Advanced Wireless Settings should only be adjusted by
technically advanced users. It is not recommended
that novice users adjust these settings to avoid
degrading wireless performance.
Fragment Threshold: The default and recommended
setting is at 2346, meaning the Router will never
fragment any frames that it sends to wireless users.
RTS Threshold: Adjusts the size of RTS data packets.
Lower values reduce throughput, but allow the system
to recover quicker from interference/collisions. Higher
values provide the fastest throughput.
Beacon Interval: Indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the router
to synch the wireless network.
STBC: Space Time Block Coding improves reception by coding the data stream in blocks.
54

56
Wi-Fi Settings: Wi-Fi Protected Setup – WPS (2.4GHz)
WPS is a Wi-Fi feature created to make Wi-Fi setup
simple and easy. Some wireless routers and adapters
support this feature with varying names (i.e. one
touch setup or WPS).
You may enable WPS setup here by selecting the type
of WPS setup you wish to use. The Router supports
all types of WPS setup:
Option A: Push button: You may push the WPS button on the web menu or use the physical button on the
back of the Router.
Option B: PIN: Some wireless devices use PIN number to access wireless network. If your wireless device
requests for a PIN number, use the PIN code located here.
Option C: Enter PIN: If your wireless device has a PIN number, locate the number and enter it into the field.
Press Start PIN when ready.
57
Network Settings: Local Network (LAN)
These settings are for your local network only and do
not apply to your Internet / ISP connection.
IP Address: The IP address of the Router.
Subnet Mask: The subnet of the Router.
Default Gateway: The access point to another network.
DHCP: Each network device on your local network will have its own IP Address. The DHCP server automatically
assigns the IP addresses to each device connected to your network. Disabling DHCP will require that each
device on your network be assigned a manual or static IP address.
DHCP Client Range: The range of IP addresses provided by the DHCP server is defined by this field. You can
limit how many IP addresses are used in your network by setting a smaller or larger range.
DHCP Lease Time: The amount of time each device is given a specific IP is decided by the DHCP lease time.
After the Lease Time expires, the DHCP server will assign another IP address to the device.
58
Set Static DHCP: This allows specific devices to be given a specific IP address each time the device connects to
the network. The DHCP server will always assign the same IP address to the same device. This feature is often
used for shared devices such as network printers or servers.
802.1d Spanning Type (STP): A network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for networks that have
Ethernet bridges. The STP prevents bridge loops and allows a network design to include redundant links to
provide automatic backup paths if active links fails.
Clone MAC Address: The Router can use a MAC address that you define as its own. This is often used when an
Internet Provider only authorizes one MAC address to access the Internet. Cloning the MAC address will make
it so that the cloned MAC address is the only MAC address seen by the Internet Provider.
59
Network Settings: Internet Network (WAN)
The Basic Setup Wizard will assist you in setting up your
Internet connection. However, in the case that you wish to
adjust settings manually, the options on this page provides you
with the tools to do this easily.
Select your Internet Connection type from the drop down
menu:
Manual IP (Static): For Internet connections where the Internet provider does not provide you with an IP
address automatically. If you know the IP address and DNS settings that your Internet provider uses, select this
option.
Automatic/Dynamic (DHCP): This is the configuration type most often used by Internet providers. Automatic
configurations are used by both DSL and Cable as well as other providers. Under the Automatic Configuration
method, the Internet provider will assign your router an Internet IP address automatically.
60
If for some reason you do not get an IP address and you know that your Internet provider uses DHCP, try
resetting your modem. Remove the power adapter from the modem as well as the backup battery (if
available). Wait about 30 seconds and then power the modem back on. You can run through the Basic Setup
Wizard again to see if that fixes your Internet connection issues.
PPPoE connections normally requires login information. If you do not know the settings for your PPPoE
connection, please contact your Internet provider.
PPTP and L2TP connections requires login information as well as IP address settings. If you do not know the
settings for your PPTP / L2TP connection, please contact your Internet provider.
61
Network Settings: Advanced Settings
These settings apply to the Local Network and your
Internet Connection Network. If you are not familiar
with these settings, please refer to a network
administrator to avoid putting your network at risk.
Enable uPnP: Universal Plug and Play is a network
feature that allows uPnP enabled devices to “just
work” with each other when connected to the same
network. UPnP can work across different network media, such as an Ethernet connection or wireless
connection. With UPnP enabled, network devices may change security settings within the Router’s firewall to
allow access over the Internet. By default, UPnP is disabled to avoid exposing your network to security issues.
Enable IGMP Proxy: Internet Group Management Protocol is a communication protocol used by hosts and
routers on the network to establish multicast group memberships. IGMP Proxy is typically used to implement
multicast routing and commonly used when advanced protocols such as PIM is not suitable.
Enable Ping Access on WAN: Allows users to ping the WAN interface IP address from the Internet.
Enable Web Server Access on WAN (Remote Management): Allows access to the Web Menu over the Internet.
62
Enable IPsec pass through on VPN connection: Allows the IP security protocol suite to pass through on a VPN
connection.
63
Security Features: Block Websites
To block a website, you must first enable URL filtering.
After it has been enabled, you can begin adding as
many websites as you wish into the URL Address field.
Note: If you wish to block www.google.com, simply
type in "google" and the Router will block all websites
with the text "google" in the URL.
64
Security Features: User Access (MAC Address Filtering)
User Access allows you to deny access or allow access to specific
users connecting to the network. Each networking device has a
unique address called a MAC address (a 12-digit hex number).
By inputting the MAC address into the field, you can define whether
that device is allowed into your network or not allowed.
A MAC Address may sometimes be referred to as a Physical Address.
Most networking devices have their MAC Address located on a label
on the actual device.
For Windows computers with internal networking adapters, the MAC
Address can be found by viewing the Network Connection Details of the network adapter. The MAC Address
will be listed as the Physical Address.
Be sure to enter the MAC Address without any symbols. For example, a MAC Address of 78-DD-78-AA-78-BB
would be entered as 78DD78AA78BB.
65
Security Features: User Access (IP Address Filtering)
User Access (IP Filtering) is similar to User Access (MAC filtering)
except that the Router uses the local IP address to filter the specific
data from the specified network protocol. For example, if you
chose to block TCP data packets from a specific computer, you
would need to figure out what that device's IP address is and select
TCP from the Protocol drop down menu.
If you are not sure which Protocol to filter, select "Both" as your
Protocol selection.
66
USB Storage: Local Sharing
Share USB storage devices with computers on the local network of the
Router.
Insert a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive, to
the USB port on the back panel of the Router and follow the directions
below for your operating system. The computer must be connected to the
router to access the storage device. You may also want to Map the
Network Drive so it shows up as a standard drive on your computer for
easier access.

USB Storage: FTP Server
Share USB storage devices with computers remotely over the
Internet. A FTP server allows you to access files through the use of
an FTP client remotely over the Internet.
Insert a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or external hard
drive, to the USB port on the back panel of the router.
From the USB Storage/FTP Server page of the web menu, enable
the FTP Server feature
a) Enable the FTP Server
b) Select whether you wish to have anonymous access or secured
access.
c) Open your FTP client software (not provided) and create a new
FTP connection.
d) Enter the Internet Address for the router as the IP address for your FTP connection. When prompted
enter your login information to access the USB Storage device remotely.
71
Firewall Settings: Port Filtering
Port Filtering is a security measure that prevents users
from using specific ports for reasons other than what
those ports were originally intended for. For example,
TCP port 21 is traditionally used for FTP. However,
there is nothing stopping a user from using port 21 for
purposes other than FTP access. By enabling Port
Filtering on TCP port 21, only FTP communications
would be allowed. No other types of communication
would be allowed on this port.
Hackers may sometimes scan for all open ports on your network as a method of hacking into your network.
Port Filtering and other firewall features help to prevent this from happening.
To set up Port Filtering, select a range of ports you wish to filter. If you are trying to filter a single port, enter
the port number twice. (For example, Port 21: 21 – 21) Select the Protocol of the port you are filtering. If you
do not know what protocol you wish to filter, select “Both.”
72
Firewall Settings: Port Forwarding
Port Forwarding is a rule that tells the Router that
if a specific type of request comes in on a specific
port, then that request should be forwarded to a
specific device on the private network.
Port Forwarding is often used for setting up
servers, cameras and other devices that require
remote access.
Enable Port Forwarding: Enables designated ports
to begin forwarding.
IP Address: The IP address of the device behind the Firewall that is being designated for Port Forwarding.
Protocol: Select UDP, TCP or Both for the protocols to be forwarded.
Port Range: Select a range of ports for the designated IP address that you wish to be forwarded.
Comment: Create a name that you can use to easily identify this Port Forwarding entry.
73
Firewall Settings: DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)
A DMZ is a network location or IP Address that is not
protected by the firewall. When enabling DMZ, it is
important to note that the device on the IP Address
designated as part of the DMZ does not have any
protection from the Router’s firewall. The device’s
only security would be those built into the operating
system.
As a general safety rule, devices placed on the DMZ should not have any other network connections to any
other devices.
Enable DMZ: Enables the Demilitarized Zone.
DMZ Host IP Address: The designated IP Address of the network device to have unrestricted access through
the Router’s Firewall.
74
Firewall Settings: Denial of Service
A Denial of Service attack is an attempt by a user (or users) to
make a server’s or network’s services unavailable. The user
sends a server multiple requests with false return addresses.
The server will attempt to respond by sending a request back to
the user; however, since the address is false, the server will
wait for a response before closing the connection. When
multiple requests like this occur, servers may often get
overloaded with too many requests and stop functioning
altogether. This is a typical DoS attack, although DoS attacks
may not be limited to this type of attack.
The Router can assist in preventing these types of attacks by
scanning the network for patterns of activity that represent DoS
attacks. If a pattern comes in frequently, the Router can
attempt to block messages containing that pattern and thus
protect the server from becoming overloaded and
unresponsive.
75
Quality of Service
QoS prioritizes and guarantees network performance for a specific application for an IP Address range or MAC
Address. You can also enter only an IP address or MAC address without selecting an application if you wish to
prioritize all traffic for a specific device.
QoS is often used for applications that require steady bandwidth. Common applications include VoIP phones,
video streaming applications (i.e. DVRs, network cameras, video on demand), online gaming and servers.
It is important to note that while QoS helps to prioritize and guarantee bandwidth for a specific device or
application, it does not provide you with more bandwidth than you currently have.
For example, if your Internet Provider rates your internet connection speed at 5Mbps, QoS will not improve
that connection. QoS helps you better manage the 5Mbps that you have so that the bandwidth is prioritized
for devices on your network that may need the provided 5Mbps more than other devices. However, if you
have an application that requires more than 5Mbps of steady bandwidth, the application will continue to
experience “lag” with or without QoS since your available bandwidth is less than the required bandwidth of
your application.
All QoS rules will be listed under the QoS Rule Table
76
Management: System Status
The System Status provides you with a snapshot of your Router’s
current connections and settings.
The System Information section provides you with the router’s
firmware version and build. This is used to help our support
department determine what firmware version your device is running.
The Current Date / Time is the setting for the system clock. If this
time is off, go to the System Clock section and configure your system
time.
The Internet Connection Status displays the information from your
Internet Provider. If for some reason your Internet connection stops

The Wired Connection statistics shows all data activity for all users
physically connected to the wired ports on the Router.
The Internet Connection statistics shows the data activity for all upload and download data over your Internet
connection.
78
Management: Dynamic DNS Settings
The Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a method to keep a web domain name, or web address, linked
to a changing IP address as most Internet Providers do not provide static IP addresses.
To use DDNS, you must first set up an account with a DDNS provider. The Router supports two of these
providers (TZO and DynDNS). Once the DDNS service has been set up and configured correctly on the Router,
the DDNS service will constantly track the IP address of your Internet connection. Each time your Internet
Provider changes your IP address, the Router will inform the DDNS service and the DDNS service will update
your new IP address. The DDNS web domain that you have chosen to use will then be updated to redirect to
your new Internet IP address.
The DDNS service makes it so you never have to
check or remember your Internet IP address. This
feature is typically used for users running servers,
network cameras and other devices that require
remote access.
79
Management: System Clock
Maintain the internal clock for the Router by syncing with your computer’s time or over the Internet. Your
system clock settings need to be accurate in order for logs and wireless access schedules to work correctly.

105
Troubleshooting: Wireless Issues
My Wi-Fi coverage is poor or my Wi-Fi speeds seem slow. It doesn’t seem like my ALLY Extender is working.
a) Power on the ALLY Extender and check that the status LED is either green or orange. If the color is
red this means the ALLY Extender is too far from the ALLY Router. Power off the ALLY Extender and
move it to a location closer to the ALLY Router and power it on again. Check that the ALLY Extender
LED is green or orange. If it is still red repeat the above steps.
b) If the ALLY Extender LED is flashing red, this means it does not have a connection to the ALLY
Router. Check that the ALLY Router is powered on. If it is, reboot the ALLY Extender by powering it
off and back on. If the LED remains flashing red, move the ALLY Extender closer to the ALLY Router
and check again until the LED turns green or orange.
c) If your LED remains flashing red after trying (a) and (b), please contact Elite Support.
I currently have multiple Wi-Fi network names appearing when I scan for Wi-Fi networks. (There should be
no more than one 2.4GHz network and one 5GHz network).
a) Reboot the ALLY Router first by powering it off and back on, then reboot the ALLY Extender.
Wait three minutes and then check the Wi-Fi network names are correct.
b) If option “a” does not work, move your ALLY Extender closer to the ALLY Router and try again.
106
I am only getting 3 or 4 wireless signal bars on my wireless computer and I am within 10 feet of the wireless
router.
a) Step back at least 10 feet from the ALLY Router and check your signal again. The ALLY Router emits
high power, long range Wi-Fi signals that may confuse your wireless adapter signal reading at close
range. The speed and signal are at 100%, however your readout may not be displaying the data
correctly.
b) Change the wireless channel on your ALLY Router to find a channel with less interference. Do this for
both 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless networks. To assist in finding the right channel, download the Amped
Wireless Wi-Fi Analytics Tool for your Android or PC. Changing the Wi-Fi channels can be done via the
Web Menu and not the ALLY app.
I am not getting a strong wireless connection from all distances from the ALLY router.
a) Check if other computers are experiencing the same issue. If not, the wireless adapter in your computer
may be experiencing problems or maybe older and have poor wireless performance.
b) Avoid placing the ALLY Router near or around Microwaves and 2.4GHz wireless phones.
c) Avoid using wireless channels that are crowded. Change the wireless channel on the ALLY Router.
d) Place the ALLY Router in a higher location near the center of your desired coverage location.
107
My wireless adapter does not connect at the maximum wireless speed.
a) Your wireless network adapter may be outdated and have older wireless technology not capable of
achieving the wireless network speeds of the Router. To achieve maximum wireless speeds, it is
required that you have an 802.11n (2.4GHz) or 802.11ac (5.0GHz) adapter. To obtain a data rate of
1733Mbps on the 5GHz band or 800Mbps on the 2.4GHz band the network adapter used to connect to
the Router must support the same data rates.
b) Wireless speeds degrade as you get further away from the wireless router.
c) Check that the wireless channel set on the Router is not crowded. Try changing the wireless channel
to another channel and test the speed again.
d) Do not use Internet websites (i.e. speedtest.net or other websites) to test your wireless speeds. Speed
test websites measure your Internet connection speed, which is controlled by your Internet provider.
Wireless speeds are for your local network and not your Internet connection. To test wireless speeds,
a local test or file transfer will be required to test the true wireless speed.
I cannot tell if MU-MIMO simultaneous data transfers are enabled and functioning.
108
a) Check that the connected devices support MU-MIMO technology. All connected devices must also
support MU-MIMO to enable the MU-MIMO function. If the connected device does not support MU-
MIMO it will function as a SU-MIMO (single-user MIMO) device.

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision
Application. This Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision applies to any Dispute arising from or
related to this “LIMITED WARRANTY, TERMS & CONDITIONS, LICENSES, DISCLAIMERS, COPYRIGHT &
REGULATORY INFORMATION,” including the License Agreement (collectively, the “Warranty and Agreement”)
or your use of our Products, Software or services and involving you and Amped Wireless. “Dispute,” for purposes
of this provision, means any dispute, action, or other controversy regardless of the particular cause of action(s)
asserted (i.e., it encompasses, among any other potential cause of action or legal basis, claims for breach of
contract, fraud, and violation of statute or regulation).
Notice. In the event of a Dispute, you must provide Amped Wireless with a notice of Dispute, which is a written
statement of the name, address and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the Dispute,
and the relief requested. You must send any Notice of Dispute by email to Amped Wireless at
legal@ampedwireless.com (stating Subject: Notice of Dispute Under Warranty and Agreement).
CLASS ACTION WAIVER. ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE
CONDUCTED SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. YOU WILL NOT SEEK TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD AS A CLASS
ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS
OR PROPOSES TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY. NO ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING WILL BE COMBINED
131
WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO ALL AFFECTED ARBITRATIONS OR
PROCEEDINGS.
Agreement to Arbitrate. If you and Amped Wireless do not resolve any Dispute by informal negotiation, any
other effort to resolve the Dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration governed by the United
States Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq, except as specified in the “Exceptions to Agreement
to Arbitrate” paragraph immediately below. Except as provided in the “Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate”
paragraph immediately below, you are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in litigation as a party or class
member) all Disputes in court before a judge or jury. Instead, all Disputes will be resolved before a neutral
arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right to judicial review under the FAA. Any court with
jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.
Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. (1) Small Claims Court. You may litigate any Dispute in small claims court,
in the county or other similar political subdivision in which you reside, if the Dispute meets all requirements to
be heard in the small claims court. If you initiate a claim in small claims court, you are responsible for all court
costs and fees. (2) Intellectual Property. All Disputes concerning any alleged misappropriation of your or Amped
Wireless’ intellectual property, will be resolved in court.
Arbitration Procedures. Any arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”)
in accordance with the AAA’s “Consumer Arbitration Rules” effective September 1, 2014, including the “Costs of
132
Arbitration (Including AAA Administrative Fees)” effective September 1, 2014 (collectively, the “Consumer
Procedures”).
Arbitration Costs. The Consumer Procedures provide for certain fees, specifically allocating some to the
consumer (you) and others to the business (Amped Wireless). If your claim is US$75,000 or less, Amped Wireless
will pay all of those specified fees and costs, including those allocated to the consumer. Amped Wireless does
not agree to bear any other costs. If your claim is more than US$75,000, the Consumer Procedures will govern
payment.
Laws And Rules Governing Arbitration. Except as provided in the Business Customer Disputes paragraph below,
the AAA's Consumer Procedures shall be applied to any Dispute between the parties. However, pursuant to
Consumer Arbitration Rule R-1(e), a party may raise the proper application of the Consumer Arbitration Rules
to an arbitrator for a final decision. This Warranty and Agreement, including the Binding Arbitration and Class
Action Waiver Provision, governs to the extent it conflicts with the Consumer Procedures. In ruling on a Dispute,
the neutral arbitrator will apply the terms of this Agreement and the laws of the State of California. You will
commence arbitration only in the county or other similar political subdivision in which you reside. The
arbitration proceedings will be conducted by conference call. However, if the proceedings are conducted
pursuant to the AAA Consumer Procedures, the arbitrator(s) shall have the discretionary authority to require a
face-to-face hearing upon the request of a party.
133
AAA Not Integral To Agreement To Arbitrate. You and Amped Wireless agree that the use of the AAA to
administer arbitration is not integral to the parties' agreement to arbitrate Disputes. If the AAA will not or cannot
conduct an arbitration, you and Amped Wireless shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a sole arbitrator who
shall resolve the Dispute as provided in the Consumer Procedures. If the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator,
a court of competent jurisdiction may appoint an arbitrator, who shall follow the AAA's Consumer Procedures.
Severability. If one or more parts of this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision are found to be
illegal, invalid or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Dispute, then, and only in that circumstance, those
parts will be severed and the Dispute will be resolved subject to all remaining parts of this Binding Arbitration
and Class Action Waiver Provision and all other provisions of this Warranty and Agreement. If such severance
results in all or some parts of a Dispute proceeding in a court of law, exclusive jurisdiction for any such court
proceeding shall be the state or federal courts sitting in the State of California. For purposes of any such court
proceeding, you consent to, and will not challenge, the California courts’ personal jurisdiction over you, and you
further waive objection based upon improper venue or forum non conveniens and will not seek transfer to
another district or jurisdiction. Any conflict between the Warranty and Agreement and the specific terms of the
Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision shall be governed by the Binding Arbitration and Class
Action Waiver Provision.
Business Customers Disputes. If you purchased a Product, Software or service for other than personal or
household use, all Disputes will be subject to this Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver Provision, with the
134
following exceptions: The arbitration proceedings, including the payment of costs, will be administered in
accordance with the AAA's Commercial Arbitration Rules (the "Commercial Procedures"). The Commercial
Procedures are appropriately applied to any Dispute between the parties, and you will not advocate otherwise
in any proceeding. However, this Warranty and Agreement, including the Binding Arbitration and Class Action
Waiver Provision, governs to the extent it conflicts with the Commercial Procedures.
