IP Mode

IPv4 Only—

Select this option to use IPv4 on the Internet and local network.

Dual-Stack IP—

Select this option to use IPv4 on the Internet and IPv4 and IPv6 on the local

network.

6to4 Tunnel—

Allows your IPv6 network to connect to other IPv6 networks via tunnels through

IPv4 (per RFC3056). The remote router also needs to support 6to4 as well.

Since the tunnel can

be automatically formed based on traffic, there is no limit on how many tunnels you can have.

6to4 Gateway Access Control—

By default, this route allows 6to4 connections to or from

any

other 6to4 gateway. By enabling this Access Control, you can have a better control which IPv6

clouds this router is connecting to. A list of IP addresses can be entered in the Access List. Those

should be the IPv4 addresses of the remote 6to4 gateways.

•

Permit following sites

—Allow only a limited set of 6to4 gateways to establish tunnel

with the router. Up to 20 sites can be configured and they can send traffic

simultaneously.

•

Block following sites

—Prevent a limited set of 6to4 gateways from establishing

tunnels with the router. Up to 20 sites can be configured.

Static 6to4 DNS entry—

Allow users to configure static DNS entry to map hostname to IPv6

address.

This will provide a convenient way for users to access remote IPv6 hosts.

Wireless Tab

Setting Up and Configuring the Router

Wireless Channel

—Select the appropriate channel to be used between your Wireless Router

and your client devices. The default is channel 6. You can also select

Auto

so that your Wireless

Router will select the channel with the lowest amount of wireless interference while the system

is booting up. Auto channel selection will start when you click the

Save Settings

button, and it

will take several seconds to scan through all the channels to find the best channel. For the

Wireless-N 40MHz channel option (see Wireless - Advanced Wireless Settings Tab), the Wireless

Router will automatically select the adjacent 20MHz channel to combine them into a wider

channel.

Multiple BSSID

—Select Enabled or Disabled as required.

SSID Name

—The SSID is the unique name shared between all devices in a wireless network. It

is case-sensitive, must not exceed 32 alphanumeric characters, and may be any keyboard

character. Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network. The default

SSID name is linksys-n.

SSID Broadcast

—Allows the SSID to be broadcast on your network. You may want to enable

this function while configuring your network, but make sure that you disable it when you are

finished. With this enabled, someone could easily obtain the SSID information with site survey

software or Windows XP and gain unauthorized access to your network. Click

Enabled

broadcast the SSID to all wireless devices in range. Click

Disabled

to increase network security

and prevent the SSID from being seen on networked PCs. The default is

Enabled

in order to

help users configure their network before use.

Wireless Security

Security Mode

—Select the wireless security mode you want to use,

WEP, WPA-Personal

WPA2-Personal

WPA2-Personal Mixed

WPA-Enterprise

WPA2-Enterprise,

WPA2-

Enterprise Mixed

. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a security standard

stronger than WEP encryption and forward compatible with IEEE 802.11e. WEP stands for Wired

Equivalent Privacy, Enterprise refers to using RADIUS server for authentication, while RADIUS

stands for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) Refer to the appropriate instructions

below after you select the Authentication Type and SSID Interoperability settings. To disable

wireless security completely, select

Disabled

. The default is

Disabled

Wireless Isolation (between SSID w/o VLAN

)—When disabled, wireless PCs that are

associated to the same network name (SSID), can see and transfer files between each other. By

enabling this feature, Wireless PCs will not be able to see each other. This feature is very useful

when setting up a wireless hotspot location. The default is Disabled.

The following section describes the detailed options for each Security Mode.
