ATM QoS
: Select CBR to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice or data traffic.
Select UBR for applications that are non-time sensitive, such as e-mail. Select VBR for
burst traffic and bandwidth sharing with other applications.
PCR
: Divide the DSL line rate (bps) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell) to find the Peak Cell
Rate (PCR). This is the maximum rate at which the sender can send cells.
SCR
: The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be
transmitted.
MBS
: Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be
sent at the peak rate. Type the MBS, which is less than 65535

2.4GHz/5GHz WiFi
This section provides the wireless network settings for your router. You can enable and
configure the wireless AP function here.
SSID
: The SSID (up to 32 printable ASCII characters) is the unique name identified in a
WLAN. The ID prevents the unintentional merging of two co-located WLANs.
Channel Width
: Set channel width of wireless radio. Do not modify default value if you
don’t know what it is, default setting is ‘Auto 20/40 MHz’.
Channel Number
: It is the radio channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the
same wireless LAN should use the same channel. Please select the country you are
located and designate a channel that the router will use. If you want to let the router
automatically to find an available channel with the highest signal strength, please select
“Auto”.
When you finish, click ‘Save’
to save the settings made and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.

Security Settings
This router provides complete wireless LAN security functions, include WEP, IEEE 802.1x,
IEEE 802.1x 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.
Encryption
:
You can choose “None” to disable the encryption or select “WEP”,
“WPA(TKIP)”, “WPA2(AES)” or “WPA2 Mixed” mode for security. When “WEP” is enabled,
please click “Set WEP Key” button to choose the default key and
set the four sets of WEP
keys.
WEP
: WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports 64-bit and 128-bit key
lengths to encrypt the wireless data.
WPA(TKIP)
: WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP
utilized a stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to
provide protection against hackers.
WPA2(AES)
: WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES)
for data encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data encryption.
WPA Mixed
: The router supports WPA (TKIP) and WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The
actual selection of the encryption methods will depend on the clients.
Use 802.1x Authentication: IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must
use a valid account to login to this wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The
authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. Check this box to authenticates user by
IEEE 802.1x.
WEP-64Bits
: WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports 64-bit and 128-bit
key lengths to encrypt the wireless data. The longer key length will provide higher
security. W
hen “WEP
-
64Bits” is selected, you have to enter exactly 5 ASCII characters
(“a
-
z” and “0
-
9”) or 10 hexadecimal digits ("0
-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).
WEP-128Bits
:
When “WEP
-
128Bits” is selected, you have to enter exactly 13 ASCII
characters (“a
-
z” and “
0-
9”) or 26 hexadecimal digits ("0
-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).

WPA Authentication Mode
: There are two types of authentication mode for WPA.
Enterprise (RADIUS)
: It uses an external RADIUS server to perform user
authentication. To use RADIUS, enter the IP address of the RADIUS server, the RADIUS
port (default is 1812) and the shared secret from the RADIUS server. Please refer to
“Authentication RADIUS Server” se
tting below for RADIUS setting.
Personal (Pre-Shared Key)
: Pre-Shared Key authentication is based on a shared
secret that is known only by the parties involved. To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, select key
format and enter a password in the “Pre
-
Shared Key Format” and “Pre
-Sha
red Key”
setting respectively.
Pre-Shared Key Format
: You may select to select Passphrase (alphanumeric format) or
Hexadecimal Digits (in the “A
-
F”, “a
-
f” and “0
-
9” range) to be t
he Pre-shared Key. For
example:
Passphra
se: ”iamguest”
Hexadecimal Digits: “12345abcde”
Pre-Shared Key
: Please enter 8-63 chara
cters as the “Pre
-Shared K
ey”.
Authentication RADIUS Server
: Enter the port (default is 1812), the IP address and
the password of external RADIUS server are specified here.
When you finish, click ‘save’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.
Wireless ACL
This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients
from accessing your wireless network.
Active
: Choose to either Enable or Disable the Wireless Access Control
Page 30 / 61
Allow
: Only allow the wireless clients with the MAC Address you have specified can
access to the router.
Deny
: The wireless clients with the MAC Address you have specified will be denied
accessing to the router.
MAC Address
: Enter the MAC Address of the wireless clients for the filtering control.
When you finish, click ‘
Submit
’ to save the settings made and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.
Advanced Wireless
This page allows advanced users who have sufficient knowledge of wireless LAN. These
setting shall not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen for the changes
you made on your router.
Transmit Power
: Set the maximum output power of the router. The higher output
power, the wider the coverage range is.
Beacon Interval
: The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a beacon.
Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. The range for the beacon period is
between 20 and 1024 with a default value of 100 (milliseconds).
RTS/CTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you
encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a
network packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS mechanism
will not be enabled. The wireless router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an
RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the
right to begin transmission.
Fragment Threshold
: Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of packet during
the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in
bad performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.
