4.13. Wi-Fi Settings
The Wi-Fi Settings menu, accessible through the Advanced settings mode, groups all the advanced options related to
the router’s Wi-Fi network. The description of each submenu appears below.
Channels
In this submenu, you can change the channel, band and extension channel of your router. To perform the conguration,
select the options in the checkboxes, click Save and wait for the conguration to be completed following the on-screen
instructions.
Important: changing Wi-Fi channels will cause a momentary disconnection in the wireless network. If you are doing
this process connected to your router via wireless network, you may need to reconnect to Wi-Fi and access the conguration
page again if you wish to perform new settings.
Tip: there are free applications for computers and smartphones that allow you to check if your Wi-Fi network is sharing
the operating channel with other devices. When this occurs, the network performs worse. If you wish, you can check
which channel is less busy using one of these applications, and then congure it on the router.
Security
The Security submenu allows you to change the password details of the router’s Wi-Fi network, as well as enable the
option not to disclose the network name (SSID).
» Do not disclose network name: when enabled, the network name (SSID) will not be listed on the devices, i.e., it
will be hidden. To access your network, you will need to know the network name previously and congure it manually
on the devices.
» Security Mode: this checkbox provides the security modes available for use. These are: Open, WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-
PSK and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.
» WEP mode: this box is displayed when the selected safety mode is WEP . Through it, you can choose in which mode you
want to set your password: HEXA or ASCII .
» Encryption mode: this box is displayed when the selected security mode is other than Open or WEP . Through this box
you can dene the encryption to be used for router security. The options are: AES, TKIP and AES/TKIP.
» Wi-Fi password: in this eld you can enter the password you want for your network. The system will guide the lling in
through feedbacks, so that a password consistent with the selected security mode can be set.
Important: we recommend using the Name and Passwords menu to set the Wi-Fi password. This way the best options will
be applied automatically.
Wi-Fi Activation
This feature allows your router’s radio to be disabled, no longer providing a Wi-Fi network. This option, however, has no
effect on the cable connections, i.e., they will continue to function normally.
To enable or disable Wi-Fi, use the Wireless Network control, click Save , and wait for the conguration to complete.
Important: If you disable Wi-Fi from a device connected via Wi-Fi, you will not be able to continue browsing the
conguration page options after saving.
Access Control
This feature allows you to control access to your Wi-Fi network via the MAC address of your devices.
The entire device block and unblock mechanism is based on the global policy that can be selected through the checkbox:
» Disabled: access is allowed to any device.
» Allow listed: access is blocked for any device that is not on the address list.
» Deny listed: access is blocked for devices added to the address list.
To set the global policy just select the desired mode and click Save .
To add a device to the address list, click the Add new address link, ll in the Address eld with the MAC address of the
device you want to block or release, and click Add.
