T hen, y ou can build a FTP server on your computer and set the router’s port range forwarding to enable your friends to access to these files on your computer. Suppose that your FTP server or your computer’s static IP address is 192.168.0.10, and you wish your friends can
36
11N Wireless User Guide
access the server through the default port 21 and ad op ts TCP protocol.
Please follow the steps below to configure.
1.Enter 21 in both start port and end port fields, or you can also select FTP from the well-known service port and its port 21 will be added to the corresponding field automatically.
2. Enter 192.168.0.10 in the LAN IP column, and then select “Both” as the protocol and select “Enable”.
3. As the picture shown below.
4. Click the “Ok” button to save the settings. And now, when your friends want to visit the FTP server, they only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in the address field. Here, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx means the router’s WAN IP address. For example, when your router’s WAN IP address is 172.16.102.89; your friends need to enter ftp://172.16.102.89:21 in the address field.
NOTE: If you set the service port of the virtual server as 80, you must set the Web management port on Remote Web Management screen to be any value except 80 such as 8080. Otherwise, there will be a conflict to disable the virtual server.

Appendix 1 Glossary
Channel:
An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other instances of medium use(on other channels) by other instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual interference. SSID: SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all devices within the network. It is cas e-sens itive an d must not exceed 20 char acter s (use any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure thi s setting is the same fo r all device s in your wireless network.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption:
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data trans mission by usin g a key similar to WEP, but the added strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some government users.
802,1x authentication
Static WEP key is difficult to manage for when you change the key, you will have to inform all others, and if the key is disclosed in one of the places, the key can no longer provide security. Besides, there’s severe security loophol e about static WEP encryption . The WEP key can be decrypted after one person receives a specific amount of data via wireless intercepting. 802,1x is initially used for wired Ethernet authentication access to prevent illegal users from accessing the network. Later, it is found that 802.1x can better solve the wireless network security problem. EAP-TLS of the 802.1x successfully achieves the two-way authentication between users and networks, i.e. can prevent illegal users from accessing the network and can also prevent users from accessing the illegal AP. 802.1x utilizes dynamic WEP encryption to protect the WEP key from being decrypted. To solve the publishing problem for digital certification, people make some changes to TLS authentication and TTLS and EA P come into exist, which enable y ou to acce ss th e netw or k by using the traditional way of authentication: username and password.
