Teach you how to set up SOHO Wireless Network

Wireless Network products have become the main force in the market with the development of network technology, so we should have a more detailed understanding of some commonly used devices. With the development of wireless network technology, wireless network products have become the main force in the market. How can we access SOHO Wireless Networks? Here is a detailed introduction.

With the promotion of wireless network products based on small-sized enterprises and home wireless network applications, Wireless AP, wireless gateway and other products can also be purchased at the store, many manufacturers have also launched the AP + wireless network card kit.

This type of wireless network products are smart and cost-effective. They are all developed by various manufacturers for SOHO users. They generally have complete functions and are easy to use and install. AboveCAble has recently launched the genie series, including SmartAP (ACAP1800-11) genie series wireless access points and SmartUSB (ACPC1600-11) genie series USB interface wireless network card, through mutual communication between the two devices, you can connect to a wireless network and enjoy network resources.

SOHO Wireless Network Settings-point-to-point Wireless Access

The wireless network card supports point-to-point wireless access mode. In this mode, you only need to configure a wireless network card for each terminal device, and the network card can communicate with each other to form a temporary LAN and share resources. This type of simple network does not require special combinations or special personnel management. Any two mobile terminals can communicate with each other without the need for APs. It is the simplest wireless networking mode. It uses the simplest equipment and the shortest network time to form an effective wireless local area network. It is applicable to the communication of network resources between small areas in the SOHO environment and can play online games in the home.

Wireless Network roaming in SOHO Wireless Network Settings

Multiple APS can be used for network roaming in the region. In the SOHO environment, multiple APs are reasonably arranged to cover the whole SOHO space, and terminals equipped with wireless NICs can be covered by signals, keep the network connection continuously when roaming. You can quickly switch between APs. When you roam from one AP's coverage area to another AP's coverage area, the AP that serves the terminal is automatically switched, this process is transparent to users.

Expanded coverage of wireless relay in SOHO Wireless Network Settings

Generally, an AP needs to be connected to a wired network, but in areas that cannot be reached by the wired network, wireless relay is required to expand the coverage of wireless signals. AboveCableSmartAP has the function of wireless relay. On the one hand, it can receive wireless signals from other APs, and on the other hand, it can form a new coverage area, thus extending the coverage area of the original wireless network. In addition, the working mode of the relay can connect two or more scattered wireless coverage areas.

Setting up a secure wireless network in SOHO Wireless Network

The security of wireless networks is of the greatest concern to the majority of users. According to the security requirements of SOHO users, security measures mainly include access control and data encryption.

Access Control: Use MAC to control illegal wireless device intrusion. The AP can restrict the MAC address of the access terminal to control access to the terminal, ensuring that only registered devices can access the wireless network. Because each wireless network card has a unique MAC address, the AP can create a "MAC address control table". Only the MAC addresses listed in the table are valid wireless network cards, otherwise, the connection is denied.

Data Encryption: a wep-based security solution. Generally, the AP supports WEP encryption and uses a static secret key to access the wireless network. You only need to configure the same WEP key on the AP and network card to strictly encrypt the data in the wireless network, effectively preventing data from being eavesdropped and stolen. AboveCable also provides the Uitility management software for SmartAP and SmartUSB. It allows you to conveniently set and manage the AP and nic, configure and change the WEP Key at any time, and enhance security.
