2. Configuring WiFi Combo Broadband Router
2.1. Installation Considerations
The WiFi Combo Broadband Router allows you access your network using a
wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind
however, that the number, thickness, and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects
that the wireless signals must pass through, may limit this range.
Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials used, and background RF
(radio frequency) noise in your home or business.
To maximize your wireless range, please follow these guidelines:
1. Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the WiFi Combo Broadband
Router and other network devices to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling can reduce
the WiFi Combo Broadband Router’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters).
Note: The same considerations apply to your broadband EVDO connection.
2. Keep your product aware from electrical devices (such as microwaves, air
conditioners, and televisions) that emit large quantities of RFI (Radio Frequency
Interference).

Open
Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an
authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC
address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a
success or failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC
address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration.
Shared
Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the
authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is
manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key
authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN environments.
Auto
The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client’s request automatically.

3.2.2 Forwarding Rules
3.2.2.1 Virtual Server
This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts
behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them
accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping.
A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the
computer specified by the Server IP. Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user
more flexibility on Access control. For Detail, please refer to Scheduling Rule.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.123.1, a Web server (port 80) at
192.168.123.2, and a VPN server at 192.168.123.6, then you need to specify the following virtual
server mapping table:
Service Port Server IP Enable
21 192.168.123.1 V
80 192.168.123.2 V
1723 192.168.123.6 V
Click on “Save” to store what you just select or “Undo” to give up
3.2.2.2 Special AP
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet
telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT
router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product.
If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your
computer as the DMZ host instead.
1. Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application.
2. Incoming Ports: when the trigger packet is detected, the inbound packets sent to the
specified port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.
This product provides some predefined settings.
1. Select your application and
2. Click “Copy to” to add the predefined setting to your list.
Note! At any given time, only one PC can use each Special Application tunnel.

3.2.3.1 Packet Filters
Packet Filter includes both outbound filter and inbound filter. And they have same way to setting.
Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass the router. Outbound filter
applies on all outbound packets. However, inbound filter applies on packets that destined to Virtual
Servers or DMZ host only. You can select one of the two filtering policies:
1. Allow all to pass except those match the specified rules
2. Deny all to pass except those match the specified rules
You can specify 8 rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule, you can define the
following:
• Source IP address
• Source port
• Destination IP address
• Destination port
• Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.
• Use Rule#
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1) or a range of IP
addresses (4.3.2.1-4.3.2.254). An empty implies all IP addresses.
For source or destination port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999).
Add prefix "T" or "U" to specify TCP or UDP protocol. For example, T80, U53, U2000-2999, No
prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. An empty implies all port addresses. Packet Filter
can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control. For Detail,
please refer to Scheduling Rule.
Each rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
