12 3. Configuration 3.1 LAN Setting The screen enables you to configure the LAN & DHCP Server, set WAN parameters, create Administrator and User passwords, and set the local time, time zone, and dynamic DNS. 3.1.1 LAN & DHCP Server This page enables you to set LAN and DHCP properties, such as the host name, IP address, subnet mask, and domain name. LAN and DHCP profiles are listed in the DHCP table at the bottom of the screen. Host Name: Type the host name in the text box. The host name is required by some ISPs. The default host name is "AP-Router." IP Address: This is the IP address of the router. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. Subnet Mask: Type the subnet mask for the router in the text box. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. DHCP Server: Enables the DHCP server to allow the router to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connecting to the LAN. DHCP is enabled by default. All DHCP client computers are listed in the table at the bottom of the screen, providing the host name, IP address, and MAC address of the client.
13 Start IP: Type an IP address to serve as the start of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all LAN devices connected to the router. End IP: Type an IP address to serve as the end of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all LAN devices connected to the router. Domain Name: Type the local domain name of the network in the text box. This item is optional. 3.1.2 WAN This screen enables you to set up the router WAN connection, specify the IP address for the WAN, add DNS numbers, and enter the MAC address. Connection Type: Select the connection type, either DHCP client, Fixed IP or PPPoE from the drop-down list. WAN IP: Select whether you want to specify an IP address manually, or want DHCP to obtain an IP address automatically. When Specify IP is selected, type the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway in the text boxes. Your ISP will provide you with this information. DNS 1/2/3: Type up to three DNS numbers in the text boxes. Your ISP will provide you with this information.

17 3.2 Wireless This section enables you to set wireless communications parameters for the router's wireless LAN feature. 3.2.1 Basic This page allow you to enable and disable the wireless LAN function, create a SSID, and select the channel for wireless communications. Enable/Disable: Enables and disables wireless LAN via the router. SSID: Type an SSID in the text box. The SSID of any wireless device must match the SSID typed here in order for the wireless device to access the LAN and WAN via the router. Channel: Select a transmission channel for wireless communications. The channel of any wireless device must match the channel selected here in order for the wireless device to access the LAN and WAN via the router. Super G mode: Super G mode is disabled by selecting “Disable” from the drop list. If you like to use Super G to enhance the speed, there are three options on Super G mode: Super G without turbo; Super G with Dynamic turbo and Super G with Static turbo. Turbo mode indicates the combination of two channels to enhance the throughput. Super G without turbo indicates that it is on Super G mode without the channel’s combination. Dynamic turbo is able to automatically detect if any ‘SuperG based’ product is available. If no, the connection is via ‘normal’ G.. Static turbo means it will not go back to ‘normal’ G once it starts. Extended Range Mode: Enable and disable wireless LAN via router.
18 3.2.2 Authentication This screen enables you to set authentication type for secure wireless communications. Open System allows public access to the router via wireless communications. Shared Key requires the user to set a WEP key to exchange data with other wireless clients that have the same WEP key. This router also support WPA, WPA-PSK and 802.1X. Authentication Type: The authentication type default is set to open system. There are five options: Open System; Shared Key; WPA; WPA-PKS and 802.1X. WEP: Enable or Disabled.
