12 Wireless Settings You can set parameters that are used for the wireless stations to connect to this router. The parameters include Mode, ESSID, Channel Number and Associated Client. Wireless Function Enable or Disable Wireless function here. Click Apply and wait for module to be ready and loaded.
Basic Settings Band Allows you to set the AP fixed at 802.11b or 802.11g mode. You can also select B+G mode to allow 80211b and 802.11g clients at the same time. SSID This is the name of the wireless signal which is broadcasted. All the devices in the same wireless LAN should have the same SSID. Channel The channel used by the wireless LAN. All devices in the same wireless LAN should use the same channel.
Advanced This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included are, 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.
Channel Bandwidth is the range of frequencies that will be used. Preamble Type The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance. CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations.
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 the WLR-2100/3100. WPA Radius IEEE 802.
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.
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.
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" and "Comment" of the wireless station to be added and then click "Add". The wireless station will now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below.
WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and WPS will do the rest for you. The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS via PIN code.
SSID This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router. Authentication Mode It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless connection. Passphrase Key It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by the wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information when using a device which doesn’t support WPS. WPS via Push Button Press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless devices within 2 minutes.
13 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).
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.
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. Ping of Death Protections from Ping of Death attack Discard Ping From WAN The router’s WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests Port Scan Protects the router from Port Scans. Sync Flood Protects the router from Sync Flood attack.
Access You can restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications/services (e.g. Internet websites, email, FTP etc.), Access Control allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your LAN. You can control which PC client can have access to these services. Deny If you select “Deny” then all clients will be allowed to access Internet accept for the clients in the list below. Allow If you select “Allow” then all clients will be denied to access Internet accept for the PCs in the list below.
Filter client PC by MAC Check “Enable MAC Filtering” to enable MAC Filtering. Add PC Fill in “Client PC MAC Address” and “Comment” of the PC that is allowed to access the Internet, and then click “Add”. If you find any typo before adding it and want to retype again, just click "Reset" and the fields will be cleared. Remove PC If you want to remove some PC from the "MAC Filtering Table", select the PC you want to remove in the table and then click "Delete Selected".

Enable URL Blocking Enable/disable URL Blocking Add URL Keyword Fill in “URL/Keyword” and then click “Add”. You can enter the full URL address or the keyword of the web site you want to block.
14 Advanced Settings Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single Public IP Address or multiple Public IP Addresses. NAT provides Firewall protection from hacker attacks and has the flexibility to allow you to map Private IP Addresses to Public IP Addresses for key services such as Websites and FTP. Select Disable to disable the NAT function.
Port Range The range of ports to be forward to the private IP. Comment description of this setting. Add Port Forwarding Fill in the "Private IP", “Type”, “Port Range” and "Comment" of the setting to be added and then click "Add".
