WPA2 Pre-Shared Key
WPA2 Algorithms:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) utilizes a stronger encryption
method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against
hackers.
WPA2 Shared Key:
The key for
network authentication
.
The input format is in character
style and key size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters.
Group Key Renewal:
The period of renewal time for changing the security key
automatically between wireless client and Access Point (AP).
WEP
WEP Encryption:
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP.
If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from:
WEP
64 and WEP 128
. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP 64.

Passphrase:
This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input
string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in
both the AP and Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you
do not have to enter
Key (1-4)
as below when the
Passphrase
is enabled..
Key (1-4):
Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission,
the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router.
There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes
are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively, the separator is “-“. For example, using
WEP64, 11-22-33-44-55 is a valid key, whilst 1122334455 is invalid.
Hide ESSID:
User can select Enable or Disable to hide ESSID.
4.3.1.4 DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or
enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to
dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP
addresses automatically.
To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check
Disabled
and click
Next
then click
Apply.

When the DHCP Server is disabled you need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each
PC on your network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router
To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check
DHCP Server
and
click
Next
. You can then
configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and
ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP
address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the
gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it
requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click
Apply
to enable this function. If you
check “
Use Router as a DNS Server
”, the ADSL Router performs the domain name lookup,
finds the IP address from the outside network automatically and forwards it back to the
requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).

If you check
DHCP Relay Agent
and click
Next
then you must enter the IP address of the
DHCP server which assigns an IP address back to the DHCP client in the LAN. Use this
function only if advised to do so by your network administrator or ISP. Click
Apply
to enable
this function.

4.3.2 WAN (Wide Area Network)
A WAN (Wide Area Network) is an outside connection to another network or the Internet.
There are three items within the
WAN
section:
ISP
,
DNS
and
ADSL.
4.3.2.1 ISP
The factory default is PPPoE. If your ISP uses this access protocol, click
Edit
to input other
parameters as below. If your ISP does not use PPPoE, you can change the default WAN
connection entry by clicking
Change
.
A simpler alternative is to select
Quick Start
from the main menu on the left. See the Quick
Start section of the manual for more information.
