Regulatory Domain. The factory default setting is auto channel selection. It’s

recommended to choose a channel that is not used in your environment to reduce

radio interference

4. Wireless Mode: The RF1 module supports 802.11b/g/n modes. You can also

choose “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N mixed”. The factory default setting is
“B/G/N mixed”.

5. Bandwidth:

The default setting for Bandwidth is “Auto”. You can change it to

“20MHz” with care if some clients are suffering from the connectivity problem in

higher bandwidth setting.

6. Authentication & Encryption: You may select one of the following

authentications to secure your wireless network: Open (include 802.1x), Shared,

Auto, WPA-PSK, and WPA2-PSK.

Open

Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first

is an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically

the MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP

containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may
occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP’s

configuration.

In this mode you can also enable the 802.1x feature if you have another

RADIUS server for user authentication. You need to input IP address, port,

shared key of RADIUS server here.

In this mode, you can only choose “None” or “WEP” in the encryption field.

Shared

Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the

authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The

shared key is manually set on both the client station and the AP. Three types

of shared key authentication are available today for home or small office

WLAN environments.

Auto

The gateway will select appropriate authentication method (Open or Shared)
according to the WiFi client’s request automatically.

WPA-PSK

Select Encryption mode and enter the Pre-share Key. You can fill in 64
