1. Click the

Enable

button to enable this function.

2.

Select the radio button:

Allow the stations specified by any enabled entries in the list to

access

for

Filtering Rules.

3.

Delete all or disable all entries if there are any entries already.

4. Click the

Add New...

button and enter the MAC address 00-0A-EB-00-07-8A

/00-0A-EB-00-23-11 in the

MAC Address

field, then enter wireless station A/B in the

Description

field, while select

Enabled

in the

Status

pull-down list. Finally, click the

Save

and the

Back

button.

The filtering rules that configured should be similar to the following list:



Beacon Interval -

Enter a value between 40-1000 milliseconds for Beacon Interval here.

The beacons are the packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon

Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.



RTS Threshold -

Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the

packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will send RTS frames to

a particular receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value

is 2346.



Fragmentation Threshold -

This value is the maximum size determining whether packets

will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor

network performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is

recommended.



DTIM Interval -

This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication

Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for

listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast

or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval

value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The default value is 1,

which indicates the DTIM Interval is the same as Beacon Interval.



Enable WMM - WMM

function can guarantee the packets with high- priority messages

being transmitted preferentially. It is strongly recommended enabled.



Enable Short GI -

This function is recommended for it will increase the data capacity by

reducing the guard interval time

.



Enabled AP Isolation -

This function can isolate wireless stations on your network from

each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not with each

other. To use this function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.



Note:

If you are not familiar with the setting items on this page, it's strongly recommended to keep the

provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.

DHCP Settings



DHCP Server - Enable

or

Disable

the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must

have another DHCP server within your network or else you must configure the computer

manually.



Start IP Address -

Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to start with when

assigning IP addresses. 192.168.0.100 is the default start address.



End IP Address -

Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to end with when assigning

IP addresses. 192.168.0.199 is the default end address.



Address Lease Time -

The

Address Lease Time

is the amount of time a network user

will be allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP Address. Enter the

amount of time in minutes and the user will be "leased" this dynamic IP Address. After the

time is up, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The range

of the time is 1 ~ 2880 minutes. The default value is 120 minutes.



Default Gateway -

(Optional) Suggest to input the IP address of the LAN port of the

Router, default value is 192.168.0.254.



Default Domain -

(Optional) Input the domain name of your network.



Primary DNS -

(Optional) Input the DNS IP address provided by your ISP. Or consult your
