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.
67 Windows 7 and Vista To access the drive from your Windows desktop: Note: If the USB drive does not appear automatically under your Networked devices (Windows 7, Vista or Mac OS X), you will need to Map the Network Drive. a) Click the Start button. b) Click Computer. c) On the Computer page, the drive should appear on the left hand column under Network as AMPED_USB.

If the network drive does not appear on your Mac desktop, follow these steps: Open Finder. i. Select Preferences from the drop down menu. ii. Check show "Connected Servers". iii. The drive should now appear on your desktop.
70 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 working, you may try running through the Basic Setup Wizard again or contact our support department at 888-573-8820. The Wireless Settings shows the details of the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless networks. The Local Area Network settings displays the current configurations for local network IP address and DHCP server settings.
77 Management: Network Statistics Network statistics shows the data activity for each connection type on the Router (Internet, Wireless and Wired). The Wireless Connection statistics shows all data activity for both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless networks separately. 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.
80 Management: System Logs The System Log is useful for viewing the activity and history of your Router. The System Log is also used by Amped Wireless technicians to help troubleshoot your router when needed. It is recommended that you enable all logs in the event that troubleshooting is required. All log entries will be deleted each time the Router reboots or is powered off.

My Internet connection is unstable and drops intermittently. a) Power off your computer, the ALLY Router and your modem. Power on your modem and wait 2 minutes. Power on the Router and wait 1 minute for the router to initialize. Power on your computer and try again. b) Check to see if other computers are also having this problem. If they are not, check to see if your anti-virus software or firewall software is conflicting with your Internet connection. You may also try temporarily disabling all firewalls or anti-virus software to see if that is what is causing the problem.
103 c) If you have a PPPoE or another Internet connection requiring login credentials, you may need to adjust the reconnection or time out settings. If you are using the Web Menu for setup: Go to the IP Settings > Internet Connection (WAN) page and configure your Internet connection to automatically reconnect. For ALLY App based setups select manual setup once the Internet connection detection error page appears. d) If you are using Windows XP, check that your computer is using Service Pack 2 or greater. Windows XP users with Service Pack 1 may experience intermittent wireless connections. My Internet connection is abnormally slow. a) Check with your Internet provider to ensure that they are not experiencing system wide issues. b) Check with speedtest.net to see the speed of your Internet provider. Connect directly to your modem with your computer and check speedtest.net again. If the speed results are the same, the issue is with your Internet provider. Please contact your provider to troubleshoot the issue. c) Check the Internet connection speed on another computer that is connected to the Router. If the other computer does not have Internet speed problems, the networking equipment or operating system on your original computer may be outdated or may be experiencing problems. Viruses and other software may slow down a computer’s overall speed significantly. d) If you are using a wireless connection to the Router, check that your wireless signal strength is above 3 bars. If not, you may need to move closer to the Router.
104 Troubleshooting: Local Network Issues My computer is getting an IP address of 169.254.x.x and Windows says “Limited or no Connectivity”. a) Make sure the Router is powered on.b) Check that your computer’s network adapter is enabled and is set to “Obtain IP AddressAutomatically”.c) Release and Renew your IP Address on your computer. To do this on a Windows computer:- Click Start > Run and type CMD.- When the command prompt appears, type ipconfig/release and press enter.- Type ipconfig/renew and press enter.-Check that your computer’s network adapter has an IP address of 192.168.3.xd) Restart your computer and check again.e) Restart the Router and check again.f) Make sure DHCP is enabled in the Router’s Web Menu (Go to More Settings > IP Settings > Local AreaNetwork (LAN) > DHCP Settings.g) Check that your Firewall or Anti-Virus software is not preventing you from accessing shared devices onyou network.
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 ofachieving the wireless network speeds of the Router. To achieve maximum wireless speeds, it isrequired that you have an 802.11n (2.4GHz) or 802.11ac (5.0GHz) adapter. To obtain a data rate of1733Mbps on the 5GHz band or 800Mbps on the 2.4GHz band the network adapter used to connect tothe 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 channelto 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. Speedtest 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 alsosupport 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.I cannot connect my Windows Vista computer to the wireless network.

131WITH 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
132Arbitration (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.
133AAA 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
134following 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.
