WRE6505 v2 User’s Guide

This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your WRE6505 v2. See 

 for an overview of wireless networks.

• Use  the  General screen to enable the Wireless LAN (2.4G/5G), enter the SSID and select the 

wireless security mode (

).

• Use  the  AP select  screen to choose an access point that you want the WRE6505 v2 (in repeater 

mode) to connect to. You should know the security settings of the target AP (

). This screen is available only when the WRE6505 v2 is in repeater mode.

• Use  the  MAC Filt er screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from 

connecting to the WRE6505 v2 (

).

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

• Use  the  QoS screen to enable Wi-Fi MultiMedia Quality of Service (WMMQoS). This allows the 

WRE6505 v2 to automatically set priority levels to services, such as e-mail, VoIP, chat, and so on 
(

).

• Use  the  W PS screen to enable WPS to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, 

without having to configure security settings manually (

).

• Use  the  W PS Device screen to add a wireless station using WPS (

• Use  the  Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (

). This screen is available only when the WRE6505 v2 is in AP mode.

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.
