WEP
WEP is a basic encryption method offering two levels of encryption; 128-bit is stronger than 40/64-bit encryption.
Encryption
. Select the appropriate level of encryption,
40/64-bit (10 hex digits)
or
128-bit (26 hex digits)
.
Passphrase
. To automatically generate keys, enter your passphrase. Then click the
Generate
button.
Key 1-4
. If you want to manually enter the WEP keys, then enter them in the
Key 1-4
fields.
TX Key
. To indicate which WEP key to use, select a transmit key number.

Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The WIRELESS Tab - WIRELESS MAC FILTER
Wireless access can be filtered by using the MAC addresses of the wireless devices transmitting within your
network’s radius.
Wireless MAC Filter
To filter wireless users by MAC Address, either permitting or blocking access, click
Enable
. If you do not wish to
filter users by MAC Address, select
Disable
.
Access Restrictions
Prevent
. Click this button to block wireless access from the devices listed on this screen.
Permit
. Click this button to allow wireless access by the devices listed on this screen.
MAC Address Filter List
Click the
Wireless Client List
button to display the Wireless Client List. It shows computers and other devices on
the wireless network. The list is shown by MAC Address. Enter the MAC addresses of the devices whose wireless
access you want to block or allow. When you have finished making changes to the
Wireless Client List
, click
SAVE

The WIRELESS Tab - ADVANCED WIRELESS SETTINGS
Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The WIRELESS Tab - ADVANCED WIRELESS SETTINGS
These settings should only be adjusted by an expert administrator as incorrect settings can reduce wireless
performance.
Advanced Wireless Setting
Transmission Rate
. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless
network. Select from a range of transmission speeds, or select
Auto
to have the Router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the Router and a wireless client. The default setting is
Auto
.
CTS Protection Mode
. CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode’s allows the Router to automatically use this Mode
when your Wireless-N and Wireless-G products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit to
the Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b traffic. This function boosts the Router’s ability to catch all
Wireless-N and Wireless-G transmissions but severely decreases performance. The default setting is
Auto
.
Beacon Interval
. This value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon which is a packet broadcast by the
Router to synchronize the wireless network. Enter a value between a-65535 mscs.The default value is
100 msc
.
DTIM Interval
. This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is
a countdown field informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When
the Router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and multicast messages.
The value can be between 1 and 255 The default value is
1
.
Fragmentation Threshold
. This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into
multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, a slight increase should help. Too low a setting may
result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the default value is recommended. The value can be
between 256 and 2346. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of
2346
.
RTS Threshold
. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, is
recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will
not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates
the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS)
frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. In most cases, keep its default value of
2346
.
Network Density
. Adjust the density allowed on the network. The default is
Low
.

The WIRELESS Tab - QoS
Wireless-N Gigabit Gaming Router
The WIRELESS Tab - QoS
Wireless QoS allows the router to give priority to certain types of wireless network traffic.
QoS
To enable Wireless QoS, click
Enable
.
If you do not wish to use Wireless QoS, select
Disabled
.
Priority Classifiers
HTTP
: Allows the router to recognize HTTP traffic that contains common audio and video types.
The router will
give higher priority to these types of traffic when they are detected.
To enable HTTP classification, select
Enable
.
Windows Media Center
:
Allows the router to recognize audio and video traffic generated by Windows Media
Center PC.
The router will give higher priority to these types of traffic when they are detected.
To enable
Windows Media Center classification, select
Enable
.
Automatic
:
Allows the router to automatically classify and prioritize all other types of wireless traffic.
If will give
lower priority to traffic it detects as bulk (i.e., printing, email send/receive, etc.), and give higher priority to real-
time traffic (i.e., VoIP, streaming video, etc.).
Add/Edit Wireless QoS Rules
Name
:
Enter a name for the Wireless QoS rule.
You should choose a name that identifies with the rule created,
i.e. Online Game, VoIP, Video, etc.
Priority
: Choose the priority you would like to apply to your rule.
The available options from lowest priority to
highest priority are:
Background (BK):
These are bulk traffic such as a print job, email send/receive, etc.
Best Effort (BE):
These are regular Internet traffic, such as web surfing, FTP downloads, etc.
Video (VI):
Streaming video traffic that needs higher priority to ensure a smooth video.
Voice (VO):
Voice traffic that will be given the highest priority.
Host Internal IP Range
: Select the IP range of the devices this rule will apply to.
If the rule only applies to one
device, enter the same IP for both the
From
and
To
field.
