Wake by

Two types provide for you to wake up the binded IP. If you

choose Wake by MAC Address, you have to type the correct

MAC address of the host in MAC Address boxes. If you choose

Wake by IP Address, you have to choose the correct IP address.

IP Address

The IP addresses that have been configured in

LAN>>Bind IP

to MAC

will be shown in this drop down list. Choose the IP

address from the drop down list that you want to wake up.

MAC Address

Type any one of the MAC address of the binded PCs.

Wake Up

Click this button to wake up the selected IP. See the following

figure. The result will be shown on the box.

3.6 Wireless LAN

This function is used for “n” models.

3.6.1 Basic Concepts

Over recent years, the market for wireless communications has enjoyed tremendous growth.

Wireless technology now reaches or is capable of reaching virtually every location on the

surface of the earth. Hundreds of millions of people exchange information every day via

wireless communication products. The Vigor “n” model, a.k.a. Vigor wireless router, is

designed for maximum flexibility and efficiency of a small office/home. Any authorized staff

can bring a built-in WLAN client PDA or notebook into a meeting room for conference

without laying a clot of LAN cable or drilling holes everywhere. Wireless LAN enables high

mobility so WLAN users can simultaneously access all LAN facilities just like on a wired

LAN as well as Internet access

The Vigor wireless routers are equipped with a wireless LAN interface compliant with the

standard IEEE 802.11n draft 2 protocol. To boost its performance further, the Vigor Router is

also loaded with advanced wireless technology to lift up data rate up to 300 Mbps*. Hence,

you can finally smoothly enjoy stream music and video.

Note

:

*

The actual data throughput will vary according to the network conditions and

environmental factors, including volume of network traffic, network overhead and

building materials.

In an Infrastructure Mode of wireless network, Vigor wireless router plays a role as an Access

Point (AP) connecting to lots of wireless clients or Stations (STA). All the STAs will share the

same Internet connection via Vigor wireless router. The

General Settings

will set up the

information of this wireless network, including its SSID as identification, located channel etc.

Security Overview

Real-time Hardware Encryption:

Vigor Router is equipped with a hardware AES encryption

engine so it can apply the highest protection to your data without influencing user experience.

Complete Security Standard Selection:

To ensure the security and privacy of your wireless

communication, we provide several prevailing standards on market.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a legacy method to encrypt each frame transmitted via

radio using either a 64-bit or 128-bit key. Usually access point will preset a set of four keys

and it will communicate with each station using only one out of the four keys.

WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access), the most dominating security mechanism in industry, is

separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and

WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.

In WPA-Personal, a pre-defined key is used for encryption during data transmission. WPA

applies Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption while WPA2 applies AES.

The WPA-Enterprise combines not only encryption but also authentication.

Since WEP has been proved vulnerable, you may consider using WPA for the most secure

connection. You should select the appropriate security mechanism according to your needs.

No matter which security suite you select, they all will enhance the over-the-air data

protection and /or privacy on your wireless network. The Vigor wireless router is very flexible

and can support multiple secure connections with both WEP and WPA at the same time.

Below shows the menu items for Wireless LAN.

3.6.2 General Setup

By clicking the

General Setup

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

SSIDs and the wireless channel.

Please refer to the following figure for more information.

Enable Wireless LAN

Check the box to enable the wireless function.

SSID Broadcast

Choose

Show

to make the SSID being seen by wireless clients.

Choose

Hide

to prevent from wireless sniffing and make it

harder for unauthorized clients or STAs to join your wireless

LAN.

SSID

It 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

Check this box to make the wireless clients (stations) with

the same SSID not accessing for each other.

Wireless Mode

Choose the wireless mode for this router. At present, only

802.11B/B/N mix is available.

Channel

It means the channel of frequency of the wireless LAN. The

default channel is 11. 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.

Tx Power

Set the power percentage for transmission signal of access point.

The greater the value is, the higher intensity of the signal will

be.

Enable Green AP

Such function is used to reduce the power consumption (Green

AP) for the access point. When there is no station connected,

the power consumption of access point will be reduced.

Encryption

Select an appropriate encryption mode to improve the security

and privacy of your wireless data packets.

Each encryption mode will bring out different web page and ask

you to offer additional configuration.

Wireless Security Configuration

For the security of your system, choose the proper encryption for data transmission. Different

encryption mode will bring out different setting encryption ways.

z

None

The encryption mechanism is turned off.

z

WEP

Accepts only WEP clients and the encryption key should be entered in WEP Key.

Default Key

All wireless devices must support the same WEP

encryption bit size and have the same key.

Key1-Key4

Four keys

can be entered here, but only one key can be

selected at a time. The format of WEP Key is restricted to

5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal values in 64-bit

encryption level, or restricted to 13 ASCII characters or 26

hexadecimal values in 128-bit encryption level. The

allowed content is the ASCII characters from 33(!) to

126(~) except '#' and ',' .

Authentication Mode

Choose

OPEN

or

SHARED

as the authentication mode.

OPEN: Set wireless to authentication open mode.

SHARED: Set wireless to authentication shared mode.

z

WPA-PSK

Accepts only WPA clients and the encryption key should be entered in PSK. 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.

WPA Mode

Select WPA, WPA2 or Auto as the type.

WPA Algorithm

Select TKIP, AES or auto as the algorithm for WPA.

WPA Pre-Shared Key

Either

8~63

ASCII characters, such as 012345678..(or 64

Hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as

"0x321253abcde...").

z

WPA-RADIUS

The built-in RADIUS client feature enables the router to assist the remote dial-in user or

a wireless station and the RADIUS server in performing mutual authentication. It enables

centralized remote access authentication for network management.
