3. Wireless Configuration and Security
This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your ProSafe Dual Band
Wireless-N Access Point WNDAP360. This chapter includes the following sections:
• Wireless Data Security Options
• Security Profiles
• Configure RADIUS Server Settings
• Restrict Wireless Access by MAC Address
• Schedule the Wireless Radio to Be Turned Off
• Configure Basic Wireless Quality of Service
Before you set up wireless security and additional wireless featu
res that are described in this
chapter, connect the wireless access point, get the Internet connection working, and
configure the 802.11b , 11bg, or 11ng wireless settings and the 802.11a or 11na wireless
settings as described in Chapter 2, Installation and Basic Configuration. The wireless access
point should work with an Ethernet LAN connection, a
nd wireless connectivity should have
been verified before you set up wireless security and additional wireless features. In planning
your wireless network, consider the level of security required.
WARNING!
If you are configuring the wireless access point from a wireless
computer and you change the wireless access point’s SSID,
channel, or wireless security settings, you will lose your wireless
connection when you click Apply. You then need to change the
wireless settings of your computer to match the wireless access
point’s new settings.
Wireless Data Security Options
Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11n wireless networks at a maximum range of
300 feet. Typically, a wireless access point inside a bu
ilding works best with devices within a
100 foot radius. Such distances can allow for others outside your immediate area to access
your network.
