2-6 Wired LAN Configurations

worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

Before all computers using w ired Ethernet connection (i. e. those computers connect to this r outer’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate with each other and ac cess internet, they must have a valid IP address.

There are tw o ways to assig n IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic I P address (IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it w ill save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot o f com puter s 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 an d 254) , an d 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 descr ip t io ns l ist ed ab o v e, d on’t

5GHz Advanced Settings

Here are desc riptions of every setup items:

Fragment Set the Fragment threshold of wirele ss radio. Threshold (1): Do not modify default value if you don’t know

what it is, default value is 2346.

RTS Threshold (2): Set the RTS threshold of wireless radio. Do not

modify default value if you don’t know wh at it is, default value is 2347.

Beacon Interval (3): Set the beacon interval of wireless radi o. Do not

modify default value if you don’t know wh at it is, default value is 100.

DTIM Period (4): Set the DTIM pe riod of wireless radio. D o not

modify default value if you don’t know wh at it is, default value is 3.

Data Rate (5): Set t he wireless data transfer rate to a certain value.

Since most of wireless devices will negotiate wi th

Page 92

each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically, it’s not necessary to change this

value unless you know what will happen after modification.

N Data Rate (6): Same as above, but only for 80 2. 11n & 802.11ac

clients.

Channel Width (7): Set channel width of wireless radio. You can modify

default value if you know what channel width is you need, default se tt in g is ‘20 MHz’.

Preamble Type (8): Set the type of preamble, do not modify default

value if you don’t know wh at it is, def aul t setti n g is ‘Short Preamble’.

Broadcast ESSID (9): Decide if the wire less router will broadcast its own

ESSID or not. You can hide the ESSID of your wireless router (set the option to ‘Disable’), so only people thos e who know the ESSID of your wireless router can get connected.

CTS Protect (10): Enabling this se tt i ng wil l reduce the cha nc e of radio

signal collisions between 802. 11b and 802.11g/n wireless access points. It’s recommended to set this option to ‘Auto’ or ‘Always’. However, if you se t to ‘None’, your wireless router should be able to work fine, too.

Tx Power (11): You can set the output p ower of wireless radio.

Unless you’re using this wireless router in a really big space, you may not have t o set output power to 100%. This will enhance security (malicious /

unknown use rs in distance will not be able to reach y our wireless router).

WMM (12): The short of Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the

data transfer performance of multimedia contents

2-7-3 Wireless Security

It’s very important to set wireles s security settin gs properly! If you don’t, hackers and malicio us users can reach your networ k and valuable data without your consent and this will cause serious security problem.

To set wireless security settings, Please click ‘2.4GHz Wireless’ or ‘5GHz Wireless’ menu on th e left of web management interface, then click ‘Security Settings’, then follow the f ollowing instructions to set wireless security settings:

Please sele ct an encryption method from ‘Encryption’ dropdown menu, there are four options:

Page 94

2-7-3-1 Disable wireless security

When you select t his mode, data encryption is disabled, and every wireless de vice in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router if no other se curity measure is enabled (like MAC address access control

- see section 2-7-4, or disable ESSI D br oa dc as t).

Only use this option when you really want to allow everyone to use your wireless router, and you don’t care if the re’s someon e reads the data you transfer over network without your consent.

2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy

When you select this m ode, the wireless router will use WEP encryption, and the followin g setup menu will be shown on y our web browser:

Here are desc riptions of every setup items:

Key Length (2): There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and

128-bit. Using ‘128-bit’ is safer tha n ’64-bit’, but

Page 95

will reduce some data transfer performance.

Key Format ( 3): There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.

When you sele ct a key format, the number of characters of key will be dis played. 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 key, and you can

decide which key is being used by defau l t 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 numbe r

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 same with each other.

Enable 802.1x IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every Authentication (9): user must use a valid account to login to this

wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encryption the data during communication. If there is a R ADIUS server in you environment, please enable this function. C heck this box and another sub-menu will appear:
