Authentication
The authentication methods supported by WL-500gP include: Open, shared key,
WPA-PSK, WPA, and Radius with 80.211x.
Open:
This option disables authentication protection for wireless network. Under
Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g client can connect to your wireless network.
Shared:
This mode uses the the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.
WPA and WPA-PSK:
WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two
security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and WPA-PSK for home and SOHO
users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the already existing RADIUS server for
authentication; for home and SOHO user, it provides Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for
user identification. The Pre-Shared Key consists of 8 to 64 characters.
Radius with 802.11x:
Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server
for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption mothods: WPA adopts
TKIP or AES encryption methods, while Radius with 802.11x does not provide
encryption.
When authentication and encryption are set, click
Finish
to save the settings and
restart the wireless router.

5) Setting up DDNS
DNS enables host who uses static IP address to associate with a domain name;
for dynamic IP user, they can also associate with a domain name via dynamic
DNS (DDNS). DDNS requires registering and account-creating at DDNS service
providers' website. The DDNS server updates your IP address information once
you are assigned to a new IP address. Therefore, Internet user can always access
your network.

Miscellaneous
from IP Config folder.
2. Select
Yes
to enable the
DDNS service. If you do
not have a DDNS account,
click

4) Setting up virtual DMZ in your LAN
To expose an internal host to Internet and make all services provided by this host
available to outside users, enable Vitural DMZ function to open all ports of the host.
This function is useful when the host plays multiple roles such as HTTP server and
FTP server. However, in doing this, your network becomes less secure.
