preamble 192 microseconds. However, using a short preamble is not supported
using 802.11b legacy devices, in some cases cause wireless interoperability
issues, and increase the error rate in some installations. The preamble is the
info. sent from the wireless transmitter to the receiver indicating when data is
incoming.
Short Slot
: Short Slot Override defines the amount of time a device waits after
a data frame collision before retransmitting the data. Reducing the time from
20 microseconds (standard) to 9 microseconds can potentially increase
throughput however, can also increase the error rate.
20/40 Coexistence
(2.4GHz only)
: 20/40 MHz Coexistence allows for the auto-
fallback from 40MHz to 20MHz channel width operation when neighboring
802.11 wireless networks are detected.
Guard Interval:
Using a short (400ns) guard interval can increase throughput.
However, it can also increase error rate in some installations, due to increased
sensitivity to radio-frequency reflections.
MCS –
Allows you to lock down the wireless transmission rate.
Extension channel –
Allows you to assign either the upper or lower extension
channels to use for channel bonding when establishing connectivity at the
higher channel widths 40MHz and 80MHz.
A-MPDU:
Using Aggregate Multiple Protocol Data Unit will allow the all frames
transmitted to be aggregated into larger size A-MPDU formatted frames before
sending and receiving potentially increasing the overall throughput.

Steps to improve wireless connectivity
There are a number of factors that can impact the range of wireless devices. Follow
these tips to help improve your wireless connectivity:
1.
Keep the number of obstructions to a minimum. Each obstruction can reduce
the range of a wireless device.
Position the wireless devices in a manner that
will minimize the amount of obstructions between them.
a.
For the widest coverage area, install your router near the center of
your home, and near the ceiling, if possible.
b.
Avoid placing the router on or near metal objects (such as file cabinets
and metal furniture), reflective surfaces (such as glass or mirrors), and
masonry walls.
c.
Any obstruction can weaken the wireless signal (even non-metallic
objects), so the fewer obstructions between the router and the
wireless device, the better.
d.
Place the router in a location away from other electronics, motors,
and fluorescent lighting.
e.
Many environmental variables can affect the router’s performance, so
if your wireless signal is weak, place the router in several locations and
test the signal strength to determine the ideal position.
2.
Building materials can have a large impact on your wireless signal. In an indoor
environment, try to position the wireless devices so that the signal passes
through less dense material such as dry wall.
Dense materials like metal, solid
wood, glass or even furniture may block or degrade the signal.
3.
Antenna orientation can also have a large impact on your wireless signal. Use
the wireless adapter’s site survey tool to determine the best antenna
orientation for your wireless devices.
4.
Interference from devices that produce RF (radio frequency) noise can also
impact your signal. Position your wireless devices away from anything that
generates RF noise, such as microwaves, radios and baby monitors.
If possible, upgrade wireless network interfaces (such as wireless cards in computers)
from older wireless standards to 802.11n or 802.11ac. If a wirelessly networked device
uses an older standard, the performance of the entire wireless network may be slower.
If you are still experiencing low or no signal consider repositioning the wireless devices,
installing additional access points or wireless extenders.

IPv6 Settings
Advanced > Setup > IPv6 Settings
IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is a new protocol that significantly increases the
number of available Internet public IP addresses due to the 128-bit IP address structure
versus IPv4 32-bit address structure. In addition, there are several integrated
enhancements compared to the most commonly used and well known IPv4 (Internet
Protocol Version 4) such as:
Integrated IPsec – Better Security
Integrated Quality of Service (QoS) – Lower latency for real-time applications
Higher Efficiency of Routing – Less transmission overhead and smaller routing
tables
Easier configuration of addressing
Note:
In order to use IPv6 Internet connection settings, it is required that your ISP
provide you with the IPv6 service. Please contact your ISP for availability and more
information about the IPv6 service.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page
on page 9).
2. Click on
Advanced
and click on
Setup

Clone a MAC address
Advanced > Setup > WAN Settings
On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control)
address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a
computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already
registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a
new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered
MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC
address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the
modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and
manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.
Note:
For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the
stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are
installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to
your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to
disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the
power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s User Guide/Manual or
contact your ISP.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page
on page 9).
2. Click on
Advanced
and click on
Setup
, then click on
WAN Settings
.
3. In the MAC Address Clone section, click the MAC Clone drop-down list, and select
Enable
. Then click
Clone Your PC’s MAC Address
to copy your computer’s MAC address
in the
MAC Address
field.
Note:
You can also check the DHCP Client List for the MAC addresses of the devices on
your network, see page 28 or refer to your computer or device documentation to find the
MAC address.

Change your router IP address
Advanced > Setup > LAN Settings
In most cases, you do not need to change your router IP address settings. Typically, the
router IP address settings only needs to be changed, if you plan to use another router in
your network with the same IP address settings, if you are connecting your router to an
existing network that is already using the IP address settings your router is using, or if
you are experiencing problems establishing VPN connections to your office network
through your router.
Note:
If you are not encountering any issues or are not faced with one of the cases
described above or similar, it is recommended to keep your router IP address settings as
default.
Default Router IP Address: 192.168.10.1
Default Router Network: 192.168.10.0 / 255.255.255.0
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page
on page 9).
2. Click on
Advanced
and click on
Setup
, then click on
LAN Settings
.
3. In
LAN Interface Setting
section, Enter the router IP address settings.
IP Address:
Enter the new router IP address. (e.g.
192.168.200.1
)
Subnet Mask:
Enter the new router subnet mask.
(e.g.
255.255.255.0
)
Note:
The DHCP address range will change automatically to your new router IP
address settings so you do not have to change the DHCP address range manually
to match your new router IP address settings.
4. To save changes, click
Apply
.
Note:
You will need to access your router management page using your new router IP
address. (e.g. Instead of using the default
your new router IP
address will use the following format using your new IP address
http://(new.ipaddress.here) to access your router management page. You can also use
the default login URL
