Chapter 6. Wireless
The FriendlyNET FR1004AL is a powerful wireless router. Compared to the
FR1004, the FR1004AL adds:
An AeroLAN wireless access point for Apple Airport, Wi-Fi and other IEEE
802.11b-compatible equipment
Dual diversity antennas with high performance signal amplifier to provide
maximum signal strength and data integrity
Multiple security levels including hardware-based MAC address controls to
lock out unauthorized users
An integrated network print server
6.1 Configuration Considerations
Using factory default settings, you should be able to connect to router using ei-
ther wired or wireless network connections. Be sure your computer is accepting
dynamic network IP addresses assigned by the router.
If you are planning to use more than one Asanté wireless router (or equivalent),
you have the option of having:
A. One wireless network with multiple routers (or wireless access points), or
B. Two (or more) separate wireless networks.
To implement option A, verify that the Network IDs are the same on all units. To
implement option B, be sure to set a unique Network ID (SSID) and Channel
number for each router (or wireless access point).
