(11b+11g), Mixed (11a+11n), Mixed (11g+11n), and Mixed

(11b+11g+11n) stations simultaneously. Simply choose Mix

(11b+11g+11n) mode.

In which, 802.11b/g operates on 2.4G band, 802.11a operates on

5G band, and 802.11n operates on either 2.4G or 5G band.

Index(1-15)

Set the wireless LAN to work at certain time interval only. You

may choose up to 4 schedules out of the 15 schedules

pre-defined in

Applications >> Schedule

setup. The default

setting of this field is blank and the function will always work.

Hide SSID

Check it to prevent from wireless sniffing and make it harder for

unauthorized clients or STAs to join your wireless LAN.

Depending on the wireless utility, the user may only see the

information except SSID or just cannot see any thing about

Vigor wireless router while site surveying. The system allows

you to set four sets of SSID for different usage. In default, the

first set of SSID will be enabled. You can hide it for your

necessity.

SSID

Means the identification of the wireless LAN. SSID can be any

text numbers or various special characters. The default SSID is

"DrayTek”. We suggest you to change it.

Isolate

LAN

– Check this box to make the wireless clients

(stations) with the same SSID cannot access wired PCs on

LAN.

Member

–Check this box to make the wireless clients

(stations) with the same SSID not accessing for each other.

Channel

Means the channel of frequency of the wireless LAN. The

default channel is 6. You may switch channel if the selected

channel is under serious interference. If you have no idea of

choosing the frequency, please select Auto to let system

determine for you.

Long Preamble

This option is to define the length of the sync field in an 802.11

packet. Most modern wireless network uses short preamble with

56 bit sync field instead of long preamble with 128 bit sync

field. However, some original 11b wireless network devices

only support long preamble. Check it to use

Long Preamble

if

needed to communicate with this kind of devices.

Packet-OVERDRIVE

This feature can enhance the performance in data transmission

about 40%* more (by checking

Tx Burs

t). It is active only

when both sides of Access Point and Station (in wireless client)

invoke this function at the same time. That is, the wireless client

must support this feature and invoke the function, too.

Note:

Vigor N61 wireless adapter supports this function.

Therefore, you can use and install it into your PC for matching

with Packet-OVERDRIVE (refer to the following picture of

Vigor N61 wireless utility window, choose

Enable

for

TxBURST

on the tab of

Option

).

Note:

* means the real transmission rate depends on the

environment of the network.

Rate Control

It controls the data transmission rate through wireless

connection.

Upload

– Check Enable and type the transmitting rate for data

upload. Default value is 30,000 kbps.

Download

– Type the transmitting rate for data download.

Default value is 30,000 kbps.

After configuring the correct settings, please click

OK

to save and invoke it.

The default security mode is

Mixed (WPA+WPA2)/PSK.

Default Pre-Shared Key (PSK) is

provided and stated on the label pasted on the bottom of the router. For the wireless client who

wants to access into Internet through such router, please input the default PSK value for

connection.

By clicking the

Security Settings

, a new web page will appear so that you could configure the

Note:

You should also set

RADIUS Server

simultaneously if

802.1x mode is selected.

Disable

- Turn off the encryption mechanism.

WEP-

Accepts only WEP clients and the encryption key should

be entered in WEP Key.

WEP/802.1x Only -

Accepts only WEP clients and the

encryption key is obtained dynamically from RADIUS server

with 802.1X protocol.

WPA/802.1x Only-

Accepts only WPA clients and the

encryption key is obtained dynamically from RADIUS server

with 802.1X protocol.

WPA2/802.1x Only-

Accepts only WPA2 clients and the

encryption key is obtained dynamically from RADIUS server

with 802.1X protocol.

Mixed (WPA+WPA2/802.1x only) -

Accepts WPA and WPA2

clients simultaneously and the encryption key is obtained

dynamically from RADIUS server with 802.1X protocol.

WPA/PSK-

Accepts only WPA clients and the encryption key

should be entered in PSK.

WPA2/PSK-

Accepts only WPA2 clients and the encryption key

should be entered in PSK.

Mixed (WPA+ WPA2)/PSK -

Accepts WPA and WPA2 clients

simultaneously and the encryption key should be entered in

PSK.

WPA

The WPA encrypts each frame transmitted from the radio using

the key, which either PSK (Pre-Shared Key) entered manually

in this field below or automatically negotiated via 802.1x

authentication. Either

8~63

ASCII characters, such as

012345678(or 64 Hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as

"0x321253abcde...").

Type

- Select from Mixed (WPA+WPA2) or WPA2 only.

Pre-Shared Key (PSK)

- Either

8~63

ASCII characters, such as

012345678..(or 64 Hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as

"0x321253abcde...").

WEP

64-Bit

-

For 64 bits WEP key, either

5

ASCII characters, such

as 12345 (or 10 hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x, such as

Page 275 / 357

0x4142434445.)

128-Bit

For 128 bits WEP key, either

13

ASCII characters,

such as ABCDEFGHIJKLM (or 26 hexadecimal digits leading

by 0x, such as 0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D).

All wireless devices must support the same WEP encryption bit

size and have the same key.

Four keys

can be entered here, but

only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered

in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Check the key you wish to use.

4.13.4 Access Control

In the

Access Control

, the router may restrict wireless access to certain wireless clients only

by locking their MAC address into a black or white list. The user may block wireless clients

by inserting their MAC addresses into a black list, or only let them be able to connect by

inserting their MAC addresses into a white list.

In the

Access Control

web page, users may configure the

white/black

list modes used by

each SSID and the MAC addresses applied to their lists.

Enable Mac Address

Filter

Select to enable the MAC Address filter for wireless LAN

identified with SSID 1 to 4 respectively. All the clients

(expressed by MAC addresses) listed in the box can be grouped

under different wireless LAN. For example, they can be grouped

under SSID 1 and SSID 2 at the same time if you check SSID 1

and SSID 2.

MAC Address Filter

Display all MAC addresses that are edited before.
