TL-WA701ND/TL-WA801ND/TL-WA901ND Wireless N Access Point User Guide Appendix C: Troubleshooting T1. How do I restore my Access Point’s configuration to its factory default settings? With the Access Point powered on, use a pin to press and hold the WPS/RESET button on the rear panel for more than 8 seconds before releasing it. Note: Once the Access Point is reset, the current configuration settings will be lost and you will need to reconfigure the Access Point. T2.

TL-WA701ND/TL-WA801ND/TL-WA901ND Wireless N Access Point User Guide Appendix E: Glossary 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.
TL-WA701ND/TL-WA801ND/TL-WA901ND Wireless N Access Point User Guide key technologies behind WPA is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP addresses the encryption weaknesses of WEP. Another key component of WPA is built-in authentication that WEP does not offer. With this feature, WPA provides roughly comparable security to VPN tunneling with WEP, with the benefit of easier administration and use. This is similar to 802.1x support and requires a RADIUS server in order to implement.
