13
WEP:
Make sure that all wireless devices on your network are using the same
encryption level and key. WEP keys must consist of the letters "A" through "F"
and the numbers "0" through "9."
WPA-Preshared key
14
There are two encryption options for WPA Pre-Shared Key, TKIP and AES. TKIP
stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP utilizes a stronger encryption
method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection
against hackers. AES stands for Advanced Encryption System, which utilizes a
symmetric 128-Bit block data encryption.
To use WPA Pre-Shared Key, enter a password in the WPA Shared Key field
between 8 and 63 characters long. You may also enter a Group Key Renewal
Interval time between 0 and 99,999 seconds.
WPA Algorithms Please choose your algorithms method. You can select
between TKIP or AES.
WPA Shared Key Please input the Pre-Shared Key. The key should be 8
characters or 63 characters in alphanumeric.
Group Key Renewal Please input the period of renewal time. The default selection
is 300 seconds.
Important Notice
In order to make right use of WPA, please ensure that your current Wireless
Adapter’s driver, and Wireless Utility can support it, WPA needs 802.1x
authentication (when RADIUS mode is chosen), though the Operating System
must also support 802.1x protocol. For Microsoft’s OS family, only Windows XP
has incorporated this by default. The rest of the OS must installed 3er party’s
client software such as Funk Odyssey.
WPA RADIUS
15
WPA RADIUS uses an external RADIUS server to perform user
authentication. To use WPA RADIUS, enter the IP address of the
RADIUS server, the RADIUS Port (default is 1812) and the shared secret
from the RADIUS server.
WPA Algorithms Please choose your algorithms
method. You can select between
TKIP or AES.
Radius Server Address Please input your RADIUS Server IP
address.
RADIUS Server Port Please input the Authentication port
of your RADIUS server. The default
port being used is 1812
RADIUS Shared Key The RADIUS server will accept the
authentication if both Shared Key
matched.
Group Key Renewal Please input the period of renewal
time. The default selection is 300
seconds.

VPN Pass-Through:
Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for work-related networking.
For VPN tunnels, the Router supports IPSec Pass-Through, L2TP Pass-Through,
and PPTP Pass-Through.
• IPSec - Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to
implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec tunnels to
pass through the Router, IPSec Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable
IPSec Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to IPSec.
• L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a protocol used to tunnel Point-to-Point
Protocol (PPP) over the Internet. To allow L2TP tunnels to pass through the
Router, L2TP Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable L2TP
Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to L2TP.
• PPTP - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable VPN
sessions to a Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 server. To allow PPTP tunnels to pass
17
through the Router, PPTP
Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable PPTP Pass-Through, uncheck
the box next to PPTP.
Web Filter s: Using the Web Filters feature, you may enable up to four different
filters.
• Proxy - Use of WAN proxy servers may compromise network security.

you interact with them. To enable cookie filtering, click the box next to Cookies.
DMZ:
The DMZ hosting feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for
use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one PC. The Port
Forwarding feature is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to
have opened, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing
the computer so the Internet can see it.
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP client function
disabled and should have a new static IP address assigned to it because its IP
address may change when using the DHCP function.
1. To expose one PC, select Enable.
2. Enter the computer's IP address in the DMZ Host IP Address field.
3. Click the Apply button.

30
automatically to fulfill client’s requiremen t.
Open System:
Open System authentication is not required to be successful while a client may
decline to authenticate with any particular other client.
Shared Key:
Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key
authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who
know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared
Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key
in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism.
Transmission Rate:
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

Xpress:
This is another wireless turbo mode. If wireless network card can support such
turbo mode, then suggest to enable this function for enhance your WLAN
performance.
DTIM Interval:
This value indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM).
A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next window for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Access Point has
buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the
next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value.
Access Point Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the broadcast and
multicast messages.
Beacon Interval:
The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a
value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to
synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
User’s Guide 22
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. Should you encounter
inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are 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
31
receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS)
frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission.
Fragmentation Threshold:
This value specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented
into multiple packets. It should remain at its default setting of 2346. If you
experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increase the Fragmentation
Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor
network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended.
AP Mode or Wireless Bridge Mode:
802.11g AP Router can operate in two modes. When the AP Mode is selected,
the device operates as a normal Access Point. Proving every wireless client
station a join network point.
The Wireless Bridge Mode will be able to join different AP Router wirelessly by
input the destination MAC Address.

4.9. Virtual Server
The Virtual Server screen sets up public services on your network, such as web
servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications.
(Specialized Internet applications are any applications that use Internet access to
36
perform functions such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet
pp
applications may not require any forwarding.)
When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router
will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. Any PC whose port is being
forwarded must have its DHCP client function disabled and must have a new
static IP address assigned to it because its IP address may change when using
the DHCP function.

Port Triggering is used for
special Internet applications
whose outgoing ports differ
from the incoming ports. For
this feature, the Router will
watch outgoing data for
specific port numbers. The
Router will remember the IP
address of the computer that

sends a transmission
requesting data, so that when
the requested data returns
through the Router, the data is
pulled back to the proper
computer by way of IP address
and port mapping rules. Click

other routers. The Router determines the network
packets' route based on the fewest number of hops
between the source and destination.
To enable the Dynamic Routing feature, select
Enable. To disable the Dynamic Routing feature for
all data transmissions, keep the default setting,

5. Troubleshooting
Basic Functions
Note: If you are using a cable or DSL modem and are experiencing problems
connecting
to the Internet, follow these steps:
1. Power off your cable or DSL modem, PC, and the Router.
2. Power on your modem and wait a few minutes until the modem has
established a connection with your ISP.
3. Power on the Router.
4. Power on your PC and attempt to connect to the Internet. For most users, the
Router's default values should be satisfactory. Some users may need to enter
additional information in order to connect to the Internet through their ISP or
broadband (cable or DSL) carrier. For example, some cable providers require a
specific MAC address for connection to the Internet. To learn more about this,
click the Advanced tab and then the MAC Address Clone tab.
