Chapter 1 Introduction

1.2 Securing the WRE6505 v2

Do the following things regularly to make the WRE6505 v2 more secure and to manage the WRE6505 v2 more effectively.

Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the WRE6505 v2 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WRE6505 v2. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.4.1 Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Your WRE6505 v2 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.3 on page 38.

1.4.1 Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Your WRE6505 v2 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure

wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to

configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both

devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure).

Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device

itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that

allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on

a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two

devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.

For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.3 on page 38.

CHAPTER 4

Repeater Mode

4.1 Overview

In repeater mode, your WRE6505 v2 can act as an access point and wireless client at the same

time. The WRE6505 v2 can connect to an existing network through another access point and also

lets wireless clients connect to the network through it. This helps you expand wireless coverage

when you have an access point or wireless router already in your network.

In the example below, the WRE6505 v2 (A) is configured as a repeater. It has three clients that

want to connect to the Internet. The WRE6505 v2 wirelessly connects to the available access point

(B).

Figure 10 Repeater Mode

After the WRE6505 v2 and the access point connect, the WRE6505 v2 acquires its IP address from

the access point. The clients of the WRE6505 v2 can now surf the Internet.

4.2 What You Can Do

•Use the Status screen (Section 7.1 on page 38) to view read-only information about your

WRE6505 v2.

The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless

network.

9.3.1.1 MAC Address List

Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is

usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or

00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s

Guide or other documentation.

You can use the MAC Address List to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed to use the

wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the

correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless

network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.

This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.

Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized

wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.

9.3.1.2 Encryption

Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless

network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot

understand the message.

For example, if users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no authentication, if

users do log on to the wireless network, you can choose No Security, Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or

WPA2-PSK.

Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless

network supports. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports

WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA-PSK. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the

wireless network.

1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds

of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.

2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.

Chapter 9 Wireless LAN

WRE6505 v2 User’s Guide

51

Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, or stronger encryption.

IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible

for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.

Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer

the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the

same key.

9.3.1.3 WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.

WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to

configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either

press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal

Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by

themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 7.3 on page 38.

9.4 General Wireless LAN Screen

Use this screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode.

Note: If you are configuring the WRE6505 v2 from a computer connected to the wireless

LAN and you change the WRE6505 v2’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will

12.6 Firmware Upgrade Screen

Find firmware at www.zyxel.com in a file that (usually) uses the system model name with a “*.bin”

extension, e.g., “WRE6505 v2.bin”. The upload process uses HTTP (Hypertext Transfer Protocol)

and may take up to two minutes. After a successful upload, the system will reboot.

Click Maintenance > Firmware Upgrade. Follow the instructions in this screen to upload

firmware to your WRE6505 v2.

User Defined Time

Server Address

Select User Defined Time Server Address and enter the IP address or URL (up to 20

extended ASCII characters in length) of your time server. Check with your ISP/network

administrator if you are unsure of this information.

Time Zone Setup

Time Zone Choose the time zone of your location. This will set the time difference between your

time zone and Greenwich Mean Time (GMT).

Daylight Savings Daylight saving is a period from late spring to early fall when many countries set their

clocks ahead of normal local time by one hour to give more daytime light in the

evening.

Select this option if you use Daylight Saving Time.

Start Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time starts if you selected Daylight

Savings. The at field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:

Daylight Saving Time starts in most parts of the United States on the second Sunday of

March. Each time zone in the United States starts using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M.

local time. So in the United States you would select Second, Sunday, March and

select 2 in the at field.

Daylight Saving Time starts in the European Union on the last Sunday of March. All of

the time zones in the European Union start using Daylight Saving Time at the same

moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last,

Sunday, March. The time you select in the at field depends on your time zone. In

Germany for instance, you would select 2 because Germany’s time zone is one hour

ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).

End Date Configure the day and time when Daylight Saving Time ends if you selected Daylight

Savings. The at field uses the 24 hour format. Here are a couple of examples:

Daylight Saving Time ends in the United States on the first Sunday of November. Each

time zone in the United States stops using Daylight Saving Time at 2 A.M. local time.

So in the United States you would select First, Sunday, November and select 2 in the

at field.

Daylight Saving Time ends in the European Union on the last Sunday of October. All of

the time zones in the European Union stop using Daylight Saving Time at the same

moment (1 A.M. GMT or UTC). So in the European Union you would select Last,

Sunday, October. The time you select in the at field depends on your time zone. In

Germany for instance, you would select 2 because Germany’s time zone is one hour

ahead of GMT or UTC (GMT+1).

APPENDIX B

Setting Up Your Computers IP Address

Note: Your specific WRE6505 v2 may not support all of the operating systems described

in this appendix. See the product specifications for more information about which

operating systems are supported.

This appendix shows you how to configure the IP settings on your computer in order for it to be

able to communicate with the other devices on your network. Windows Vista/XP/2000, Mac OS 9/

OS X, and all versions of UNIX/LINUX include the software components you need to use TCP/IP on

your computer.

If you manually assign IP information instead of using a dynamic IP, make sure that your network’s

computers have IP addresses that place them in the same subnet.
