The WL-354 uses technology based on 802. 11n, and is fully compliant with 802. 11g & 802. 11b. [. . . ] If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling "Broadcast ESSID" can provide better security. Transmit burst mode if enabled wireless throughput is enhanced, this may affect compatibility. 802. 11g: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. 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. 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". If you are having any difficulties filling in the fields, just clear the MAC Address. 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. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the `Start to Process' button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the wireless router. WPS Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the WPS function. WPS Current Status If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set, you'll see a `Configured' message here. Otherwise, you'll see `UnConfigured'. Self Pin Code This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices. 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. WPS via PIN You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless device within 2 minutes. 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 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".
