Full Manual

WDS

: Place a check in this box to enable WDS (Wireless Distribution

System). When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless

repeater and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links.

Note

that WDS is incompatible with WPA -- both features cannot be used at

the same time. A WDS link is bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC

Address (creates the WDS link) of the other AP, and the other AP must have a

WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs are configured with same

channel number.

WDS AP MAC Address

: Specify one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must

also have the MAC address of this AP to create the WDS link back to this AP.

Click on the

Apply

button to store these changes.

Advanced Network

In this section you can configure the UPnP, WAN Ping, WAN port speed, multicast

streams, and PPPoE pass-through settings.

Enable UPnP

: Place a check in this box to enable UPnP.

UPnP is short for

Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides

compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This

router has optional UPnP capability, and can work with other UPnP devices

and software.

Allow Users to disable Internet Access

: Place a check in this box if you

would like to allow to user to terminate the WAN session.

Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings

: Place a check in this box

if you would like the users to add, modify, or delete server mapping entries.

Enable WAN Ping Respond

: Place a check in this box if you would like this

device to be pinged from the WAN side.

WAN Ping Inbound Filter

: You may select the computer that may ping this

device from the WAN side.

WAN Port Speed

: You may select a WAN port speed from the drop-down

list. It is recommended that you select

Auto

Enable Multicast Streams

: Place a check in this box to enable multicast

streams. The router uses the IGMP protocol to support efficient multicasting -

- transmission of identical content, such as multimedia, from a source to a

number of recipients. This option must be enabled if any applications on the

LAN participate in a multicast group. If you have a multimedia LAN application

that is not receiving content as expected, try enabling this option.

Enable PPPoE Pass Through

: Place a check in this box to enable PPPoE

pass-through. This option controls whether LAN computers can act as PPPoE

clients and negotiate the PPP sessions through the router over the WAN

ethernet link. Enabling this option allows LAN computers to act as PPPoE

clients. Disabling this option prevents LAN computers from establishing PPPoE

pass-through connections.
