6.3.11 Inbound Filter
When you use the Virtual Server, Port Forwarding, or Remote Administration
features to open specific ports to traffic from the Internet, you could be increasing the
exposure of your LAN to cyberattacks from the Internet. In these cases, you can use
Inbound Filters to limit that exposure by specifying the IP addresses of internet hosts
that you trust to access your LAN through the ports that you have opened.
Inbound Filters can be used for limiting access to a server on your network to a
system or group of systems. Filter rules can be used with Virtual Server, Gaming, or
Remote Administration features.
Name Specify a name for the inbound filter.
Action: Select Allow or Deny from the drop-down list. This will apply the inbound
filter rule on the WAN interface.
Remote IP Range: Specify the remote IP address range and then click in the check
box to enable the range.
Click on the Save button to store the changes.

6.3.12 WISH
WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to
enhance your experience of using a wireless network by prioritizing the traffic of
different applications.
Enable WISH: Place a check in this box to enable the WISH feature.
HTTP: Place a check in this box to add HTTP as a classifier. This allows the device
to recognize HTTP transfers for many common audio and video streams and
prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams are frequently used by digital media
players.
Windows Media Center: Place a check in this box to add HTTP as a classifier.This
enables the router to recognize certain audio and video streams generated by a
Windows Media Center PC and to prioritize these above other traffic. Such streams
are used by systems known as Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 360.
Automatic: Place a check in this box for the device to automatically configure the
classifiers. When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically attempt to
prioritize traffic streams that it doesn't otherwise recognize, based on the behaviour
that the streams exhibit. This acts to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer
characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving interactive traffic, such as gaming
or VoIP, running at a normal priority.
Enable: Place a check in this box to enable the WISH rule. A WISH Rule identifies a
specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the
62
ESR-9710 Wireless N Gigabit Router Version 1.0
priority classifiers ensure the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required.
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific
message flow, the rule with the highest priority will be used.
Name: Assign a meaningful name to the WISH rule.
Priority: Select a priority from the drop-down list. The four priority message flows are:
o BK: Background (least urgent).
o BE: Best Effort.
o VI: Video.
o VO: Voice (most urgent).
Protocol: Select a protocol from the drop-down list.
Hos1 IP Range: Specify the IP range for the rule.
Host 1 Port Range: Specify the port range for the rule.
Host 2 IP Range: Specify the IP range for the rule.
Host 2 Port Range: Specify the port range for the rule.
Click on the Save button to insert the entry into the WISH rules list.
6.3.13 Wi-Fi Protected Setup
Wi-Fi Protected Setup is a feature that locks the wireless security settings and
prevents the settings from being changed by any new external registrar using its PIN.
Devices can still be added to the wireless network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Enable: Place a check in this box to
Lock: Place a check in this box to lock the wireless security settings and prevents
the settings from being changed by any new external registrar using its PIN. Devices
can still be added to the wireless network using Wi-Fi Protected Setup.
Reset PIN to Default: Press this button to reset the PIN to it’s default setting.
Generate NEW PIN: Press this button to generate a new random PIN.
Add Wireless Device Wizard: Please refer to Chapter 4 in order to configure Wi-Fi
Protected Setup using the Wizard.

6.3.14 Advanced Network (UPNP, WAN Ping…)
In this section you can configure the UPNP, WAN Ping, WAN port speed, multicast
streams, and PPPoE pass-through settings.
Enable UPNP: Place a check in this box to enable UPNP. UPnP is short for
Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking architecture that provides
compatibility among networking equipment, software, and peripherals. This router
has optional UPnP capability, and can work with other UPnP devices and software.
Allow Users to disable Internet Access: Place a check in this box if you would like
to allow to user to terminate the WAN session.
Allow Users to modify Virtual Server Mappings: Place a check in this box if you
would like the users to add, modify, or delete server mapping entries.
Enable WAN Ping Respond: Place a check in this box if you would like this device
to be pinged from the WAN side.
WAN Ping Inbound Filter: You may select the computer that may ping this device
from the WAN side.
WAN Port Speed: You may select a WAN port speed from the drop-down list. It is
recommended that you select Auto.

Enable Multicast Streams: Place a check in this box to enable multicast streams.
The router uses the IGMP protocol to support efficient multicasting -- transmission of
identical content, such as multimedia, from a source to a number of recipients. This
option must be enabled if any applications on the LAN participate in a multicast
group. If you have a multimedia LAN application that is not receiving content as
expected, try enabling this option.
Enable PPPoE Pass Through: Place a check in this box to enable PPPoE pass-
through. This option controls whether LAN computers can act as PPPoE clients and
negotiate the PPP sessions through the router over the WAN ethernet link. Enabling
this option allows LAN computers to act as PPPoE clients. Disabling this option
prevents LAN computers from establishing PPPoE pass-through connections.
