other’s MAC address and share the same SSID, channel, security
settings and security key, the WDS feature can be implemented.
Note:
1. WDS feature can be implemented only between 2 wireless devices
that both support the WDS feature. Plus, SSID, channel, security settings
and security key must be the same on both devices. Using the Open
Scan option and selecting link partner from the scan list automatically
change the router’s existing SSID and channel settings respectively to
those of link partner as well as add link partner’s MAC address. So we
38

recommend you to use this Open Scan option for easy WDS settings.
2. Using WEP encryption improves WDS compatibility. For this
reason, we recommend you to encrypt your wireless network with WEP
when using the WDS feature.
5.2 Wireless Security
This section allows you to configure wireless security settings to
block unauthorized access to your wireless network and prevent
malicious packet sniffing. You have 4 ways to encrypt your wireless data:
WPS, WEP, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
5.2.1 WPS Settings
WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes it easy for home users who know little
of wireless security to establish a secure wireless home network, as well
as to add new devices to an existing network without entering long
passphrases or configuring complicated settings. Simply enter a PIN code
or press the software PBC button or hardware WPS button (if any) and a
secure wireless connection is established.
● WPS Settings: Select to enable/disable the WPS encryption. It is
enabled by default.
● WPS Mode: Select PBC (Push-Button Configuration) or PIN.
39
Page 41
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
● PBC ： Click this software button or directly press the hardware WPS
button on both your router and the new wireless client device (that you
want to connect to your router wirelessly) for 1 second to establish an
easy and secure wireless connection.
Note: If you find the WPS LED blinking for 2 minutes after you select
and apply the PBC mode, it means that the PBC encryption method is
successfully enabled. And an authentication will be performed between
your router and the WPS/PBC-enabled wireless client device during this
time; if it succeeds, the wireless client device connects to your device,
and the WPS LED displays a solid light thereafter. Repeat steps
mentioned above if you want to connect more wireless client devices to
your router.
● PIN： To use this option you must know the PIN code from the wireless
client. Simply click the PIN radio button and enter client’s PIN code while
using the same PIN code on client side for secure connection.
● Reset OOB: When clicked, the WPS LED will display a solid light; the
WPS function will be disabled automatically; WPS server on the Router
enters idle mode and will not respond to client’s WPS connection request.
Note: The WPS function can be implemented only between your
Router and another WPS-enabled device.

5.2.2 WPA-PSK
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it
dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a
message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being
hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless
network.
● Security Mode: Select a proper mode, which is also supported by your
wireless clients, from the drop-down menu.
● WPA Algorithms: Select either AES (advanced encryption standard) or
TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol) type.
● Key: Enter a security key ， which must be between 8-63 ASCII
characters.
Key Renewal Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key.
41
Page 43

Router User Manual
5.2.3 WPA2-PSK
The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with the full IEEE
802.11i standard and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in
addition to TKIP encryption protocol to guarantee better security than that
provided by WEP or WPA.
5.2.4 WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
WEP is intended to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of
a traditional wired network. Two methods of authentication can be used
with WEP: Open System authentication and Shared Key authentication.
● WEP Key: You can select either ASCII or Hexadecimal from the drop-
down menu.
42
Page 44
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
● Note: If you select ASCII, enter 5 or 13 valid ASCII characters; or if you
select Hexadecimal, enter 10 or 26 Hexadecimal characters.
● Default Key: Select one key from the 4 preset keys.
5.3 MAC-based Wireless Access Control
The MAC-based Wireless Access Control feature can be used to
allow or disallow clients to connect to your wireless network.
● MAC Address Filter: “Permit” means to permit PCs at specified MAC
addresses to connect to your wireless network while “Forbid” means to
block PCs at specified MAC addresses from connecting to your wireless
network.
● MAC Address ： Enter the MAC addresses of a wireless client and
click “Add”.
● MAC Address List: Displays the MAC addresses added by you. You
can delete any entry by clicking on the “Delete” button nearby.

connecting to your wireless network, follow steps above and make a few
necessary changes as shown above.
5.4 Connection Status
This interface displays the information of currently connected
wireless clients including MAC addresses and bandwidth.
● MAC Address: Displays the MAC addresses of the PCs that have
been wirelessly connected to your router.
● Bandwidth: Displays the channel bandwidth used by the currently
connected hosts (connected wireless clients).
Note: "Bandwidth" refers to the wireless channel bandwidth instead

of wireless connection rate.
Chapter 6 DHCP
6.1 DHCP Settings
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic
configuration protocol used on IP networks. If you enable the built-in
DHCP server on the device, it will automatically configure the parameters
of TCP/IP protocol for all your LAN computers (including IP address,
subnet mask, gateway and DNS etc), eliminating the need for manual
intervention. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically”. When you
turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP
settings provided by the device.
46
Page 48
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
● DHCP Server: Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable the
device’s DHCP server feature.
● IP pool start address: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP
server’s IP assignment.
● IP pool end address: Enter the ending IP address for the DHCP
server’s IP assignment.
● Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease. Configuring a
proper lease time improves the efficiency for the DHCP server to reclaim
disused IP addresses.
6.2 DHCP Clients
This section not only displays a DHCP dynamic client list but also
includes a configurable Static DHCP assignment feature.
The DHCP client list displays IP addresses assigned by the built-in
DHCP server, MAC addresses, host names and lease time. If you would
like some devices on your network to always have fixed IP addresses,
you can manually add a static DHCP assignment entry for each such
device. You can manually add an IP address and a MAC address, and
then whenever a host with this MAC address connects to the router, it will
always get the same IP address (the one you just added). According to
the connected computer's MAC address, the router checks relevant
entries in its DHCP reservation list and decides what IP address to assign
to this host (an unused IP from DHCP IP address pool, or a reserved
one): If it fails in finding a reserved IP address for this MAC address in the
list, it will immediately assign an unused IP from its DHCP IP address
pool; and if such IP is found, it will be assigned to this host so as to
ensure that host with a static DHCP assignment always get this reserved
IP address.
47
Page 49
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
● IP Address: Enter the IP address for static DHCP assignment.
● MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a computer to always
receive the same IP address (the IP you just entered above).
● Host name: Displays the name of a computer (DHCP client).
● Lease Time: Remaining time for the corresponding IP address lease.

● Start/End Port: Enter the service port range provided by the mapped
host in internal network.
● LAN IP: The IP address of the computer which is used as a server in
LAN.
● Protocol: Includes TCP, UDP and Both. Select “Both” when you are not
sure about which protocol to use.
● Enable: Check the “Enable” option to activate the corresponding rule.
● Delete: Check the “Delete” option to delete the corresponding rule.
● For example:
You want to share some large files with your friends who are not in
your LAN; however it is not convenient to transfer such large files. Then,
you can set up your own PC as a FTP server and use the port range
forwarding feature to let your friends access these files. Provided that the
static IP address of the FTP server (Namely, your PC) is 192.168.0.10
and you want your friends to access this FTP server through default port
21 and TCP protocol, then you can follow the steps below for
configurations.
1. Enter 21 for both the start and end port in ID 1, or select "FTP"
from “Well-Known Service Port” and port 21 will be added automatically to
ID 1.
2. Enter 192.168.0.10 for the "IP Address", select "TCP" and then
select "Enable'.
3. The screenshot below displays the above settings.
49
Page 51
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
4. Click "OK".
Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in their
browsers to access your FTP server. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the device's WAN
IP address. For example, if it is 172.16.102.89, then your friends only
need to enter "ftp://172.16.102.89: 21" in their browsers.
Note: If you include port 80 on this section, you must set the port on
remote (web-based) management section to a different number than 80,
such as 8080, otherwise the virtual server feature may not take effect.
7.2 DMZ Settings
In some cases, we need to set a computer to be completely exposed
to extranet for implementation of a 2-way communication. To do so, we
set it as a DMZ host.

● For example: You can set a LAN computer at the IP address of
192.168.2.10 as a DMZ Host to intercommunicate with another host on
the Internet.
NOTE: If you set a PC to a DMZ host, it will be completely exposed
to extranet and gains no more protection from the device firewall.
7.3 UPnP Settings
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows a network device to discover
and connect to other devices on the network. With this feature enabled,
hosts in LAN can request the device to perform special port forwarding so
51

Chapter 9 Routing Settings
9.1 Routing Table
This page displays the router’s core routing table which lists
destination IP address, subnet mask, gateway, hop count and interface.
The principal task for a router is to look for an optimal transfer path
60
Page 62
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
for each data packet passing through it, and transfer it to the specified
destination. So, it’s essential for the router to select an optimal path, i.e.
routing algorithm. To complete this work, the router stores related data of
various transfer paths, i.e. establishing a routing table, for future route
selection.
9.2 Static Routing
You can use this section to set up router’s static routing feature.
● Destination Network IP Address: Enter a destination IP address or
subnet.
● Subnet Mask: Enter a Subnet Mask that corresponds to destination IP
address or subnet you entered.
● Gateway: Next-hop IP address.
NOTE:
1. Gateway IP address must be on the same subnet with the router’s
LAN/WAN IP address.
2. If you want destination network to be a single host, then you must
enter an IP address thereof and 255.255.255.255 respectively in
Destination Network IP Address and Subnet Mask boxes.
3. If you want destination network to be a network, then you must
enter an IP address and a corresponding subnet mask value respectively
in Destination Network IP Address and Subnet Mask boxes. For example,
61
Page 63
N3 11N Wireless Broadband

10.1 Time Settings
This section assists you in setting the device’s system time; you can
either select to set the time and date manually or automatically obtain the
GMT time from Internet.
62
Page 64
N3 11N Wireless Broadband
Router User Manual
NOTE: The configured time settings lose once the router is powered
off. But it obtains the GMT time automatically when you connect it to the
Internet. Features/functions based on time (e.g. security settings) take
effect only after time settings are configured manually or updated
automatically from Internet.
10.2 DDNS
Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of
Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric
IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to
Internet; the address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from
one session on the Internet to the next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric
address is inconvenient to remember; an address which changes
unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS provider
allocates a static hostname to the user; whenever the user is allocated a
new IP address this is communicated to the DDNS provider by software
running on a computer or network device at that address; the provider
distributes the association between the hostname and the address to the
Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. Thus,
uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address
may change is maintained.
63
Page 65
N3 11N Wireless Broadband

● DDNS Service: Click Enable or Disable radio button to enable/disable
the DDNS feature.
● Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop-
down menu (Dyndns or no-ip).

● For example: If you have registered a DDNS service in dyndns.org and
are allocated with tenda, 123456, tenda.dyndns.info respectively as
username, password and domain name for a web server on your PC at
192.168.0.10, then configure port settings on port range forwarding
interface under virtual server menu and enter this information on the
above DDNS interface. Others can access your web server by simply
entering http://tenda.dyndns.info in their browser address bar.

Appendix 1: Glossary
Channel
A communication channel, also known as channel, refers either to a
physical transmission medium such as a wire or to a logical connection
over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel. It is used to transfer
an information signal, such as a digital bit stream, from one or more
transmitters to one or more receivers.
If there are several APs coexisting in the same area, it is
recommended that you configure a different channel for each AP to
minimize the interference between neighboring APs. For example, if 3
American- standard APs (i.e. adopts 11 channels ) coexist in one area,
you can setup their channels respectively to 1, 6 and 11 to avoid mutual
interference.
SSID
Service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a particular 802.11
wireless LAN. It is the name of a specific wireless network. To let your
70
Page 72
N3 11N Wireless Broadband

wireless network adapter roam among different APs, you must set all Aps’
SSID to the same name.
WPA/WPA2
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i
standard. It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it
dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a
