Before setting up encryption and authentication for RT-N15, contact your network administrator for advice.Click Wireless -> InterfaceWRRSHQWKHFRQÀJXUDWLRQSDJHEncryptionThe encryption modes supported by RT-N15 are: WEP (64bits), WEP (128bits), TKIP, AES, and TKIP+AES.WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits static keys to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup WEP keys, set WEP Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets WEP Keys (10 hexadecimal digits for 64-bit key or 26 hexadecimal digits for 128-bit key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase.TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless network.Note: For 802.11n performance, select 40MHz bandwidth. Channel option will depend on the bandwidth that you select.

For example, if host 192.168.1.100 is the FTP server that the user will access, it means all packets from Internet with destination port as 21 are to be directed to the host. Set Well-known Application to FTP. Port range to 21, Local IP to the host IP, Local Port to 21, Protocol to TCP.3. Click Finish.4. Click Save & Restart to restart the wireless router and activate the settings.AuthenticationThe authentication methods supported by RT-N15 include: Open, shared key, WPA-PSK, WPA, and Radius with 80.211x.Open: This option disables authentication protection for wireless network. Under Open mode, any IEEE802.11b/g client can connect to your wireless network.Shared: This mode uses the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and WPA-PSK for home and SOHO users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the already existing RADIUS server for authentication; for home and SOHO user, LWSURYLGHV3UH6KDUHG.H\36.IRUXVHULGHQWLÀFDWLRQ7KH3UH6KDUHG.H\consists of 8 to 64 characters.Radius with 802.1X: Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption methods: WPA adopts TKIP or AES encryption methods, while Radius with 802.1X does not provide encryption.When authentication and encryption are set, click Finish to save the settings and restart the wireless router.6HWWLQJXSYLUWXDOVHUYHULQ\RXU/$1Virtual server is a Network Address Translation (NAT) function which turns a computer within a LAN into a server by allowing data packets of certain service, such as HTTP, from Internet. 1.

DDNS requires registering and account-creating at DDNS service providers' website. The DDNS server updates your IP address information once you are assigned to a new IP address. Thus, the Internet user can always access your network. 1. Click DDNSIURP,3&RQÀJIROGHU2. Select Yes to enable the DDNS service.

This function is useful when the host plays multiple roles such as HTTP server and FTP server. However, in doing this, your network becomes less secure.
