C HAPT ER 6 Wireless LAN 6.1 Overview This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your WRE2205. See Section 1.1 on page 9 for an overview of wireless networks. 6.2 What You Can Do • Use the General screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode (Section 6.4 on page 43). • Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the WRE2205 (Section 6.5 on page 44).
Chapter 6 Wireless LAN 6.3.1 Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. 6.3.1.1 MAC Address Filter Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s Guide or other documentation.
Chapter 6 Wireless LAN Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key. 6.3.1.3 WPS WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually.

C HAPTER 10 Troubleshooting This chapter offers some suggestions to solve problems you might encounter. The potential problems are divided into the following categories. • Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs • WRE2205 Access and Login • Internet Access • Resetting the WRE2205 to Its Factory Defaults • Wireless Problems 10.1 Power, Hardware Connections, and LEDs The WRE2205 does not turn on. None of the LEDs turn on. 1 Make sure you are using the power adaptor or cord included with the WRE2205.
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting 10.2 WRE2205 Access and Login I don’t know the IP address of my WRE2205. 1 Click Start > Run, enter cmd, and then enter Ping zyxelsetupxxxx, where xxxx is the last four digits of the MAC address of the WRE2205. You can find the MAC address on a label on the WRE2205. 2 The default IP address is 192.168.1.2. 3 If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the WRE2205 by looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer.
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting • If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I don’t know the IP address of my WRE2205. 2 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide. 3 Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScript and Java enabled. 4 Make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the WRE2205.
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting 2 Try to connect directly to the AP. If you can access the Internet, check that the WRE2205 has associated with the AP by checking the WLAN STA Information SSID field shows the SSID of the AP. See Section 6.4 on page 43. 3 If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the AP. 4 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again.
Chapter 10 Troubleshooting 10.4 Resetting the WRE2205 to Its Factory Defaults If you reset the WRE2205, you lose all of the changes you have made. The WRE2205 re-loads its default settings, and the username/password resets to admin/1234. You have to make all of your changes again. You will lose all of your changes when you reset the WRE2205 to its factory defaults. To reset the WRE2205, 1 Make sure the power LED is on.
