Wireless 2.4G¶

On the General Settings >> Wireless 2.4G page, you can customize the wireless 2.4G network. Please follow the steps below.

Click to enable Wireless 2.4G.
Customize SSID(a visible name) for your 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network, or keep it as default.
Select an Encryption (a security protocol) to prevent unauthorized access.
- WPA-PSK: Legacy TKIP encryption, vulnerable to attacks, deprecated.
- WPA2-PSK: AES-based standard, secure but susceptible to brute-force.
- WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: Mixed mode for backward compatibility, weakest link dictates security.
- WPA2-PSK/WPA3-SAE: Transitional mode, AES+SAE for future-proofing.
- WPA3-SAE: Quantum-resistant, SAE protocol, ideal for critical infrastructure.
Set a Password (a pre-shared key with 8-63 characters or 64 hexadecimal number) for the network authentication.
Select a Mode (a Wi-Fi standard 802.11n balances range/speed).
- 802.11b+g+n: Combines legacy (b/g) with modern (n) for maximum compatibility and speed up to 300Mbps.
- 802.11b+g: Legacy mode for older devices, limited to 54Mbps which avoids in high-density areas.
- 802.11b: Obsolete 11Mbps, only for vintage equipment. Not recommended.
Select Transmit Power for the signal strength control.
- Maximum: 100% power extends coverage to long-range outdoor areas but may increase interference.Suitable for large facilities with sparse device density.
- Middle: ~50-70% power balances coverage and interference for indoor industrial spaces. Suitable for Medium-sized factories with metal obstructions.
- Minimum: ≤30% power limits range to small, controlled zones. Suitable for high-density IoT deployments or EMI-sensitive areas.
(Optional) Set Max Stations for device connection limit based on router capacity.
(Optional) Enable Hidden Network to avoid SSID broadcast and hide the network from casual scans but offers minimal security. Use only with WPA3 for industrial IoT.
(Optional) Enable Separate Clients to isolate connected devices and block their communication, critical for IoT security in shared networks.
