There are two wireless devices, one type of wireless Access Point (AP) and a longer Wireless Cable / DSL Router. Both these devices have not functioned optimally, just curiosity arose to configure AP. Model and brand of wireless device is not mentioned, because it can not be fee from the vendor and allows more easily exploitable by The access is illegal in the area around the office he .. he ..
The first configuration is the AP, no password, the default password has been changed, no need to ask the configurator before, find ways to do factory reset to default settings on google.com, can some information from the forum / mailing list, after a try finally returned to the AP configuration initial setting.
Interface to set the AP settings done by entering the IP address of AP through the browser device, some configuration done, including by:
1. Arranging for AP can function as a DHCP server
2. Trying features Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) and Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA)
3. Regulate access based on MAC Address The access device
4. etc.
Several configurations are made not working properly, for example, even though the DHCP server has been set, the AP does not provide IP in accordance with the determined allocation.
Upgade Firmware
Typically the device that has a kind of AP firmware firmware upgrade will provide to make improvements, even with a firmware upgrade will be no additional or new functions. Simply find the latest firmware for the AP in the vendor website. Apparently there have been several releases of the old firmware on the AP, download the latest version firmware. Firmware is downloaded executable file the form, run the file will decompress and produce to the README file and firmware updates.
The upgrade can be done easily, which is directly done through the browser, enter the firmware update file, then click sumbit, in less than a minute the upgrade is complete and direct the new firmware installed. Reset to default factory settings Vendor done according to existing recommendations in the README file.
Firmware upgrade gives very satisfactory results, the DHCP server to function properly and the availability of additional facilities / new wireless device is now functioning into three types:
1. Access Point (default function)
2. Client Bridge Mode
3. Repeater Mode
AP and Computer Server
Current AP has functioned well and correctly, then there is the desire to set up a computer to be a server that will provide functionality for:
1. User Management
2. Access Management
3. Proxy and Firewall
4. Management authentifikasi
5. Recording log / history access
6. Provide billing features
Are there any readers who have done / installed an integrated open source application for Linux for such needs? if any, awaited his comments.
