Access Point
Activated or deactivated the wireless function of the
router. When it is activated, the router will be an access
point for other wireless clients to connect wirelessly.
Channel
It is the radio channel used by the wireless LAN. All

auto-selective channel will be shown in the “Current
Channel” field.
SSID
The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the
unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the
unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. The
default SSID of the router is “default”.
Beacon Interval
The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a
beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless
network. The range for the beacon period is between 20
and 1000 with a typical value of 100 (milliseconds).
RTS/CTS Threshold
When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold,
the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism
to send this packet. The range is from 1500 to 2347.
Fragmentation
Threshold
Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of
packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted.
If you set this value too low, it will result in bad
performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.
DTIM
Determines the interval the Access Point will send its
broadcast traffic. The range is from 1 to 255 and the
default value is 3 beacons.
802.11b/g/n
802.11 b – This router will only work in 802.11b mode. If
there are only 802.11b wireless clients in the network,
you can set the router to this mode.
802.11 g – This router will only work in 802.11g mode. If
there are only 802.11g wireless clients in the network,
you can set the router to this mode.
802.11 b+g+n – This router will support 802.11b, 802.11g
and 802.11n communications simultaneously. It is

Multiple SSIDs Settings
Parameter
Description
SSID Index
This router can support multiple SSIDs. By default, this
function is disabled. You can only set a set of SSID.
SSID
The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the
unique name identified in a WLAN. The ID prevents the
unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs. The
default SSID of the router is “default”.
Broadcast SSID
Select “Yes” to make the SSID to be visible so wireless
clients can scan the router within the network. Select
“No” if you want to hide the SSID of the router. Wireless
clients have to set the same SSID of the router in order
to access the network.
Authentication Type
To prevent unauthorized wireless clients from accessing
the router, this router supports WEP, WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK authentication type. If the router has enabled
the authentication, all the wireless clients’ settings have
to be consistent with the router for building the
connection.

WEP/WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
Parameter
Description
WEP-64Bits
WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports
64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless
data. The longer key length will provide higher security.
When “WEP-64Bits” is selected, you have to enter
exactly 5 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10
hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits
When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you have to enter
exactly 13 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26
hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
Parameter
Description
WPA-PSK
WPA-PSK is suitable for home and small business. It
uses TKIP or AES for data encryption. When “WPA-PSK”
is selected, please select the encryption method and
enter 8-63 characters as the “Pre-Shared Key”.
WPA2-PSK
WPA2-PSK is also for home and small business. It uses
TKIP or AES for data encryption. WPA2-PSK offers the
highest level of security. When “WPA2-PSK” is selected,
please select the encryption method and enter 8-63
characters as the “Pre-Shared Key”.
