A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique
piece of hardware for identification. Some ISPs will require
you to register a MAC address in order to access the
Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address
with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have
currently registered with your ISP to the Router with the
MAC Address Clone feature.

Setup > Advanced Routing
This screen is used to set up the Router’s advanced routing
functions. NAT routes the host Router‘s network connection
to the Internet. Dynamic Routing automatically adjusts
how packets travel on your network. Static Routing sets
up a fixed route to another network destination.

Advanced Routing
Operat±ng Mode
Select the mode in which this Router
will function. If this Router is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, select
Gateway
. If another
Router exists on your network, select
Router
. When
Router is chosen,
Dynam±c Rout±ng
will be available as
an option.
Dynamic Routing
RIP
This feature enables the Router to automatically
adjust to physical changes in the network’s layout and
exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The
Router determines the network packets’ route based on
the fewest number of hops between the source and the
destination. This feature is Disabled by default. From the
drop-down menu, you can also select
LAN & W±reless,
which performs dynamic routing over your Ethernet and
wireless networks. You can also select
WAN (Internet)
,
which performs dynamic routing with data coming from
the Internet. Finally, selecting
Both
enables dynamic
routing for both networks, as well as data from the
Internet.
Select set number
To set up a static route between the
Router and another network, select a number from the
Static Routing drop-down list. (A static route is a pre-
determined pathway that network information must travel
to reach a specific host or network.) Enter the information
described below to set up a new static route. (Click the
Delete This Entry button to delete a static route.)
Enter Route Name
Enter a name for the Route here,
using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.
Dest±nat±on LAN IP
The Destination LAN IP is the address
of the remote network or host to which you want to assign
a static route.
Subnet
Mask
The
Subnet
Mask
determines
which
portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network
portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Default Gateway
This is the IP address of the gateway
device that allows for contact between the Router and the
remote network or host.
Interface
This interface tells you whether the Destination
IP Address is on the
LAN & W±reless
(Ethernet and wireless
networks) or the
WAN

Basic Wireless Settings
Wireless Network
The basic settings for wireless networking are set on this
screen.
W±reless Network Mode
From this drop-down menu,
you can select the wireless standards running on your
network. If you have both 802.11g and 802.11b devices
in your network, keep the default setting,
M±xed
. If you
have only 802.11g devices, select
G-Only
. If you have
only 802.11b devices, select
B-Only
. If you do not have
any 802.11g and 802.11b devices in your network, select
D±sable
.
W±reless Network Name (SSID)
The SSID is the network
name shared among all devices in a wireless network.
The SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32
characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (
l±nksys
) to a unique name.
W±reless Channel
Select the channel from the list
provided to correspond with your network settings. All
devices in your wireless network must be broadcast on
the same channel in order to function correctly.
W±reless SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey
the local area for wireless networks to associate with, they
will detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast
the Router’s SSID, keep the default setting,
Enable
. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select
D±sable
.

Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is
a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WPA2
is a more advanced, more secure version of WPA. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, and RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to
“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”
Wireless Security
Security Mode
Select the security method for your wireless network. If
you do not want to use wireless security, keep the default,

If you are using WPA, always remember
that each device in your wireless network MUST
use the same WPA method and shared key, or
else the network will not function properly.

TKIP and AES, with dynamic encryption keys. Select
the type of algorithm,
TKIP
