Configuring the Access Point as an Access Point

By default, the is configured as an access point. If you are using a Windows operating system and have followed the installation instructions in this guide, your basic configuration is complete.

If you have configured your access point in another mode and wish to configure it as an access point again, perform the following procedure.

Type the IP address of your access point in your Web browser's location or address line and press ENTER.
When prompted, enter your user name and password for the access point and press ENTER.
Click the Wireless tab.
For the Wireless Network Type, select Access Point.
If you want other networking devices to be able to detect the access point when performing a site scan, select Broadcast Network Name.
If the access point will be used in a public place where you do not want wireless clients to be able to share files or printers among themselves, select Access point isolation.
Enter the Network name (SSID) that wireless clients will use to connect to your access point.

Note: If you used SecureEasySetup to configure your wireless security settings, changing the Network Name or other security settings for your access point will cause your connected wireless clients to loose connectivity with the access point.

Note: If you are using multiple s and you want them to use independently, each access point will need a unique Network name.

Select the wireless security settings for your wireless network.

USRobotics strongly recommends that you enable some form of wireless security so that unauthorised clients are not able to access your network.

Note: For your wireless security settings, it is recommended that you select the WPA2 and WPA (PSK) wireless security method using TKIP and AES encryption for a secure wireless network.
If you select I want to specify the devices that can connect to this one, add each wireless router or access point by entering its MAC address and clicking Add.
Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is disabled by default. To enable this feature, select Enable WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) and select your WMM options. For the access point to use this feature, connected WMM devices must also have WMM enabled.

Note: 802.11n mode does not support WMM, and the Acceleration option MAXg (125 Mbps) is incompatible with WMM. You must change the 802.11n mode to Off and set the Acceleration option to 54g+ (Xpress™) to enable WMM.
Enter the Transmission settings for the wireless network.
