Setting WEP Encryption
Note to Mac users
: The “Passphrase” option will not operate with
Apple® AirPort®° To configure encryption for your Mac computer, set
the encryption using the manual method described in the next section°
1�
Select “128-bit WEP” or “64-bit WEP” from the drop-down menu°
2�
After selecting your WEP encryption mode, you can enter you WEP
key manually by typing in the hex WEP key manually, or you can
type a passphrase in the “PassPhrase” field and click “Generate” to
create a WEP key from the passphrase° Click “Apply Changes” to
finish° You must now set all of your clients to match these settings°
Using a Hexadecimal Key
A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and
0–9° 64-bit keys are 10 digits long and can be divided into five two-digit
numbers° 128-bit keys are 26 digits long and can be divided into 13 two-
digit numbers°
For instance:
AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key
C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 =
128-bit key
In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters
between A–F and 0–9° You will use this key to program the encryption
settings on your Router and your wireless computers°
Note to Mac users
: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit
encryption only° Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit
encryption° Please check your product to see which version you are
using° If you cannot configure your network with 128-bit encryption, try
64-bit encryption°
3�
Encryption in the Router is now set° Each of your computers on
your wireless network will now need to be configured with the same
passphrase° Refer to the documentation of your wireless network
adapter for information on making this change°

Using the Access Point Mode
Note
: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users
only° The Router can be configured to work as a wireless network
access point° Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and
DHCP server° In AP mode, the Router will need to be configured with an
IP address that is in the same subnet as the rest of the network that you
will bridge to° The default IP address is 192°168°2°254 and subnet mask
is 255°255°255°0° These can be customized for your need°
1�
Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access
Point only” page° When you select this option, you will be able to
change the IP settings°
2�
Set your IP settings to match your network° Click “Apply Changes”°
3�
Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your existing
network°
The Router is now acting as an access point° To access the Router
advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified into
your browser’s navigation bar° You can set the encryption settings, MAC
address filtering, SSID, and channel normally°

Configuring the Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:
•
IP Spoofing
•
Land Attack Ping of Death (PoD)
•
Denial of Service (DoS)
•
IP with zero length
•
Smurf Attack
•
TCP Null Scan
•
SYN flood
•
UDP flooding
•
Tear Drop Attack
•
ICMP defect
•
RIP defect
•
Fragment flooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to
attack networks° These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for
all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker° You
can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended
that you leave the firewall enabled° Disabling the firewall protection will
not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is
recommended that you leave the firewall enabled°

Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings
The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet)
calls for services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or
other applications through your Router to your internal network° Since
your internal computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside
your network (over the Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot
be “seen”° A list of common applications has been provided in case you
need to configure the Virtual Server function for a specific application°
If your application is not listed, you will need to contact the application
vendor to find out which port settings you need°
Choosing an Application
Select your application from the drop-down list° Click “Add”° The
settings will be transferred to the next available space in the screen°
Click “Apply Changes” to save the setting for that application° To remove
an application, select the number of the row that you want to remove
then click “Clear”°
Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server
To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided
for the internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a
comma between multiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP),
and click “Apply Changes”° You can only pass one port per internal IP
address° Opening ports in your firewall can pose a security risk° You can
enable and disable settings very quickly° It is recommended that you
disable the settings when you are not using a specific application°
