The WL-366 is compliant with 802. 11n v2. 0 and up to 6 times faster than standard 802. 11g based routers while still being compatible with 802. 11g & 802. 11b devices. The WL-366 is not only a Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices together. At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless access to multimedia content. [. . . ] 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. 33 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. 34 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 35 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. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server. Enable DMZ Enable/disable DMZ Host Enter the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. 36 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. Discard Ping on WAN The router's WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests. 37 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. [. . . ] Passwords can contain 0 to 12 alphanumeric characters, and are case sensitive. Current Password Fill in the current password to allow changing to a new password. New Password Enter your new password Confirmed Password Enter your new password again for verification purposes Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations 47 Time Zone The Time Zone allows your router to base its time on the settings configured here, which will affect functions such as Log entries and Firewall settings. Set Time Zone Select the time zone of the country you are currently in. The router will set its time based on your selection. [. . . ]
