: Access Point Name.

•

PDP Setting

: PDP address mode. If a fixed IP address is given by your service provider, select

Manual

PDP

. Otherwise select the

Auto PDP

and the router will automatically obtain this parameter.

•

DNS

Manual DNS

. Otherwise,

choose

Auto DNS

, and device will automatically obtain parameters.

•

Authentication

: Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) provides a simple method without encryption

for the peer to establish its identity using a 2-way handshake. Challenge-Handshake Authentication

Protocol (CHAP) is used to periodically verify the identity of the peer using a 3-way handshake.

•

User Name

: User name is used to obtain authentication from the ISP when the connection is established

•

Password

: Password is used to obtain authentication from the ISP when the connection is established.

Select

Settings > Wi-Fi Setting > Basic

, the wireless network basic parameters are shown in the

following figure:

•

Wi-Fi On/Off

:

Enable

Wi-Fi or not.

•

Network Mode

: If all of the wireless devices connect with this router in the same transmission mode,

performance will be improved by choosing the appropriate wireless mode.

•

Network Name(SSID)

: Service Set Identifier (SSID). Enter a string less than 32 characters as the name

for your wireless local area network (WLAN).

•

Broadcast Network Name(SSID)

: Disable or Enable (Default) this function. If

Enable

is selected, the

router broadcasts the SSID, and other devices can detect and connect to it. If

Disable

is selected, the

other devices cannot detect the router. You can only connect to the router by manual setting.

•

AP Isolation

: When

Enabled

is selected, each of your wireless clients will not be able to communicate

with each other. When

Disable

is selected, each of your wireless clients will be able to communicate

with each other.

•

•

Frequency(Channel)

: Choose the appropriate channel to optimize the performance and coverage of

your wireless network.

•

WDS Mode

: WDS mode make the router to communicate with other APs, WDS connection is two-way

communication, APs should know each other

’

s wireless MAC address. And make sure that all APs

share the same SSID and channel.

WDS configuration is shown below:

Step

Description

1.Set the SSID and the same channel for APs

Manually set the SSID and the same channel is strongly

recommended.

2.Select WDS mode: Disable, Lazy Mode, Bridge Mode or

Repeater Mode

·If you select

Disable

, WDS is disabled.

·If you select

Lazy Mode

,

WDS is enabled, and set

wireless MAC address only on the peer APs.

·If you select

Bridge Mode

, WDS is enabled, and set the

peer APs wireless MAC address on router. When you set

Bridge Mode

, your PC can not search SSID of AP after

connected.

·If you select

Repeater Mode

, WDS is enabled, and set

the peer APs wireless MAC address on router. When you

set

Repeater Mode

, your PC can search SSID of AP after

connected.

3.Select

Phy mode

:

CCK,OFDM, HTMIX or GREENFIELD

CCK

: 802.11b

OFDM

: 802.11g

HTMIX

: 802.11b/g/n Mixed Mode

GREENFIELD

: 802.11b/g Mixed Mode

4.Select

Encrypt Type

:

WEP, TKIP, AES

If you select

NONE

, all the data transmitted without

encryption, and other station can access router.

If you select the Encrypt Type, you should set all APs the

same Encrypt type and password to make the data transfer.

5.Set peer AP's wireless MAC address on router

Only

Repeater Mode

and

Bridge Mode

need this.

The HT physical Mode parameters are shown below:

•

Operating Mode

: In

Mixed Mode

, packets are transmitted with a preamble compatible with the legacy

802.11a/g, the rest of the packet has a new format. In

Green Field

, high throughput packets are

transmitted without a legacy compatible part.

•

Channel Bandwidth

: Set the HT physical channel bandwidth.

•

Guard Interval

: Guard interval is to introduce immunity to propagation delays, echoes and reflections,

to which digital data is normally very sensitive.

•

MCS

: The Modulation and Coding Scheme (MCS) is a value that determines the modulation, coding and

number of spatial channels.

•

Reverse Direction Grant(RDG)

: Enable

RDG

or not.

•

Extension Channel

: Set extension channel. Extension channel is also able to send and receive data.

•

Aggregation MSDU(A-MSDU)

:To enable Hyper Throughput TX Aggregate MAC Service Data Unit,

select

Enable.

•

Auto Block ACK

: Select to block ACK (Acknowledge Number) or not during data transferring. When

you enable the WDS function, you should set to enable

Auto block ACK

to preventing the other effect

during data transferring.

•

Decline BA Request

: Select to reject peer BA-Request or not.

Click

Apply

to confirm your configuration.

Advanced

Select

Wi-Fi Setting > Advanced

, the advanced wireless network parameters are shown in the following

figure:

•

Beacon Interval

: The router broadcasts beacon message to announce that it has buffered frames to

deliver. The default value is 100 (ms).Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a

wireless network. Specify a beacon interval value. is recommended.

•

Data Beacon Rate(DTIM)

: A Delivery Traffic Indication Message(DTIM) informs next clients to listen

to broadcast and multicast messages.

•

Fragment Threshold

: This value should remain at its default value of 2346. If you experience a high

packet error rate, you may slightly increase your fragment threshold. Setting the fragment threshold too

low may result in poor performance.

•

RTS Threshold

: Request To Send (RTS) threshold should be remained as the value of 2347. If you

encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended.

•

TX Power

: Transmit power should be remained as the value of 100.

•

Short Preamble

: The length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless communication.

•

Shot Slot

: To indicate that 802.11g is using a shot time slot because there is no legacy station(802.11b)

present.

•

Tx Burst

: Tx burst allows router to deliver better throughput in the same period and environment in

order to increase speed.

•

Pkt_Aggregate

: Increase efficiency by aggregating multiple application packets data into a single

transmission frame. In this way, 802.11n networks can send multiple data packets with the fixed

Page 25 / 39

overhead cost in just a single frame.

Country Code

: Select the region you live.

The Wi-Fi multimedia parameters are shown below:

•

WMM Capable

: When multimedia contents are transferred over wireless network, this function

enhances data transfer performance.

•

APSD Capable

: Automatic Power Save Delivery (APSD),enable or disable data flow using APSD

during transmitting for power saving.

Click

Apply

to confirm your configuration.

Security

Select

Wi-Fi Setting > Security

, the Security parameters are shown in the following figure:

Unless one of these encryption modes is selected, wireless transmissions to and from your wireless

network can be easily intercepted and interpreted by unauthorized users.

The security modes are described below:

•

Open

: You can authenticate successfully with a SSID, whether it is valid or empty.

•

Shared

: The WLAN clients who have the same WEP key with wireless gateway can pass the

authentication and access the wireless network.

•

WEPAUTO

: Select WEP security automatically.

•

WPA-PSK

: WPA Pre-Shared Key, Enter the Pre-Shared key as a plain text (ASCII) pass-phrase of at

least 8 characters.

•

WPA2-PSK

: It is the securer version of WPA with implementation of the 802.11i standard.

•

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

: Apply both the WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK scheme.

If the Authentication type is

Open

,

Shared

,

WEPAUTO,

the bottom part of the configuration page

displays parameters as shown.

•

WEP Keys

: At most four keys can be set in the blank. Choose the primary key index. The primary key is

the only key in use at a given time. Whatever keys you enter for an access point, you must also enter the

same keys for the client adapter in the same order. In other words, WEP key 1 on the AP must match

WEP key 1 on the client adapter, WEP key 2 on the AP must match WEP key 2 on the client adapter,

etc. Select

Hex

if use 10 or 26 hexadecimal numbers (0

～

9, a

～

f or A

～

F). Select

ASCII

if use 5 or 13

ASCII characters (case-sensitive).

If the Authentication type is

WPA-PSK

,

WPA2-PSK

or

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

, the bottom part of

the configuration page displays WPA parameters.
