same wireless LAN should use the same channel.
25
Advanced Settings
This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included
are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon
Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless
you know what effect the changes will have on the router.
Fragment Threshold "Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size
of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set
this value too low, it will result in bad performance.
RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller then the RTS threshold,
the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this
packet.
Beacon Interval is the interval of time that this wireless router
broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless
network.
DTIM period
is a countdown mechanism for WLAN Access Points
changing this value will affect your wireless performance and may improve
stability.
26
Preamble Type The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN
performance.
Broadcast ESSID If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless
station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this
access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling
this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide
better security.
WMM WiFi Multi Media if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better
audio, video and voice in applications.
27
Security
This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included
are WEP, IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key
and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your
wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use
the same security function, and are setup with the same security key.
Disable
When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate WL-
601/606.
28
WEP
When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to
encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can
enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router
can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys.
Key Length You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-
bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the
throughput will be lower.
Key Format You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
Key1 - Key4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the
wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device.
64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or
5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit
Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters
as the encryption keys.
29
Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply
to apply the settings and reboot the device.
WPA Pre-shared Key
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use
a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during
communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key
frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is
the best security available.
30
WPA-Radius
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use
an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the
session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP
(AES) to change the encryption key frequently. Press Apply button when you
are done.
31
ACL
This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents
unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network.
Enable wireless access control Enables the wireless access control function
Adding an address into the list Enter the "MAC Address" of the wireless
station to be added and then click "Apply". The wireless station will now be
added. If you are having any difficulties filling in the fields, just Clear the MAC
Address .
32
12 Firewall Settings
The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting
connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending
against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that
require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific
client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply
33
DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games)
properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall
restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host.
The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port
IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the
virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a
particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN
client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services)
going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.
Enable DMZ Enable/disable DMZ
Public IP Address The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP
addresses given to you by your ISP
Client PC IP Address Fill in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN
that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP
address above.
Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
34
Denial of Service (DoS)
The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including
Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks
occur the router can log the events.
SPI and Anti-Dos firewall protection blocks basic hacker attacks (DOS,
Sync flood, port scan)
RIP defect
Discard Ping to WAN interface The router’s WAN port will not respond to
any Ping requests
Stateful packet inspection allows the user to manually determine which
packets should be scanned.
