DHCP Client List
This is the list of currently connected devices utilising DHCP.
If you wish to set a permanent IP address for a particular DHCP client (or device), select the appropriate DHCP client by clicking in
the "Select" box. This will ensure the clients current IP address is always assigned to it.
DHCP Fixed Mapping
DHCP Fixed Mapping allows you to reserve a specific IP address for a specific device.
The DHCP Server will reserve a specific IP for a device based on that devices unique MAC address.
You can enter a new Fixed Mapping by entering the MAC address of the device and the IP address you wish to allocate to it.
Click on the "Enable" checkbox to activate the DHCP fixed mapping entry.

Wireless
The Wireless LAN settings page allows you to configure the wireless network features of the router.
OPTION
DEFINITION
Wireless Module
Select to enable or disable the Wireless network function of the NP805N.
Network ID (SSID)
Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client stations can roam freely over this product and other Access
Points that have the same Network ID.
(Please refer to the included Wireless Security Card insert for your default SSID)
SSID Broadcast
The router will broadcast the SSID so that wireless clients can find the wireless network.
Channel
The wireless radio channel in use by your network.
Wireless Mode
Choose B/G Mixed, B only, G only, and N only, G/N Mixed or B/G/N mixed.
(The factory default setting is B/G/N mixed)
Authentication
You may select from the following authentication types to secure your wireless network:
Open
Shared
Auto
WPA
WPA-PSK
WPA2
WPA2-PSK
WPA/WPA2
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK is a newer type of security. This type of security gives a more secure network compared to WEP. Use
TKIP Encryption Type for WPA-PSK and AES for WPA2-PSK.
Please enter the key in the “Preshare Key”. The key needs to be more than 8 characters and less than 63 characters. It can be
any combination of letters and numbers.
(Please refer to the included Wireless Security Card insert for your default WPA-PSK2 key)
Please Note: The configuration for WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is identical
After configuring wireless security, you also need to configure your wireless adapter to use the same security settings before you
can connect wirelessly. Not all wireless adapters support WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA/WPA2 security. Please refer to your wireless
adapter user guide for more information.
It is strongly recommended to set up wireless security such as WPA-PSK (when the wireless client supports WPA) in order to
secure your network.

WDS (Wireless Bridging)
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) allows you to connect to other wireless access points (Remote APs), and in doing so extend a
wired infrastructure to locations where cabling is not possible or inefficient to implement.
Enter the MAC address of the other wireless access points taking part in the WDS network
and then click “Save”
.
WPS Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) offers safe and easy way to connect wirelessly.
Simply push the WPS button on the router and then press the WPS on your wireless device within 2 minutes and the WLAN
connection should be completed automatically.
OPTION
DEFINITION
AP PIN
The current PIN used to connect.
Click “Generate New PIN” to
force the router to create a new PIN.
Config Mode
Set the router to be either the Registrar or Enrollee.
Config Status
You can discard the current WPS configuration by clicking “Release”.
Config Method
Set the WPS configuration method to either Push Button or PIN code.
Please note: These settings should not need to be changed.
Wireless Client List
The list of currently connected wireless devices is shown here.

Forwarding Rules
The Forwarding Rules page allows you to configure the port forwarding management on the router. Click on any of the menu items
on the left to access the respective settings page.
Forwarding rules are a necessary feature as by default NAT (Network Address Translation) will automatically block incoming traffic
from the Internet to the LAN unless a specific port mapping exists in the NAT translation table. Because of this, NAT provides a level
of protection for computers that are connected to your LAN.
However this also creates a connectivity problem when you want to make LAN resources available to Internet clients. For example,
to play network games or host network applications.
There are three ways to work around NAT and to enable certain LAN resources available from the Internet:
Port Forwarding (available in the Virtual Server page)
Port Triggering (available in the Special AP page)
DMZ Host (available in the Miscellaneous page)
Virtual Server
A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server
IP.
Virtual Servers can also work with Scheduling Rules, and give you more flexibility on Access control.
Please note: For further instructions on scheduling rules, please refer to
the “Scheduling” section later in this guide
For example, if you have an FTP server (the default port is 21) at 192.168.20.10, a Web server (the default port is 80) at
192.168.20.40, and a VPN server (the default port is 1723) at 192.168.20.60, then you would need to specify the following virtual
server mappings:
Please note: At any given time, only one IP address can bind to a particular Service Port.
SERVICE PORT
SERVER IP
ENABLE
USE RULE#
21
12.168.1.10
(0) Always
80
192.168.20.40
(0) Always
1723
192.168.20.60
(0) Always
