•
•
•
•
•
WEP / WPA / WPA2 data encryption
SPI Firewall
VPN Pass-Through
MAC address IP filtering
Authentication protocols – PAP / CHAP
You can authenticate or encrypt your service on the Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) algorithm, which provides
protection against unauthorized access such as eavesdropping.
The following screen appears when Security is selected. The Security page allows you to configure security
features of your Router’s wireless LAN interface. You can set the network authentication method, select data
encryption, specify whether a network key is required to authenticate to this wireless network and specify the
encryption strength.
Click Save/Apply to configure the wireless security options.

Select SSID
Your Service Set Identifier (SSID), sets your Wireless Network Name. You can connect multiple
devices including Laptops, Desktop PCs and PDAs to your Wireless Router. To get additional
devices connected, scan for a network, and locate the SSID shown on your Wireless Security
Card. If the SSID does not match, access is denied.
Network
Authentication
This option is used for authentication to the wireless network. Each authentication type has
its own settings as illustrated below. For example, selecting 802.1X authentication will reveal
the RADIUS Server IP address, Port and Key fields.
WEP Encryption will also be enabled.
The settings for WPA authentication are shown below.
WEP Encryption This option indicates whether data sent over the network is encrypted. The same network
key is used for data encryption and network authentication. Whilst four network keys can be
defined, only one can be used at any one time.
Use the network key found in the drop down list.
Encryption
Strength
This drop-down list box will display when WEP Encryption is enabled.
The key strength is proportional to the number of binary bits comprising the key.
This means that keys with a greater number of bits have a greater degree of security and are
considerably more difficult to crack. Encryption strength can be set to either 64-bit or 128-
bit. A 64-bit key is equivalent to 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal numbers. A 128-bit
key contains 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal numbers. FYI: Each key contains a
24-bit header (an initiation vector) which enables parallel decoding of multiple streams of
encrypted data.

Option
Description
AP Isolation
Select On or Off. By enabling this feature, wireless clients associated with the Access
Point can be linked.
Band
The new amendment allows IEEE 802.11g units to fall back to speeds of 11 Mbps, so IEEE
802.11b and IEEE 802.11g devices can coexist in the same network. The two standards
apply to the 2.4 GHz frequency band. IEEE 802.11g creates data-rate parity at 2.4 GHz
with the IEEE 802.11a standard, which has a 54 Mbps rate at 5 GHz. (IEEE 802.11a has
other differences compared to IEEE 802.11b or g, such as offering more channels.)
Channel
Allows selection of a specific channel (1-14) or Auto mode.
Auto Channel Timer The Auto Channel times the length it takes to scan in minutes.
(min)
54g Rate
In Auto (default) mode, your Router uses the maximum data rate and lowers the data
rate dependent on the signal strength. The appropriate setting is dependent on signal
strength. Other rates are discrete values between 1 to 54 Mbps.
Multicast Rate
Basic Rate
Setting for multicast packet transmission rate. (1-54 Mbps)
Sets basic transmission rate.
Fragmentation
Threshold
A threshold (in bytes) determines whether packets will be fragmented and at what size.
Packets that exceed the fragmentation threshold of an 802.11 WLAN will be split into
smaller units suitable for the circuit size. Packets smaller than the specified fragmentation
threshold value however are not fragmented.
Values between 256 and 2346 can be entered but should remain at a default setting of
2346. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor performance.
RTS Threshold
DTIM Interval
Request To Send (RTS) specifies the packet size that exceeds the specified RTS threshold,
which then triggers the RTS/CTS mechanism. Smaller packets are sent without using
RTS/CTS. The default setting of 2347 (max length) will disables the RTS Threshold.
Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) is also known as Beacon Rate. The entry
range is a value between 1 and 65535. A DTIM is a countdown variable that informs
clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the
AP has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next
DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. AP Clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the
broadcast and multicast messages. The default is 1.
Beacon Interval
The amount of time between beacon transmissions in is milliseconds. The default is
100 ms and the acceptable range is 1 – 65535. The beacon transmissions identify the
presence of an access point. By default, network devices passively scan all RF channels
listening for beacons coming from access points. Before a station enters power save
mode, the station needs the beacon interval to know when to wake up to receive the
beacon.

Configure Wireless Bridge (Wireless Distribution System/WDS)
Description: configure the wireless bridge
Synopsis:
wlan wds [--mode <ap|wds>] [--restrict <enabled|disabled>]
[--rmac1 <MACaddress>] [--rmac2 <MACaddress>]
[--rmac3 <MACaddress>] [--rmac4 <MACaddress>]
Options:
--mode <ap|wds>
Description: configure wireless AP mode.
Default value: ap
--restrict <enabled|disabled>
Description: enable or disable bridge restrict mode.
Default value: disabled
--rmac1 <MACaddress>
--rmac2 <MACaddress>
--rmac3 <MACaddress>
--rmac4 <MACaddress>
Description: set remote bridge MAC address
Note:
The “--restrict” option have to be enable before setting any restrict MAC address (--rmac1~4) or the restrict MAC address setting
will be ignored.
The behavior of WDS is similar to connecting two or more AP using a hub. However, please be aware of the IP assignment to
prevent assigning two or more hosts / STAs to the same IP address. To avoid IP address conflict, only enable DHCP server in one
router and disable the other router DHCP server.
WDS CLI (command line interface) does NOT support Enable(Scan) mode in Bridge Restrict while using WUI (Web UI) does. When
Bridge Restrict set to Enable(Scan) mode in WUI, the CLI will show Bridge Restrict disabled.
Example 4:
After example 3, the user want to connect another AP which has DHCP disabled and the MAC address is
00:12:34:56:78:9a
wlan wds --mode wds --restrict enabled --rmac1 00:12:34:56:78:9a
