The router supports more than one Ethernet IP addresses in the LAN, and with distinct LAN
subnets through which you can access the Internet at the same time. Users usually only
have one subnet in their LAN. The default IP address for the router is 192.168.1.254.
IP Address:
The default IP on this router.
Netmask:
The default subnet mask on this router.
RIP:
RIP v1, RIP v2 Broadcast, RIP v1+v2 Broadcast and RIP v2 Multicast.
5.3.1.2 IP Alias
This function allows the creation of multiple virtual IP interfaces on this router. It helps to
connect two or more local networks to the ISP or remote node. In this case, an internal router
is not required.
IP Address:
Specify an IP address on this virtual interface.
Netmask:
Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.
Press Add to apply and the corresponding information will be listed below.

the two timeslots you have set.
For setup and detail
,
refer to
Time Schedule

802.11g+n
(Mixed mode). If you do not know or have both
11g and 11n devices in your network, then keep the default in
mixed mode
. From the
drop-down manual, you can select
802.11g
if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b
card, then select
802.11b
. If you have only 11n card, then select
802.11n
.
ESSID:
The ESSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be
distinguished from another. For security propose, change to
a unique ID name to the AP
which is already built-in to the router’s wireless interface. It is case sensitive and must not
excess 32 characters. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the ESSID as the device,
in order to get connected to your network.
Note:
ESSID is case sensitive and must not excess 32 characters.
Hide ESSID:
It is function in which transmits its ESSID to the air so that when wireless
client searches for a network, router can then be discovered and recognized. Default setting
is
Disable.
~
Enable:
Select Enable
if you do not want broadcast your ESSID. When select Enable,
no one will be able to locate the Access Point (AP) of your router.
~
Disable:
When Disable is selected, you can allow anybody with a wireless client to
be able to locate the Access Point (AP) of your router.
Regulation Domain:
There are seven Regulation Domains for you to choose from,
including
North America (N.America)
,
Europe
,
France
, etc. The Channel ID will be
different based on this setting.
Channel ID:
Select the ID channel that you would like to use.

Channel
Wdith:
Select either
20 MHz
or
20/40 MHz
or
40MHZ
for the channel bandwidth.
The higher the bandwidth the better the performance will be.
Note:
This parameter appears only when you select one of the item as the following graph
Tx Power Level:
It is function that enhances the wireless transmitting signal strength.
User may adjust this power level from minimum 0 up to maximum 100.
Note:
The Power Level maybe different in each access network user premises environment
and choose the most suitable level for your network.
AP MAC Address:
It is a unique hardware address of the Access Point.
AP Firmware Version:
The Access Point firmware version.
WPS service:
Enable / disable
WPS State:
Current WPS state in AP. It is be used for WCN (Windows Connect Now).
~
Configured:
This AP is be configured via WPS. It is not allowed to configure via
WCN.
~
Unconfigured:
This AP is un-configured via WPS. It can be configured via WCN.
WMM:
This feature works concurrently with QoS that enables the system to prioritize the
flow of data packets according to 4 categories: Voice, Video, Best Efforts and Background.
Enable:
Check to activate WMM feature.
Disable:
Check to deactivate WMM feature.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
It is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other
access point. It is easy to be installed, simply define the peer’s MAC address of the
connected AP. WDS takes advantages of cost saving and flexibility which no extra wireless
client device is required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing
wired or wireless infrastructure network to create a larger network.
WDS Service:
The default setting is
Disable.
Check
Enable
radio button to activate this
function.
1. Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the associated AP’s MAC Address. It is important that
your peer’s AP must include your MAC address in order to acknowledge and
communicate with each other.
2. Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the second associated AP’s MAC Address.
Page 60 / 139

3. Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the third associated AP’s MAC Address.
4. Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the fourth associated AP’s MAC Address.
Note: For MAC Address, Semicolon ( : ) or Dash (-) must be included.
