Wireless Security

Wireless security is a key concern for any wireless network installed. Unlike any other networking method wireless networks will broadcast it’s presence for

anyone to connect to it.Today, wireless security has advanced to a level where it is virtually impenetrable.

There are mainly two forms of wireless encryption and they are called Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA). WEP was the ﬁrst

security method developed. It is a low level encryption but better than now encryption.WPA is the newest encryption standard and with the advancedWPA2

standard wireless networks have ﬁnally reach a point where the security is strong enough to give users the peace of mind when installing wireless networks.

Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

WEP provides two variations called Open System and Shared Key.

OpenSystem willsendarequesttotheaccesspointandifthekeyusedmatchestheoneconﬁguredontheaccesspoint, theaccesspointwillreturnasuccess

message back to the wireless client. If the key does not match the one conﬁgured on the access point, the access point will deny the connection request from

the wireless client.

Shared Key will send a request to the access point and if the key used matches the one conﬁgured on the access point, the access point will send a challenge

to the client.The client will then again send a conﬁrmation of the same key back to the access point where the access point will either return a successful or a

denial packet back to the wireless client.

Encryption: Use the radio button to disable or enable

encryption.

Key Type*: Select HEX or ASCII.

Key Size: Select 64 Bits or 128 Bits.

Key Index (1-4): Select the 1st through the 4th key to be

the active key.

Key: Input up to four keys for encryption. You

will select one of these keys in the Key

Index drop-down menu.

**Hexadecimal (HEX) digits consist of the numbers 0-9 and the letters A-F.

*ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a code that represents English letters using

numbers ranging from 0-127.

D-Link DAP-2695 User Manual

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA / WPA2)

WPA was created by the Wi-Fi Alliance to address the limitations and weaknesses found in WEP. This protocol is mainly based on the 802.11i

standard. There are also two variations found in WPA called WPA-Personal (PSK) and WPA-Enterprise (EAP).

WPA-EAP requires the user to install a Radius Server on the network for authentication.

WPA-Personal does not require the user to install a Radius Server on the network.

Comparing WPA-PSK with WPA-EAP, WPA-PSK is seen as a weaker authentication but comparing WPA-PSK to WEP, WPA-PSK is far more secure

than WEP. WPA-EAP is the highest level of wireless security a user can use for wireless today.

WPA2 is an upgrade of WPA. WPA2 yet again solves some possible security issues found in WPA. WPA2 has two variations called WPA2-Personal

(PSK) and WPA2-Enterprise (EAP) which is the same as found with WPA.

WPA Mode: When WPA-Personal is selected for Authentication

type, you must also select a WPA mode from the

drop-downmenu:AUTO(WPAorWPA2),WPA2Only,

orWPAOnly.WPAandWPA2usediﬀerentalgorithms.

AUTO (WPA or WPA2) allows you to use both WPA

and WPA2.

Cipher Type: WhenyouselectWPA-Personal, youmustalsoselect

AUTO, AES, or TKIP from the pull down menu.

Group Key Update: Select the interval during which the group key will

be valid.The default value of 1800 is recommended.

Pass Phrase: When you select WPA-Personal, please enter a Pass

Phrase in the corresponding ﬁeld.

D-Link DAP-2695 User Manual

WPA Mode: When WPA-Enterprise is selected, you must

also select aWPA mode from the drop-down

menu: AUTO (WPA or WPA2), WPA2 Only,

or WPA Only. WPA and WPA2 use diﬀerent

algorithms. AUTO (WPA orWPA2) allows you

to use both WPA and WPA2.

Cipher Type: When WPA-Enterprise is selected, you must

also select a cipher type from the drop-down

menu: Auto, AES, or TKIP.

Group Key Update Interval: Select the interval during which the group

key will be valid. 1800 is the recommended

value as a lower interval may reduce data

transfer rates.

Wireless Basics

D-Link wireless products are based on industry standards to provide high-speed wireless connectivity that is easy to use within your home,

business or public access wireless networks. D-Link wireless products provides you with access to the data you want, whenever and wherever

you want it. Enjoy the freedom that wireless networking can bring to you.

WLAN use is not only increasing in both home and oﬃce environments, but in public areas as well, such as airports, coﬀee shops and universities.

Innovative ways to utilize WLAN technology are allowing people to work and communicate more eﬃciently. Increased mobility and the absence

of cabling and other types of ﬁxed infrastructure have proven to be beneﬁcial to many users.

Wireless adapter cards used on laptop and desktop systems support the same protocols as Ethernet adapter cards, allowing wireless users to use

the same applications as those used on a wired network.

People use WLAN technology for many diﬀerent purposes:

•

Mobility - productivity increases when people can have access to data in any location within the operating range of their WLAN.

Management decisions based on real-time information can signiﬁcantly improve the eﬃciency of a worker.

Low implementation costs - WLANs are easy to set up, manage, change and relocate. Networks that frequently change can beneﬁt from

WLAN’s ease of implementation. WLANs can operate in locations where installation of wiring may be impractical.

Installation and network expansion - by avoiding the complications of troublesome cables, a WLAN system can be fast and easy during

installation, especially since it can eliminate the need to pull cable through walls and ceilings. Wireless technology provides more versatility

by extending the network beyond the home or oﬃce.

•

Inexpensive solution - wireless network devices are as competitively priced as conventional Ethernet network devices. The DAP-2695 saves

money by providing users with multi-functionality conﬁgurable in four diﬀerent modes.

Scalability - Conﬁgurations can be easily changed and range from Peer-to-Peer networks, suitable for a small number of users to larger

Infrastructure networks to accommodate hundreds or thousands of users, depending on the number of wireless devices deployed.

Wireless Installation Considerations

The D-Link Access Point lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating range of your

wireless network. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must

pass through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your

home or business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:

1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the access point and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce

your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized.

2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a

3. 45-degree angle appears to be almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so

that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.

4. Building Materials make a diﬀerence. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative eﬀect on the range. Try to position access

points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways. Materials and objects such as glass,

steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (ﬁsh tanks), mirrors, ﬁle cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your wireless signal.

5. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.

6. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems), your wireless

connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from your wireless devices as

possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.

Troubleshooting

This chapter provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the DAP-2695. Read the following

descriptions if you are having problems. (The examples below are illustrated in Windows® XP. If you have a diﬀerent operating system, the

screenshots on your computer will look similar to the following examples.)

Why can’t I access the web-based conﬁguration utility?

When entering the IP address of the D-Link access point (192.168.0.50 for example), you are not connecting to a website on the Internet or have to

be connected to the Internet. The device has the utility built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to

connect to the web-based utility.

•

Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser.We recommend the following:

Internet Explorer 7.0 or higher, Chrome, Firefox, or Safari 4 or higher

Verify physical connectivity by checking for solid link lights on the device. If you do not get a solid link light, try using a diﬀerent cable or connect to a

diﬀerent port on the device if possible. If the computer is turned oﬀ, the link light may not be on.

Disable any internet security software running on the computer. Software ﬁrewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and

How to check your IP address?

After you install your network adapter, by default, the TCP/IP settings

should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (i.e. wireless

router) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps

below.

Click on Start > Run. In the run box type cmd and click OK.

At the prompt, type ipconﬁg and press Enter.

This will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of

your adapter.

If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings,

and the settings on your router. Some ﬁrewall software programs may

block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

If you are connecting to a wireless network at a hotspot (e.g. hotel, coﬀee shop, airport), please contact an employee or administrator to verify

their wireless network settings.
