3.1.2 IPv6
The growth of the Internet has created a need for more addresses than are possible
with IPv4. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) is a version of the Internet Protocol
(IP) intended to succeed IPv4, which is the protocol currently used to direct almost
all Internet traffic. IPv6 also implements additional features not present in IPv4. It
simplifies aspects of address assignment (stateless address auto-configuration),
network renumbering and router announcements when changing Internet
connectivity providers. This router supports 6 types of IPv6 connection (Static IPv6/
DHCPv6/PPPoE/6 to 4/IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel/6RD). Please ask your ISP of what
types of IPv6 are supported before you proceed with IPv6 setup.

3.1.3 Wireless Settings
Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items.
1. Wireless Module: You can enable or disable wireless function.
2. Wireless Operation Mode: There are different wireless operation modes for
you to configure.
A. AP Router Mode: The device functions as a router and Access Point
simultaneously.
B. AP only Mode: The device functions as a pure access point.
C. WDS Hybrid Mode: The device can support WDS and AP mode
simultaneously.
D. WDS only Mode: The device can provides WDS point-to-point bridging,
A-LINK WNAP4G User Manual
44
and point-to-multipoint bridging for deployment over large area. With the WDS
feature, the WLAN coverage range can be easily extended.
E. Lazy Mode: Lazy mode can auto-learning WDS peers without input other
AP's MAC address. Otherwise, you have to input the peer AP's MAC address
one by one to extend your wireless range.
F. Universal Repeater Mode: Universal Repeater is another technology used
to extend wireless coverage. It provides the function to act as Adapter (client) and
AP at the same time and can use this function to connect to a Root AP and use
AP (SSID name is the same as Root AP) function to service all wireless stations
within its coverage. All the stations within the coverage of this access point can
be bridged to the Root AP.
3. AP Number: Always keep “AP1” as the default.
4. Wireless Schedule: You can limit Wi-Fi functions in a period of time if required.
5. Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN
(WLAN). Client stations can roam freely over this device and other Access Points
that have the same Network ID. (The factory default setting is “default_2.4g”)
6. SSID Broadcast: The router will broadcast beacons that have some
information, including SSID so that wireless clients can know how many AP devices
by scanning the network. Therefore, if this setting is configured as “Disable”, the
wireless clients cannot find the device from beacons.
7. Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the
Regulatory Domain. The factory default setting is as follow: channel 1~11 for North
A-LINK WNAP4G User Manual
45
America. (Channel 1~13 for European (ETSI); channel1~ 14 for Japan).
8. Wireless Mode:Choose “B/G mixed”, “B only”, “G only”, “N only”, “G/N mixed” or “B/G/N mixed”. The factory default setting is “B/G/N mixed”.
9. Authentication mode: You may select one of authentication to secure your
wireless network: Open Shared, Auto, WPA-PSK, WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2, WPAPSK/WPA2-PSK, or WPA /WPA2.
A. Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is
an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the
MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router
containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may
occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router
configuration.
B. Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the
authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared
key is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of
shared key authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN

4.2 QoS (Quality of Service)
Quality of Service (QoS) helps to prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching
special identification marks or headers to incoming packets, QoS determines which
queue the packets enter, based on priority. This is useful when there are certain types of
data you want to give higher priority to, such as voice data packets given higher priority
than Web data packets.
This router provides two types of Cross-layer QoS (support throughout Application/
A-LINK WNAP4G User Manual
68
Transport/ Data link/Network Layers in the network) tools. They are “Smart QoS” and
“User Defined Rule-based QoS” to help you easily configure the QoS that you need.
Please find more details in the later section.
The main goal of QoS is prioritizing incoming data, preventing data loss due to factors
such as jitter, delay and dropping. Another important aspect of QoS is ensuring that
prioritizing one data flow doesn’t interfere with other data flows. QoS can be toggled
Activated and Deactivated. QoS must be activated before you can edit the following
options. When you are done making changes, click on Save to save your changes.
4.2.1 Smart QoS
1. QoS : you can select enable/disable the QoS control
2. QoS Mode : select “Smart-QoS” for your own QoS control
3. Bandwidth of Upstream / Bandwidth of Downstream : you can input the
value of maximize of upstream and downstream bandwidth from your ISP
A-LINK WNAP4G User Manual
69
4. Flexible Bandwidth Management (FBM):
A. When this management is enabled, system will share the bandwidth of those
selected applications to other applications if user do not run those selected
application, for example, If you select Game/ VoIP/ Video 3 applications for
higher priority in your system, then the system will automatically reserve 10% of
bandwidth to other application, and share the rest of bandwidth (100-
10)/3=30% each to Game/VoIP/Video, so if user do not play a game, then the
system will flexible share the 30% of bandwidth to other application.
Example for Smart-QoS with FBM enable : Mr. Wang selects Game/ VoIP/
Video 3 applications for higher priority in his system, the system will automatically
reserve 10% of minimum rate of bandwidth to other application, and share the
rest minimum rate of bandwidth (100-10)/3=30% each to Game/VoIP/Video. If
Mr. Wang’s son plays on-line game in the morning, the total bandwidth will all
reserve to his son. By the evening, when Mr. Wang back home and wants to
watch IPTV, then he will get the same priority with his son, and share the
bandwidth.
B. When this management is disabled, system will allow you to input percentage
of bandwidth manually.

4.3 VLAN
The VLAN function allows you to divide local network into different “virtual LAN”. In some
cases, ISP may need router to support “VLAN tag” for certain kinds of services (e.g.
IPTV) to work properly.
There are four LAN ports with this router, so you can have up to 4 VLAN if required.
Those four LAN ports belong to one VLAN by default. If you want to divide them into
different VLAN, you just need to assign different “VID” for them. If ISP requests a “VLAN
Tag” with your outgoing data, please remember to check the checkbox of “Tx TAG”.
