4.3.1.2 Wireless
Mode:
802.11b + g (Mixed mode), 802.11b and 802.11g. The factory default is 802.11b +
g.
ESSID:
Enter the unique ID given to the Access Point (AP), which is already built-in to the
router’s wireless interface. To connect to this device, your wireless clients must have the
same ESSID as the device.
Regulation Domain:
There are five Regulation Domains for you to choose from,
including
North America (N.America)
,
Europe
,
France
, etc. The Channel ID will be
different based on this setting.
Channel ID:
Select the ID channel that you would like to use.
MAC Address:
The AP’s MAC Address
AP Version:
The Access Point firmware version.
WDS Service:
~
Disable:
Any client that using the “any” setting cannot discover the Access Point (AP) in
question.
~
Enable:
Any client that using the “any” setting can discover the Access Point (AP) in
question.
Wireless Distribution System (WDS)
It is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and communication with other
access point.
It is easy to be installed simply define peer’s MAC address of the connected
AP. WDS takes advantages of cost saving and flexibility which no extra wireless client

device is required to bridge between two access points and extending an existing wired or
wireless infrastructure network to create a larger network.
In addition, WDS enhances its link connection security in WEP mode, WEP key encryption
must be the same for both access points.
WDS Service:
The default setting is
Disable.
Check
Enable
radio button to activate this
function.
Peer WDS MAC Address:
It is the associated AP’s MAC Address.
It is important that
your peer’s AP must include your MAC address in order to acknowledge and communicate
with each other.
(
Note
: For MAC Address, Semicolon (
:
) must be included)
4.3.1.3 Wireless Security
You can disable or enable with WPA or WEP for protecting wireless network.
The default mode of wireless security is
disabled
.
WPA Pre-Shared Key
WPA Algorithms:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) utilizes a stronger encryption
method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against
hackers.
WPA Shared Key:
The key for
network authentication
.
The input format is in character
style and key size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters.
Group Key Renewal:
The period of renewal time for changing the security key
automatically between wireless client and Access Point (AP).
Hide ESSID:
User can select Enable or Disable to hide ESSID.

WPA2 Pre-Shared Key
WPA2 Algorithms:
TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) utilizes a stronger encryption
method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against
hackers.
WPA2 Shared Key:
The key for
network authentication
.
The input format is in character
style and key size should be in the range between 8 and 63 characters.
Group Key Renewal:
The period of renewal time for changing the security key
automatically between wireless client and Access Point (AP).
WEP
WEP Encryption:
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data
transmitted over the network, the router offers highly secure data encryption, known as WEP.
If you require high security for transmissions, there are two alternatives to select from:
WEP
64 and WEP 128
. WEP 128 will offer increased security over WEP 64.

Passphrase:
This is used to generate WEP keys automatically based upon the input
string and a pre-defined algorithm in WEP64 or WEP128. You can input the same string in
both the AP and Client card settings to generate the same WEP keys. Please note that you
do not have to enter
Key (1-4)
as below when the
Passphrase
is enabled..
Key (1-4):
Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission,
the WEP Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router.
There are four keys for your selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes
are required for WEP64 and WEP128 respectively. For example, using WEP64,
1122334455 is a valid key.
Hide ESSID:
User can select Enable or Disable to hide ESSID.
4.3.1.4 DHCP Server
You can disable or enable the DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server or
enable the router’s DHCP relay functions. The DHCP protocol allows your router to
dynamically assign IP addresses to PCs on your network if they are configured to obtain IP
addresses automatically.
To disable the router’s DHCP Server, check
Disabled
and click
Next
then click
Apply.
When the DHCP Server is disabled you need to manually assign a fixed IP address to each
Page 40 / 95
38
PC on your network, and set the default gateway for each PC to the IP address of the router
To configure the router’s DHCP Server, check
DHCP Server
and
click
Next
. You can then
configure parameters of the DHCP Server including the IP pool (starting IP address and
ending IP address to be allocated to PCs on your network), lease time for each assigned IP
address (the period of time the IP address assigned will be valid), DNS IP address and the
gateway IP address. These details are sent to the DHCP client (i.e. your PC) when it
requests an IP address from the DHCP server. Click
Apply
to enable this function. If you
check “
Use Router as a DNS Server
”, the ADSL Router performs the domain name lookup,
finds the IP address from the outside network automatically and forwards it back to the
requesting PC in the LAN (your Local Area Network).
