4.1.2 Repeater Mode

Step 1: Mode Select and Site Survey

Mode select: Please select the sub mode you want to use. You can select Repeater, Repeating Router or Client mode. For further information about those sub modes, please refer to our user's manual.

Mode: Repeater

Site Survey:

This page provides tool to scan the wireless network. If any Access Point or IBSS is found, you could choose to connect it manually when client mode is enabled.

Site Survey

Step 1- Mode Selection and Site Survey

User can further select one of the three sub mode in this page. There are three sub modes supported by N.Plug. We will take Repeater mode as an example here.

Mode Selection Repeater:Using repeater mode, N.Plug can also extend the wireless coverage of another wireless AP or router.Repeating Router:In Repeating Router mode, the AP will behave just the same as the Client mode for wireless function. However, router functions are added between the wireless WAN side and the Ethernet LAN side. Therefore, the WISP subscriber can share the WISP connection without the need for extra router.Client:If set to Client (Infrastructure) mode, N.Plug can work like a wireless station when it's connected to a computer so that the computer can send packets from wired end to wireless interface.

Fragment Threshold	Fragmentation mechanism is used for improving the efficiency when high traffic flows along in the wireless network. If the 802.11g MIMO Wireless Router often transmit large files in wireless network, you can enter new Fragment Threshold value to split the packet. The value can be set from 256 to 2346. The default value is 2346.
RTS Threshold RTS	Threshold is a mechanism implemented to prevent the “Hidden Node” problem. If the “Hidden Node” problem is an issue, please specify the packet size. The RTS mechanism will be activated if the data size exceeds the value you set.Warning: Enabling RTS Threshold will cause redundant network overhead that could negatively affect the throughput performance instead of providing a remedy.This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
Beacon Interval Beacon	Interval is the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the beacon. Range 20-1024 ms, default is 100.

Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs, like the Ethernet does. To do this, you must set these APs in the same channel and set MAC address of other APs which you want to communicate with in the table and then enable the WDS.

1. The APs must support WDS function.
2. The channel must be set to the same on the APs.
3. To set the same Wireless MAC address (BSSID) on the APs.
4. To set same security (WEP key) on the APs.

Note:

To setup WDS must use the same wireless products (the same model will be better); due to different wireless products might support different WDS settings.

Thus, it is suggested that to use the same wireless products that support WDS function.

Step1. Users would like to set up the WDS function, please go to Wireless → Basic Settings page to enable WDS function, and set the APs into the same Channel Number. After setting up, please click Apply Changes button to execute.

Step2. Then go back to Wireless WDS Settings page to enter the Wireless MAC address (please make sure the BSSID of the other WDS supported AP) 12 characters to each other to make the WDS connection. Please click Apply Changes button to execute.

MAC Address MAC Address: Enter the Wireless BSSID (MAC) 12 characters of the other wireless AP that you want to connect with. To check your wireless router's MAC address, please go to Status → Wireless Configuration to find your BSSID (Wireless MAC address.)

PC Configuration

5.1 Overview

For each PC, the following may need to be configured:

• TCP/IP network settings
• Internet Access configuration
  ● Wireless configuration

5.2 Windows Clients

• This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless Router.
  ● The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
• The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.

5.2.1 TCP/IP Settings – Overview

If using default Wireless Router settings, and default Windows TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

• By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a suitable IP address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
• For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are required:

● The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Router.
● The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

5.2.2 Checking TCP/IP Settings - Windows 2000

1. Select Control Panel - Network and Dial-up Connection.
2. Right - click the Local Area Connection icon and select Properties. You should see a screen like the following:

1. Select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card.

2. Click on the Properties button. You should then see a screen like the following.

Ensure your TCP/IP settings are correct, as described below.

Using DHCP

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

Overview

This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.

General Problems

Problem 1:

Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.

Solution 1: Check the following:Check the Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment.If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client), please restart it.If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Addresswithin the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of 192.168.1.253.Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router.In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

Internet Access

Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.

Solution 1: A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting steps.Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.)If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly.

Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.

Solution 2: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.Use the Content Filter Settings feature to allow the use of Internet applications, which do not function correctly.If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but:It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.Only one (1) PC can use this feature.

Wireless Access

Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Router.
Solution 1: Check the following:● Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode)
	The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Router are the same.Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup."Both your PC and the Wireless Router must have the same setting for security. The default setting for the Wireless Router security is disabled, so your wireless station should also have security disabled.If security is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have security enabled, and the key must be matched.To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible when close to the Wireless Router. Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
Solution 2: The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following:Wireless Router locationTry adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless Router.Wireless ChannelIf interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.Radio InterferenceOther devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices should be shielded or relocated.RF ShieldingYour environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Wireless Router.

Appendix B: About Wireless LANs

BSS

A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS).

Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other.

Channels

The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.

• Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
• In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)

Note

To comply with US FCC regulation, the country selection function has been completely removed from all US models. The above function is for non-US models only.

Security

- WEP

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it.

If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same security settings for each of the following:

WEP 64 Bits, 128 Bits.
Key For 64 Bits encryption, the Key value must match.For 128 Bits encryption, the Key value must match.
WEP Authentication Open System or Shared Key.

● WPA/WPA2/ WPA-Mixed

WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several encryption options: TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method. The most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: pre-authentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency.

If WPA or WPA2 is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same security settings.

802.1x

With 802.1x authentication, a wireless PC can join any network and receive any messages that are not encrypted, however, additional setup for RADIUS to issue the WEP key dynamically will be required. RADIUS is an authentication, authorization, and accounting client-server protocol. The client is a Network Access Server that desires to authenticate its links. The server is a server that has access to a user database with authentication information.

Wireless LAN Configuration

To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows:

Mode The mode must be set to Infrastructure.
SSID (ESSID) The network name must match the value used on the Wireless Router.NoteThe SSID is case- sensitive.
Disable If there is no security is enabled on the Wireless Router, the security of each station should be disabled as well. And, you can connect the Wireless Router without security, but it is NOT recommended.
WEP Open System/ Shared Key/ Auto	By default, WEP on the Wireless Router is disabled.Shared Key only supports WEP as encryption method.AUTO(Open/Shared) means AP can accept STA connect to it using OPEN-WEP or SHARED-WEP.If WEP remains disabled on the Wireless Router, all stations must have WEP disabled.If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the same settings as the Wireless Router.
Personal (Pre-Shared Key)WPAWPA2WPA2-Mixed	WPA-PSK (TKIP/AES)/ WPA2-PSK (TKIP/AES):If one of these securities is enabled on the Wireless Router. To make a connection, each station must use the same algorithms and pass phrase as the Wireless Router.Pre-Shared Key Format:There are two formats for choice to set the Pre-shared key, Passphrase and Hex (64 characters). If Hex is selected, users will have to enter a 64 characters string. For easier configuration, the Passphrase (at least 8 characters) format is recommended.Pre-Shared Key :Pre-Shared Key serves as a password. Users may key in 8 to 63 characters string if you selected passphrase. Pre-shared key format to set the passwords or leave it blank, in which the 802.1x Authentication will be activated. Make sure the same password is used on client's end.
Enterprise (RADIUS)WPAWPA2WPA2-Mixed802.1x	RADIUS Server: RADIUS is an authentication, authorization and accounting client-server protocol. The client is a Network Access Server that desires to authenticate its links. The server is a server that has access to a user database with authentication information. Each station must set up the RADIUS Server's IP address, port and passwords that provided by your ISP.
