PortableRouter
PAGE 19 OF 44
stands for any combination of hexadecimal digits(0-9, a-f, A-F) in the specified length.
¾Default Key ID: Index number, default is Key1.
¾Key1-Key4-Respectively, corresponding to the key areas of the input.
3.2.3 Advanced Settings
Choose Wireless Settings > Advanced Settings menu, you can configure the advanced
settings of your wireless network, the page as follows:
¾BG Protection Mode: There are on, off or Auto.
¾Fragment Threshold: This value is the maximum size determining whether packets
will be fragmented, setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor
network performance since excessive packets.2346 is the default setting and is
recommended.
¾RTS: Threshold-Here you can specify the RTS(Request to Send)threshold
if the packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will send RTS
frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the
sending of a data frame. The default value is 2347.
¾Beacon: Enter a value between 20 and 999 for Beacon Interval here, the beacons are
the packets sent by the router to synchronize a wireless network. Beacon Interval
value determines the time interval of the beacons. The default value is 100.
¾DTIM: This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of the next windows for
listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router has buffered
broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value, you can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon Intervals. The
default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM interval is the same as Beacon Interval.

PortableRouter
PAGE 20 OF 44
¾RF Power: Indicates the Power capacity of broadcasting the SSID, the greater the
value, the stronger the single the default value is 100 (maximum).
3.2.4 MAC Filter
This function is use to control the wireless clients access the Internet via wireless MAC
address. The page as follows:
¾Filter Mode: There are three options: Disable, Only Allow, Only Deny, default value is
Disable, Disable shows that the MAC filtering function is invalid.
zOnly Allow -Those wireless MAC clients already added to the list can access the
Internet.
zOnly Deny - Those wireless MAC clients already added to the list can not access the
Internet.
¾MAC Address: The wireless station’s MAC address that you want to filter.
¾User Name: A simple description of the wireless station.
For example: If you desire the wireless station with MAC address 00:03:25:5A:19:CE,
(username is Gateway) is able to access the router, but other wireless stations cannot
access the router, do as follows:
1. Select “Only Allow” in Filter Mode box.
2. Enter MAC Address in Client MAC Address box
3. Enter “Gateway” in Notes box.
4. Click the Add To List button to add the entry.
