8 Internet Access

This chapter describes how to configure the way that your device connects to the Internet. Your ISP determines what type of Internet access you should use and provides you with any information that you need in order to configure the Internet access to your device.

Your device needs the following address information in order to access the Internet:

ATM PVC To configure ATM PVC, enter the VPI

and VCI provided by ISP. Select the Service Type Index, Service Category and enter the following information:

• Peak Cell Rate

• Sustainable Cell Rate

• Maximum Burst Size

Connection Type To configure the connection type, select

the protocol and encapsulation type as indicated by ISP. Supported Protocol types are:

• RFC1483 Bridged

• RFC1483 MER

• PPPoE

• PPPoA

• RFC1483 Routed

Supported Encapsulation types are:

• VCMUX

• LLC/SNAP

WAN IP Settings To configure WAN IP settings, enter the

information as indicated by ISP. Enable/Disable the Access Concentrator option. Either enter the WAN IP or select the option to automatically obtain IP address.

Check as applicable the following two options:

• Enable NAT

• Add default Route

Broadband Username and Password

To configure Broadband Username and Password, enter the user name and password details. Also set the session establishment condition as one of the following:

• Continuous

Wireless 802.11 b/g/n ADSL2+ Router User’s Guide

• Connect on demand. Enter the minutes after which the session must be disconnected, if no activity takes place.

• Manual. Enter the minutes after which the session must be disconnected, if no activity takes place.

In most cases, you will not need to configure your device with

these addresses because your ISP is likely to use an Internet access type which automatically assigns addresses to your

device. For more information, see Types of Internet Access.

Types of Internet Access

The types of Internet access available are as follows:

• PPP Internet access – your device uses a Point to Point Protocol (PPP) to carry data between your ISP and your computer. To use PPP Internet access, you must enter a PPP login username and password the first time to log on. The IP addresses required to access your ISP’s Internet service are automatically configured.

Your device supports PPPoE (over Ethernet).

Your device supports PPPoA (over ATM).

• Bridged Internet access – your device uses a Bridge mode with your PPPoE Client Software to carry data between your ISP and your computer. To use Bridged Internet access with your PPPoE Client Software, you must enter a PPP login username and password the first time to log on. The IP addresses required to access your ISP’s Internet service are automatically configured.

Your device supports RFC 1483 Bridged Mode).

Wireless 802.11 b/g/n ADSL2+ Router User’s Guide

Configuring your PPPoE DSL connection

If your ISP’s Internet service uses PPPoE you need to set up a PPP login account. The first time that you login to the Internet, your ISP will ask you to enter a username and password so they can check that you are a legitimate, registered Internet service user. Your device stores these authentication details, so you will not have to enter this username and password every time you login.

Your ISP may also tell you to set unique path and circuit numbers (called VPI and VCI) in order to connect your device to the ISP’s Internet service. In most cases, your device will use default settings, so you may not need to enter these values.

Note

Your ISP will provide you with the login details and VPI/VCI values necessary to set up a PPP login account.

If your ISP wants you to connect to the Internet using PPP, follow the instructions below.

Access Control

For security reason, using MAC ACL's (MAC Address Access List) creates another level of difficulty to hacking a network. A MAC ACL is created and distributed to AP so that only authorized NIC's can connect to the network. While MAC address spoofing is a proven means to hacking a network this can be used in conjunction with additional security measures to increase the level of complexity of the network security decreasing the chance of a breach.

MAC addresses can be add/delete/edit from the ACL list depending on the MAC Access Policy.

On this page you can allow or deny access to your wireless network based off the clients MAC address. Choose "Allowed Listed" and only the clients whose MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect. When "Deny Listed" is selected, the wireless clients on this list will not be able to

connect to the access point. To access the Wireless Network Access Control page:

Field Description

Authentication Type

Fragment Threshold

Open System: Open System authentication is not

required to be successful while a client may decline to authenticate with any particular other client.

Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP

option is implemented. Shared Key authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism.

Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It

will change its authentication type automatically to fulfill client’s requirement.

When transmitting a packet over a network medium, sometimes the packet is broken into several segments, if the size of packet exceeds that allowed by the network medium.

The Fragmentation Threshold defines the number of bytes used for the fragmentation boundary for directed messages.

This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increases the “Fragment Threshold” value within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting this value too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.

RTS Threshold

Beacon Interval

This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The ADSL modem (or AP) sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.

The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and

1024. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the ADSL modem (or AP) to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100.

Data Rate

The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You should select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the ADSL modem (or AP) automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the AP and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto.

WPS

Introduction of WPS

Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still have trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the open security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, WPS is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and subsequently network management (Wi-Fi Protected Setup Specification 1.0h.pdf, p. 8).

The largest difference between WPS-enabled devices and legacy devices is that users do not need the knowledge about SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf in a security-enabled Wi-Fi network. For examples, in the initial network set up, if users want to use the PIN configuration, the only thing they need to do is entering the device PIN into registrar, starting the PIN method on that device and simply wait until the device joins the network. After the PIN method is started on both sides, a registration protocol will be initiated between the registrar and the enrollee. Typically, a registrar could be an access point or other device that is capable of managing the network. An enrollee could be an access point or a station that will join the network. After the registration protocol has been done, the enrollee will receive SSID and security settings from the registrar and then join the network. In other words; if a station attempts to join a network managed by an access point with built-in internal registrar, users will need to enter station’s PIN into the web page of that access point. If the device PIN is correct and valid and users start PIN on station, the access point and the station will automatically exchange the encrypted information of the network settings under the management of AP’s internal registrar. The station then uses this information to perform authentication algorithm, join the secure network, and transmit data with the encryption algorithm. More details will be demonstrated in the following sections.

Supported WPS features

Currently, Wireless Gateway supports WPS features for AP mode, AP+WDS mode, Infrastructure-Client mode, and the wireless root interface of Universal Repeater mode.

Other modes such as WDS mode, Infrastructure-Adhoc mode, and the wireless virtual interface of Universal Repeater mode are not implemented with WPS features.

If those unsupported modes are enforc ed by users, WPS will be disabled. Under the configuration of every WPS-

supported mode, Wireless Gateway has Push Button method and PIN method. For each method, Wireless Gateway offers

different security levels included in network credential, such as open security, WEP 64 bits, WEP 128 bits, WPA2-Personal TKIP, and WPA2-Personal AES. Users could choose either one of the methods at their convenience.

User’s Guide Configuring your Computers

AP mode

For AP mode, Wireless Gateway supports three roles, registrar, proxy, and enrollee in registration protocol. At different scenarios, Wireless Gateway will automatically switch to an appropriate role depending on the other device’s role or a specific configuration.

AP as Enrollee

If users know AP’s PIN and enter it into external registrar, the external registrar will configure AP with a new wireless profile such as new SSID and new security settings. The external registrar does this job either utilizing the in-band EAP (wireless) or out-of-band UPnP (Ethernet). During the WPS handshake, a wireless profile is encrypted and transmitted to AP. If the handshake is successfully done, AP will be re-initialized with the new wireless profile and wait for legacy stations or WPS stations to join its network.

AP as Registrar

Wireless Gateway also has a built-in internal registrar. Whenever users enter station’s PIN into AP’s webpage, click “Start PBC”, or push the physical button, AP will switch to registrar automatically. If users apply the same method on station side and the WPS handshake is successfully done, SSID and security settings will be transmitted to that station without the risk of eavesdropping. And then the station will associate with AP in a security-enabled network.

AP as Proxy

At this state, AP is transparent to users. If users want to configure a station or any device that is capable of being an enrollee, they have to enter device’s PIN into an external registrar and choose an appropriate wireless profile. After the PIN is entered, the external registrar will inform AP this event. AP then conveys the encrypted wireless profile between the device and the external registrar. Finally, the device will use the wireless profile and associate with AP. However, the device may connect to other APs if the wireless profile does not belong to the proxy AP. Users must carefully choose the wireless profile or create a wireless profile on an external registrar.

Infrastructure-Client mode

In Infrastructure-Client mode, Wireless Gateway only supports enrollee’s role. If users click “Start PIN”, click “Start PBC”, or press the physical button on Wireless Gateway, it will start to seek WPS AP. Once users apply the same method on registrar side, Wireless Gateway will receive the wireless profile upon successfully doing the registration protocol. Then Wireless Gateway will associate with an AP.

Push Button Configuration

When AP’s settings are factory default (out of box), it is set to open security and un-configured state. “WPS Status” will display it as “UnConfigured”. If it already shows “Configured”, some registrars such as Vista WCN will not configure AP. Users will need to go to the “Backup/Restore” page and click “Reset” to reload factory default settings.

“Self-PIN Number” is AP’s PIN. Whenever users want to change AP’s PIN, they could click “Regenerate PIN” and then click “ Apply Changes”. Moreover, if users want to make their own PIN, they could enter four-digit PIN without checksum and then click “ Apply Changes”. However, this would not be recommended since the registrar side needs to be supported with four-digit PIN.

Push Button Configuration

Client PIN Number

Function Button Description

Clicking this button will invoke the PBC method of WPS. It is only used when AP acts as a registrar.

It is only used when users want their station to join AP’s network. The length of PIN is limited to four or eight numeric digits. If users enter eight-digit PIN with checksum error, there will be a warning message popping up. If users insist on this PIN, AP will take it.
