Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the WLR-2001 Wireless Network Broadband

Router. The WLR-2001 is compliant with 802.11n and up to 6 times faster than

standard 802.11g based routers while still being compatible with 802.11g &

802.11b gadgets. The WLR-2001 is not only a Wireless Access Point, but also

doubles as a 2-port full-duplex Switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices

together.

At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router

uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple

steams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless access to

multimedia content. Robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and

extends network range. For data protection and privacy, the WLR-2001 encodes

all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption.

With the inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WLR-2001 protects your

computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides safe

VPN pass-through. With incredible speed and QoS function of 802.11n, the WLR-

2001 is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and

VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network

at the same time, with no degradation in performance.

Besides, it also provides a USB port which let you easily share a 3G/UMTS

modem.

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 the WLR-

2001.

Enable 802.1x Auth

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to

processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE

802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication

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.

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.

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.

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" and "Comment" of

the wireless station to be added and then click "Add". The wireless station will

now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below. If you are having any

difficulties filling in the fields, just click "Clear" and both "MAC Address" and

"Comment" fields will be cleared.

Remove an address from the list If you want to remove a MAC address from

the "Current Access Control List ", select the MAC address that you want to

remove in the list and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to remove all the

MAC addresses from the list, just click the "Delete All" button. Click "Reset" will

clear your current selections.

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.

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 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 WPS will do the rest for you.

The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS

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

WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply push the

WPS 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 WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN

code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the wireless

router.

WPS Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the WPS

function.

WPS 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’.

Self Pin Code This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need this

information when connecting to other 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.

WPS via Push Button Press the button to start the WPS process. The router will

wait for the WPS request from the wireless devices within 2 minutes.

WPS via PIN You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the

button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from

the wireless device within 2 minutes.

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.

Edit a QoS rule Select the rule you want to edit and click “Edit”, then enter the

detail form of the QoS rule. Click “Apply” after editing the form and the rule will

be saved.

Adjust QoS rule priority You can select the rule and click “Move Up” to make its

priority higher. You also can select the rule and click “Move Down” to make its

priority lower.
