2-7-2 Advanced Wireless Settings This chapter describes advanced wireless settings. Normally there is no need to make any changes here. Unless you know that your network requires special settings, you can skip this chapter and go straight to '2-7-3 Wireless Security'. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 Items and meanings: Fragment Threshold (1): Set the Fragment threshold of wireless radio. Do not modify the default value if you don't know what it should be, default value is 2346.
DTIM Period(4): Set the DTIM period of the wireless radio. Do not modify the default value if you don't know what it should be, default value is 3. Data Rate(5): Set the wireless data transfer rate to a specific value. Since most of wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer rate automatically, it's not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after modification. N Data Rate(6): Same as above, but only for 802.11n clients.
WMM (12): Short for Wi-Fi MultiMedia, it will enhance the data transfer performance of multimedia contents when it's being transferred over wireless network. If you don't know what it is or not sure if you need it, it's safe to set this option to 'Enable'. The default setting is 'Disable'. Click 'Apply' to save the changes. Click 'Continue' to go back to the previous setup menu and to continue with the router setup. Click 'Apply' to reboot the router so the settings will take effect.
2-7-3 Wireless Security Unlike the previous chapter, which dealt with advanced settings you normally don't need to change, this chapter is of great importance. It explains how you can protect your wireless network from unauthorized access. It's very important to program the wireless security settings properly! If you don't, freeloaders may use your Internet connection without your knowledge or, worst case, hackers may gain access to your network to steal data; e.g.
2-7-3-2 WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy WEP encryption is an outdated method to secure your network. It does not meet the security standards of modern data encryption. It is not recommended to use WEP, unless you use WLAN adapters or WLAN networking devices which do not support WPA/WPA2 encryption. If your WLAN card supports WPA/WPA2, you can skip this chapter and go straight to chapter 2-7-3-3 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).
Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP keys, and you can decide which key is being used by default here. If you don't know which one you should use, select 'Key 1'. Encryption Key 1 to 4 (5-8): Input WEP key characters here. The number of characters must be the same as the number displayed n the 'Key Format' field. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if you select 'ASCII' key format. If you select 'Hex' as key the format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f, and A-F.
Some examples of WEP key (Don’t use these examples; use your own!): ASCII (5 characters): pilot ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732 Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84 To improve the security level, do not use words which can be found in a dictionary or are too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ above is a bad example and is just intended to show you how a WEP key looks).
2-7-3-3 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA): When you select this mode, the wireless router will use WPA encryption, and the following setup menu will be displayed. 1 2 3 4 5 Items and meanings: WPA Unicast Cipher Suite (2): Select a type of WPA cipher suite. Available options are: WPA (TKIP), WPA2 (AES), and WPA2 Mixed. You can select one of them, but you have to make sure your wireless clients support the cipher you selected. Pre-shared Key Format (3): Select the type of pre-shared key.
Click 'Continue' to go back to the previous setup menu and to continue with the router setup. Click 'Apply' to reboot the router so the settings will take effect. Please wait for about 30 seconds while the router is rebooting. NOTE: Some wireless clients (especially those manufactured before 2003) only support WEP or WPA (TKIP) cipher. A driver upgrade would be needed for those clients to be able to use WPA and WPA2 encryption.
Click 'Apply' (6) to save the settings. Click 'Continue' to go back to the previous setup menu and to continue with the router setup. Click 'Apply' to reboot the router so the settings will take effect.

2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Networks Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your wireless network: 1. Never use simple words for the WPA/WEP encryption passphrase. A good password cannot be found in the dictionary and consists of characters, symbols and numbers. You should also refrain from using passwords which carry a personal meaning: names of pets, names or birthdays of a wife or husband etc. These are all bad choices for a password. 2.
Chapter III Advanced Functions 3-1 Quality of Service (QoS) Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the Internet bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network compete with each other to get Internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) are being affected negatively, resulting in the interruption of video / audio transfers.
Total Upload Bandwidth (3): You can set the limit of total upload bandwidth in kbits. To disable the upload bandwidth limitation, input '0' here. Both the Total Download and Total Upload bandwidth should be specified according to the maximum performance of your Internet service. If you are not sure about these numbers, you should contact your ISP. QoS can only be effective if accurate information is provided. Current QoS Table (4): All existing QoS rules are shown here.

4-2 Troubleshooting This section helps you troubleshoot possible problems you may be experiencing with the router. Before you contact your dealer for help, you should perform the following troubleshooting steps: Scenario Router is not responding to me when I want to access it with the Web browser Can't get connected to the Internet Solution a. Check the power connection and the connection of the network cable. All cords and cables should be correctly and firmly inserted into the router. b.
WAN connection settings of the router to make sure they are set up correctly. d. Check the PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and password again. e. Call your Internet service provider and check if there's something wrong with their service. f. If you just can't connect to one or more Web sites, but you can still use other internet services, check URL/Keyword filter to make sure that you are not trying to access a blocked Web site. g. Restart your modem and the router. h.
The date and time of all event logs are wrong power adapter, disconnect the router and A/C power adapter from the utility power (make sure it's safe before you're doing this!), and call your dealer for help. a. Adjust the internal clock of the router.
4-3 Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway's IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out toward the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading 1's followed by consecutive trailing 0's, such as 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore, sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1's. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1's in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.

transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP, on the other hand, is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol. WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
