WRE2206 User’s Guide

This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your WRE2206. See

• Use  the  General screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless 

security mode (

• Use  the  MAC Address List screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC 

addresses from connecting to the WRE2206 (

).

• Use  the  Advanced screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (

• Use  the  QoS screen to enable Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS). WMM QoS

Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.

• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.

The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.

• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.

Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or 
frequency, to send and receive information.

• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.

Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the 
information that is sent in the wireless network.
