4.4 Wired LAN Configuration Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can communicate with each other and access internet, they must have a valid IP address. There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically.
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t worry! We will provide recommended setup values below. Please follow the following instructions to set wired LAN parameters: Please click ‘LAN’ menu on the left of web management interface, there are three setup groups here: ‘LAN IP’, ‘DHCP Server’, and ‘Static DHCP Leases Table’. Here are setup instructions for each of them: LAN IP section: IP address: Please input the IP address of this router.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between wireless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have to select encryption mode and input a long encryption passphrase every time when you need to setup a wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless client and this wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you. This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code.
Enable WPS: Check this box to enable WPS function, uncheck it to disable WPS. Wi-Fi Protected Setup Information: WPS-related system information will be displayed Setup Information here: 1. WPS Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set, you’ll see ‘Configured’ message here. If wireless security function has not been set, you’ll see ‘unConfigured’. 2. Self PIN code: This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless router.
4.6 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 will compete with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like the interruption of video / audio transfer.
All existing QoS rules will be displayed here. Add: Click ‘add’ button to add a new QoS rule, see ‘Add a new QoS rule’ below. Edit: If you want to modify the content of a specific rule, please check the ‘select’ box of the rule you want to edit, then click ‘Edit’ button. Only one rule should be selected a time!

If you want to apply this rule on port 80 to 90, please input ’80-90’; if you want to apply this rule on a single port, just input the port number, like ‘80’. If the remote (destination) IP address and /or port number is universal, just leave it blank.
4.7 Network Address Translation (NAT) Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to Internet.
Please click ‘Continue’ to back to previous setup menu; to continue on other setup procedures, or click ‘Apply’ to reboot the router so the settings will take effect (Please wait for about 30 seconds while router is rebooting).
