Internet

Status

This page shows the current Internet connection type and status

Dynamic IP

Use the MAC address when registering for Internet service, and do not change it unless required by your ISP. If your ISP used the MAC

address of the Ethernet card as an identifier, connect only the PC with the registered MAC address to the broadband router and click the

<Clone MAC> button. This will replace the current MAC address with the already registered Ethernet card MAC address

Host Name: This is optional.

MAC address: The default value is set to the WAN’s physical interface of the broadband router.

Static IP

If your ISP Provider has assigned a fixed IP address, enter the assigned IP address, Subnet mask, Default Gateway IP address, and

Primary DNS of your ISP provider.

Point-to-Point over Ethernet Protocol (PPPoE)

Login / Password: Enter the PPPoE username and password assigned by your ISP Provider.

Service Name: This is normally optional.

Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU): This is the maximum size of the packets.

Type: Enable the Auto-reconnect option to automatically re-establish the connection when an application attempts to access the Internet

again.

Idle Timeout: This is a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive

for longer than the Maximum Idle Time, it will be dropped.

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)

PPTP allows the secure connection over the Internet by simply dialing in a local point provided by your ISP provider. The following screen

allows client PCs to establish a normal PPTP session and provides hassle-free configuration of the PPTP client on each client PC.

Click <Apply> to save configuration and connect to ISP provider.

Wireless Settings

Basic

In basic setting page, you can set wireless Radio, Mode, Band, SSID, and Channel.

Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless.

Mode: In this device, we support three operation modes which are AP router, AP route with WDS (see below), and repeater. If you choose

AP Router Mode, you can select AP or WDS function in the drop-down menu.

Band: You can select the wireless standards running on your network environment.

•

2.4 GHz(B): If all your clients are 802.11b, select this one.

•

2.4 GHz(N): If all your clients are 802.11n, select this one.

•

2.4 GHz(B+G): Either an 802.11b or an 802.11g wireless devices are in your environment.

•

2.4 GHz(G): If all your clients are 802.11g, select this one.

•

2.4 GHz(B+G+N): Either 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n wireless devices are in your environment.

Enable SSID: This device supports up to 4 SSIDs. Select the number you would like to use in your network.

SSID1~4: SSID is the name of your wireless network. Use a unique name to identify this wireless device in the Wireless LAN. It is case

sensitive and up to 3± characters. You should change the default SSID for added security.

Auto Channel: Device will search all valid channels, then decide a most clean channel and change to this channel if you enable this

function. Depend on this function enable or not, you will see different item below Auto Channel.

Check Channel Time: If Auto Channel is enabled, you can choose a period from the drop-down menu. AP will change to a clean channel

periodically.

WDS with AP Router

Wireless Distribution System, a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access point, allows a wireless network to be expanded

using multiple access points without a wired backbone to link them. Each WDS AP need to be set as same channel and encryption type.

MAC address 1~4: Please enter the MAC address of the neighboring APs that participates in WDS, we support

4 devices now.

Set Security: WDS Security depends on your AP security settings. Note: it does not support mixed mode such as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Mixed mode.

Advanced

This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the

changes will have on the router.

Fragment Threshold: This 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 than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send

this packet.

DTIM Period: Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients

of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages

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.

Channel Bandwidth:

This 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.

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: This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.

Security

SSID Selection: This broadband router support multiple SSID, you could select and set up the wanted SSID.

Broadcast SSID: If you enabled “Broadcast SSID”, 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 SSID” can

provide better security.

WMM: Wi-Fi MultiMedia if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in applications.

Encryption: When you choose to disable encryption, your network is unsecured.
