

Upload/Download:

specifies the traffic direction for the selected IP addresses.



Bandwidth Range:

The maximum and minimum upload/download data traffic of

the hosts in specified IP range. The unit is KByte/sec. The uplink of upload and

download cannot exceed the WAN port bandwidth limitation range (by default is

1500 or 1492).



Enable:

enables the current edited rule. Otherwise, the rule will not go into

effect.



Add to list:

After you edit the rule, click the “

Add to list

” button to add the current

rule to the rule list.

Here we take 2Mbps bandwidth as an example. Theoretically, the biggest downloading

rate for 2Mbps bandwidth is 2Mbps=256KByte/s, and the biggest uploading rate is

512kbps=64KByte/s

Example 1

If you want to set the download rate of the computer at the IP address of 192.168.8.2 as

80-90KByte/s, upload rate as 10-15KByte/s, first add one upload rule as shown in the

picture below:

1. Enter 192.168.8.2 in the both IP address fields

2. Select upload in the Upload/Download field.

3. Enter 10-15 in the bandwidth range field

4. Select “Enable”

5. Click “Add to list”

6. Click “Apply” to finish the upload rule settings.

And then add a download rule as shown in the picture below.

1. Enter 192.168.8.2 in the both IP address fields

2. Select download in the Upload/Download field.

3. Enter 80-90 in the bandwidth range field

4. Select “Enable”

5. Click “Add to list”

6. Click “Apply” to finish the download rule settings.

Example 2

Set the download rate of all computers within the range of

192.168.8.2--192.168.8.254 as 100-120KByte/s, and the upload rate as 20-30KByte/s,

as shown in the picture below.

4.8 Traffic Statistics

Traffic statistics is used to display the bandwidth that LAN devices have used.

Enable Traffic Statistics

: Enable the Medialink router to calculate the traffic used by the

LAN devices. By default, Traffic Statistics is disabled to improve the router’s data packet

processing ability. When this function is enabled, the webpage will refresh automatically

every five minutes, meanwhile, each computer’s traffic value will refresh automatically.



IP Address:

The IP address of the device whose traffic is being calculated.



Uplink Rate:

The data speed of data sent from the device per second, the unit is

KByte/s.



Downlink Rate:

The data speed of data received by the device per second, the

unit is KByte/s.



Sent Message:

The number of the calculated data packets that are sent out

through the router.



Sent Bytes:

The volume of the calculated device’s statistics that is sent out

through the router.



Received Message:

The number of the calculated data packets that are received

through the router.



Received Bytes:

The volume of the calculated device’s statistics that is received

through the router.

4.9 Firewall

This page allows you to disable/enable the router’s Firewall.

4.10 WAN Medium Type / Range Extender

Wired WAN and Wireless WAN

Wired WAN:

In this mode, a network cable is directly connected to the WAN port. Wired

WAN is the default mode.

Wireless WAN

: This mode can be used if your ISP provides a wireless connection

service or if you want to use it to amplify your existing wireless network.

SSID

: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the identity of the wireless device to which you

wish to connect the Medialink router. Click the “Open Scan” button to let the router

automatically search for an SSID.

MAC

: To connect to the wireless device, the device’s MAC Address must be in this field.

Click the “Open Scan” button to let the router automatically search for the wireless

device’s MAC.

Channel

: The wireless device’s communication channel. You must select the same

channel as the connecting wireless device to enable their communications. Click the

“Open Scan” button to see the channel of the connecting wireless network.

Security Mode

: This must be set to the same security mode that is used by the

connecting device. The Medialink router must have the same Security Mode, Algorithm

or Encryption Mode and Key as the wireless device. These must be entered manually. If

the security settings are not entered correctly, the Medialink router will not be able to

communicate with the wireless device.
