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 Security’ menu on the left of
web management interface, under the ‘Wireless’ tab and then follow the instructions
mentioned below to set wireless security settings:
Wireless Security if selected Disable
When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless device in
proximity will be able to connect to your wireless router if no other security measure is
enabled (like Access Control or disable SSID 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 reading the data you transfer over
network without your consent.

2-7-4 WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wireless
network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have to select encryption mode and
input a long encryption passphrase every time when you need to setup a wireless client,
you only have to press a button on wireless client and this wireless router, and the WPS
will do the rest for you.
This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and
PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push a specific button on the wireless
client to start WPS mode, and switch this wireless router to WPS mode too. You can push
Reset/WPS button of this wireless router, or click ‘Start PBC’ button in the web
configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you have to know the PIN
code of wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the
wireless client you wish to connect to this wireless router.
Please click ‘WPS’ menu on the left of web management interface, under the ‘Wireless’
tab, and the following screen will be displayed on your web browser.

2-6-5 WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
WDS mode is used to extend the wireless network coverage. The AP/Router can be
linked to other AP using WDS. To set up links between access point units, you must
configure the Wireless Distribution System (WDS) forwarding table by specifying the
wireless MAC address of all units to which you want to forward traffic.
This uses the MAC addresses of the station and that of the AP connected to it on the
transmitting LAN, and the MAC addresses of the AP functioning as a wireless
repeater/bridge and that of the station connected to it on a neighboring LAN in the 802.11
frame header.
Note: The wireless AP/Router does not support the spanning tree algorithm. WDS
links should be configured appropriately to avoid causing loops on the network.
To set WDS settings, Please click ‘WDS’ menu on the left of web management interface,
under the ‘Wireless’ tab.
