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.

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

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 environments.

C. Auto

The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.

D. WPA-PSK

Select Encryption and Pre-share Key Mode If you select HEX, you have to fill in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits. If you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63. Fill in the key, Ex 12345678

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

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

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.
