4.2 Wireless Security This section allows you to secure your wireless network and block unauthorized accesses and malicious packet sniffing. To encrypt your wireless network, do as follows: 1. Select the wireless network (SSID) you wish to encrypt. 2. Disable WPS. (WPS is enabled on the router by default. If you want to use other security modes, you must first disable the WPS.) 3. Select a proper security mode and cipher type (also known as WPA Algorithm or WPA Encryption Type).
WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes it easy for home users who know little of wireless security to establish a 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. Operation Instructions: PBC: To use WPS-PBC, try two ways below: 1.
PIN: On the wireless security page, enable WPS, select PIN and enter the 8-digit PIN code from network adapter; then, within 2 minutes, enable WPS/PIN on the client device; Note: 1. With WPS successfully enabled, the WPS LED on the router keeps blinking for about 2 minutes, and during this time, you can enable WPS on a wireless adapter; if the adapter successfully joins the wireless network, the WPS LED will display a solid light. Repeat steps above if you want to add more wireless adapters to the router.
Note: 1. To use the WPS security, the wireless client must be also WPS-capable. 2. Before you press the hardware WPS button on the device for WPS/PBC connection, making sure the WPS feature has been enabled on the device.

Chapter 6 Special Applications 6.1 Port Range Forwarding Port range forwarding is useful for web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, gaming and other specialized Internet applications. When you enable port forwarding, the communication requests from the Internet to your router’s WAN port will be forwarded to the specified LAN IP address. As seen in the figure above, to let PC3 access service ports on PC1, you must first configure port forwarding settings on the router to which PC1 is uplinked.
1. Start/End Port: Specify a range of ports between 1~65535 (for a single port, enter the port number in both Start and End fields, say, 21 for FTP). Contact corresponding service provider if you don't know the port number of the service to use. 2. LAN IP: Specify the internal host’s IP address. Be sure to statically assign the host’s IP address to make this function constant.
3. Protocol: Specify the protocol required for the service utilizing the port(s). 4. Enable: Check to enable current settings. 5. OK: Click to activate your settings. 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 router's WAN IP address. Assuming it is 172.16.102.89, and then your friends need to enter ftp://172.16.102.89：21 in their browsers.
6.2 DMZ Host The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for one device for a special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing. Enabling DMZ host may expose your local network to potential attacks. So it is advisable to use it with caution. 1. DMZ Host IP Address: The IP Address of the device for which the router’s firewall will be disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP address of that device for this function to be consistent. 2.
6.3 DDNS Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. 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").
1. DDNS Service: Select to enable/disable the DDNS feature. 2. Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop-down menu. (Here you can see a list of available service providers.
