Chapter 5: Wireless Tab

The Wireless tab contains everything needed by the

operator to set up the wireless part of the link. This

includes device wireless mode, SSID, country settings,

channel and frequency settings, data rates, and wireless

security.

Basic Wireless Settings

The general wireless settings, such as wireless mode,

wireless network name (SSID), country code, 802.11 mode,

output power and data rates can be configured in this

section.

Wireless Mode Allows you to specify the operating

mode of the device. The mode depends on the network

topology requirements. There are 4 operating modes

supported on the AirRouter HP: Station, Station WDS,

Access Point, Access Point WDS.

• Station This is a client mode, which connects the

AirRouter HP to an Access Point. In Station mode,

the AirRouter HP acts as the subscriber Station while

connecting to the Access Point. The SSID of the

Access Point is used and all the traffic to/from the

network devices connected to the Ethernet interface is

forwarded.

Subscriber Station uses the arpnat technique which may

result in a lack of transparency while passing-through

broadcast packets in bridge mode.
