NOTE: When you want to manage this router from another computer

on the Internet, you need to input the IP address and port number of

this router. If your Internet service provider assigns you a static IP

address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your service

provider assigns you will vary every time you establish an Internet

connection, this will be a problem.

Either ask your service provider to give you a static IP address, or

use dynamic IP to host name mapping services like DDNS. Refer to

section 2-5-8 DDNS Client for details.

NOTE: The default port number the Web browser will use is 80. If the

“Port” setting on this page is not 80, you need to assign the port

number in the address bar of the Web browser manually. For

example, if the IP address of this router is 1.2.3.4 and the port

number you set is 8888, you need to input the following address in

the address bar of the Web browser:

http://1.2.3.4:8888

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is an IP-to-hostname mapping service for those Internet users who don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem if such a user wants to provide services to other users on the Internet because their IP address will vary every time they connect to the Internet, and other users will not be able to know the IP address they’re using at a certain time.

This router supports the DDNS service of several service providers; for example: DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org) TZO (http://www.tzo.com)

Go to one of the DDNS service provider’s Web site listed above, and get a free DDNS account using the instructions they provide.

2-6 Wired LAN Configurations

Before all computers using wired Ethernet connections (i.e., those computers connect to this router’s LAN ports 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate with each other and access the Internet, they each must have a valid IP address.

There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every computer manually) and dynamic IP address (IP addresses of computers will be assigned by the router automatically). It’s recommended that most of the computers use a dynamic IP address, as it will save a lot of time instead of setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and network devices that will provide services to other computers and users that come from the Internet, a static IP address should be used so other computers can locate the server.

Suggestions for an IP address numbering plan:

1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d. For most 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 able to work with up to 253 clients, so you can set the “d” field of the IP address of the router as 1 or 254 (or any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0 and 254 for field “c.”

2. In most cases, you should use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet mask, which allows up to 253 clients (this also matches the router’s ability to work with up to 253 clients).

3. For all servers and network devices that will provide services to other people (like Internet service, print service and file service), they should use a 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 that are not dedicated to providing specific service to others, they should use a dynamic IP address.

If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

Click LAN on the left side of the Web management interface. There are three setup groups here: “LAN IP,” “DHCP Server” and “Static DHCP Leases Table.”

NOTE:

1. The number of the last field (the “d” field) of “End IP” must be

greater than “Start IP” and can’t be the same as the router’s IP

address.

2. The first three fields of the IP address of “Start IP,” “End IP” and

“IP Address” of “LAN IP” (“a,” “b” and “c”) should be the same.

3. These settings will affect wireless clients, too.

3 4 2

2- 6-3 S ta tic D HC P Lease s Table

This function allows you to assign a static IP address to a specific computer forever, so you don’t have to set the IP address for a computer, but can still enjoy the benefit of using DHCP server. A maximum of 16 static IP addresses can be assigned here.

(If you set “Lease Time” to “forever” in the DHCP Server section, you can also assign an IP address to a specific computer permanently; however, you will not be able to assign a certain IP address to a specific computer since IP addresses will be assigned in random order this way).

Below are descriptions of the options:

Enable Static Check this box to enable this function; DHCP Leases (1): otherwise uncheck it to disable this function.

802.11g clients; 150 Mbps for 802.11n clients).

NOTE: For 802.11b and 802.11g mode, the signals can be transmitted

only by antenna 1 (the antenna on the right side of the rear panel).

For 802.11n mode: The router is operating in a 2T2R Spatial

Multiplexing MIMO configuration. 2 antennas are for signal

transmitting and 2 antennas are for signal receiving.

it’s recommended to change default ESSID name to one that is meaningful to you, such as “myhome,” “office_room1,” etc.

Channel Number (3): Select a channel from the drop-down list.

Available channel numbers are 1 to 13 for European countries; 1 to 11 for the U.S. You can choose any channel number you want to use, and almost all wireless clients can locate the channel you’re using automatically without any problem. However, it’s still useful to remember the channel number you use. Some wireless clients support manual channel number select, which would help in certain scenarios where there is some radio communication problem.

Associated Clients (4): Click “Show Active Clients” and an “Active

Wireless Client Table” will pop up. You can see the status of all active wireless stations that are connecting to the router.

After you finish the wireless settings, click “Apply” and the following message will be displayed on your Web browser:

NOTE: If you don’t have a special reason to limit the type of allowed

wireless client, it’s recommended to choose 2.4 GHz (B+G+N) to

maximize wireless client compatibility.

TIPS: You can try changing the channel number to another one if you

think the data transfer rate is too slow. There could be some other

wireless routers using the same channel, which will disturb the radio

communication between wireless clients and the wireless router.

2-7-2 Advanced Wireless Settings

This router provides some advanced control of wireless parameters. Click Wireless on the left side of the Web management interface, then click “Advanced Settings” and the following message will be displayed on your Web browser:

RTS Threshold (2): Set the RTS threshold of the wireless radio. Do

not modify the default value if you don’t know what it does (default value is 2347).

Beacon Interval (3): Set the beacon interval of the wireless radio.

Do not modify the default value if you don’t know what it does (default value is 100).

DTIM Period (4): Set the DTIM period of the wireless radio. Do

not modify the default value if you don’t know what it does (default value is 3).

Data Rate (5): Set the wireless data transfer rate to a certain

value. Since most wireless devices will negotiate with 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 802.11n clients.

Channel Width (7): Set the channel width. Do not modify the

default value if you don’t know what it does (default setting is “Auto 20/40 MHz”).

Preamble Type (8): Set the type of preamble. Do not modify the

default value if you don’t know what it does (default setting is “Short Preamble”).

Broadcast ESSID (9): Decide if the wireless router will broadcast its

own ESSID or not. You can hide the ESSID of

your wireless router (set the option to “Disable”) so only those who know the ESSID of your wireless router can connect.

CTS Protect (10): Enabling this setting will reduce the chance 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 set to “None,” your wireless router should be able to work fine.

Tx Power (11): You can set the output power of the wireless

radio. Unless you’re using this wireless router in a really big space, you may not have to set output power to 100%. This will enhance

security (distant malicious/unknown users won’t be able to reach your wireless router).

WMM (12): Wi-Fi MultiMedia will enhance the data transfer

performance of multimedia content when it’s being transferred over the wireless network. If

you don’t know what it is or aren’t sure if you need it, it’s safe to set this option to “Enable” (though the default is “Disable”).

After you finish these wireless settings, click “Apply” (13) and the following message will be displayed on your Web browser:

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

Hex. When you select a key format, the number of characters of the key will be displayed. For example, if you select “64-bit” as the key length, and “Hex” as the key format, you’ll see the message at the right of “Key Format” is “Hex (10 characters),” which means the length of the WEP key is 10 characters.

Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP keys, and

you can decide which key is being used by default here. If unsure, 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 number

displayed in the “‘Key Format” field. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select “ASCII” key format; if you select “Hex,” you can use characters 0-9, a-f and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption

key here; if you enter multiple WEP keys, they should all be different.

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

this wireless router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication. If there is a RADIUS server in your environment, enable this function. Check this box and another sub-menu will appear:

RADIUS Server Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server IP Address (11): here.

RADIUS Server Enter the port number the RADIUS server Port (12): here.

RADIUS Server Enter the RADIUS server password here. Password (13):

TIPS: Some examples of WEP keys (Don’t use these; use your own!):

ASCII (5 characters): pilot phone 23561 2Hyux #@xmL

ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY 82Jh26xHy3m&n

Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732 1152dabc85

Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84

To improve security, don’t use words found in a dictionary or which

are too easy to remember! (“pilot” and “phone” are examples of bad

choices). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only

have to input the WEP key for a wireless client once.

After you finish the WEP settings, click “Apply” (10) and the following will be displayed on your Web browser:

2- 7-3-3 W i-Fi Pr otect ed Acce ss (WPA)

2- 7-5 W i- Fi Pr ot ected S etup (W PS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build a connection between wireless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have to select an encryption mode or input a long encryption passphrase every time you need to set up a wireless client: You only need to press a button on the 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 need 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 the Reset/WPS button on this wireless router or click “Start PBC” on the Web configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN Code, you need to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the wireless client you want to connect to this wireless router.

Click Wireless on the left side of the Web management interface, then click “WPS.” The following message will be displayed on your Web browser:

Below are descriptions of the options:

Enable WPS (1): Check this box to enable WPS function;

uncheck it to disable WPS.

WPS Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set, you’ll see “Configured.” If the function hasn’t been set, you’ll see “unConfigured.”

Self PIN code: This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless router. This code is useful when you need to build a wireless connection using WPS with other WPS-enabled wireless devices.

SSID: The SSID of this wireless router will be

displayed here.

Authentication Mode: The wireless security

authentication mode of this wireless router will be displayed here. If you don’t enable the security function of the wireless router before WPS is activated, the router will auto-set the security to WPA2 Mixed and generate a set of passphrase keys for WPS connection.

Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of

the router will be displayed here.

Config Mode (3): There are Registrar and Enrollee modes for the

WPS connection. When “Registrar” is selected, the wireless clients will follow the router’s wireless settings for WPS connection. When “EnrollEe” is selected, the router will follow the wireless settings of the wireless client for WPS connection.

Configure by Click “Start PBC" to start Push Button-style Push Button (4): WPS setup procedure. This wireless router will

wait for WPS requests from wireless clients for 2 minutes. The WLAN LED on the wireless router will be lit for 2 minutes when this wireless router is waiting for incoming WPS requests.

when this wireless router is waiting for incoming WPS requests.

2- 7-6 S ec urity Tips for Wireless Network

Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your wireless network:

1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP encryption or WPA passphrases.

2. A complicated (lengthy combination of numbers, letters and even symbols) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than a simple and short one. Remember that the wireless client is able to keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the complicated key or passphrase once. It’s not too much trouble, and it will greatly improve your security level.

3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by setting “Broadcast ESSID” to “Disable.” Your wireless router will not be found by other people in proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of their wireless client, and this can reduce the chance of being hacked.

4. Use Access Control described in Section 2-7-4 so those who are not on your list will not be able to connect to your network.

Chapter III Advanced Functions

3-1 Q ualit y of Servi ce (Q oS)

Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the Internet bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete with each other to get Internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) will be affected, possibly resulting in the interruption of video/audio transfer.

With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer to avoid this and other problems.

3-2 N etwor k Address Translation (NAT)

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