Client.

Wireless Function

Enable or Disable Wireless function here. Click Apply and wait for module to be ready & loaded.

Basic Settings

Band Allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You can also select B+G+n mode to allow 80211b , 802.11g and 802.11n clients at the same time.

ESSID This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the devices in the same wireless LAN should have the same ESSID.

Channel Number The channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same wireless LAN should use the same channel.

Advanced Settings

This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon

Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on the router.

Fragment Threshold "Fragment Threshold" specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance.

RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller then the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

Beacon Interval is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network.

DTIM period is a countdown mechanism for WLAN Access Points changing this value will affect your wireless performance and may improve stability.

Preamble Type The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance.

Broadcast ESSID If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.

WMM WiFi Multi Media if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in applications.

Security

This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE 802.11x, IEEE 802.11x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function, and are setup with the same security key.

Disable

When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate WL-346.

WEP

When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys.

Key Length You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower.

Key Format You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or

Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key.

Key1 - Key4 The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device.

64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or

5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit

Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys.

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.

You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply to apply the settings and reboot the device.

WPA Pre-shared Key

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available.

WPA-Radius

Wi-Fi Protected Access ( WPA ) is an advanced security standard. You can use an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP

( AES ) to change the encryption key frequently. Press Apply button when you are done.

ACL

This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network.

Enable wireless access control Enables the wireless access control function

Adding an address into the list Enter the "MAC Address" of the wireless station to be added and then click "Apply". The wireless station will now be added. If you are having any difficulties filling in the fields, just Clear the MAC

Address .

12 Firewall Settings

The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).

Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply

DMZ

If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host.

The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port

IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server.

Enable DMZ Enable/disable DMZ

Public IP Address The IP address of the WAN port or any other Public IP addresses given to you by your ISP

Client PC IP Address Fill in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above.

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.

Denial of Service (DoS)

The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including

Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log the events.

SPI and Anti-Dos firewall protection blocks basic hacker attacks (DOS,

Sync flood, port scan)

RIP defect

Discard Ping to WAN interface The router’s WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests

Stateful packet inspection allows the user to manually determine which packets should be scanned.

After you enable the UPnP feature, all client systems that support UPnP, like

Windows XP, can discover this router automatically and access the Internet through this router without having to configure anything. The NAT Traversal function provided by UPnP can let applications that support UPnP connect to the internet without having to configure the virtual server sections.

QoS

QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with a smaller priority number has a higher priority; the rule with a larger priority number has a lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down.
