e router’s internal wireless radios broadcast signals in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz range. By
default, they are on so that you can connect wirelessly to the router. When the wireless
radios are o, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.

ASRock G10 Gaming Router
6.1.1 Wireless
Wireless - 2.4G/5G
• Enable Radio: Enable or disable wireless radios. By default, the radios are “on”. If you
turn o the wireless radios, you can’t log in to the router.
• Wireless On/O Schedule: You can specify which days of the week wireless
networking are enabled
• Wireless Channel: You can change your WiFi router channel to optimize your
wireless signal. If you are not sure how to pick the right channel, keep the default
“Auto”.
• Wireless SSID: e Service Set Identier (SSID) is a name used to connect to a
wireless network so you can identify your network.
• Wireless Mode: By default, the wireless mode is set to “Auto”. 802.11ac, 802.11n,
802.11g and 802.11b devices are allowed to be connected to the wireless router.
• CTS Protection: Clear to send (CTS) Protection mode is a wireless setting that
ensures computers on a network can connect to a wireless router when many
communications devices are present. When an 802.11b and an 802.11g device are
both connected to the access point, set the CTS Protection to "ON" (Default). Since
an 802.11b device is unable to detect when an 802.11g device is transmitting, CTS
protection ensures that each device takes turns transmitting in order to avoid
collisions. If the wireless devices connected to the access point are either all 802.11b
or all 802.11g, set the CTS protection to "OFF".
• Bandwidth: For best performance in a 2.4GHz network using wireless-B, wireless-G
and wireless-N devices, keep the default, “20/40”. For a bandwidth of 20MHz,
select 20MHz only. For the best performance in a 5GHz network, keep the default

20/40/80MHz.
• Broadcast SSID: When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks
to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the router. Keep the default
“ON” to broadcast the router’s SSID. Select “OFF” if you do not want to broadcast the
router’s SSID.
• Preamble Type: By default, the preamble type is set to "Auto". Select "Short" for a busy
wireless network with high network trac. Select "Long" if your wireless network is
composed of older or legacy wireless devices.
• RTS reshold: Adjusts the size of RTS (Request to Send) data packets. By default,
the RTS value is 2347. Lower values reduce throughput, but allow the system to
recover quicker from interference or collisions. Higher values provide the fastest
throughput.
• DTIM Interval: e Delivery Trac Indication Message (DTIM) interval helps
routers to broadcast wireless trac to multiple hosts with greater eciency. DTIM
interval or Data beacon rate is the time interval before a signal is sent to a wireless
device in sleep mode indicating that a data packet is awaiting delivery. e default
value is 3 milliseconds.
• TX Power Adjustment: TX power adjustment refers to the milliwatts (mW) needed to
power the radio signal output of the wireless router.
• WMM: Prioritizes multimedia data over the wireless network.
Wireless Security
• Authentication Method: Select an Authentication method for the wireless network.
• Password: Enter a password for protecting your wireless network.

6.2 LAN Settings
e LAN IP screen allows you to modify the LAN settings of your wireless router.
LAN Setting
• IP address: e default IP address is “192.168.1.1”. You can change the IP address of
the router.
• Subnet Mask: e default subnet mask is “255.255.255.0”.
DHCP
• DHCP Server: By default, the DHCP server is set to “ON”.
• Domain Name: Enter a domain name for the wireless router.
• Starting IP Address: You can specify the IP address range. Enter the starting IP
address for assigning IP addresses to connecting devices.
NOTE: is option is skipped when "Auto Setting" is selected.
• Ending IP Address: You can specify the IP address range. Enter the last IP address for
assigning IP addresses to connecting devices.
NOTE: is option is skipped when “Auto Setting” is selected.
• Lease Time: Specify in seconds when an assigned IP address will expire. Once it
reaches this time limit, the DHCP server will then assign a new IP address.

6.3 WAN Settings
You can view or congure Wide Area Network (WAN) settings for the internet port. You
can set up a demilitarized zone (DMZ) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU)
size, and so on.
6.3.1 Internet
• Connection Type: Choose your internet service provider type. Options include:
Dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPPoA, L2TP, and PPTP.
• WAN IP: By default, the IP address is acquired from your ISP automatically.
• WAN DNS: By default, the DNS address is acquired from your ISP automatically.
• MTU Value: e Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) denes the largest size of packets
that an interface can transmit without the need to fragment. Change the MTU value
only when it is necessary for your ISP connection.
• MAC Clone: e Router can use a MAC (Media Access Control) address that you
dene as its own. is is oen used when an internet provider only authorizes one
MAC address to access the internet.
Press "Apply" to save the settings and reboot the router.

6.3.2 Port Trigger
Some internet applications use alternate ports to communicate between the server and
LAN host. When you want to use these applications, enter the triggering (outgoing) port
and alternate incoming port in the port triggering table. en the router will forward the
incoming packets to the specied LAN host.
• Service: Enable Port Trigger and add a service.
• Trigger Port: Enter the port number for the service.
• Incoming Port: Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the trigger port range.
• TCP/UDP: Choose the protocol.
• : Add a service.
6.3.3 Port Forwarding
You may use this function to establish a web server or FTP server via an IP gateway. Make
sure that you enter a valid IP address. (You may need to establish a static IP address in
order to properly run an internet server.) For added security, internet users will be able
to communicate with the server, but they will not actually be connected. e packets will
simply be forwarded through the router.
• Service: Enable Port Forwarding and add a service.
• Port Range: Enter the port range.
• Local IP: Enter the LAN IP address of the server that you want the internet users to
access.

• Local Port: Enter a specic port to receive forwarded packets.
• TCP/UDP: Choose the required protocol.
• : Add a service.
6.3.4 DMZ
e router is programmed to recognize some of the applications and to work correctly
with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local
computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered
as the default DMZ server. Using DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) can eliminate the need to
specify many individual port forwarding rules. However, by exposing all the ports on the
local device, the local device may become more susceptible to attacks.
WARNING:
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designed as the default DMZ server loses
much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the internet. If
compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your
networks.
• Host IP Address: Enable DMZ and select an IP address.
6.3.5 DDNS
Setting up DDNS allows you to access the router from outside your network through the
DDNS service.
