WAN: The LED lights when the Ethernet port is plugged and flashes when it is transmitting. WLAN: The LED flashes when WLAN is working. WPS LED: The LED lights when the WPS button is pushed. WPS Button: Press it to enable PBC (Press Button Communication) for WPS authentication. Back Panel From left to right: WAN: You can connect the Ethernet port from ISP such as ADSL ITU-R, Cable MODEM.
Ch 2. First Time Configuration Before Start to Configure The configuration of this device is through web-browser. To access the configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. For the first time configuration, please login with username: root and password: root. Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and running.
Knowing the Network Application The device is a WLAN Access Point and also a Network Address Translator (residential gateway/router). The WLAN stations (Client) can connect to this device and then go through the Internet. Router mode: The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The other wired Ethernet (LAN) port bridges to the private WLAN.
Default Gateway: Primary & Secondary DNS: MAC Clone: The IP address of Default Gateway provided by your ISP or MIS. Default Gateway is the intermediate network device that has knowledge of the network IDs of the other networks in the Wide Area Network, so it can forward the packets to other gateways until they are delivered to the one connected to the specified destination. The IP addresses of DNS provided by your ISP. DNS (Domain Name Server) is used to map domain names to IP addresses.
Operation Mode: The available options are: “Keep Alive”, “On Demand”, and “Manual”. If your ISP charges you with a standard monthly fee, you can select “Keep Alive” to keep a continue connection. If your ISP charges you by a minute usage plan, you can select the “On Demand” or “Manual” for the connection if necessary. When the WAN network is idle in “On Demand” mode, the WAN will disconnect. You can also setup the idle time for On Demand mode.
Configuring LAN Interface Item IP Address Subnet Mask LAN2 LAN2 IP Address LAN2 Subnet Mask MAC Address DHCP Type Start IP Address End IP Address Description This is the IP Address for this device. You can login this IP Address via LAN/WLAN, and you can change it if you want to. This is the subnet mask for the LAN. The default value is “255.255.255.0”. The secondary LAN can be enabled for the special application such as dynamic routing with another domain of network.
Subnet mask This is the subnet mask of this domain. The default value is “255.255.255.0”. Primary DNS Server This is the primary DNS server for the LAN PCs. Secondary DNS Server This is the second DNS server for the LAN PCs. Default Gateway This is the default gateway for the LAN PCs. Lease Time This is the DHCP lease time. When it is short, the IP release/renew of the LAN will be faster but the network congestion will be more. You can manually assign the IP Address to the certain PCs.
Advanced LAN Routing User can set the routing information let the Router knows what routing is correct also it can not learn automatically through other means. For example, if user wants to link the Network 3 and Network 4 separately from Network 1 that Routing Table configuration as below: 1.
Gateway field final click Apply Change button. 2. Enter IP Address of Network 4, Subnet Mask and IP Address of Router (R2) in Default Gateway field final click Apply Change button. 3. In current Routing table there have two routings for Network 3 and Network 4. Static Routing Settings: Add a routing rule table: Item Destination Range Netmask Gateway Interface Comment Description Input the destination IP domain. Choose the range from Host and Net.
Wireless Settings Basic Basic Settings Item Radio On/Off Description Click the “RADIO OFF” button to turn off the radio. Click it again to turn on the radio. The available options are “11b/g mixed mode”, “11b only”, Network Mode “11g only” and “11b/g/n mixed mode”. We recommend selecting the default vale “11b/g/n mixed mode”. Network Name (SSID) The SSID, which is also called ESSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use in order to establish and maintain wireless connectivity.
Channel Bandwidth Guard Interval MCS Reverse Direction Grant (RDG) Extension Channel without legacy compatible part. But the device receives and decodes both Green Field and legacy packets. This option only works when selecting Band mode in 802.11b/g/n Mixed mode. Click the radio button to choose between 20 MHz or 20/40MHz. This option affects the Phy data rate of radio. Please refer to the table below The 11n device inserts the Guard Interval into the signal.

RTS Threshold radio interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance. The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
Wireless Security/Encryption Settings Description Item Disable, OPEN, SHARED, WEPAUTO, WPA, WPA-PSK, Security Mode WPA2, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2 PSK, WPA/WPA2, 802.1X. The available options are showed according to the numbers of the BSSID in the Basic Setting. Each SSID can setup different encryption type.
128-bit WEP Encryption：128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. When input 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f or A-F) or 10 ACSII chars, it is using 128-bit WEP encryption. WPA Authentication Mode This device supports six WPA modes including WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2 and additional WPA/WPA2 PSK and WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. For individual and residential user, it is recommended to select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to encrypt the link without additional RADIUS server.
Ethernet AP RADIUS Server Wireless Station Access Policy For each SSID, the Access Policy can be selected and setup. The policy includes “Reject” and “Allow”. The Reject policy rejects the station according to the MAC table in the policy configuration, and let the other stations to connect. The allow policy performs reversely. Add a station MAC: Key in station MAC Address in the text field. The valid format of the MAC Address is “00:11:22:33:44:55”.
PBC: Select PBC, and then you can begin the PBC process. Press the PBC button in the front panel can also trigger this process. Press or click the PBC button on the WLAN client to finish the communication. You can press the PBC button on the WLAN client first and then click the PBC button on this device to establish the encryption. The options and the information fields are showed below.

In the Station list, the information of associated clients is displayed. Firewall MAC/IP/Port Filtering Settings You can setup the filter to block the malicious traffic from Internet or local area network. Basic Settings Description Item MAC/IP/Port Filtering Enable or Disable the filtering. When enable the setting, all the traffic flow from WAN to LAN will apply to the rules below. Default Policy The packet that don’t match with any rules would be: “Accepted/Dropped”.
Port Forwarding / Virtual Server Settings This function allows you to redirect common network services to a specific machine behind the NAT firewall. For the certain application, like on line game or web/mail server, it is necessary to redirect the port to the PC/server on the private local network behind the device's NAT firewall. Virtual Server Settings Item IP Address Port Range Protocol Comment Description Input the LAN IP Address of the server. This is the range of the port for this server.
DMZ Settings A DeMilitarized Zone is used to provide Internet services without sacrificing unauthorized access to its local private network. Typically, the DMZ host contains devices accessible to Internet traffic, such as Web (HTTP) servers, FTP servers, SMTP (e-mail) servers and DNS servers. So that all inbound packets will be redirected to the computer you set.
System Security Settings Remote management via WAN: you can select “Deny” or “Allow” to decide whether the WAN of the device can be accessed. If it isn’t accessible, then you can’t open the web page from WAN. Ping from WAN Filter: If you allow the WAN interface to reply ping, then you can enable it. SPI Firewall: Enable this option to activate the Stateful Packet Inspection firewall. Content Filter Webs Content Filter Filters: Proxy, Java, ActiveX. Check the box to use the respective function.
