Section 4: Advanced Setup

The advanced setup includes Network, Wireless, NAT, Firewall, Utility, Traffic and

System. These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have sufficient

knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know

what effect the changes will have on your wireless router.

4.1 Network

Click “Network” menu, you will see:

Click

“LAN/DHCP Server”,

you will see:

LAN port basic parameter and DHCP server parameter can be setup in this page.

4.2 Wireless

Click “Wireless” menu, and you will see:

4.2.1 Wireless Status

Click “

Wireless Status

” menu, you will see your wireless router configuration and station

status.

Notes:

1.

In order to use DHCP function of the IP Router, TCP/IP protocol of PCs in LAN

must be configured as “Obtain an IP address automatically”.

2.

After configured please click “Apply” to make the configuration valid. Please

save the configuration, otherwise configuration will be lost when IP Router is

4.2.2 Wireless setup

Click

“Wireless Setup”,

you will see

The interface will show the basic wireless parameter and wireless certification way configuration.

Wireless Status:

Show current

Wireless Configuration and

wireless station status.

Operation:

You can choose

Start

or

Stop

the wireless function

SSID:

You can change the SSID for your wireless router

Mode:

If wireless connection conforms to 11G and 11B and 11N standard ,

Region:

Area where you are using the wireless router

Channel:

Choose the wireless channel in AP mode; if in client mode, channel option is

disabling.

Encryption:

You can choose Disable, WEP64, WEP128, TKIP, AES and TKIP/AES

WEP:

Wired Equivalent Protocol

WPA:

WI-FI Protected Access Wi-Fi, WPA is an intermediate solution for the security issues.

It uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to replace WEP.

TKIP:

TKIP is a compromise on strong security and possibility to use existing hardware. It

still uses RC4 for the encryption like WEP, but with per-packet RC4 keys. In addition, it

implements replay protection, keyed packet authentication mechanism (Michael MIC).

802.1X:

The original security mechanism of IEEE 802.11 standard was not designed to be

strong and has proven to be insufficient for most networks that require some kind of security.

Task group I (Security) of IEEE 802.11 working group has worked to address the flaws of the

base standard and in practice completed its work in May 2004. The IEEE 802.11i

amendment to the IEEE 802.11 standard was approved in June 2004 and published in July

2004.

After finished configuration, click “Apply”.

4.2.3 MAC Authentication

You can control the PC to connect the wireless router through MAC authentication.

4.2.4 WDS Setup

Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs, like

the Ethernet does. To do this, you must set these APs in the same channel and set MAC

address of other APs which you want to communicate with in the table and then enable

the WDS.

4.2.5 WPS Setup

This page allows you to change the setting for WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). Using this

feature could make your wireless client automatically synchronize its setting and connect

to the Access Point in a minute without any hassle.

Notes:

After setup, please click

, save IP router configuration, otherwise, configuration

will be lost when power off or router is restarted.

4.2.6 Advanced Setup

Advanced Setup is for advanced parameter settings; keep the default configuration for

common users.

4.3 NAT/Routing

Click "NAT/Routing” menu, you can see following interface:

4.3.1 Port Forwarding

Entered into this interface, you can redirect common network services automatically to a

specific device behind the NAT firewall. This setting is only necessary when you want to

host some sort of servers like a Web server or mail server on the private local network

behind your Gateway's NAT firewall.
