5.1.1 LAN Interface Local Area Network (LAN) is a group of subnets regulated and ruled by router. The design of network structure is related to what type of public IP addresses coming from your ISP. This part allows you to configure the parameters for LAN which connects to the LAN port of your Access Point. IP Address: This is the IP addresses to be represented by the LAN (including WLAN) interface that is connected to the internal network.
connected with the router. DHCP Lease Time: the IP addresses given out by the DHCP server will only be valid for the duration specified by the lease time. Increasing the time ensure client operation without interrupt, but could introduce potential conflicts. Lowering the lease time will avoid potential address conflicts, but might cause more slight interruptions to the client while it will acquire new IP addresses from the DHCP server. The time is expressed in seconds.
access Internet. Since we have discussed WAN Access Type on Setup Wizard, we will mainly explain PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP and the other settings here. MTU: it means Max Transmit Unit for packet. When using slow links, large packets can cause some delays thereby increasing lag and latency. DNS: Domain Name System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address, also they may have a human-friendly, easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com.
parameters. User Name/Password: enter the User Name and Password provided by your ISP. WAN DHCP type: it’s available only for PPPoE connection. If your ISP provides an extra type to connect to a local area network such as DHCP Client/Static IP/normal PPPoE, you should select the type and enter the right parameters provided by ISP to enable the secondary connection. DNS: Domain Name System. If you select Set DNS Manually, you will have to type in the DNS address by yourself.
cause some delays thereby increasing lag and latency. Clone MAC Address: MAC address is the physical address of your computer’s network card. Generally, every network card has one unique Mac address. Since many ISPs only allow one computer in LAN to access Internet, users can enable this function to make more computers surf Internet. 5.1.2.2 PPTP You should select PPTP option if ISP provides a PPTP connection and enter the following parameters.
encapsulated links. DNS Type: If you select Set DNS Manually, you will have to type in the DNS address by yourself. It is chosen to Attain DNS by default while you select the DHCP client mode. Besides, it is Set DNS type while you select the Static IP. 5.1.2.3 L2TP You should select L2TP option if ISP provides a L2TP connection and enter the following parameters. Please refer to PPPoE configuration if there are the same parameters. 5.1.3 Alias IP Alias IP means virtual IP.
5.1.4 VLAN Settings VLAN means Virtual Local Area Network, this function provides you a very convenient way to manage hosts by grouping them based on the physical port. You can also manage the in/out rate of each port. VLANs are created to provide the segmentation services traditionally provided by routers. VLANs address issues such as scalability, security, and network management.
Enable VLAN: this option enables VLAN function. Ethernet/Wireless: specifies the WAN port and wireless AP. WAN/LAN: defines the WAN port or LAN port. Forwarding Rule: VLAN feature also support forwarding rule as bridge and NAT between LAN port and WAN port. Tag: enable the function of VLAN with tag. The router will add specific VLAN number to all packets on the LAN while sending them out. Please type the tag value and specify the priority for the packets sending by LAN.
5.2.1 Basic Settings On this page, you could configure the parameters for Wireless LAN client that may connect to your Access Point. Since we have discussed wireless settings on Setup Wizard, here we will focus on the encryption, WMM function and Data Rate. Click Multiple APs button, the multiple APs setup interface will appear. You can add other SSID for different needs. What’s more, you can setup different encryption for different SSIDs in Security Settings section. We will introduce in 5.2.
Note: This option will keep Enabled and can’t be changed by default. Data Rate This defines the data rate (in Mbps) at which the device should transmit wireless packets. You can fix a specific data rate between MCS 0 and MCS 7 also. It is recommended to use Auto option, especially if you are having trouble getting connected or losing data at a higher rate. MCS means Modulation Coding Scheme. Before 802.11n standard emerges, most Access Points complies with 802.
there are few applications that can decrypt the WEP key in less than 10 minutes. Key Length: 64-bit/128-bit, by default it is 64-bit. 64-bit—For 64 bits WEP key, either 5 ASCII characters, such as 12345 (or 10 hexadecimal digitals leading by 0x, such as 0x414234445.) 128-bit—For 128 bits WEP key, either 13 ASCII characters, such as ABCDEFGHIJKLM (or 26 hexadecimal digits leading by 0x, such as 0x4142434445464748494A4B4C4D).
3) WPA/WPA2 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is the most dominating security mechanism in industry. It is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x. WPA2 means Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, it is the current most secure method of wireless security and required for 802.11n performance. TKIP--Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is one cipher for data encryption supported by WPA.
5.2.2 Security Settings You can setup wireless security in this page. Setup different encryptions for different SSIDs so that makes your wireless network more secure. It is very practical for protecting your private information. 5.2.3 Site Survey Utility will search for wireless networks in range on all the supported channels while device is operating in Access Point mode. This page provides a tool to scan the wireless network.
5.2.4 WDS WDS means Wireless Distribution System. It is a protocol for connecting two access points wirelessly. Usually, it can be used for the following application: 1. Provide bridge traffic between two LANs though the air. 2. Extend the coverage range of a WLAN. To meet the above requirement, you must set these APs in the same channel and set MAC address of other APs which you want to communicate with in the table and then enable the WDS.
Fragment Threshold: specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. The range is 256-2346 bytes. Setting the Fragment Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. The use of fragment can increase the reliability of frame transmissions. Because of sending smaller frames, collisions are much less likely to occur. However, lower values of the Fragment Threshold will result in lower throughput as well.
IAPP：Inter-Access Point Protocol is designed for the enforcement of unique association throughout an ESS (Extended Service Set) and for secure exchange of station’s security context between current access point (AP) and new AP during handoff period. It is enabled by default. Protection: it is disabled by default. Aggregation: A part of the 802.11n standard. It allows sending multiple frames per single access to the medium by combining frames together into one larger frame.
5.2.7 WPS Settings WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) provides easy procedure to make network connection between wireless station and wireless access point with the encryption of WPA and WPA2.
