LAN
•LAN IP – Use the LAN menu to configure the LAN IP address
for the Router and to enable the DHCP server for dynamic
client address allocation.
•Set a period for the lease time if required. For home networks
this may be set to Forever, which means there is no time limit
on the IP address lease.
•IP Address Pool – A dynamic IP address range may be
specified (192.168.2.2–254). IP addresses running from
192.168.2.100 to 192.168.2.199 are the default value. Once
the IP addresses, e.g. 192.168.2.100–199, have been
assigned, these IP addresses will be part of the dynamic IP
address pool. IP addresses from 192.168.2.2 to 192.168.2.99,
and 192.168.2.200 to 192.168.2.254 will be available as static
IP addresses.
Remember not to include the address of the Router in the client
address pool. Also remember to configure your client PCs for
dynamic IP address allocation.

47
Wireless
To configure the Router as a wireless access point for wireless
clients (either stationary or roaming), all you need to do is define
the radio channel, the Service Set identifier (SSID), and
encryption options.
Channel and SSID
You must specify a common radio channel and SSID (Service
Set ID) to be used by the Router and all of your wireless clients.
Be sure you configure all of your clients to the same values.
ESSID: The Service Set ID. This should be set to the same value
as the other wireless devices in your network.
Note: The SSID is case sensitive and can consist of up to 32
alphanumeric characters.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router
48
Transmission Rate: Set the rate of data transmitted
from the Router. The lower the data rate, the longer
the transmission distance. (Default: Fully Automatic.)
Channel: The radio channel through which the Router
communicates with PCs in its BSS. (Default: 6)
Note: The available channel settings are limited by
local regulations.
Broadcast SSID: Broadcasting the SSID on the
wireless network for easy connection with client PCs.
For security reason, disable SSID broadcast. (Default: Enable)
Advanced Setup
49
Encryption
If you are transmitting sensitive data across
wireless channels, you should enable Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) encryption.
Encryption requires you to use the same set
of encryption/decryption keys for the Router and all of your
wireless clients. You can choose between standard 64-bit or the
more robust 128-bit encryption.
You may manually enter the keys or automatically generate
encryption keys. To manually configure the keys, enter five
hexadecimal pairs for each 64-bit key, or enter 13 pairs for the
single 128-bit key. (A hexadecimal digit is a number or letter in
the range 0-9 or A-F.) For automatic 64-bit security, enter a
passphrase and click Generate. Four keys will be generated (as
shown below). Choose a key from the drop-down list or accept
the default key. Automatic 128-bit security generates a single
key.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router
50
If you use encryption, configure the same keys used for the
Router on each of your wireless clients. Note that Wired
Equivalent Privacy (WEP) protects data transmitted between
wireless nodes, but does not protect any transmissions over your
wired network or over the Internet.

NAT - Network Address Translation
From this section you can configure the Address Mapping, Virtual
Server, and Special Application features that provide control over
the TCP/UDP port openings in the router’s firewall. This section
can be used to support several Internet based applications such
as web, E-mail, FTP, and Telnet
Address Mapping
Allows one or more public IP addresses to be shared by multiple
internal users. Enter the Public IP address you wish to share into
the Global IP field. Enter a range of internal IPs that will share the
global IP.
Configuring the Wireless Barricade g Router
52
Virtual Server
If you configure the Router as a virtual server, remote users
accessing services such as web or FTP at your local site via
public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to local
servers configured with private IP addresses. In other words,
depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the
Router redirects the external service request to the appropriate
server (located at another internal IP address).
For example, if you set Type/Public Port to TCP/80 (HTTP or
web) and the Private IP/Port to 192.168.2.2/80, then all HTTP
requests from outside users will be transferred to 192.168.2.2 on
port 80. Therefore, by just entering the IP Address provided by
the ISP, Internet users can access the service they need at the
local address to which you redirect them.
The more common TCP service ports include:
HTTP: 80, FTP: 21, Telnet: 23, and POP3: 110

53
Special Applications
Some applications, such as Internet gaming, videoconferencing,
Internet telephony and others, require multiple connections.
These applications cannot work with Network Address
Translation (NAT) enabled. If you need to run applications that
require multiple connections, use the following screen to specify
the additional public ports to be opened for each application.
Specify the public port number normally associated with an
application in the Trigger Port field. Set the protocol type to TCP
or UDP, then enter the ports that the application requires.
Popular applications requiring
multiple ports are listed in the Popular
Applications field. From the
drop-down list, choose the application
and then choose a row number to copy this data into.
Note: Choosing a row that already contains data will
overwrite the current settings.

Firewall
The Router firewall can provide access control of connected
client PCs, block common hacker attacks, including IP Spoofing,
Land Attack, Ping of Death, IP with zero length, Smurf Attack,
UDP port loopback, Snork Attack, TCP null scan, and TCP SYN
flooding. The firewall does not significantly affect system
performance, so we advise leaving it enabled to protect your
network users.
