IP Address:
The default IP on this router.
Netmask:
The default subnet mask on this router.
RIP:
RIP v1, RIP v2, RIP v1+v2 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.

if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b
card, then select
802.11b
.
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.
~

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.
In addition, WDS enhances its link connection security in WEP mode, WEP key encryption
must be the same for both access points.
Note:
WDS function will disappear automatically if wireless security is not in WEP
mode.
WDS Service:
The default setting is
Disable.
Check
Enable
radio button to activate this
function.

communicate with each other.
2. Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the second associated AP’s MAC Address.
3. Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the third associated AP’s MAC Address.
