DDNS

If your Modem Router’s Internet IP address is assigned dynamically and

you wish to host a Web site or other Internet service, you can sign up with

DynDNS.org or TZO.com for Dynamic DNS (DDNS) service.

Select your DDNS provider from this list box, enter the required information,

and click “

Apply

”. The gateway will send its Internet IP address to the provider

so the provider can update your DNS entry.

For DDNS.org service, you must enter a user name, password, and host name.

For TZO.com service, you must ﬁll in the correct e-mail address, password,

and domain name

Route

Network Address Translation (NAT) lets you use‘private’(and cost-free) IP

addresses on your LAN and a single‘public’IP address (which you must

pay for) on the Internet. When a local computer accesses the Internet, your

broadband modem router changes the source address from the computer’s

to its own Internet IP address. When a response comes back, it changes the

destination address from its Internet IP address to the requesting computer’s

local IP address. NAT is enabled (turned on) by default. Disable it if you do not

need it.

Wireless Conﬁg

For information on conﬁguring a connection with WPS or AOSS, please refer

to the earlier sections of the manual which describe how to use these meth-

ods to establish a wireless connection.

Basic

The “

Basic

” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings - wire-

less network name (SSID), radio, operating channel and security level.

Wireless Radio

Select Disable to turn oﬀ wireless networking, or select the type of wireless

network you are setting up: Mixed (with 11b, 11g and Draft 11n clients),

BG-Mixed (with only 11b and 11g clients), or solely 11b, 11g or Draft 11n

clients. Using the correct setting here ensures that the network will work as

eﬃciently as possible.

Wireless Channel

Your Router is conﬁgured to operate on the proper channels for the country

you reside in. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area,

your network should be set to operate on a channel that is diﬀerent than the

other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least

ﬁve channels away from the other wireless networks. For instance, if another

network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or

below.

150Mbps Mode

Band Width

You can select whether to use 20MHz or 40MHz modes for wireless commu

nication. The 20-MHz channel bandwidth lessens the chance of interference

with other wireless networks. However, the wide 40-MHz channel bandwidth

increases throughput up to 150Mbps.

The default setting is 20MHz.

Extension Channel

When 40MHz has been selected under Band Width, two channels are used - a

Control Channel and an Extension Channel.

The Control Channel is speciﬁed by the “

Wireless Channel

” setting , and the

Extension Channel is speciﬁed by the“

Extension Channel

” setting.

Broadcast SSID

For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID

(set to“

Allow

”by default). Doing so will keep your network name hidden from

computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn oﬀ

the broadcast of the SSID, remove the tick.

Security/Encryption

The WBMR-HP-GN modem router includes a security feature which allows

each wireless client to connect with a diﬀerent level of security. This function

is particularly useful in a situation where a single client can only connect

via WEP (lowest level of security). Because clients can connect at diﬀerent

encryption levels, it means that the security of the remaining wireless devices

is not compromised.

To identify your wireless network, a name called the SSID (Service Set

Identi¬ﬁer) is used. The default SSID of the Router is printed on the label

attached on the back of the Router . You can change this to anything you

want to or you can leave it unchanged. To change the SSID, type in the SSID

that you want to use in the SSID ﬁeld. If you make a change to the SSID, your

wireless-equipped computers may also need to be reconﬁgured to connect

to your new network name.

You can also change the Pre-Shared Key or password for each encryption

type and the Rekey interval (frequency with the key will be renewed).

SSID1

Wireless encryption WPA-PSK-TKIP or WPA/WPA2-Mixed is used for Multi

Security SSID1.

Page 19 / 39

SSID2

Wireless encryption WPA-PSK-AES is used for Multi Security SSID2.

SSID3

Wireless encryption WEP is used for Multi Security SSID3.

Advanced Wireless Settings

BSS BasicRateSet

BSS (Basic Service Set) conﬁgures the transmission rate of communication for

wireless clients. Setup choices may vary with diﬀerent wireless clients.

Multicast Rate

You can select 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54Mbps or Auto.

Default Value is“Auto”.

Reverse Direction Grant

Choose whether Reverse Direction Grant (RDG) function is enabled or disa

bled. During an RD exchange sequence, the RD initiator station may transmit

PPDUs and obtain response PPDUs from a single station (RD responder) dur

ing the exchange. Wireless LAN devices that connect to the AirStation must

also enable the RDG function.

DTIM Period

DTIM (Delivery Traﬃc Identiﬁcation Maps’Period is an interval when wireless

LAN equipment broadcasts DTIM information. Setting larger values saves

power but may slow network traﬃc. This setting is ignored unless power

management is activated on the wireless client. Values that can be inputted:

1-255.Default value is“

”.

Privacy Separator

Choose whether Privacy Separator function is enabled or disabled.

When Privacy Separator is enabled, each wireless LAN device connecting to

the AirStation cannot communicate with other local wireless devices.

However, communication with Internet side is still available.

Output Power

Output Power and the range of the associated electromagnetic waves are

almost proportional. If the Output Power is cut to 50%, the AirStation’s range

will be shortened by about half. You may limit your AirStation’s range by

modifying this value. Default value is“

100 %

”.

WMM

WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) provides multimedia enhancements for Wi-Fi®

networks that improve the user experience for audio, video, and voice ap

plications. WMM Power Save increases the eﬃciency and ﬂexibility of data

transmission..

This screen allows you to prioritise AirStation communication for speciﬁc

transactions. For example you may change settings which can help improve

the quality of VOIP or other streaming protocols.
