VLAN
VLAN Table:
In this table you can click on the ‘ADD VLAN’ button to add a ‘VLAN’ binding or click on ‘EDIT’ to edit
an existing binding, or click on ‘DELETE’ to remove a binding.
VLAN Profile:
This screen will appear if you click on
‘ADD VLAN’ or ‘EDIT’ from the VLAN page.
Description:
detailed description of the VLAN.
IP Address:
IP address of the VLAN virtual interface
on the gateway.
Subnet Mask:
subnet mask of the VLAN virtual
interface.
NAT Domain:
NAT addressing domain to define the
NAPT operation of the VLAN virtual interface. Public
means that this VLAN will be visible to the Internet.
Private means NAT is enabled to protect the subnet
from visibility to the Internet.
IGMP Snooping:
enable/disable the feature to block
unnecessary IP multicast traffic f looding among VLAN
ports without the specific multicast membership. This
feature is working based on snooping IGMP Join/
Leave messages among the VLAN ports to update
the bridging forwarding database. IGMP Snooping
is extremely useful in saving bandwidth of flow-
speed interfaces (ex WLAN) to improve the network
utilization.
IGMP Querier:
enable/disable IGMP querying to
the VLAN virtual interface. The option is to control
whether to behave as an IGMP querier on the VLAN
bridging network If IGMP Querier option is disabled,
the router will act as an IP multicast compliant host
and send IGMP reports for its own joined IP multicast
groups.No IGMP query messages will be sent to the
specific VLAN.

VLAN Access Control:
In this table you can enable or disable the communication between the VLAN bindings by ticking (enable) or
un-ticking (disable) the corresponding name in the table.
The DHCP Clients List displays the IP Address, Host Name and MAC Address of each client that has requested an
IP address since the last reboot of the Router. Check the ‘Fix’ box to have the IP address and the MAC address
linked so that the IP address will always be assigned as it is on this screen.
Wireless
The router also operates as a wireless access point,
allowing wireless computers to communicate with
each other. To configure this function, you need to
enable the wireless function, and you may also setup
the security options if needed.
Wireless Settings
Check Enable or Disable and click ‘SAVE SETTINGS’ This
will turn the wireless function on or off and enable or
disable wireless clients to connect to the router.
The router supports two wireless SSID’s, to enable the
second SSID place a tick in the ‘Secondary Wireless
Module’ and click ‘SAVE SETTINGS’.

Note:
If you experience poor
performance, you
may be encountering
interference from
another wireless
device. Try changing
the channel, as this may
eliminate interference
and increase
performance Channels
1, 6, and 11, as the
three non-overlapping
channels in the 2.4GHz
range, are preferred
The available channel
settings are limited
by local regulations.
(Default Range: 1-13)
Channel and SSID
These settings should be left as default unless you have a reason to change them. You can change the
Service Set ID (SSID) and a common radio channel to be used by the router and all of its wireless clients. Be
sure you configure all of its clients to the same values. The SSID is case-sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters. Functioning as an access point, the gateway can be configured for roaming clients by
setting the SSID and wireless channel.
See the description of the parameters below.
Parameter Description
SSID:
Service Set ID. The SSID must be the same on
the router and all of its wireless clients. The SSID is the
name of your wireless
Show or hide the broadcasting of the SSID. Show
SSID broadcasting on the wireless network for easy
connection with client PCs
Note:
The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up
to 32 alphanumeric characters. (Default: WLAN)
Wireless Mode:
This device supports 11n, 11g and 11b
wireless networks. Make your selection depending on
the type of wireless network that you have. (Default:
802 11n + 802 11g + 802 11b)
Channel:
The radio channel used by the wireless
router and its clients to communicate with each
other. This channel must be the same on the router
and all of its wireless clients. (Default: 6)

Wireless Access Control
Using the Access Control functionality, you can specify which PCs can wirelessly connect to the access point.
Each PC has a unique identifier known as a Medium Access Control (MAC) address. With MAC filtering enabled,
only the computers whose MAC address you have listed in the filtering table may connect to the router.
See the description of the Access Control features below.
Parameter Description
Enable MAC Filtering: Enable or disable the MAC filtering function.
Access Rule for registered MAC address: When MAC filtering is enabled, all registered MAC addresses are
controlled by this Access Rule.
MAC Filtering Table: Enter the MAC addresses of the network card you wish to allow or deny connection (Up to
32 stations).

Security
It is important to be aware of security issues, especially when using wireless. You can configure your security
settings on this page. You can set security on one SSID or both, select the appropriate SSID from the ‘Select
Virtual AP’ drop down box.
If you are transmitting sensitive data across radio
channels, you should enable wireless security.
For a more secure network, the router can implement
one or a combination of the following security
mechanisms:
Disabled
WEP Only
WPA and/or WPA2
WPA and 802.1x*
* Using 8021x security requires support to do so from your OS or other
third party radius server software, and is not recommended unless you
are familiar with setting up such systems.
Security Client Support Implementation
Considerations
WEP:
Built-in support on all 802.11b and 802.11g devices.
WPA:
Requires WPA-enabled system and network
card. Some wireless cards may not support this,
please check with the wireless card’s manufacturer.
WPA2:
Requires WPA2 enabled system and network
card. Some wireless cards may not support this,
please check with the wireless card’s manufacturer.
