9.5 Wireless Security
Use this part of the General screen to select the wireless security mode. Click Network >
Wireless LAN to open the General screen. The screen varies depending on what you select in the
Security Mode field.
9.5.1 No Security
Select No Security to allow wireless clients to communicate with the access points without any
data encryption.
Channel Width Select whether the EMG2306-R10A uses a wireless channel width of 20MHz\ or Auto. If
Auto is selected, the EMG2306-R10A will use 40MHz if it is supported.
A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 150Mbps whereas a 40MHz
channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300 Mbps.
40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to
increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to
use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal.
Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in
your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.
This field is available only when you set the 802.11 Mode to 802.11n or
802.11b+g+n in the Advanced Setup screen.
802.11 Mode Select 802.11b Only to allow only IEEE 802.11b compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the EMG2306-R10A.
Select 802.11g Only to allow only IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate
with the EMG2306-R10A.
Select 802.11b+g to allow either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the EMG2306-R10A. The transmission rate of your EMG2306-
R10A might be reduced.
Select 802.11n to allow only IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN devices to associate with
the EMG2306-R10A.
Select 802.11g+n to allow either IEEE 802.11g or IEEE 802.11n compliant WLAN
devices to associate with the EMG2306-R10A. The transmission rate of your EMG2306-
R10A might be reduced.
Select 802.11b+g+n to allow IEEE 802.11b, IEEE 802.11g or IEEE802.11n compliant
WLAN devices to associate with the EMG2306-R10A. The transmission rate of your
EMG2306-R10A might be reduced.
