Setup > MAC Address Clone
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This
feature “clones” your network adapter’s MAC address onto
the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP
to change the registered MAC address to the Router’s
MAC address. The Router’s MAC address is a 12-digit code
assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification.

MAC Address Clone
To use MAC address cloning, select

MAC Clone Address
Enter the MAC Address registered
with your ISP in this field.
Clone My MAC Address
If you want to clone the MAC
address of the PC you are currently using to configure the
Router, then click
Clone My MAC Address
. The Router
will automatically detect your PC’s MAC address, so you
do not have to call your ISP to change the registered MAC
address to the Router’s MAC address. It is recommended
to use the PC registered with the ISP for this operation.

Configuring the Wireless-G Router

Wireless-G VPN Router with RangeBooster
Setup > Advanced Routing
Setup > Advanced Routing
The
Setup  >  Advanced  Routing
screen allows you to
configure the dynamic and static routing settings.
Operation Mode
Select
Gateway
or
Router
from the
drop-down menu. If this Router is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, keep the default,
Gateway
,
which will also enable NAT. If you have a different router
hosting your Internet connection, then select
Router
.
Dynamic Routing
With Dynamic Routing you can enable the Router to
automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s
layout. The Router, using the RIP protocol, determines
the network packets’ route based on the fewest number
of hops between the source and the destination. The RIP
protocol regularly broadcasts routing information to other
routers on the network.
Dynamic Routing (RIP)
To use dynamic routing, click the
Enabled
radio button.
Receive RIP Versions
To use dynamic routing for
reception of network data, select the protocol you want:
RIPv1 or RIPv2.
Transmit RIP Versions
To use dynamic routing for
transmission of network data, select the protocol you
want: RIPv1 or RIPv2.
Static Routing
If the Router is connected to more than one network,
you can config
u
re static routes to direct packets to the
destination network (A static route is a pre-determined
pathway that a packet must travel to reach a specific host
or network.) To create a static route, change the following
settings:
Route Entries
Select the number of the static route from
the drop-down menu. The Router supports up to 5 static
route entries.
Delete This Entry
If you need to delete a route, select its
number from the drop-down menu, and click
Delete This
Entry
.
Enter Router Name
Enter the name of your Router.
LAN IP Address
The LAN IP Address is the address of the
remote network or host to which you want to assign a
static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you
wish to create a static route. If you are building a route to
an entire network, be sure that the network portion of the
IP address is set to 0. For example, the Router’s standard IP
address is 192.168.1.1. Based on this address, the address
of the routed network is 192.168.1, with the last digit
determining the Router’s place on the network. Therefore
you would enter the IP address 192.168.1.0 if you wanted
to route to the Router’s entire network, rather than just to
the Router.
Subnet Mask
The Subnet Mask (also known as the
Network Mask) determines which portion of an IP address
is the network portion, and which portion is the host
portion. Take, for example, a network in which the Subnet
Mask is 255.255.255.0. This determines (by using the values
255) that the first three numbers of a network IP address
identify this particular network, while the last digit (from 1
to 254) identifies the specific host.
Gateway
Enter the IP address of the gateway device that
allows for contact between the Router and the remote
network or host.
Interface
Select
LAN & Wireless
or
Internet
, depending
on the location of the static route’s final destination.
Show Routing Table
Click the
Show Routing Table
button to open a screen displaying how packets are
routed through your local network. For each route, the
Destination LAN IP address, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and
Interface are displayed. Click
Refresh
to update the
information. Click
Close
to exit this screen.

The Wireless tab is used to configure the Router’s wireless
network settings.
Wireless > Basic Wireless Settings
The basic settings for wireless networking are configured
on this screen.

Wireless Network Mode
Wireless 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,
Mixed
. 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
Disable
.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The SSID is the network
name shared among all points 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 points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (linksys-g) to a unique name.
TX Rate Limitation
The rate of data transmission should
be set depending on the speed of your wireless network.
You can select from a range of transmission speeds and
the Router will negotiate the connection speed between
the Router and a wireless client by this rate.
Wireless 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
Disabled
.
WMM
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia) is a component of the IEEE
802.11e wireless LAN standard for quality of service (QoS).
It specifically supports priority tagging and queuing. Click
the
WMM
check box to enable WMM.
Wireless Channel
Select the appropriate channel from
the drop-down menu. All devices in your wireless network
must transmit using the same channel in order to function
correctly. You may need to change the wireless channel to
improve the communication quality.
U-APSD
The Unscheduled Automatic Power Save Delivery
(U-APSD) feature is an enhanced power-save mode. Select
Enable
to allow the Router to enter power-save mode.

Wireless > Wireless Security
The Wireless Security settings configure the security of
your wireless network. There are eight wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA-Personal,
WPA2-Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, WPA2-
Personal-Mixed, WPA2-Enterprise Mixed, RADIUS, and
WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which is a
security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) For
detailed instructions on configuring wireless security for
the Router, turn to “Appendix B: Wireless Security.”
Select SSID
Select the SSID that you want to apply the
wireless security settings to.
Security Mode
Select the appropriate security mode for
your network; all devices on your network must use the
same security mode and settings to work correctly.
Wireless isolation within SSID
This feature is disabled
by default. Wireless PCs that are associated with the same
SSID can see and transfer files between each other. If
you enable this feature, wireless PCs will not be able to
see each other. This is useful when setting up a wireless
hotspot location.
WPA Personal
WPA gives you two encryption methods with dynamic
encryption keys. Select
TKIP
or
AES
from the
Encryption
drop-down menu. Enter a Shared Secret (Pre-Shared Key)
of 8-32 characters. Then enter the Key Renewal period,
which instructs the Router how often it should change the
encryption keys.

. Higher encryption levels offer higher levels of
security, but due to the complexity of the encryption, they
may decrease network performance.
Instead of manually entering WEP keys, you can enter
a Passphrase to generate one or more WEP keys. The
Passphrase is case-sensitive and should have no more
