless network devices, you can prevent unauthorized wireless devices from monitoring your transmissions or using your wireless resources. SSID Choice: Select SSID to be configured security.
Wireless-N Broadband Router 2. WPA-Personal WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), a Wi-Fi standard, is a more recent wireless encryption scheme, designed to improve the security features of WEP. It applies more powerful encryption types (such as TKIP [Temporal Key Integrity Protocol] or AES [Advanced Encryption Standard]) and can change the keys dynamically on every authorized wireless device. WPA Algorithms: Select one encryption type, AES or TKIP. (AES is stronger than TKIP.
Wireless-N Broadband Router 3. WPA2-Personal WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2), It's more secure than Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and easy to set up.
