2-6 Wired LAN Configuration
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers connect to this router’s LAN port
1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate with each other and access internet, they must have a valid IP
address.
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every
computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers will be assigned by router
automatically. It’s recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will save a lot of time on
setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot of computers in your network; for
servers and network devices which will provide services to other computer and users that come from Internet,
static IP address should be used, so other computes can locate the server.
Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your network, here
are some suggestions.
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1 and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients, so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0 and 254 for field ‘c’.
2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask, which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s capability of working with up to 253 clients).
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide services to other people (like Internet service, print service, and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.
4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

2-7-3 Wireless Security
It’s very important to set wireless security settings properly! If you don’t, hackers and malicious users
can reach your network and valuable data without your consent and this will cause serious security problem.
To set wireless security settings, Please click ‘Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interface, then
click ‘Security Settings’, then follow the following instructions to set wireless security settings:
Please select an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu, there are four options:
2-7-3-1 Disable wireless security
When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless device in proximity will be able to
connect your wireless router if no other security measure is enabled (like MAC address access control - see
section 2-7-4, or disable ESSID broadcast).
Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use your wireless router, and you don’t care if there’s someone reads the data you transfer over network without your co nsent.
2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy
When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption, and the following setup menu will be

Key Length (2): There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 1 28-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer
than ’64-bit’, but will reduce some data transfer perform ance.
Key Format (3): There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex. When you select a key format,
the number of characters of key will be displayed. For example, if you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key format, you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means the length of WEP key is 10 characters.
Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP ke y, and you can decide which key is being
used by default here. If you don’t know which one you should use, select ‘Key
1’.
Encryption Key Input WEP key characters here, the number of 1 to 4 (5-8): characters must be the same as the number displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You
can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select ‘Hex’ as key format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption key here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they should not be sam e with each other.

TIPS: Some examples of WEP key (Don’t use those examples; use the one of your own!):
ASCII (5 characters): pilot phone 23561 2Hyux #@xmL ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY 82Jh26xHy3m&n Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732 1152dabc85 Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84
To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found in a dictionary or too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ and ‘phone’ listed above are bad examples; just intended to show you how a WEP key look like). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to use complicated WEP key to improve security level.

2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network
Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your wireless network:
1. Do not use 100% radio output power unless it’s necessary; higher output power means border wireless
coverage, but if you’re not using this wireless router in a really big space, you’ll let your neighbors have
the chance to do something bad to your network. If the wireless router is not far away from your computer,
try to start from 10% Tx Power setting in ‘Advance Settings’ menu, and only raise the Tx Power setting
when it’s required.
2. Never use simple words (like school, apple, computer) as WEP encryption or WPA passphrase.
3. A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol, and long enough) WEP key and WPA
passphrase is much safer than simple and short ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable to
keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key or passphrase once.
It’s not too trouble but will greatly improve security level.
4. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’ option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless router
will not be found by other people in proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of their wireless
client, and this can reduce the chance of being intruded.
5. Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those people who are not in your list will not
be able to connect to your network.

3-1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the internet bandwidth with
a promised quality of internet service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete
with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like
video streaming and network telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like the
interruption of video / audio transfer.
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific
computer, to avoid said unpleasing result from happening.
