throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is

transmitted.

•

TX Power

: The transmit power can be set to a bare minimum or maximum

power for better performance or power saving.

•

WMM

: WiFi Multi Media. If enabled this supports QoS for experiencing better

audio, video and voice in applications.

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.

Enable 802.1x Authentication

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to

this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a

RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not

encrypt the data during communication

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.

•

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.

•

Key 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.

•

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.

WPA Pre-shared Key

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.

WPA-Radius

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. Press

Apply

when you are done.

ACL

This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients

from accessing your wireless network.

•

Enable wireless access control

: Enables the wireless access control function

•

Adding an address into the list

: Enter the "MAC Address" and "Comment"

of the wireless station to be added and then click "Add". The wireless station

will now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below. If you are

having any difficulties filling in the fields, just click "Clear" and both "MAC

Address" and "Comment" fields will be cleared.

•

Remove an address from the list

: If you want to remove a MAC address

from the "Current Access Control List ", select the MAC address that you want

to remove in the list and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to remove

all the MAC addresses from the list, just click the "Delete All" button. Click

"Reset" will clear your current selections.

Click

Apply

at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now

configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply to apply the settings and

reboot the device.

WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection between the

wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode

and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless

connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router,

and WPS will do the rest for you.

The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS via PIN

code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a specific button on the

wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to start the WPS mode, and switch

the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply push the WPS button of the wireless

router, or click the ‘Start to Process’ butt

on in the web configuration interface. If you

want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and

switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web

configuration interface of the wireless router.

•

WPS

: Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the

WPS function.

•

WPS Current Status

: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this

wireless router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here.

Otherwise,

you’ll see ‘UnConfigured’.

•

Self-Pin Code

: This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need

this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices.

•

SSID

: This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router.

•

Authentication Mode

: It shows the active authentication mode for the

wireless connection.

•

Passphrase Key

: It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by

the wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information

when using a device which doesn’t support WPS.

•

WPS via Push Button

: Press the button to start the WPS process. The router

will wait for the WPS request from the wireless devices within 2 minutes.

•

WPS via PIN

: You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the

button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from

the wireless device within 2 minutes.
