Huawei B618 Router<\/strong>‘s WLAN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProcedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Choose\u00a0Settings<\/strong>>\u00a0WLAN<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0WLAN Basic Settings<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n
- From\u00a0WLAN module<\/strong>,select:\n
\n- Enable<\/strong>: Enable WLAN<\/li>\n
- Disable<\/strong>: Disable WLAN<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Setting the SSID of the WLAN<\/u><\/strong>
\nThe service set identifier (SSID) is a name that identifies a wireless local area network (WLAN). A wireless client (for example, a computer) can communicate with the Huawei B618<\/strong><\/b>\u00a0properly only when they are using the same SSID. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID. You can define an SSID as required.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n- Changing the SSID<\/u><\/strong>
\nThis section describes how to change the service set identifier (SSID).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProcedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Choose\u00a0Settings<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0WLAN<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0WLAN Basic Settings<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n
- From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click\u00a0Edit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- In\u00a0SSID<\/strong>, enter the SSID.<\/li>\n
- Click\u00a0Apply<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Enabling or Disabling the SSID Broadcast<\/u><\/strong>
\nIf the service set identifier (SSID) broadcast function is enabled, the Huawei B618<\/strong>\u00a0broadcasts the SSID of the wireless local area network (WLAN) facilitating clients’ access to the WLAN. The disadvantage is that unauthorized clients can also access the WLAN. If the SSID broadcast is disabled, the Huawei B618<\/strong>\u00a0does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. So the SSID must be entered manually and correctly from a client before the client accesses the WLAN. This improves the security of the WLAN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProcedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Choose\u00a0Settings<\/strong>>\u00a0WLAN<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0WLAN Basic Settings<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n
- From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click\u00a0Edit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Set\u00a0SSID broadcast<\/strong>.\n
\n- Enable<\/strong>: to enable the SSID broadcast.<\/li>\n
- Disable<\/strong>: to disable the SSID broadcast.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
- Click\u00a0Apply<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\u00a0NOTE:<\/strong><\/p>\nDuring the process of setting up the WLAN, you can set the SSID broadcast to\u00a0Enable<\/strong>\u00a0to facilitate the access from clients. After the WLAN is set up, set the SSID broadcast to\u00a0Disable<\/strong>\u00a0to improve the security of the WLAN.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Setting the WLAN Key<\/u><\/strong>
\nTo improve the security of the wireless local area network (WLAN), set a security key for the WLAN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProcedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Choose\u00a0Settings<\/strong>>\u00a0WLAN<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0WLAN Basic Settings<\/strong>\u00a0.<\/li>\n
- From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click\u00a0Edit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- Select\u00a0Security mode<\/strong>.\n
\n- None(open)<\/strong>: No encryption. No security key is required when clients access the WLAN.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\u00a0NOTE:<\/strong><\/p>\nFor daily use, it is recommended that you set a security key, to improve the security performance of a WLAN.<\/p>\n
\n- WEP<\/strong>: This stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.<\/li>\n
- WPA2-PSK<\/strong>: This is the second version of\u00a0WPA-PSK\u00a0<\/strong>and is more secure than\u00a0WPA-PSK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- WPA\/WPA2-PSK<\/strong>: Both\u00a0WPA-PSK\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0WPA2-PSK<\/strong>\u00a0encryption modes are supported. Clients can access the WLAN in\u00a0WPA-PSK<\/strong>\u00a0or\u00a0WPA2-PSK<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\n- Enter a security key.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
\u00a0NOTE:<\/strong><\/p>\nSelect\u00a0Show password<\/strong>\u00a0to view the security key that you have entered.<\/p>\n\n- Click\u00a0Apply<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
Setting a WPA Security Key for the WLAN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- From\u00a0Security mode<\/strong>, select\u00a0WPA2-PSK<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
- In\u00a0WLAN key<\/strong>, enter the security key. For example, 12345678.<\/li>\n
- Click\u00a0Apply<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
\n- Selecting a Channel<\/strong>
\nThis section describes how to select a channel.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nProcedure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n- Choose\u00a0Settings<\/strong>>\u00a0WLAN<\/strong>\u00a0>\u00a0WLAN Advanced Settings<\/strong>.<\/li>\n

<\/p>\n
\n- WPS<\/strong><\/li>\n
- The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard used to set up wireless connections in an easy and secure way. Traditionally speaking, to set up a wireless connection, you have to set a WLAN name (SSID) and key for the Huawei B618<\/strong><\/b>, and enter the key on the client. WPS automatically configures an SSID and key for the\u00a0Huawei B618 4G Router<\/strong>\u00a0and client. You can conveniently and securely connect your client to the WLAN without having to remember the SSID and key.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
