11 Wireless Settings

You can set parameters that are used for the wireless stations to connect to

this router. The parameters include Mode, ESSID, Channel Number and

Associated Client.

Wireless Function

Enable or Disable Wireless function here. Click Apply and wait for module to

be ready & loaded.

Basic Settings

Mode Allows you to set the AP to AP, Station, Bridge or WDS mode.

Band Allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You can

also select B+G mode to allow 80211b and 802.11g clients at the same time.

ESSID This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the

devices in the same wireless LAN should have the same ESSID.

Channel The channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same

wireless LAN should use the same channel.

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.

Authentication Type There are two authentication types: "Open System"

and "Shared Key". When you select "Open System", wireless stations can

associate with this wireless router without WEP encryption. When you select

"Shared Key", you should also setup a WEP key in the "Encryption" page.

After this has been done, make sure the wireless clients that you want to

connect to the device are also setup with the same encryption key.

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.

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.

N Data Rate The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to

transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data

rate can be fixed.

Channel Bandwidth is the range of frequencies that will be used.

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.

CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism.

This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and

802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the

throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is

transmitted.

TX Power can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.

WMM WiFi Multi Media if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio,

video and voice in applications.

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-

1000/2000/3000.

Enable 802.1x Auth

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

account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The

authentication is 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

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.
