3.5 Wireless Settings
This device can let all wireless nodes (PC, Smart Phone, etc.) equipped with
a IEEE802.11/b/g/n wireless network adapter connect to your Intranet.
3.5.1 Basic Settings
You should configure at minimum the Wireless settings for communication, such as Network
Name (SSID) and Channel.
Network Name (SSID): The name of a wireless local area network (WLAN). All
wireless devices on a WLAN must employ the same SSID in order to communicate
with each other. The SSID is a case sensitive text string and is made up of a
sequence of alphanumeric characters (letters or numbers). SSID’s have a maximum
length of 32 characters. The default SSID of this device is Wireless Router,
but it is recommended strongly that you change your SSID to a different SSID name.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID): The router automatically transmit SSID into the
airwaves at regular intervals (every few seconds). This feature allow clients to
dynamically discover and roam between WLANs. However, this feature also makes
it easier for hackers to break into your network. Because SSIDs are not encrypted or
otherwise scrambled, It becomes easy to grab one by snooping the WLAN looking
for SSID broadcast messages coming from the router or WAP. Knowing your SSID
brings hackers one step closer to a successful intrusion, you may want to disable
this feature to improve the security of your WLAN. Once your wireless clients are
manually configured with the right SSID, they no longer require these broadcast
messages.
Frequency (Channel): This field determines which operating frequency will be
used. It is not necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice
interference problems with another nearby access point.All devices in the same
wireless LAN should use the same channel.
3.5.2Advanced wireless settings
These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient

knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you
know what effect the changes will have on yourAccess Point.
Beacon Interval: Beacon frames are transmitted by an access point at regular
intervals to announce the existence of the wireless network. The default behavior is
to send a beacon frame once every 100 milliseconds (or 10 per second).
Data Beacon Rate (DTIM): Indicates rate that the access point will advertise to the
network for the purposes of setting up communication with other APs and client
stations on the network. It is generally more efficient to have anAP broadcast a
subset of its supported rate sets.
Fragment Threshold: Setting the Fragment Threshold can limit the size of packets
(frames) transmitted over the network. If a packet exceeds the fragmentation
threshold set here, the fragmentation function will be activated and the packet will
be sent as multiple 802.11 frames. The default is 2346.
RTS Threshold: The RTS threshold specifies the packet size of a request to send
(RTS) transmission. This helps control traffic flow through the access point,
especially one with a lot of clients. The default is 2347
TX Power: Set from l - 100 to control the RF output power. This controls the distance of the
RF signal transmitted.
3.5.3 WirelessAccess Security setup
Setup the wireless security and encryption to prevent unauthorized access and
monitoring. It is recommended strongly that you choose this option to encrypt your
wireless network. The Security mode supports WEP(Open/Shared/Auto),
WPA/WPA- PSK/WPA 2/WPA 2-PSK. You must setup the same security
parameters both on your router and the wireless client devices.
3.5.3.1 WEP(Open/Shared/Auto)
WEP is a protocol that adds security to WLAN based on the 802.11b standard . WEP
was designed to give wireless networks the equivalent level of privacy protection as
a comparable wired network.As per figure 16 below, You can pre-set 4 WEP keys. The format
can beASCII or Hex string, Only the key you selected in the Default Key setting will be used.

3.5.3.2 WPA/WPA-PSK/WPA2/WPA2-PSK
WPA provides significantly stronger wireless data encryption than WEP.
Refer to fig. 7 in 3.2.6(page 8). You can choice a Security Mode from:
WPA/WPA-PSK/WPA 2/WPA 2-PSK then choice a WPAAlgorithm from:
TKIP orAES. TKIP is only for 802.11 b/g (54Mbps max). For faster connection
speeds greater than 54Mbps, select AES or TKIP WPA algorithms.
If WPA or WPA2 is to be selected, you must Enter the settings of the
Radius Server (lP address, Port, etc.).
If WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK is to be selected, you must input a Pass Phrase.
Radius Server: In WPA authentication mode, the keys can be managed using two
different mechanisms: WPA can either use an external authentication server (e.g.
RADIUS) and EAP like IEEE802.1x, or pre-shared keys without the need
for additional servers(as above WPA-PSK,WPA2-PSK.. .).
3.5.4 WPS setting
WPS (WiFi Protected Setup) can help you quickly and easily setup the connection
between the router and clients. Using the WPS function, you do not need to select the
Security mode and set the Encryption Key. You just need to input the correct PIN code or
select the PBC (or press the WPS button on the front panel) to setup WPS.
Select Wireless Settings: Select WPS in the main menu to enter the WPS setting page as
In figure 17:

WPS: Enable or Disable the WPS function. The default is Disable.
WPS mode: You can set the WPS mode in WPS Progress section, There are two modes
for your selection: PIN code or PBC (Push-Button Configuration).
PIN mode: If you select the PIN mode WPS, you must know the PIN code of the client
node and input the PIN into the PIN field. You also can press the Generate button in the WPS
Summary field to generate a PIN code as the common PIN code for the router and clients.
The router and clients must use the same PIN code.
PBC mode: Select PBC then pressApply, or push the WPS button on the front
panel for about l second. Use the WPS/PBC mode in client nodes to connect with the router.
WPS button operation: After you push the WPS button for 1 second, the WPS indicator will blink
for about 2 minutes. This means the WPS is sending out signals during this period of time.
The client device can authenticate by WPS/PBC function during this time.
After a successful connection, the WPS indicator will shut off. You can repeat this step
For up to 32 client connections.
WPS Status:
Idle - WPS service is in standby.
Start MAC process - WPS access has started and is waiting for clients connect.
Configured - Client has authenticated successfully and connected.
Reset OOB:After you press this button, the WPS server will go to the Idle status.
The WPS indicator will shut off. The AP will not respond to any WPS request from the clients
The system will set the Security mode into WPA.
3.5.5 Wireless Station list
Select Wireless Settings, then select Station List in the main menu, and view the Station list table
as indicated in figure 18. Here you can monitor the client stations which are associated with the
Router through this table.

3.6 Firewall
The system provided firewall functions include: MAC/IP/Port filtering,
Content Filtering, Port Forwarding, System Security and DMZ, to help prevent your
network from a hacker attack or to limit some clients' access.
3.6.1 MAC/IP/Port Filtering
Select Firewall, then MAC/IP/Port Filtering from the main menu to enter the page
as indicated in figure 19. Input the MAC address or IP address and Port range into
the corresponding fields. Select a Protocol you want to filter, and select the action
of Drop orAccept, then click Apply. The setting will append to the Current MAC
IP Port filtering rules in system table. Repeating this step, you can set all the
filter rules you want into this table. After your finished, access from the Internet
or LAN that matches the rules in the table will be Dropped or Accepted depending
on the correspondingAction setting thus limiting the clients' access.
3.6.2 Port Forwarding (Virtual Server)
If you configure the router for Virtual Server use, remote users accessing services such
as the Web or FTP at your local site via a public IP address can be automatically
redirected to local servers configured within your private IP addresses. In other words,
depending on the requested server (TCP/UDP port number), the router redirects the
external service request to the appropriate server.
Before using Virtual Server, You should add a static IP address to the designated
PC. You can add a Virtual Server by using the interface in figure 20:

1. Select Virtual Server Settings to Enable;
2. Enter the IP address of the Virtual Server into the IPAddress field;
3. Enter the Port range you want to forward into the Port Range field;
4. Select a Protocol of TCP, UDP, or TCP&UDP;
5. Enter the Service name into the Comment field;
Once done, click Apply to add into the Current Virtual Servers in the system table.
Repeat the above steps to add up to 32 Virtual Server settings.
You can select any current entry under Current Virtual Servers in the system table,
then click the Delete Selected button to delete it.
3.6.3 DMZ
If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application properly from behind
the NAT firewall or after configuring the Virtual Server, then you can open the client up
to unrestricted two-way Internet access.
Set the DMZ Settings to Enable, Enter the IP address of a DMZ host in the DMZ IP
Address field, then click theApply button.
Adding a client to the DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) may expose your local network to a
variety of security risks. Evaluate this option carefully prior to using.
3.6.4 System Security
You may configure the system firewall to help prevent the AP/Router from an attack.
Click Firewall, then System Security from main menu. Enter the page as per figure 22.
