[. . . ] Extension Channel Allows you to select the extension channel when Channel bandwidth is set to 20/40 MHz. 22 Advanced Settings This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included are Authentication Type, 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. RTS Threshold When the packet size is smaller then the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Beacon Interval is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. Broadcast ESSID If you enabled "Broadcast ESSID", every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling "Broadcast ESSID" can provide better security. 23 Preamble Type The "Long Preamble" can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the "Short Preamble" can provide better wireless LAN performance. WMM WiFi Multi Media if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in applications. 24 Security This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP and WPA with pre-shared key. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. 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. 30 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'. WPS Passphrase 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. SSID This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router. Authentication Mode It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless connection. 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. 31 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 32 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. [. . . ] All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name "Others". The rule with a smaller priority number has a higher priority; the rule with a larger priority number has a lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down. Enable/Disable QoS You can check "Enable QoS" to enable QoS functionality for the WAN port. Traffic mapping Click "Add traffic class" then enter a form of the QoS rule. [. . . ]
