Section 3 - Configuration
WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using a wireless network by prioritizing
the traffic of different applications.
Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize
your traffic.
Enable WISH:
Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many
common audio and video streams and prioritize them
above other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by
digital media players.
HTTP:
Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video
streams generated by a Windows Media Center PC and to
prioritize these above other traffic. Such streams are used
by systems known as Windows Media Extenders, such as
the Xbox 360.
Windows Media
Center:
When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically
attempt to prioritize traffic streams that it doesn’t otherwise
recognize, based on the behavior that the streams exhibit.
This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer
characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive
traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
Automatic:
WISH Rules:
A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns
a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority
classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules
are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one
rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule with the
highest priority will be used.

Section 3 - Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.
Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from
being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature of the router.
Devices can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi Protected
Setup. However, the settings of the network will not change once
this option is checked.
A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to
an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN
may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security,
a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at
any time. Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change
or reset the PIN.
Shows the current value of the router’s PIN.
Restore the default PIN of the router.
Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the
router’s PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of
the registrar.
This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless
network.
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you
to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by
pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device
has been successfully added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows devices onto the
wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network,
although other devices may act as a registrar as well.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the “Add New
Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing
a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use
are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
