5.2.6 WPS

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easy way to establish a secured wireless network between RB-1732 Broadband Router and wireless card. Users do not need to manually entering a creative, yet predictable security key on both Wi-Fi devices to prevent unwanted access to their wireless network. With WPS, it can automatically configure a wireless network with a network name (SSID) and strong WPA data encryption and authentication.

WPS can be enabled by 2 methods:

1. PBC (Push button configuration) Method, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or a virtual one, on both WPS devices to connect.

2. PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method, in which a PIN has to be taken either from a sticker label or from the web interface of the WPS device. This PIN will then be entered in the AP or client WPS device to connect.

Please follow instructions below to enable the WPS function.

Start PBC:

(1.) Press the WPS button from RB-1732 Broadband Router or click Start PBC from menu “Wi-Fi Protected Setup”, and waiting for the WPS wireless card setting. http://www.sapido.com.tw 74 USER MANUAL V1.0

5.3 NAT

NAT is a method of mapping one or more IP addresses and/or services ports into different specified services, where NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It allows the internal

IP addresses of many computers on a Local Area Network (LAN) to be translated to one public address, saving users’ cost. It also plays a security role by obscuring the true IP addresses of important machines from potential hackers on the Internet. For convenience, we called a router having the NAT facility as a NAT-enabled router.

5.3.1 Visual Server

5.4.1 QoS

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various technologies, including Frame Relay, Asynchronous

Transfer Mode (ATM), Ethernet and 802.1x networks, and IP-routed networks that may use any or all of these underlying technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics. Also important is making sure that providing priority for one or more flows does not make other flows fail. QoS technologies provide the elemental building blocks that will be used for future business applications in campus, WAN and service provider networks. This chapter provides each setting of QoS. http://www.sapido.com.tw 82 USER MANUAL V1.0

※ Notice: Make sure that you always click on the Apply button after configuring each setting. And in order to let other LAN ports work properly, please reboot

your PC.

3. Q: I don’t know how to configure DHCP.

A: DHCP is commonly used in the large local network. It allows you to manage and distribute IP addresses from 2 to 254 throughout your local network via RB-1732

Broadband Router. Without DHCP, you would have to configure each computer separately. It’s very troublesome. Please Open Internet browser > Input

192.168.1.1 in the website blank field > Select DHCP Server under the IP Config

Menu. For more information, please refer to 3.3.2 (Router Mode) or 4.3.1 (AP Mode).

4. Q: How do I upgrade the firmware of RB-1732 Broadband Router? http://www.sapido.com.tw 113 USER MANUAL V1.0

A: Periodically, a new Flash Code is available for RB-1732 Broadband Router on your product supplier’s website. Ideally, you should update RB-1732 Broadband Router’s

Flash Code using Upgrade Firmware on the System Management menu of

RB-1732 Broadband Router Settings.

5. Q: My RB-1732 Broadband Router cannot connect to the ISP?

A: There are three possible solutions.

1. Check the Cable/XDSL modem is power on.

2. Check the Cable/XDSL link light is on to verify a good physical connection.

3. Check the WAN port LED to verify if the Cable/XDSL modem is connected to the router:

If your ISP Login method is following, please make sure the username and password are correct or not.

If your ISP is using dynamic IP addressing (DHCP) then the DHCP protocol does not have the authentication feature. Some Cable service providers often use the following to determine user’s identification.

6. Q: Why is that I can ping to outside hosts, but cannot access Internet websites?

A: Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS servers settings from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove any DNS IP address setting. As the router assign the DNS settings to the DHCP-client-enabled PC.

7. Q: RB-1732 Broadband Router couldn’t save the setting after click on Apply button?

A: RB-1732 Broadband Router will start to run after the setting finished applying, but the setting isn’t written into memory. Here we suggest if you want to make sure the setting would be written into memory, please reboot the device via Reboot under

System Management directory. http://www.sapido.com.tw 114 USER MANUAL V1.0

7.6 Wireless LAN

1. Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?

A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up, particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go over some of more common ones.

For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it can provide this unique identifier. This is similar to the function of your network's

Workgroup or Domain name.

When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep things simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP encryption you might have configured.

Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared key. A

HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This key identifies the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this network. Different manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways that might prevent them from working correctly with another vendor's products. So pay attention to detail is going to be the key to a successful installation.

Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default channel can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm that the router has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If not, the NIC won't be able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few access points that offer DHCP services but do not assign all of the needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I was able to connect to the network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't assume anything. Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being received by the workstation.

Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the same room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to minimize potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams. http://www.sapido.com.tw 115 USER MANUAL V1.0

2. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.

A: Check the following:

Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure

Mode.)

The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup” does NOT match

“workgroup”.

Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for

WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP disabled.

If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled, and the key must match.

If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to selected

Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been selected, or access will be blocked.

To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.

3. Q: Wireless connection speed is very slow.

A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with following:

Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access

Point.

Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement.

Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any “noisy” devices should be shielded or relocated.

RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Access Point.

4. Q: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router. http://www.sapido.com.tw 116 USER MANUAL V1.0

A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.

Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function.

This should work with almost every application, but:

It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.

Only one (1) PC can use this feature.

5. Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.

A: Check the following:

The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON.

Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment.

If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it.

If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP

Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the

Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In

Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
