| WPA passphrase | string, from 8 to 63 characters | Specify the secret encryption key here. |
| Lock to BSSID | On/Off, default: Off | Instead of joining any network with a matching SSID, only connect to the BSSID 82:8A:20:FF:FD:23. |
| Create / Assign firewall-zone | Choose the firewall zone you want to assign to this interface. Select unspecified to remove the interface from the associated zone or fill out the custom field to define a new zone and attach the interface to it. |
Add
To add new network use the Add button.
Device Configuration - General Setup
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Status | Network status | |
| Wireless network is enabled | button | Use Disable button to disable this network. |
| Operating frequency | Mode: N or Legacy, Channel: from 1 (2412 MHz) to 11 (2462 MHz) | |
| Allow legacy 802.11b rates | On/Off, default: Off | Legacy or badly behaving devices may require legacy 802.11b rates to interoperate. Airtime efficiency may be significantly reduced where these are used. It is recommended to not allow 802.11b rates where possible. |
| Maximum transmit power | driver default or from 0 dBm (1 mW) to 17 dBm (50 mW) | Specifies the maximum transmit power the wireless radio may use. Depending on regulatory requirements and wireless usage, the actual transmit power may be reduced by the driver. |
Device Configuration - Advanced Settings
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Country Code | default: driver default | |
| Coverage cell density | Disabled, Normal, High or Very High, default: Disabled | Configures data rates based on the coverage cell density. Normal configures basic rates to 6, 12, 24 Mbps if legacy 802.11b rates are not used else to 5.5, 11 Mbps. High configures basic rates to 12, 24 Mbps if legacy 802.11b rates are not used else to the 11 Mbps rate. Very High configures 24 Mbps as the basic rate. Supported rates lower than the minimum basic rate are not offered. |
| Distance Optimization | auto or from 0 to 114750, default: auto | Distance to farthest network member in meters. |
| Fragmentation Threshold | off or higher or equal to 256, default: off | |
| RTS/CTS Threshold | off or integer, default: off | |
| Force 40MHz mode | On/Off, default: Off | Always use 40MHz channels even if the secondary channel overlaps. Using this option does not comply with IEEE 802.11n-2009! |
| Beacon Interval | from 15 to 65535, default: 100 |
Interface Configuration - General Setup
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Mode | Access Point, Client, Ad-Hoc, 802.11s, Pseudo Ad-Hoc (ahdemo), Monitor, Access Point (WDS) or Client (WDS) | |
| ESSID | Extended Service Set Identifier | |
| Network | Choose the network(s) you want to attach to this wireless interface or fill out the custom field to define a new network. | |
| Hide ESSID | On/Off, default: Off | Where the ESSID is hidden, clients may fail to roam and airtime efficiency may be significantly reduced. |
| WMM Mode | On/Off, default: On | Where Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) Mode QoS is disabled, clients may be limited to 802.11a/802.11g rates. |
Interface Configuration - Wireless Security
| Name | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Encryption | WPA2-PSK (strong security), WPA2-EAP (strong security), WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode (mdeium security), WPA-PSK (medium security), WPA-EAP (medium security) or No Encryption, | |
| Cipher | auto, Force CCMP (AES), Force TKIP or Force TKIP and CCMP (AES), default: auto | |
| Key | string from 8 to 63 characters | |
| Radius-Authentication-Server | Valid hostname or IP address | |
| Radius-Authentication-Port | integer equal or higher than 0 | Default: 1812 |
| Radius-Authentication-Secret | string | |
| Radius-Accounting-Server | Valid hostname or IP address | |
| Radius-Accounting-Port | integer equal or higher than 0 | Default: 1813 |
| Radius-Accounting-Secret | string | |
| DAE-Client | Valid hostname or IP address | |
| DAE-Port | integer equal or higher than 0 | Default 3799 |
| DAE-Secret | string | |
| 802.11r Fast Transition | On/Off, default: Off | Enables fast roaming among access points that belong to the same Mobility Domain |
| NAS ID | string | Used for two different purposes: RADIUS NAS ID and 802.11r R0KH-ID. Not needed with normal WPA(2)-PSK. |
| 802.11w Management Frame Protection | Disabled, Optional or Required, default: Disabled | Note: Some wireless drivers do not fully support 802.11w. E.g. mwlwifi may have problems |
| Enable key reinstallation (KRACK) countermeasures | On/Off, default: Off | Complicates key reinstallation attacks on the client side by disabling retransmission of EAPOL-Key frames that are used to install keys. This workaround might cause interoperability issues and reduced robustness of key negotiation especially in environments with heavy traffic load. |
| Enable WPS pushbutton, requires WPA(2)-PSK/WPA3-SAE | On/Off, default: Off |
