Huawei B618 WLAN Settings

Huawei B618 WLAN Settings

  • Enabling or Disabling WLAN
    This section describes how to enable or disable Huawei B618 Router‘s WLAN.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. From WLAN module,select:
    • Enable: Enable WLAN
    • Disable: Disable WLAN

 

  • Setting the SSID of the WLAN
    The 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 properly 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.
  • Changing the SSID
    This section describes how to change the service set identifier (SSID).

Procedure

  • Choose Settings > WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  • From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click Edit.
  • In SSID, enter the SSID.
  • Click Apply.

 

  • Enabling or Disabling the SSID Broadcast
    If the service set identifier (SSID) broadcast function is enabled, the Huawei B618 broadcasts 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 does 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.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click Edit.
  3. Set SSID broadcast.
    • Enable: to enable the SSID broadcast.
    • Disable: to disable the SSID broadcast.
  4. Click Apply.

 NOTE:

During the process of setting up the WLAN, you can set the SSID broadcast to Enable to facilitate the access from clients. After the WLAN is set up, set the SSID broadcast to Disable to improve the security of the WLAN.

 

 

 

  • Setting the WLAN Key
    To improve the security of the wireless local area network (WLAN), set a security key for the WLAN.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Basic Settings .
  2. From the SSID list, choose the SSID you want to change, and click Edit.
  3. Select Security mode.
    • None(open): No encryption. No security key is required when clients access the WLAN.

 NOTE:

For daily use, it is recommended that you set a security key, to improve the security performance of a WLAN.

  • WEP: This stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy.
  • WPA2-PSK: This is the second version of WPA-PSK and is more secure than WPA-PSK.
  • WPA/WPA2-PSK: Both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK encryption modes are supported. Clients can access the WLAN in WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK
  1. Enter a security key.

 NOTE:

Select Show password to view the security key that you have entered.

  1. Click Apply.

Setting a WPA Security Key for the WLAN

  1. From Security mode, select WPA2-PSK.
  2. In WLAN key, enter the security key. For example, 12345678.
  3. Click Apply.

 

 

 

  • Selecting a Channel
    This section describes how to select a channel.

Procedure

  1. Choose Settings> WLAN > WLAN Advanced Settings.
  2. Select a channel from the Channel drop-down list box.
  3. Click Apply.

 NOTE:

If you do not know which channel to select, select Auto. The Huawei B618 4G Router will then automatically select a channel.

 

 

  • WPS
  • 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, and enter the key on the client. WPS automatically configures an SSID and key for the Huawei B618 4G Router and client. You can conveniently and securely connect your client to the WLAN without having to remember the SSID and key.

Connecting a Client to the Mobile Broadband Through PIN

In Personal Information Number (PIN) mode, you can securely connect a client to the Huawei B618 4G Router ‘s WLAN by simply entering the client’s PIN on the Huawei B618 4G Router ‘s web management page. You can then access the Internet through the Huawei B618 4G Router.

Procedure

  1. Set the client’s WPS connection method to PIN, and record the PIN displayed on the client.

 NOTE:

For details about operations on the client, see the client’s user guide.

  1. On the Huawei B618‘s web management page, choose Settings> WLAN > WPS Settings .

 NOTE:

By default, WPS is set to On. If WPS is set to Off, WPS connection mode cannot be set.

  1. Choose Enter device PIN.
  2. Enter the client’s PIN in the PINtext box.
  3. Click Connect.
