Wireless settings

This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your ASUS WL-

AM604g 11g ADSL Wireless Router.

Setting up an SSID

Service Set Identifier (SSID) is also known as the name of a wireless network. To

connect a wireless router, or to form a wireless bridge system, all wireless routers or

APs or clients must have the same SSID.

To set up an SSID:

1. Click Wireless -> Basic in the navigation menu to open the configuration page.

2. Select Enable Wireless checkbox.

If you want to hide your WL-AM604g from wireless scanning, select Hide Access

Point. But if the wireless clients have the correct SSID, they can still connect to your

WL-AM604g.

3. Define the SSID for your WL-AM604g. The default SSID is Default.

4. Press Save/Apply to save and activate the settings.

Setting up a wireless security

To protect your wireless network, you need to set up a security mechanism at both

WL-AM604g and the wireless clients.

Network authentication

Network authentication uses certain types of mechanism to identify authenticated

wireless clients. WL-AM604g supports the following authentication methods:

Open:

This option disables authentication protection for your wireless network.

Under the Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g wireless client can connect to

your wireless network.

Shared:

This means using the same WEP keys for authentication and encryption.

802.1X:

802.1X uses RADIUS (Remote Access Dial-Up User Service) server

to authenticate wireless clients with a username and password. It can

authenticate users with different levels of access rights.
