This section will allow you to change the local network settings of the access point and to configure the DHCP

settings.

Enter the IP address of the access point. The default IP address is

192.168.0.50. If you change the IP address, once you click Apply,

you will need to enter the new IP address in your browser to get

back into the configuration utility.

Enter the Subnet Mask assigned by your ISP.

Enter the Gateway assigned by your ISP.

Enter the Device Name of the AP. It is recommended to change

the Device Name if there is more than one D-Link device within the

subnet.

Static IP

Select Static IP Address if all the Internet port’s IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter in

the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address, and DNS address(es) provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address

entered in the fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Access

point will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format.

MAC Address Filter

The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses

of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network.

A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.

Configure MAC

Filtering:

When “OFF” is selected, MAC addresses are not

used to control network access. When “ALLOW”

is selected, only computers with MAC addresses

listed in the MAC Address List are granted network

access. When “DENY” is selected, any computer

with a MAC address listed in the MAC Address List

is refused access to the network.

Set the transmit power of the antennas.

Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point to

synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value.

100 is the default setting and is recommended.

This value should remain at its default setting of

2346. If inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a

minor modification should be made.

The fragmentation threshold, which is specified

in bytes, determines whether packets will be

fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte

setting will be fragmented before transmission. 2346

is the default setting.

(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 1 is the default

setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients

of the next window for listening to broadcast and

multicast messages.

This enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification developed to allow implementation of wireless networks in

countries that cannot use the 802.11 standard. This feature should only be enabled if you are in a country that requires it.

Enabling L2 (Layer 2) Isolation prevents associated wireless clients from communicating with each other.

WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless

clients.

Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore increasing the data capacity.

However, it’s less reliable and may

create higher data loss.

*Note:

Transmit power is regulated by international standards and users are forbidden to change its maximum limit. Regarding the frequency of 802.11d, every country

limits the frequency range used within its territory. Consumers are only allowed to purchase products that operates with the country regulated frequency.

WISH Rule:

Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to

prioritize your traffic.

Allows the access point to recognize HTTP transfers

for many common audio and video streams and

prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams

are frequently used by digital media players.

Enables the access point to recognize certain

audio and video streams generated by a Windows

Media Center PC and to prioritize these above

other traffic. Such streams are used by systems

known as Windows Media Extenders, such as the

Xbox 360.

When enabled, this option allows the access

point to automatically attempt to prioritize traffic

streams that it doesn’t otherwise recognize, based

on the behavior that the streams exhibit. This acts

to de-prioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer

characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving

interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running

at a normal priority.

A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and

assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications,

the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and

specific WISH Rules are not required.

WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than

one rule matches for a specific message flow, the

rule with the highest priority will be used.

WISH

WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using

a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of different applications.
