You can set up routing policies in this mode; however, NAT function is disabled.
Access point mode works when you setup WL-500gP V2 as a wireless bridge.
In this mode, all Ethernet ports on WL-500gP V2 (4 LAN ports and 1 WAN

Select a proper mode which complies to your network senario and press Apply
button, and then you can continue to setup advanced features for your WL-500gP

WL-500gP V2 provides a set of encryption and
authentication methods to meet the different demands
of home, SOHO, and enterprise users. Before setting up
encryption and authentication for WL-500gP V2, contact
your network administrator for advice.
Click Wireless -> InterfaceWRRSHQWKHFRQÀJXUDWLRQSDJH
Encryption
The encrytion modes supported by WL-500gP V2 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 hexadicimal digits for 64-bit key or 26 hexadicimal 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.

2. Select Yes to enable virtual
server. For example, if host
192.168.1.100 is FTP server
which is to be accessed by
Internet user, 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.
Authentication
The authentication methods supported by WL-500gP V2 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 the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.
WPA and WPA-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, it provides Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for
XVHULGHQWLÀFDWLRQ7KH3UH6KDUHG.H\FRQVLVWVRIWRFKDUDFWHUV
Radius with 802.1X: Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server
for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption mothods: 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.

DNS enables host who uses static IP address to associate with a domain name;
for dynamic IP user, they can also associate with a domain name via dynamic
DNS (DDNS). DDNS requires registering and account-creating at ASUS DDNS
service. The ASUS DDNS server has already recorded your
IP address information. You just set your domain name and
you can access USB Hard Disc Drive that plugged in WL-
500gP V2 via Internet.

To expose an internal host to Internet and make all services provided by this host
available to outside users, enable Vitural DMZ function to open all ports of the host.
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.
1. Click DDNS from,3&RQÀJ folder.
2. Select Yes to enable the DDNS service.
