you can add it to the network by pressing the configuration button on the device.  
2. If the new device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and the connection way using PIN, you can  
add it to the network by entering the Device's PIN.  
Note:  
)
To build a successful connection by QSS, you should also do the corresponding configuration on a  
wireless adapter for QSS function meanwhile.  
For the configuration of the new device, here takes the Wireless Adapter of our company for  
example.

Standard AP: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to access, and provides several  
wireless modes, such as AP, Client, Repeater and so on.  
AP Router: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet via ADSL/Cable  
Modem. The wireless port share the same IP to ISP through Ethernet WAN port. The  
Wireless port acts the same as a LAN port while at AP Router mode.  
¾
AP Client Router: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet from WISP.  
The LAN port devices share the same IP from WISP through Wireless port. While connecting  
to WISP, the Wireless port works as a WAN port at AP Client Router mode. The Ethernet port  
acts as a LAN port.

RTS Threshold - Here you can specify the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If the packet is  
larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the Device will send RTS frames to a particular  
receiving station and negotiate the sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.  
Fragmentation Threshold - This value is the maximum size determining whether packets  
will be fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may result in poor network  
performance since excessive packets. 2346 is the default setting and is recommended.  
DTIM Interval - This value determines the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message

Chapter 5 Configuring AP Router & AP Client Router Mode  
This chapter will show each Web page's key functions and the configuration way in AP Router  
mode as well as AP Client Router mode.  
Note:  
)
The setting Web pages of these two modes are mostly the same, with only three differences:  
1. In AP Router Mode, there is one more WAN connection type, Big Pond Cable, than that in AP Client  
Router Mode.（See Section 5.6.2）  
2. In AP Client Router Mode, there is one more submenu under Wireless main menu, Antenna  
Alignment, than that in AP Router Mode, as shown in Figure 5-24 & Figure 5-25. (See Section 5.7)  
3. The Wireless Settings page in AP Router mode and that in AP Client Router mode are something  
different, as shown in Figure 5-26 & Figure 5-27. (See Section 5.7.1)

Standard AP: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to accessing, and provides  
several wireless modes. Such as AP, Client, Repeater and so on.  
AP Router: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet via ADSL/Cable  
Modem. The wireless port share the same IP to ISP through Ethernet WAN port. The  
Wireless port acts the same as a LAN port while at AP Router mode.  
¾
AP Client Router: In this mode, the device enables multi-users to share Internet from WISP.  
The LAN port devices share the same IP from WISP through Wireless port. While connecting  
to WISP, the Wireless port works as a WAN port at AP Client Router mode. The Ethernet port  
acts as a LAN port.

Once configured, operation is as follows:  
1. A local host makes an outgoing connection to an external host using a destination port  
number defined in the Trigger Port field.  
2. The Device records this connection, opens the incoming port or ports associated with this  
entry in the Port Triggering table, and associates them with the local host.  
3. When necessary, the external host will be able to connect to the local host using one of the  
ports defined in the Incoming Ports field.  
¾
Rules:  
z Trigger Port - The port for outgoing traffic. An outgoing connection using this port will  
Trigger this rule.  
z Trigger Protocol - The protocol used for Trigger Ports, either TCP, UDP, or All (all  
protocols are supported by the Device.).  
z Incoming Port - The port or port range used by the remote system when it responds to the  
outgoing request. A response using one of these ports will be forwarded to the PC which  
triggered this rule. You can input at most 5 groups of ports (or port sections). Every group  
of ports must be separated with ",". For example, 2000-2038, 2046, 2050-2051, 2085,  
3010-3030.  
z Incoming Protocol - The protocol used for Incoming Port, either TCP, UDP, or ALL (all  
protocols are supported by the Device.).  
z Status - The status of this entry. Enabled means the Port Triggering entry is enabled.  
z Modify - To modify or delete an existing entry.  
z Common Applications - Some popular applications already listed in the from the

802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input  
multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for  
increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the  
spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced  
Wireless Consortium (EWC) was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n  
development process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of  
next-generation wireless local area networking (WLAN) products.

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain  
name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.  
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the  
TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server.  
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the  
Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.  
DNS (Domain Name System) - An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into  
IP addresses.

Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.  
DoS (Denial of Service) - A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from  
operating or communicating.  
¾
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over  
existing traditional phone lines.

ISP (Internet Service Provider) - A company that provides access to the Internet.  
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit) - The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be  
transmitted.

NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area  
network to a different IP address for the Internet.  
PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote  
hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.  
SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key  
identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to  
communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is  
typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the  
wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or  
152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.  
Wi-Fi - is a trademark of the Wi-Fi Alliance, founded in 1999 as Wireless Internet Compatibility  
Alliance (WICA), comprising more than 300 companies, whose products are certified by the  
Wi-Fi Alliance, based on the IEEE 802.11 standards (also called Wireless LAN (WLAN) and  
Wi-Fi). This certification warrants interoperability between different wireless devices.

WISP - Wireless Internet Service Providers (WISPs) are Internet service providers with  
networks built around wireless networking. The technology used ranges from commonplace  
Wi-Fi mesh networking or proprietary equipment designed to operate over open 900MHz,  
2.4GHz, 4.9, 5.2, 5.4, and 5.8GHz bands or licensed frequencies in the UHF or MMDS bands.  
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices  
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local  
area.
