RTS Threshold This value should remain at its default setting of 2347. The range is
0~2347. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor
modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than
the present RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be
enabled. The router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames to a
particular receiving station and negotiates the sending of a data
frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a
Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin
transmission. Fill the range from 0 to 2347 into this blank.
Beacon Interval Beacons are packets sent by an access point to synchronize a
wireless network. Specify a beacon interval value. The allowed

encryption key for access point and wireless LAN handset
like WEP. There are "AES" and "TKIP" as encryption
scheme. "TKIP" automatically updates the key at regular
intervals, check and approve the communication, so it can
communicate safer than WEP key which uses single
encryption key for long time. "AES" is harder to decode
comparing to "TKIP", so it can say tougher encryption
scheme than "TKIP"

z UPNP
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a standard of networking protocols
promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to
connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the
home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in corporate
environments for simplified installation of computer components. BRB72N
supports UPnP function, and can cooperate with other UPnP devices. When
you activate UPnP, please click My Network Places. Users will see an Internet
Gateway Device icon. By click the icon, users can enter the GUI of the router. If
you do not wish to use UPnP, you can disable it.
z AV UPNP
AV UPnP media server is the UPnP-server that provides media library information and
streams media-data (like audio/video/picture/files) to UPnP-clients on the network. It
is a computer system or a similar digital appliance that stores digital media, such as
photographs, movies, or music and shares these with other devices. User can plug in
USB disk to product USB port and use AV UPnP client to play USB disk media-data
(like audio/video/picture/files)
5.10.8 Route Setup
Dynamic routing is a distance-vector routing protocol, which employs the hop count as a
routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed
in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15
Static routing is a data communication concept describing one way of configuring path
selection of routers in computer networks. It is the type of routing characterized by the absence of
communication between routers regarding the current topology of the network.This is achieved by

5.10.9 VPN Passthough
Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for work-related networking. For VPN tunnels,
the router supports IPSec, Pass-through, PPTP Pass-through, and L2TP Pass-through.
Item Description
IPSec Pass-through Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to
implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow
IPSec tunnels to pass through the router, IPSec Pass-through is
enabled by default. To disable IPSec Pass-through , select Disable
PPTP Pass-through Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable
VPN sessions to a Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 server. To allow PPTP
tunnels to pass through the router, PPTP Pass-through is enabled
by default. To disable PPTP Pass-through, select Disable.
L2TP Pass-through To allow the L2TP network traffic to be forwarded to its destination
without the network address translation tasks.

6 Q & A
6.1 Installation
1. Q: Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network?
A: In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN.
Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub
(switch or computer).
2. Q: Why does the throughput seem slow?
A: To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100 meter. If
you have to do so, we advise you to purchase a bridge to place it in the middle of the
route in order to keep the quality of transmitting signal. Out of this condition you
would better test something else.
z Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.
z Check to see that the network does not exceed 10 broadcast messages per
second.
z Verify network topology and configuration.

6.6 Wireless LAN
1. Q: Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?
A: Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set up,
particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different vendors. Any
number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to each other. Let's go
over some of more common ones.
For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID
descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the
wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all
access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the
same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it
can provide this unique identifier. This is similar to the function of your network's
Workgroup or Domain name.
When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep things
simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP encryption you
might have configured.
Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared key. A
HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This key identifies
the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this network. Different
manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways that might prevent them
from working correctly with another vendor's products. So pay attention to detail is
going to be the key to a successful installation.
Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same
communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default channel
can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm that the router
has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured. If not, the NIC won't be
able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a few access points that offer DHCP
services but do not assign all of the needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I
was able to connect to the network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't
assume anything. Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being
received by the workstation.
Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the same
room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to minimize
potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams.

2. Q: My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.
A: Check the following:
z Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure
Mode.)
z The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember
that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example “Workgroup” does NOT match
“workgroup”.
z Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same setting for
WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless
station should also have WEP disabled.
z If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled,
and the key must match.
z If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to selected
Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been
selected, or access will be blocked.
z To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is possible
when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the connection range
can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
3. Q: Wireless connection speed is very slow.
A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the
distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you
can experiment with following:
z Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access
Point.
z Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel
may show a marked improvement.
z Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can
experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any “noisy”
devices should be shielded or relocated.
z RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between the
wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close
to the Access Point.
4. Q: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.
http://www.sapido.com.tw/ User Manual v1.0.0
95
A: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent.
Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do
not function correctly. If this does solve the problem, you can use the DMZ function.
This should work with almost every application, but:
z It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
z Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
5. Q: I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
A: Check the following:
z The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is
powered ON.
z Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment.
z If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client), restart it.
z If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible
with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the
Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In
Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel ~ Network to
check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
6. Q: The WinXP wireless interface couldn’t communicate the WEP with SAPIDO
BRB72N’s wireless interface.
A: The default WEP of WinXP is Authentication Open System - WEP, but the WEP of
SAPIDO BRB72N is only for Shared Key - WEP, it caused both sides couldn’t
communicate. Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication Open System to
Pre-shared Key - WEP, and then the WEP wireless interface between WinXP and
SAPIDO BRB72N would be communicated.
6.7 Support
1. Q: What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the XDSL Router will
support?
A: The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode.
http://www.sapido.com.tw/ User Manual v1.0.0
96
5. Q: Is the Router cross-platform compatible?
A: Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the Router.
6.8 Others
1. Q: Why does the router dial out for PPPoE mode very often?
A: Normally some of game, music or anti-virus program will send out packets that
trigger the router to dial out, you can close these programs. Or you can set the idle
time to 0, then control to dial out manually.
2. Q: What can I do if there is already a DHCP server in LAN?
A: If there are two DHCP servers existing on the same network, it may cause conflict
and generate trouble. In this situation, we suggest to disable DHCP server in router
and configure your PC manually.
