SSID Broadcast: The router will broadcast beacons that have some information, including SSID so that wireless clients can know how many AP devices by scanning the network.
Shared Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN environments. In this mode, WEP encryption is required. Auto The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.

3.1.2. NAT In this section, you can configure Virtual Server, Special AP, and DMZ settings. 3.1.2.1 Virtual Server This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP.
3.1.2.2 Special AP Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead. 1. Trigger: The outbound port number issued by the application. 2.
3.1.2.3 DMZ IP Address of DMZ Host: DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of firewall. It allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted 2-way communication for Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony and other special applications.
3.1.3. Routing If you have more than one routers and subnets, you will need to enable routing table to allow packets to find proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other. The routing table allows you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data grams. 3.1.3.1 Static Routing Static Routing: For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules.
3.1.3.2 Dynamic Routing Dynamic Routing: Routing Information Protocol (RIP) will exchange information about destinations for computing routes throughout the network. Please select RIPv2 only if you have different subnet in your network. Otherwise, please select RIPv1 if you need this protocol. Click on “Save” to store your settings or click “Undo” to give up the changes.
3.1.4. Client/Server/Proxy In this section, you can configure DHCP Server and DDNS settings. 3.1.4.1 DHCP Server 1. DHCP Server: Choose either Disable or Enable. If you enable the DHCP Server function, the following settings will be effective. 2. IP Pool Starting/Ending Address: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting / ending address of the IP address pool. 3.
Press “Fixed Mapping” and the DHCP Server will reserve the special IP for designated MAC address.
3.1.4.2 Dynamic DNS To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS). So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider. Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list in Provider field.
3.2 Advanced Network Setting This router also support many advanced network features, such as firewall, QoS, and UPnP. You can finish those configurations in this section. 3.2.1 Firewall The firewall functions include Packet Filters, Domain Filters, URL Blocking, and MAC Control. 3.2.1.1 Firewall Status This page shows all firewall rules that you have set.
3.2.1.2 Packet Filters Packet Filter includes both outbound filter and inbound filter. And they have same way to setting. Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter applies on all outbound packets. However, inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies: 1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules 2.
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses. For destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). An empty implies all port addresses. Packet Filter can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule. Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
3.2.1.3 Domain Filters Domain Filter prevents users under this device from accessing specific domains. 1. Domain Filter: Check if you want to enable Domain Filter. 2. Log DNS Query: Check if you want to log the action when someone accesses the specific Internet domains. 3. Privilege IP Address Range: Setting a group of hosts and privilege these hosts to access network without restriction. 4. Domain Suffix: A suffix of URL can be restricted, for example, ".com", "xxx.com". 5.
3.2.1.4 URL Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect with pre-define Websites. The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is Domain filter require user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword. 1. URL Blocking: Check if you want to enable URL Blocking. 2.
3.2.1.5 MAC Address Control MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP address to a certain MAC address. 1. MAC Address Control: Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this page will take effect only when “Enable” is checked. 2. Connection control: Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless clients can connect with this device.
3.2.1.6 Others 1. Discard PING from WAN side: When this feature is enabled, any host on the WAN cannot ping this product. 2. DoS Attack Detection: When this feature is enabled, the router will detect and log the DoS attack comes from the Internet. Currently, the router can detect the following DoS attack: SYN Attack, WinNuke, Port Scan, Ping of Death, Land Attack etc. Click on “Save” to store your settings or click “Undo” to give up the changes.
3.2.2 QoS Provide different priorities to different users or data flows, or guarantee a certain level of performance. 1. QOS Control: Check Enable to enable this function. 2. Bandwidth of Upstream: Set the limitation of upstream bandwidth 3. Local IP : Ports: Define the Local IP address and ports of packets 4. Remote IP : Ports: Define the Remote IP address and ports of packets 5. QoS Priority: This defines the priority level of the current Policy Configuration.
3.2.3 Management 3.2.3.1 UPnP The device supports the UPnP function. If the OS of your client computer supports this function, and you enabled it, like Windows XP, you can see the following icon when the client computer gets IP from the device.
3.2.3.2 SNMP SNMP, the Simple Network Management Protocol, is a protocol designed to give a user the capability to remotely manage a computer network by polling and setting terminal values and monitoring network events. This device can support SNMP v1 and v2c 1. Enable SNMP: You must check “Local”, “Remote” or both to enable SNMP function. If “Local” is checked, this device will response request from LAN. If “Remote” is checked, this device will response request from WAN. 2.
3.3 System 3.3.1 System Information This page will show current WAN type, and system time. 3.3.2 System Status 3.3.2.1 Web Log You can view the System Information and System log, and download/clear the System log, in this page.
3.3.2.2 Syslog With enabling Syslog function, this device will send log to certain host periodically. You need to install a syslog utility on a host to receive syslogs. IP Address for Sys log: Host IP of destination where sys log will be sent to. Check Enable to enable this function. 3.3.2.3 E-mail Alert This page support two methods to export system logs to specific destination by means of syslog (UDP) and SMTP(TCP). 1.
