Description of 802.1x settings
The following table contains a description of settings on the 802.1x settings page:
Section
Description
802.1X Authentication
The option allows you to configure whether WPA
802.1X wireless authentication is enabled or
disabled on the router.
Select ‘Enable’ to allow 802.1X authentication over
RADIUS. You will also need to set the
‘Authentication’ setting on the WPA page to
‘802.1X’ for the SSID.
Select ‘Disable’ to switch off 802.1X authentication
over RADIUS.
Re-Authentication Period
This field allows you to configure the amount of
time in seconds the 802.1X server will reassign a
session key to a connected client, requiring re-
authentication. This is 30000 seconds by default.
Setting a value of 0 will prevent re-authentication
from occurring.
Quiet Period
This field allows you to configure the amount of
time in seconds that the router will wait between
failed authentication attempts. This is 60 seconds
by default.
Server Type
This is the 802.1x authentication server type.
Currently the only option is RADIUS.
Server IP
This field allows you to configure the IP address of
the RADIUS authentication server for 802.1X. This
may be an internal LAN or external Internet address.

Server Port
This field allows you to configure the connection
port of the RADIUS server. By default the value is
1812, and this is the usual port for a RADIUS server.
Secret Key
This field allows you to configure the secret key
value shared between the RADIUS server and
connecting clients.
NAS-ID
This field allows you to configure the request
identifier of the Network Access Server (NAS).
BANDWIDTH CONTROL
It is possible to control the amount of bandwidth allocated by each of the wireless network
names (SSID’s) on the Bright Box router. This feature is useful if you want to control the
maximum upload and download speeds on a particular SSID – for example you may like to
limit the connection speed of a member of your family who uses SSID2 to 1000kbps (about
1mbps) on download and 512kbps on upload.
This setting is often used in conjunction with multiple SSID’s. See
how to setup multiple
SSID’s
on page 102 for further information.
As Bandwidth Control is a Quality of Service (QoS) feature, you must also enable the ‘QoS
Module Function’ in the Advanced Set-Up > QoS page for the Bandwidth Control to be
applied.
To access the Bandwidth Control page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on Wireless Settings in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Wireless
Settings menu.
4.
Click Bandwidth Control in the left hand navigation menu:

Description of Bandwidth Control settings
The following table describes the settings on the Bandwidth Control page:
Section
Description
Upstream Enable
Check this option to enable Bandwidth Control on
upstream (upload) traffic on the wireless LAN for
SSID1, 2 or 3. You must also enter a value in the
upstream Kbytes/sec field to set the maximum
bandwidth allowed.
Upstream KBytes/sec
This field allows you to configure the maximum
wireless bandwidth value for upstream (upload)
traffic on the wireless LAN for SSID1, 2 or 3.
The value is in Kilobytes per second (and not
Kilobits)
1 Kilobyte per second = 8 Kilobits per second
128 Kilobytes per second = 1 Megabit per second
Downstream Enable
Check this option to enable Bandwidth Control on
downstream (download) traffic on the wireless LAN
for SSID1, 2 or 3. You must also enter a value in the
downstream Kbytes/sec field to set the maximum
bandwidth allowed.
Downstream KBytes/sec
This field allows you to configure the maximum
wireless bandwidth value for downstream
(download) traffic on the wireless LAN for SSID1, 2
or 3.
The value is in Kilobytes per second (and not
Kilobits)
1 Kilobyte per second = 8 Kilobits per second
128 Kilobytes per second = 1 Megabit per second
How to limit the wireless bandwidth on an SSID
If you wish to limit the wireless bandwidth on a particular SSID, follow the steps below. The
example below assumes that you have already set up SSID2 in the Channel and SSID page
(see
how to set up multiple SSID’s
on page 102 for instructions).
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on Wireless Settings in the left hand navigation menu to expand the Wireless
Settings menu.
4.
Click Bandwidth Control in the left hand navigation menu
5.
In the SSID2 row check ‘Enable’ in both the ‘upstream’ and ‘downstream’ fields.
6.
We will limit the upstream to 64 kilobytes (about 0.5 Mbps) – in the SSID2 upstream field
enter a value of 64.
7.
We will limit the downstream to 128 kilobytes (about 1 Mbps) – in the SSID2 downstream
field enter a value of 128:

8.
Click Save Settings:
9.
Now we need to enable the Quality of Service function on the router for the Bandwidth
Control to be applied. In the left hand navigation bar, click QoS:
10.
Set the ‘QoS module function’ option to ‘Enable’ and click Save Settings:
Page 115 / 207

11.
Now establish a connection to your SSID2 wireless network, and the Bandwidth Control
will be applied and your upload and download speeds will be limited.
To disable the Bandwidth Control, simply navigate back to the Bandwidth Control
page, and untick the enable option for both upstream and downstream. You can also apply
Bandwidth Control to only upstream or downstream traffic on any SSID by ticking the
relevant ‘enable’ option for the SSID.
USB FILE SHARING
The Bright Box router is designed to allow ‘plug and play’ functionality for USB hard drives
connected to the router through the ‘Auto Share’ feature. The advanced USB File Sharing
menu gives you extra features such as the ability to add individual user accounts for different
levels of read/write access to the attached drive.
If ‘Auto Share’ is enabled then you should configure your USB settings on the Basic Set-
Up > USB File Sharing page. The Advanced Set-Up > USB File Sharing page should
be used to configure the manual sharing option and multiple users.
To access the advanced USB File Sharing page:
1.
Login to the router’s admin pages.
2.
Click on the Advanced Set-Up tab and click Accept on the ‘Please proceed with
caution’ page.
3.
Click on USB File Sharing in the left hand navigation menu:
