Note:
1)
If you select the radio button
Deny the stations specified by any enabled entries in the list
to access
for
Filtering Rules,
the wireless station B will still not be able to access the router,
however, other wireless stations that are not in the list will be able to access the router.
2) If you enable the function and select the
Allow the stations specified by any enabled
entries in the list to access
for
Filtering Rules,
and there are not any enable entries in the
list, thus, no wireless stations can access the router.
4.7.4 Wireless Advanced
Selecting
Wireless
>
Wireless Advanced
will allow you to do some advanced settings for the
device in the following screen as shown in Figure 4-11. As the configuration for each operation
mode is almost the same, we take Access Point mode for example here.
Figure 4-11 Wireless Advanced
Antenna Settings -
The polarization of an antenna. You can select Vertical Antenna,
Horizontal Antenna or External Antenna.
Beacon Interval -
The beacons are the packets sent by the Device to synchronize a wireless
network. Beacon Interval value determines the time interval of the beacons. You can specify
a value between 20-1000 milliseconds. 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 Device 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). 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.

Enable AP Isolation -
Isolate all connected wireless stations so that wireless stations cannot
access each other through WLAN. This function will be disabled if WDS/Bridge is enabled.
Note:
If you are not familiar with the setting items in this page, it's strongly recommended to keep the
provided default values; otherwise it may result in lower wireless network performance.
4.7.5 Antenna Alignment
Selecting
Wireless
>
Antenna Alignment
will allow you to view how remote AP’s signal strength
changes while changing the antenna’s direction.
Figure 4-12 Antenna Alignment
Remote RSSI
-
Remote AP's signal strength value.
Signal Percent
-
The ratio of RSSI to RSSI RANGE in percentage.
RSSI Range
-
You can drag the slider bar to set or input the RSSI RANGE value. The slider
bar allows the range of the meter to be either increased or reduced. If the range is reduced,
the color change will be more sensitive to signal fluctuations. The slider bar actually changes
an offset of the maximum indicator value scale.
Note:
It only works after you have established connection to remote AP under client mode.
4.7.6 Distance Setting
Selecting
Wireless
>
Distance Setting
will allow you to adjust the wireless range in outdoor
conditions as shown in Figure 4-13. This is a critical feature required for stabilizing outdoor links.
Enter the distance of your wireless link and the software will optimize the frame ACK timeout
value automatically.
Figure 4-13 Distance Setting
Distance -
Specify the distance value in kilometers, accurate to the first decimal place. If the
distance is set too short or too long, it will result poor connection and throughput performance,
it is best to set the value at 110% of the real distance. If the AP is being used in an indoor
setting, please use the indoor option.
Note:
One hundred-meter is the smallest unit of this setting.

DHCP
DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP Server will automatically
assign dynamic IP addresses to the computers on the network. This protocol simplifies network
management and allows new wireless devices to receive IP addresses automatically without the
need to manually assign new IP addresses.
There are three submenus under the DHCP menu (shown as Figure 4-16):
DHCP Settings
,
DHCP Clients List
and
Address Reservation
.
Clicking any of them will enable you to configure
the corresponding function. The detailed explanations for each submenu are provided below.
Figure 4-16 The DHCP menu
4.8.1 DHCP Settings
Selecting
DHCP
>
DHCP Settings
will enable you to set up the AP as a DHCP (Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol) server, which provides the TCP/IP configuration for all the PCs that are
connected to the system on the LAN. The DHCP Server can be configured on the page (shown as
Figure 4-17).
Figure 4-17 DHCP Settings

DHCP server on your AP. The default setting is
Disable
. If you disable the Server, you must
have another DHCP server within your network or else you must manually configure the
computer.
Start IP Address -
This field specifies the first address in the IP Address pool. 192.168.0.100
is the default start IP address.
End IP Address
- This field specifies the last address in the IP Address pool. 192.168.0.199
is the default end IP address.
Address Lease Time -
Enter the amount of time for the PC to connect to the AP with its
current assigned dynamic IP address. The time is measured in minutes. After the time is up,
the PC 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) -
Enter the IP address of the gateway for your LAN. The factory
default setting is 0.0.0.0.
Default Domain (optional) -
Enter the domain name of the your DHCP server. You can
leave the field blank.
Primary DNS (optional) -
Enter the DNS IP address provided by your ISP. Consult your ISP
if you don’t know the DNS value. The factory default setting is 0.0.0.0.
Secondary DNS (optional) -
Enter the IP address of another DNS server if your ISP
provides two DNS servers. The factory default setting is 0.0.0.0.
Click
Save
to save the changes.
Note:
To use the DHCP server function of the device, you should configure all computers in the LAN as
"Obtain an IP Address automatically" mode. This function will not take effect until the device
reboots.
4.8.2 DHCP Clients List
Selecting
DHCP
>
DHCP Clients List
will enable you to view the Client Name
