WDS
: Place a check in this box to enable WDS (Wireless Distribution
System). 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
: Specify 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.
Click on the
Apply
button to store these changes.
Advanced Network
In this section you can configure the UPnP, WAN Ping, WAN port speed, multicast
streams, and PPPoE pass-through settings.
°
Enable UPnP
: Place a check in this box to enable 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.
°
Allow Users to disable Internet Access
: Place a check in this box if you
would like to allow to user to terminate the WAN session.
°
Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings
: Place a check in this box
if you would like the users to add, modify, or delete server mapping entries.
°
Enable WAN Ping Respond
: Place a check in this box if you would like this
device to be pinged from the WAN side.
°

WAN Port Speed
: You may select a WAN port speed from the drop-down
list. It is recommended that you select
Auto
.
°
Enable Multicast Streams
: Place a check in this box to enable multicast
streams. The router uses the IGMP protocol to support efficient multicasting -
- transmission of identical content, such as multimedia, from a source to a
number of recipients. This option must be enabled if any applications on the
LAN participate in a multicast group. If you have a multimedia LAN application
that is not receiving content as expected, try enabling this option.
°
Enable PPPoE Pass Through
: Place a check in this box to enable PPPoE
pass-through. This option controls whether LAN computers can act as PPPoE
clients and negotiate the PPP sessions through the router over the WAN
ethernet link. Enabling this option allows LAN computers to act as PPPoE
clients. Disabling this option prevents LAN computers from establishing PPPoE
pass-through connections.
