Safety and product care
Your router is an electronic device that sends and receives radio signals. Please take the time to read this list of precautions that should be taken when installing and using the router.
Do not disassemble the router. There are no user-serviceable parts.
Do not allow the router to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time. To clean the device, wipe it with a damp cloth.
Do not restrict airflow around the device. This can lead to the device overheating.
Do not place the device in direct sunlight or in hot areas.
Transport and handling
When transporting the NF10W, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures that the product will not be damaged.
Note: In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent damage during courier transport.

Installation and configuration of the NF10W
Placement of your NF10W
The wireless connection between your NF10W and your WiFi devices will be strong when they are in close proximity and have direct line of sight. As your client device moves further away from the NF10W or solid objects block direct line of sight to the router, your wireless connection and performance may degrade. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the
computer to a position between three to five meters from the NF10W in order to see if distance is the problem.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this check list may help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NF10W, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the NF10W on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing the NF10W on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NF10W near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NF10W (2.4GHz).
Avoiding obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NF10W near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the NF10W).
Cordless phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your NF10W and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NF10W.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NF10W to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
NetComm Wireless NF10W User Guide
www.netcommwireless.com
v1.0
Choosing the “quietest” channel for your wireless network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Your wireless adapter may include a utility to assist in scanning for the least congested network, otherwise you may be able to find another piece of software that can be used. These tools display a graphical representation of the wireless networks in range and the channels on which they are operating. Try to find a channel which is not as busy and does not overlap with another one. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only channels which do not overlap with one another and you should ideally choose one of these channels. Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.
Hardware installation
1. Connect the power adapter to the Power socket on the back of the NF10W.
2. Plug the power adapter into the wall socket and switch on the power.
3. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the NF10W to power up.

2. Scan for wireless networks in your area and connect to the network name that matches the Wireless network name
configured on the NF10W.
Note: Refer to the included Wireless Security Card for the default SSID and wireless security key of your NF10W
3. When prompted for your wireless security settings, enter the Wireless security key configured on the NF10W.

IPv6 LAN Applications
Enable IPv6 DHCP server
Enable DHCPv6 Server and RADVD
The Router Advertisement Daemon (radvd) is an open-source software product that implements link-local advertisements of IPv6 router addresses and IPv6 routing prefixes using the Neighbor Discovery Protocol (NDP) as specified in RFC 2461. The Router Advertisement Daemon is used by system administrators in stateless auto-configuration methods of network hosts on Internet Protocol version 6 networks.
When IPv6 hosts configure their network interfaces, they broadcast router solicitation (RS) requests onto the network to discover available routers. The radvd software answers requests with router advertisement (RA) messages. In addition, radvd periodically broadcasts RA packets to the attached link to update network hosts. The router advertisement messages contain the routing prefix used on the link, the link maximum transmission unit (MTU), and the address of the responsible default router.
Stateless
IPv6 hosts can configure themselves automatically when connected to a routed IPv6 network using Internet Control Message Protocol version 6 (ICMPv6) router discovery messages. This type of configuration is suitable for small organizations and individuals. It allows each host to determine its address from the contents of received user advertisements. It makes use of the IEEE EUI-64 standard to define the network ID portion of the address.
Stateful
This configuration requires some human intervention as it makes use of the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol for IPv6 (DHCPv6) for installation and administration of nodes over a network. The DHCPv6 server maintains a list of nodes and the information about their state to know the availability of each IP address from the range specified by the network administrator.
Enable MLD Snooping
Select whether to enable or disable MLD Snooping on the router. The Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) snooping function constrains the flooding of IPv6 multicast traffic on VLANs on the router.
To set a DHCP reservation, enter the MAC Address of the chosen host and IP to use and then click Apply/Save. The NF10W enables you to set the DHCP options which are provided to hosts attempting to connect to the DHCP server.
These options should not normally need to be set or changed. Click Apply/Save to save the new LAN configuration settings.

FIELD
DEFINITION
Default Version
The version IGMP in use by the router.
Query Interval
The hosts on the segment report their group membership in response to the router’s queries. The query interval timer is also used to define the amount of time a router will store particular IGMP state if it does not hear any reports on the group. The query interval is the time in seconds between queries sent from the router to IGMP hosts.
Query Response Interval
When a host receives the query packet, it starts counting to a random value, less the maximum response time. When this timer expires, the host replies with a report, provided that no other host has responded yet. This accomplishes two purposes:
a) Allows controlling the amount of IGMP reports sent during a time window. b) Engages the report suppression feature, which permits a host to suppress its own report and conserve bandwidth.
Last Member Query Interval
IGMP uses this value when router hears IGMP Leave report. This means that at least one host wants to leave the group. After router receives the Leave report, it checks that the interface is not configured for IGMP Immediate Leave (single-host on the segment) and if not, it sends out an out-of-sequence query.
Robustness Value
The robustness variable is a way of indicating how susceptible the subnet is to lost packets. IGMP can recover from robustness variable minus 1 lost IGMP packets. You can also click the scroll arrows to select a new setting. The robustness variable should be set to a value of 2 or greater. The default robustness variable value
is 2.
Maximum Multicast Groups
The maximum number of multicast groups that the router can control at any one time.
Maximum Multicast Data Sources
The maximum number of data sources a multicast group can have.
Maximum Multicast Group Members
The maximum number of hosts a multicast group can have.
Fast Leave Enable
With IGMP fast-leave processing, which means that the router immediately removes the interface attached to a receiver upon receiving a Leave Group message from a IGMP host.
Multicast (IGMP Configuration)
The Internet Group Management Protocol (IGMP) is a communications protocol used by hosts and adjacent routers on IP networks to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP is a protocol only used on the network between a host and the router. It allows a host to inform the router whenever that host needs to join or leave a particular multicast group. IGMP provides for more efficient allocation of resources when used with online gaming and video streaming.

Shows your current frequency band.
Channel
Fill in the appropriate channel to correspond with your network settings. All devices in your wireless network must use the same channel in order to work correctly. This router supports auto channeling functionality.
Auto Channel Timer(min)
Specifies the timer of auto channelling.
802.11n/EWC
Select disable 802.11n or Auto.
Bandwidth
Select the bandwidth for the network. In high wireless activity/interference environment, reduce band to 20MHz for better stability.
Control Sideband
If you select 20MHz in Both Bands you cannot select sideband does not work as you are not utilizing side bands. When you select 40MHz in Both Bands as the bandwidth and manual select channel, the following options will appear. Then you can select Lower or Upper as the value of sideband. As the control sideband, when you select Lower, the channel is 1~7. When you select Upper, the channel is 5~11.
802.11n Rate
Select the transmission rate for the network. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the 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 value is Auto.
802.11n Protection
The 802.11n standards provide a protection method so 802.11b/g and 802.11n devices can co-exist in the same network without “speaking” at the same time.
Support 802.11n Client Only
Only stations that are configured in 802.11n mode can associate.
54g Rate
Allows you to specify the maximum bandwidth of the 802.11g network.
Multicast Rate
Select the multicast transmission rate for the network. The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the 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 value is Auto.
Basic Rate
Select the basic transmission rate ability for the AP.
Fragmentation Threshold
Packets that are larger than this threshold are fragmented into multiple packets. Try to increase the fragmentation threshold if you encounter high packet error rates. Do not set the threshold too low, since this can result in reduced networking performance.
RTS Threshold
This value should remain at its default setting of 2347.Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reductions are recommended. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The 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) fra me to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold value should remain at its default value of 2347.
DTIM Interval
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM.) A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
Beacon Interval
A beacon is a packet of information that is sent from a connected device to all other devices where it announces its availabi lity and readiness. A beacon interval is a period of time (sent with the beacon) before sending the beacon again. The beacon interval may be adjusted in milliseconds (ms). Default (100) is recommended.
XPress Technology
Select Enable or Disable. This is a special accelerating technology for IEEE802.11g. The default is Enabled.
WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia)
Select whether WMM is enable or disabled. Before you disable WMM, you should understand that all QoS queues or traffic classes relate to wireless do not take effects.
WMM No Acknowledgement
Select whether ACK in WMM packet. By default, the 'Ack Policy' for each access category is set to Disable, meaning that an acknowledge packet is returned for every packet received. This provides a more reliable transmission but increases traffic load, which decreases performance. To disable the acknowledgement can be useful for Voice, for example, where speed of transmission is important and packet loss is tolerable to a certain degree.
WMM APSD
APSD is short for automatic power save delivery, Selecting enable will make it has very low power consumption. WMM Power Save is an improvement to the 802.11e amendment adding advanced power management functionality to WMM.

Appendix: Quality of Service Setup Example
The following Quality of Service (QoS) settings offer a basic setup example, setting up 2 devices connecting to an NF10W router, one with the highest priority for data and the other with the lowest priority for data. All other data packet traffic through the router assumes a default best effort setting.
Quality of Service refers to the reservation of bandwidth resources on the NF10W router to provide different priorities to different applications, users or data flows or to guarantee a certain level of performance to a data flow.
In this implementation, QoS employs DSCP (Differentiated Services Code Point), a computer networking architecture that specifies a simple, scalable and course-grained mechanism for classifying and managing network traffic.
This example guide sets up QoS with two devices (PC and laptop) connecting via Ethernet cable to an NF10W router. One device (PC) is assigned high priority traffic while the other device (laptop) is assigned a low priority. Before Quality of Service can be implemented, the first step involves reserving an IP address for each device, identified by their unique MAC addresses.
Reserving IP addresses
It is necessary to reserve an IP address for each of the devices connecting to the NF10W router so that QoS settings can be managed for each device.
a) Navigate to http://192.168.20.1 in a web browser. b) When prompted, enter admin as both the username and password. c) Select Advanced Setup > LAN
