Wi-Fi Settings
You can set parameters that are used for the wireless stations to connect to this router for the
2.4 GHz radio or 5 GHz radio. The parameters include Mode, ESSID, Channel Number and
Associated Client, amongst others.
Wi-Fi Overview
On this page you can enable or disable the Wireless radios separately, including the Guest
network. By clicking the Edit button you enter the settings page.
Wi-Fi settings – Device Configuration
• Green Mode: This mode dynamically adjusts the system's Wi-Fi transmit power
depending on the distance between the router and the client device.
• Band Steering: Band steering is a technology that detects whether or not the
wireless client is dual-band capable, and if it is, it will push the client to connect to
the less congested 5GHz network. Please note that the 2.4GHz and 5GHz SSID’s need
to be identical for this feature to work.
• Channel: The channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same wireless LAN
should use the same channel.
• Transmit Power: The transmit power can be set to a bare minimum or maximum
power for better performance or power saving.
• Mode: Allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You can also
select B+G mode to allow 802.11b and 802.11g clients at the same time. For the
5GHz mode you can set 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11a/n or 802.11ac mode.
• HT Mode: Allows you to specify whether the AP should transmit on 20MHz or 40MHz
bandwidth.
• Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data
packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to
transmit the data packets.
• Fragmentation Threshold: This feature 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 than the RTS threshold, the wireless
router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
• Beacon Interval: This is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.
• DTIM Period: DTIM stands for Delivery traffic indication map or message and is an
additional message added after the normal beacon broadcast by your router or
access point. Depending on the timing set for your router, the router “buffers”
broadcast and multicast data and lets clients know when to “wake up” to receive
those data.
• Preamble Type: The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility
while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance.
• CTS Protection: Clear to send (CTS) protection mode is a wireless setting that
ensures clients on a network can connect to an AP when many communication
devices are present.
Wi-Fi settings – Interface Configuration
• ESSID: This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the devices in
the same wireless LAN should have the same SSID.
• Hide ESSID: Hides the network name (SSID) from being broadcast publicly.
• Separate Clients: Prevents client-to-client communication on this network.
Security
This router 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 use the router.
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.
• Input Type: 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.
• 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.
• 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.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK Mixed
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.
Group Key Update Interval: Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed (3600 is default).
Passphrase: Enter a Wi-Fi password (key/passphrase). The password must be between 8-
63 characters.
WPA-/WPA2-/WPA Mixed-Enterprise
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.
Group Key Update Interval: Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed (3600 is default).
RADIUS Server: Enter the IP Address of your RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server Port: Enter the port you are using with your RADIUS server. The default
port is 1812.
RADIUS Secret: Enter the security key.
MAC Filter
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. You can
choose between ‘Allow listed only’ or ‘Allow all except listed’.
• Adding an address into the list: Select the client to be added from the list and then
click "Save & Apply". You can add more clients by pressing the + sign.

select the client that you want to remove in the list and then click the - sign. Click
“Save & Apply” to save.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
Wi-Fi - Guest Network
Guest Network Access provides secure Wi-Fi access for guests to share your home or office
network. When you have visitors in your house, apartment, or workplace, you can enable the
guest network for them. You can set different access options for Guest Network users, which is
very effective to ensure the security and privacy of your main network.
• ESSID: This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted as the Guest
Network. This name cannot be the same as the default SSID.
• Hide ESSID: Hides the network name (SSID) from being broadcast publicly.
• Separate Clients: Prevents client-to-client communication on this network.
• IP Address: The gateway address for the Guest Network. This address cannot be the
same as the default router’s IP Address.
• Subnet Mask: The Subnet Mask for the Guest network. This address cannot be the
same as the default router’s Subnet Mask.
• Guest Start IP + End IP: You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP
server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. The default IP range is
192.168.169.100 ~ 192.168.169.149. This address pool cannot be the same as the
default router’s DHCP Address pool.
WiFi – OPS
One Push Setup (OPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients
and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long
encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need
to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and OPS will do the rest for you.
The wireless router supports two types of OPS: OPS via Push Button and OPS via PIN code. If you
want to use the Push Button, you have to push a specific button on the wireless client or in the
utility of the wireless client to start the OPS mode, and switch the wireless router to OPS mode.
You can simply push the OPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to Process’ button
in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN
code of the wireless client and switch it to OPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless
client through the web configuration interface of the wireless router.
• OPS: Check the box to enable OPS function and uncheck it to disable the OPS
function.
• OPS Current Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless
router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here. Otherwise, you’ll see
‘UnConfigured’.
• Pin Code: This is the OPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need this
information when connecting to other OPS/WPS-enabled wireless devices.
• SSID: This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router.
• Authentication Mode: It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless
connection.
• Passphrase Key: It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by the
wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information when using
a device which doesn’t support WPS.
• OPS via Push Button: Press the button to start the OPS process. The router will wait
for the OPS/WPS request from the wireless devices within 2 minutes.
• OPS via PIN: You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the button
to start the OPS process. The router will wait for the OPS/WPS request from the
wireless device within 2 minutes.

Interfaces – Overview
On this page you can see the various wired connections of your router. You can also connect
and disconnect the WAN port to troubleshoot your internet connection. By clicking ‘Edit’ you’ll
enter the settings page.
Interfaces - LAN
The LAN tab gives you the opportunity to change the IP settings of the router.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of this screen to save any changes.
• IPv4 address 192.168.0.1: It is the router’s LAN IP address (Your LAN clients default
gateway IP address).
• IPv4 netmask 255.255.255.0: Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN segment.
• DHCP Server: Enabled by default. You can enable or disable the DHCP server. When
DHCP is disabled no ip-addresses are assigned to clients and you have to use static
ip-addresses. When DHCP server is enabled your computers will be assigned an ip-
address automatically until the lease time expires.
• IP Address Pool: You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP server to
issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. The default IP range is 192.168.0.100 ~
192.168.0.200. If you want your PC(s) to have a static/fixed IP address, then you’ll
have to choose an IP address outside this IP address Pool
• Lease Time: Half day. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time period that
the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will change your LAN
client’s IP address when this time threshold period is reached.
• Domain Name: You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN or just keep the default
(sitecom.router).
Static DHCP IP

Interfaces – WAN
Depending on the chosen setting, you may need to enter your user name and password, MAC
address or hostname in the following window. After you have entered the correct information,
click Save & Apply.
Interfaces – WAN6
IPv6 Connection Type
There are several connection types to choose from: Static IPv6, Autoconfiguration, 6RD and
Link-local only. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your IPv6 Internet
Service Provider.
Static IPv6 Mode
This mode is used when your ISP provides you with a set IPv6 addresses that does not change.
The IPv6 information is manually entered in your IPv6 configuration settings. You must enter
the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server and Secondary
DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all this information.
6RD Mode
In the 6RD mode, no additional configuration is necessary.
Link-local Mode
The Link-local address is used by nodes and routers when communicating with neighboring
nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to communicate with each
other on the LAN side.
Interfaces – Switch
A VLAN is a switched network that is logically segmented by function, project team, or
application, without regard to the physical locations of the users. VLANs have the same
attributes as physical LANs, but you can group end stations even if they are not physically
located on the same LAN segment. Any switch module port can belong to a VLAN, and unicast,
broadcast, and multicast packets are forwarded and flooded only to end stations in the VLAN.
Interfaces – Routes
Static routing is a form of routing that occurs when a router uses a manually-configured routing
entry, rather than information from a dynamic routing traffic. Unlike dynamic routing, static
routes are fixed and do not change if the network is changed or reconfigured.
Destination LAN IP: The IP address of the network to include in the routing table.
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host,
type 255.255.255.255
Default Gateway: This must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router.
Metric: Represents the number of routers between your network and the destination.
Interface: Select WAN or LAN, depending on which side you want the route to be active.
Click the + sign to add more routes. Click ‘Save & Apply’ to save the settings.

Firewall Settings
Firewall – Enable
The 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 Save & Apply.
Firewall – 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 Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
Firewall – 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.
Ping of Death: Protection from Ping of Death attacks
Discard Ping From WAN: The router’s WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests
Port Scan: Protects the router from Port Scans.
Sync Flood: Protects the router from Sync Flood attack.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
Firewall – Access
You can restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications/services (e.g. Internet
websites, email, FTP etc.). Access Control allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your
LAN. You can control which PC client can have access to these services.
Deny: If you select “Deny” then all clients will be allowed to access Internet accept for
the clients in the list below.
Allow: If you select “Allow” then all clients will be denied to access Internet accept for
the PCs in the list below.
Filter client PC by MAC: Check “Enable MAC Filtering” to enable MAC Filtering.
Add PC: Fill in “Client PC MAC Address” and “Comment” of the PC that is allowed to
access the Internet, and then click “Add”. If you find any typo before adding it and want
to retype again, just click "Reset" and the fields will be cleared.
Remove PC: If you want to remove some PC from the "MAC Filtering Table", select the
PC you want to remove in the table and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to
remove all PCs from the table, just click the "Delete All" button. If you want to clear the
selection and re-select again, just click “Reset”.
Filter client PCs by IP: Fill in “IP Filtering Table” to filter PC clients by IP.
Add PC: You can click Add PC to add an access control rule for users by IP addresses.
Remove PC: If you want to remove some PCs from the "IP Filtering Table", select the PC
you want to remove in the table and then click “Delete Selected". If you want to remove
all PCs from the table, just click the "Delete All" button.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
Firewall – URL block
You can block access to some Web sites from particular PCs by entering a full URL address or
just keywords of the Web site.
Enable: URL Blocking Enable/disable URL Blocking
Add URL/keyword: Fill in “URL/Keyword” and then click “Add”. You can enter the full URL
address or the keyword of the web site you want to block.
Remove URL/keyword: If you want to remove some URL keywords from the "Current
URL Blocking Table", select the URL keyword you want to remove in the table and then
click "Delete Selected". If you want remove all URL keywords from the table, just click
"Delete All" button. If you want to clear the selection and re-select again, just click
“Reset”.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
Firewall – Virtual Server
Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle
different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet.
Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet
application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number
(from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number.
Enable Virtual Server: Enable Virtual Server.
Local IP: This is the LAN client/host IP address that the Public Port number packet will be
sent to.
Local Port: This is the port number (of the above Private IP host) that the below Public
Port number will be changed to when the packet enters your LAN (to the LAN
Server/Client IP).
Type: Select the port number protocol type (TCP, UDP or both). If you are unsure, then
leave it to the default “both” setting.
Public Port: Enter the service (service/Internet application) port number from the
Internet that will be re-directed to the above Private IP address host in your LAN
Comment: The description of this setting.
Add: Fill in the "Private IP", "Private Port", "Type", “Public Port” and "Comment" of the
setting to be added and then click the + sign. Then this Virtual Server setting will be
added into the "Current Virtual Server Table" below.
Reset: If you want to remove Virtual Server settings from the "Current Virtual Server
Table", select the Virtual Server settings you want to remove in the table and then click
"Delete Selected". If you want to remove all Virtual Server settings from the table, just
click the "Delete All" button. Click "Reset" will clear your current selections.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
Firewall – ALG
An application gateway is an application program that runs on the router. When a client
program establishes a connection to a destination service, it connects to an application
gateway, or proxy. The client then negotiates with the proxy server in order to communicate
with the destination service. In effect, the proxy establishes the connection with the destination
behind the firewall and acts on behalf of the client, hiding and protecting individual computers
on the network behind the firewall.
This creates two connections: one between the client and the proxy server and one between
the proxy server and the destination. Once connected, the proxy makes all packet-forwarding
decisions. Since all communication is conducted through the proxy server, computers behind
the firewall are protected.
You can select the pre-programmed ALG’s on this page.
