devices should be shielded or relocated. • RF Shielding Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the WBR-3600 Router. 96[...]

Appendix B About Wireless LANs B This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) co[...]

performance. This capability is called Roaming . (Access Points do not have or require Roaming capabilities.) 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 provi des the least interference and best perfo[...]

The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely- supported method is AES. Encryption WPA-802.1x This version of WPA requires a Radius Se rver on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x st andard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard. If this option i[...]
