defines the physical layer requirements (channelization, hopping patterns, new values for

current MIB attributes, and other requirements to extend the operation of 802.11 WLANs

to new regulatory domains (countries). The current 802.11 standard defines operation in

only a few regulatory domains (countries). This supplement adds the requirements and

definitions necessary to allow 802.11 WLAN equipment to operate in markets not served

by the current standard. Enable this option if you are operating in one of these "additional

regulatory domains".

Wireless Client Isolation:

Enabling Wireless Client Isolation (also known as L2

Isolation) prevents associated wireless clients from communicating directly with each

other by using low-level (link layer) protocols and without passing through the router.

Multicast To Unicast:

When multiple wireless clients are receiving streaming media,

enabling this option can provide better performance in some cases by transforming each

multicast packet into multiple unicast packets. (Broadcast packets are still sent out as

broadcast packets.) If you experience interoperability problems when the AP is sending

streaming media to some legacy wireless clients, try turning this option off.

WMM Enable:

Enabling WMM can help control latency and jitter when transmitting

multimedia content over a wireless connection.

A-MPDU Aggregation:

Aggregation of wireless packets based on MAC protocol data

units is a technique for maximizing performance. This option should normally remain

enabled.

Short GI:

Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput. However, it can

also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased sensitivity to radio-

frequency reflections. Select the option that works best for your installation.

Frame Bursting:

Selecting this option can increase wireless throughput, but can also

decrease performance of neighboring APs.

Extra Wireless Protection:

Extra protection for neighboring 11b wireless networks.

Turn this option off to reduce the adverse effect of legacy wireless networks on 802.11ng

performance. This option is available only when 802.11 Mode is set to an 11n Only

option. (Refer to the

Basic

→

Wireless

page.)

EV-MAC:

Enable EV-MAC option for superior experience of wireless video streaming.

WDS Enable:

When WDS is enabled, this access point functions as a wireless repeater

and is able to wirelessly communicate with other APs via WDS links. Note that WDS is

incompatible with WPA -- both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is

bidirectional; so this AP must know the MAC Address (creates the WDS link) of the

other AP, and the other AP must have a WDS link back to this AP. Make sure the APs

are configured with same channel number.

WDS AP MAC Address:

Specifies one-half of the WDS link. The other AP must also

have the MAC address of this AP to create the WDS link back to this AP. Enter a MAC

address for each of the other APs that you want to connect with WDS.

3.12

WISH

WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to

enhance your experience of using a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of

different applications.

Enable WISH:

Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to prioritize your traffic.

3.12.1

Priority Classifiers

HTTP:

Allows the router to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and

video streams and prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently

used by digital media players.

Windows Media Center:

Enables the router to recognize certain audio and video

streams generated by a Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize these above

other traffic. Such streams are used by systems known as Windows Media Extenders,

such as the Xbox 360.

Automatic:

When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically attempt to

prioritize traffic streams that it doesn't otherwise recognize, based on the behavior

that the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer

characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming

or VoIP, running at a normal priority.

3.12.2

Add/Edit WISH Rule

A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For

most applications, the priority classifiers ensure the right priorities, and specific

WISH Rules are not required.

WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific

message flow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.

Enable:

Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive.

Name:

Create a name for the rule that is meaningful to you.

Priority:

The priority of the message flow is entered here. Four priorities are

defined:

BK: Background (least urgent).

BE: Best Effort.

VI: Video.

VO: Voice (most urgent).

Protocol:

The protocol used by the messages.

Host 1 IP Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which one computer's

IP address falls within the range set here.

Host 1 Port Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which host 1's port

number is within the range set here.

Host 2 IP Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which the other

computer's IP address falls within the range set here.

Host 2 Port Range:

The rule applies to a flow of messages for which host 2's port

number is within the range set here.

WISH Rules

This section lists the defined WISH Rules. Click the Enable checkbox at the left to

directly activate or de-activate the entry. An entry can be changed by clicking the

Edit icon or can be deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon,

the item is highlighted, and the "Edit WISH Rule" section is activated for editing.

3.13

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

3.13.1

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

Enable:

Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.

Lock Wireless Security Settings:

Locking the wireless security settings prevents the

settings from being changed by any new external registrar using its PIN. Devices can still

be added to the wireless network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup. It is still possible to

change wireless network settings with

Manual Wireless Network Setup

,

Wireless

Network Setup Wizard

, or an existing external WLAN Manager Registrar.

3.13.2

PIN Settings

A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to

create a new network. The default PIN may be printed on the bottom of the router. For

extra security, a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at any time.

Only the Administrator ("admin" account) can change or reset the PIN.

Current PIN:

Shows the current value of the router's PIN.

Reset PIN to Default:

Restore the default PIN of the router.

Generate New PIN:

Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the

router's PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of the registrar.

3.14

Advanced Network

This section contains advanced network options.

3.14.1

UPnP

UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that

provides compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This

router has optional UPnP capability, and can work with other UPnP devices and

software.

Enable UPnP:

If you need to use the

UPnP

functionality, you can enable it here.

Allow Users to disable Internet Access:

Allow Users to disable Internet Access

Disabling this option prevents UPnP clients from terminating the WAN connection.
