RIP is an Internet protocol you can set up to share routing table information with

other routing devices on your LAN, at your ISP‟s location, or on remote networks

connected to your network via the ADSL line.

49

Most small home or office networks do not need to use RIP; they have only one
router, such as the ADSL Router, and one path to an ISP. In these cases, there
is no need to share routes, because all Internet data from the network is sent to
the same ISP gateway.

You may want to configure RIP if any of the following circumstances apply to
your network:

 Your home network setup includes an additional router or RIP-enabled PC

(other than the ADSL Router). The ADSL Router and the router will need to
communicate via RIP to share their routing tables.

 Your network connects via the ADSL line to a remote network, such as a

corporate network. In order for your LAN to learn the routes used within your
corporate network, they should both be configured with RIP.

 Your ISP requests that you run RIP for communication with devices on their

network.

These setting shall not be changed unless you know exactly what will happen for
the changes you made on your router.

63

Parameter

Description

Authentication Type

There are three authentication types: "Open System",
"Shared Key" and "Auto".

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

64

WEP privacy mechanism.

Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will
change its authentication type automatically to fulfill
client‟s requirement.

Fragmentation
Threshold

Fragment Threshold specifies the maximum size of
packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted.
If you set this value too low, it will result in bad
performance. Enter a value from 256 to 2346.

RTS Threshold

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 wireless
router 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.

Beacon Interval

The interval of time that this wireless router broadcast a
beacon. Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless
network. The range for the beacon period is between 20
and 1024 with a default value of 100 (milliseconds).

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 wireless router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback
feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible
connection speed between the router and a wireless
client. The default setting is “Auto”.

65

Preamble Type

The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC
(Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication
between the router and wireless stations. Make sure to
select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high
network traffic areas should use the “Short Preamble”.
CRC is a common technique for detecting data
transmission errors.

Broadcast SSID

If this option is enabled, the router will automatically
transmit the network name (SSID) into open air at regular
interval. This feature is intended to allow clients to
dynamically discover the router. If this option is disabled,
the router will hide its SSID. When this is done, the
clients cannot directly discover the router and MUST be
configure with the SSID for accessing to the router. It is
used to protect your network from being accessed easily.

Relay Blocking

When you enable this function, wireless clients will not be
able to directly access other wireless clients.

Protection

This is also called CTS Protection. It is recommended to
enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and

802.11g/802.11n wireless stations. When the protection
mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little
lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.

Aggregation

This function is used to join multiple data packets for
transmission as a single unit to increase network
efficiency.

Short GI

The 802.11n draft specifies two guard intervals: 400ns
(short) and 800ns (long). Support of the 400ns GI is
optional for transmit and receive. Enable this function

66

will increase network efficiency.

67

Parameter

Description

Encryption

You can choose “None” to disable the encryption or
select “WEP”, “WPA(TKIP)”, “WPA2(AES)” or “WPA2
Mixed” mode for security. When “WEP” is enabled,
please click “Set WEP Key” button to choose the default
key and set the four sets of WEP keys.
WEP –WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP
supports 64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the

WPA(TKIP) – WPA uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol
(TKIP) for data encryption. TKIP utilized a stronger
encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity
Code (MIC) to provide protection against hackers.

WPA2(AES) – WPA2, also known as 802.11i, uses
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) for data
encryption. AES utilized a symmetric 128-bit block data

68

encryption.

WPA Mixed – The router supports WPA (TKIP) and
WPA2 (AES) for data encryption. The actual selection of
the encryption methods will depend on the clients.

Use 802.1x

IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every 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. Check this box to
authenticates user by IEEE 802.1x.

WEP-64Bits

WEP is less level of security than WPA. WEP supports
64-bit and 128-bit key lengths to encrypt the wireless
data. The longer key length will provide higher security.
When “WEP-64Bits” is selected, you have to enter
exactly 5 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 10
hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).

WEP-128Bits

When “WEP-128Bits” is selected, you have to enter
exactly 13 ASCII characters (“a-z” and “0-9”) or 26
hexadecimal digits ("0-9", "a-f") for each Key (1-4).

5.2.4.5. 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, The Wi-Fi
Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi
networks and subsequently network management.
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.
This device supports Push Button method and PIN method for WPS. The
following sub-paragraphs will describe the function of each item. The webpage is
as below.

72

Parameter

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

“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.

5.2.6. NAT (Network address translations)

NAT (Network address translations) solve the problem if sharing a single IP
address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned
with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service
providers only provide very few IP addresses to every user. Therefore it‟s
necessary to use NAT technology to share a single Internet IP address to
multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to Internet.

Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters:
