This IP address is  also  to  be  used  to  access  the  device’s settings  through a  web  browser.  Most  of the default  settings  work  in  most  cases.  However,  if  your  access  point  is  part  of  a  more complex LAN network, then modify the settings to meet the requirements of your network based on the explanation of the various fields. Address Mode-Static IP:  Manually  specify  the  Static  IP information (LAN IP address, subnet  mask,  gateway,  DNS  server  address)  that  corresponds  with  your  existing networking equipment. Address Mode-Dynamic IP: Select it if you already have an active DHCP server on your existing network. The wireless access point gets its IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway settings automatically from the DHCP server on your network when you connect the access point to your existing network.
  11   Tip   1) Default  IP  address  and  subnet  mask  are  respectively  192.168.0.254  and 255.255.255.0. 2) Be sure to make a note of any changes you apply to this page. If you change the LAN IP address of this device, you have to update your PC’s TCP/IP settings and open a new connection to the new IP address and then log in again.   3 DHCP Server This section includes the following: 3.1 DHCP Server: Configure DHCP server settings. 3.2 DHCP Client List: View the information of the DHCP clients that currently obtain IP addresses from the DHCP server.   3.1 DHCP Server DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) assigns an IP address to each device on
  12 the  LAN/private  network.  When  you  enable  the  DHCP  Server,  the  DHCP  Server  will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP  address pool specified  in this screen to the requesting device as long as the device is set to "Obtain an IP Address Automatically".  If  you  disable  this  feature,  you  have  to  manually  configure  the  TCP/IP settings for all PCs on your LAN to access Internet. Click DHCP Server to enter the configuration screen.    To set up the DHCP Server: 1) Enable the DHCP Server. 2) Specify  the  starting  and  ending  address  of  the  IP address pool.

  14 4.1 Basic Settings Here you can configure the basic wireless settings of the device such as the SSID (name of the network) and security.  Basic information  SSID: Select the SSID you wish to use. This is the public name of your wireless network. Two SSIDs are supported. Enable: Select whether to enable the selected SSID. Broadcast SSID: This option allows you to have your network names (SSIDs) publicly broadcast or if you choose to disable it, the SSIDs will be hidden. To join your hidden wireless network, you must enter the SSID manually. AP Isolation: Isolates clients connecting to this SSID. Maximum Clients: Set the number of wireless clients that can join your wireless network. When the number of wireless clients reaches the set value, new connections to this SSID will be denied. SSID: This field is configurable. You can change the current SSID.   Security Mode: Configure  security settings for  the current SSID.  This device supports WEP, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed, WPA and WPA2 (To learn more,
  15 read the following).   WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): WEP is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks. Introduced as part of the original 802.11 standard, its intention was to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Wireless speed can reach up to 54Mbps if WEP is used. Open,  Shared  and  802.1x  are  the  same  in  encryption  progression  yet  different  in authentication mode. Open: Uses "no authentication" + WEP Encryption. Wireless clients can be associated with  the  device  without  going  through  authentication.  Only  data  in  transmission  is encrypted with WEP encryption. Shared: Uses shared key authentication + WEP Encryption. A WEP key that is mutually agreed in advance is required from both sides while wireless clients try to associate with the device. Association is established only if the two sides provide the same WEP key. 802.1x: Adopts802.1x identity authentication + WEP encryption mode. The supplicant (i.e., client device) is not allowed to access through the authenticator to the protected side of
  16 the  network  until  the  supplicant’s  identity  has  been  validated  and  authorized.  If authentication is successful, the authenticator sets the port to the "authorized" state and normal traffic is allowed, if it is unsuccessful the port remains in the "unauthorized" state and blocks traffic. Default Key: Specify a WEP key from the preset keys for current use. For example, if you select Key 2, wireless clients must join your wireless network using this Key 2.  WEP-802.1x Configuration Procedures:  SSID:  This is  the  public name  of  your  wireless  network. Select  the SSID  you  wish  to configure from the drop-down list. Security Mode: Select WEP.     Encryption Mode: Select 802.1X. Radius Server: Enter the IP address of Radius server on your LAN. Radius Port: Enter the Authentication port for the Radius server on your LAN. Radius Key: Enter the Authentication key for the Radius server. WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK WPA:  The  WPA  protocol  implements  the  majority  of  the  IEEE  802.11i  standard.  It enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a
  17 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to prevent data packets from being tampered  with.  Only  authorized  network  users  can access  the wireless  network.  WPA adopts enhanced encryption algorithm over WEP. WPA2: WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. It is more secure than WPA and WEP.  Security Mode: Supports WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed. WPA-PSK: Supports AES and TKIP cipher types. WPA2-PSK: Supports AES, TKIP and TKIP+AES cipher types. WPA/WPA2-PSK mixed: If selected, both WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK secured wireless clients can join your wireless network. Cipher Type: Includes AES, TKIP and TKIP&AES. AES: If selected, wireless speed can reach up to 300Mbps. TKIP: If selected, wireless speed can reach up to 54Mbps. TKIP+AES: If selected, both AES and TKIP secured wireless clients can join your wireless network. Key Update Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed.
  18  Configuration Procedures: 1) SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. Select the SSID you wish to configure from the drop-down list. 2) Security Mode: Select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or WPA/WPA2-PSK Mixed. 3) Cipher Type: Select the cipher type you wish to use. 4) Key: Enter a security key. WPA, WPA2 The Wi-Fi Alliance defined the WPA/WPA2 in response to weaknesses found in WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK in key management. It uses 802.1x to authenticate users and generate a root key for encrypting data instead of using a manually set pre-shared key. With  802.1X  authentication,  the  supplicant  provides  credentials,  such  as  user name/password or digital certificate, to the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the  credentials  to  the  authentication  server  for  verification.  If the  authentication  server determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client device) is allowed to access resources  located  on  the  protected  side  of  the  network.  Data  transmission  over  the wireless network is encrypted with dynamic keys assigned by the Radius server, which greatly enhances security. WPA/WPA2 becomes the most preferred security mode with its offered better security.
  19   Configuration Procedures: 1) SSID: This is the public name of your wireless network. Select the SSID you wish to configure from the drop-down list. 2) Security Mode: Select WPA or WPA2. 3) RADIUS Server: Enter the IP address of Radius server on your LAN. 4) RADIUS Port: Enter the Authentication port for the Radius server on your LAN. 5) RADIUS Key: Enter the Authentication key for the Radius server. 6) Cipher Type: Select the cipher type you wish to use. 4.2 Radio Click Wireless -> Radio to enter the configuration screen.

Channel: Select a channel or select Auto to let system automatically select one for your wireless network to operate on if you are unsure. The best selection is a channel that is the least used by neighboring networks. Channel  Bandwidth:  Select  a  proper  channel  bandwidth  to  enhance  wireless performance. This option is available only in 802.11b/g/n. Wireless speed in the channel bandwidth of 20/40 is 2 times in 20.
  21 Extension Channel: This is used to ensure N speeds for 802.11n devices on the network. This option is available in 11b/g/n mixed mode with channel bandwidth of 20/40. WMM-Capable: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enabling this option may better stream wireless multimedia data (such as video or audio). ASPD Capable: Auto power saving mode. This option is effective only if WMM is enabled. It is advisable to keep it disabled. 4.3 Advanced Settings Here you can configure the  advanced wireless settings including AP Isolation, Beacon interval,  Fragment  threshold,  RTS  threshold  and  DTIM  interval,  etc,  for  your  wireless networks. Normally, the default settings will work. If not, change them according to the suggestions given by your ISP or our technical staff. Click Wireless -> Advanced to enter the configuration interface. Note   Only change the default settings if instructed by your ISP or our technical staff. Wrong configurations may degrade your wireless performance.   Beacon Interval: A time interval between any two consecutive Beacon packets sent by an Access  Point  to  synchronize  a  wireless  network.  The  valid  value  range  is  between
  22 20~999. Fragment  Threshold:  Specify  a  Fragment  Threshold  value.  Any  wireless  packet exceeding the preset value will be divided into several fragments before transmission. The valid value range is between 256~2346. RTS Threshold: If a packet exceeds the set value, RTS/CTS scheme will be used  to reduce  collisions.  Set  it  to  a  smaller  value  provided  that  there  are  distant  clients  and interference. For normal SOHO, it is recommended to keep the default value unchanged; otherwise,  device  performance  may  be  degraded.  The  valid  value  range  is  between 1~2347. DTIM  Interval:  A  DTIM  (Delivery  Traffic  Indication  Message)  Interval  is  a  countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When such packets arrive in the router’s buffer, the router will send DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) and DTIM interval to alert clients of the receiving packets. Wireless LED: Select to turn on or off the wireless LED. Preamble: There are two types of preambles: long preamble and short preamble. The preamble signals to the receiving node that data is incoming and indicates when the data flow is about to begin. For wireless transmission, the longer the preamble is, the less the data is. So support of a short preamble can boost the transmission efficiency of a wireless interface. Support of short preamble is optional for 802.11b yet a must for 802.11g.   4.4 Access Control Specify a list of devices to permit or forbid a connection to your wireless network via the devices’  MAC Addresses.  Click Wireless -> Access Control to enter the configuration screen.
