• Use the Local User Database if you have less than 32 wireless clients in your network. 

The Prestige uses MD5 encryption when a client authenticates with the Local User 
Database 

The MAC Filter screen allows you to configure the AP to give exclusive access to devices 
(Allow Association) or exclude them from accessing the AP (Deny Association). 

If you hide the ESSID, then the Prestige cannot be seen when a wireless client scans for local 
APs. The trade-off for the extra security of “hiding” the Prestige may be inconvenience for 
some valid WLAN clients. If you don’t hide the ESSID, at least you should change the default 
one.

G-plus is an enhancement to the IEEE 802.11g wireless standard. G-plus combines multiple 
frames into a larger frame size. This increases wireless transmission speeds by allowing larger 
frames (up to 4 KB) to be sent. 

G-plus speed applies only to unicast traffic (not broadcast or multicast). G-plus is 
automatically disabled if wireless transmission speeds fall below 11 Mbps.

1 Configure the ESSID 

and WEP in the 
Wireless screen. If you 
configure WEP, you 
can’t configure WPA or 
WPA-PSK. 

2 Use the MAC Filter 

screen to restrict access 
to your wireless 
network by MAC 
address. 

3 Configure WPA or 

WPA-PSK in the 
802.1x/WPA screen. 
You can also configure 802.1x wireless client authentication in the 802.1x/WPA screen.

4 Configure the RADIUS authentication database settings in the RADIUS screen.

5 Configure the built-in authentication database in the Local User Database screen.
