Device Configuration
•
Green Mode: This mode dynamically adjusts the system's Wi-Fi transmit power
depending on the distance between the router and the client device.
•
Band Steering:
Band steering is a technology that detects whether or not the
wireless client is dual-band capable, and if it is, it will push the client to connect to
the less congested 5GHz network. Please note that the 2.4GH
z and 5GHz SSID’s need
to be identical for this feature to work.
•
Channel: The channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same wireless LAN
should use the same channel.
•
Transmit Power: The transmit power can be set to a bare minimum or maximum
power for better performance or power saving.
•
Mode: Allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You can also
select B+G mode to allow 802.11b and 802.11g clients at the same time. For the
5GHz mode you can set 802.11a, 802.11n, 802.11a/n or 802.11ac mode.
•
HT Mode: Allows you to specify whether the AP should transmit on 20MHz or 40MHz
bandwidth.
•
Data Rate
: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data
packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to
transmit the data packets.
•
Fragmentation Threshold: This feature specifies the maximum size of a packet
during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it
will result in bad performance.
•
RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless
router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.
•
Beacon Interval: This is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a
beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.

•
DTIM Period:
DTIM stands for Delivery traffic indication map or message and is an
additional message added after the normal beacon broadcast by your router or
access point. Depending on the timing set for your router, the
router “buffers”
broadcast and multicast data and lets
clients know when to “wake up” to receive
those data.
•
Preamble Type
: The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility
while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN perform
ance.
•
CTS Protection:
Clear to send (CTS) protection mode is a wireless setting that
ensures clients on a network can connect to an AP when many communication
devices are present.

Interface Configuration
•
ESSID: This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the devices in
the same wireless LAN should have the same SSID.
•
Hide ESSID: Hides the network name (SSID) from being broadcast publicly.
•
Separate Clients: Prevents client-to-client communication on this network.
Security
This router provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE 802.11x,
IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security
functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless
stations use the same security function, and are setup with the same security key.

Disable
When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to use the router.
WEP
When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can
generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them
as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys.
•
Input Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal
Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.
•
Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The
larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be
lower.
•
Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless
network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input
10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as
the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-
9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.
Click Save & Apply at the bottom of the screen to save the above configuration.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA-PSK Mixed
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to
authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP
(AES) to change the encryption key frequently, so the encryption key is not easy to be cracked
by hackers. This is the best security available.
Page 35 / 100
Group Key Update Interval: Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed (3600 is default).
Passphrase: Enter a Wi-Fi password (key/passphrase). The password must be between 8-
63 characters.
WPA-/WPA2-/WPA Mixed-Enterprise
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use an external RADIUS
server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key to encrypt data during
communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently.
Group Key Update Interval: Enter the amount of time before the group key used for
broadcast and multicast data is changed (3600 is default).
RADIUS Server: Enter the IP Address of your RADIUS server.
RADIUS Server Port: Enter the port you are using with your RADIUS server. The default
port is 1812.
RADIUS Secret: Enter the security key.
