Chapter 4 CongurationWHR-HP-GN User Manual 43AdvancedThe screen to congure the advanced wireless settings.Parameter MeaningBSS Basic Rate Set Set the communication speeds of administrative and communication control frames of the AirStation and wireless devices.Multicast Rate Set the communication speed of multi-cast packets.Reverse Direction Grant For faster wireless communication, you may enable receiving packets while sending packets.DTIM Period Set the beacon responding interval (1 -255) which is notied to a wireless device. This setting is eective only when the power management feature is enabled on a wireless device.Privacy Separator If enabled, the Privacy Separator blocks communication between wireless devices connected to the AirStation. Wireless devices will be able to connect to the Internet but not with each other. Devices that are connected to the AirStation with wired connections will still be able to connect to wireless devices normally.Output Power You may reduce the wireless radio power output. The power of a radio wave and the distance that that radio wave reaches are almost proportional, so if the output power is reduced, the distance that the signal reaches also becomes smaller.
WHR-HP-GN User Manual 44Chapter 4 CongurationWMMThe screen to set the priorities for specic communications the AirStation performs.
Chapter 4 CongurationWHR-HP-GN User Manual 45Parameter MeaningWMM WMM is a standard that includes basic Quality of Service (QoS) features for wireless networks. If disabled, QoS features will not be available.WMM-EDCA Parameters You don't usually need to change these settings. Using the default settings is recommended.Priority The following priorities may be applied to individual transmission packets: (Highest) 8, (High) 4, (Normal) 2, and (Low) 1. From the queue, these packets are processed in order of priority.CWmin, CWmax The maximum and minimum value of the contention window. The contention window is used in the frame collision avoidance structure performed in IEEE802.11, and generally the smaller the value in the window, the higher the probability that the queue obtains the right to send.AIFSN The interval to send frames. The unit of the AIFSN is a slot, just as the window dened by CWmin and CWmax is. The smaller the interval of sending frames, the faster the algorithm can restart. As a result, the priority of the queue is higher.TXOP Limit The period of time that the queue can use after obtaining the right to send. The unit is 32 ms. The longer this time, the more frames can be sent per right to send. However, the que may interfere with other packet transmissions. If TXOP Limit is set to 0 (zero), only one frame can be sent per right to send.Admission Control Restricts new frames from interfering with a previous queue. New packets are prioritized lower until a queue of them is collected. As the new queue accumulates more packets, its priority increases.
WHR-HP-GN User Manual 46Chapter 4 CongurationMAC FilterThe screen to congure the access restrictions from wireless devices.Parameter MeaningEnforce MAC Filtering Enable to restrict wireless connections to devices with registered MAC addresses.Registration List Displays the MAC addresses of registered devices which are permitted to connect wirelessly.[Edit Registration List] Click this button to add a MAC address of a wireless device to the list of permitted devices.MAC Addresses to be Registered Enter a MAC address of a wireless device you permit to connect to the AirStation.

Chapter 4 CongurationWHR-HP-GN User Manual 47Multicast ControlThe screen to congure restrictions on unnecessary multicast packets sent to the wireless LAN port.Parameter MeaningSnooping If enabled, snooping supervises multicast administrative packets such as IGMP and restricts unnecessary multicast transfers to wired or wireless ports.Multicast Aging Time Set the time to hold the data from multicast snooping in the range of 1 to 3600 (seconds).You need to enter a value which is bigger than the interval of a IGMP/MLD query.
WHR-HP-GN User Manual 48Chapter 4 CongurationSecurity (Router Mode only)Firewall (Router Mode only)The screen to congure rewall features of the AirStation.Parameter MeaningLog Output Enable to output a log of rewall activity.Basic Rules Enable to use any of the quick lters. Precongured quick lters include:Prohibit NBT and Microsoft-DS Routing When this is enabled, you cannot use the Microsoft network feature from the Internet side to the LAN side and from the LAN side to the Internet. You can congure this with PPPoE if you select “Use PPPoE Client” or “Use IP Unnumbered” in Method of Acquiring IP address (on page 25), or if Easy Setup identied a PPPoE connection during setup.
Chapter 4 CongurationWHR-HP-GN User Manual 49Parameter MeaningReject IDENT Requests Enabling this option will answer IDENT requests from the Internet side with corresponding rejection packets. Enable this option if you experienced slower transfer speed for network application such as sending mail, using ftp or displaying on browser. If you have congured transfer of IDENT requests to the LAN side computer in the address translation settings (DMZ or TCP port:113), that setting has higher priority, and overrides this setting.Block Ping from Internet If this is enabled, the AirStation will not respond to pings from the Internet side. You can congure this with PPPoE if you select “Use PPPoE Client” or “Use IP Unnumbered” in Method of Acquiring IP address (page 25), or if Easy Setup identied a PPPoE connection during setup.

Chapter 6 Trouble ShootingWHR-HP-GN User Manual 81Issue:What can I do if my wireless connection drops randomly or seems slow?Answer:There are many environmental factors that may aect this behavior. First, ensure the issue is not range related by locating the wireless router and the device dropping connection in closer proximity and check whether the connection drops continue.In some cases, interference from other wireless networks or sources such as 2.4 GHz wireless phones may impact performance. To work around this scenario, change the wireless channel used by your wireless router.Log in to the wireless router with your browser. Click on the Wireless Cong tab and then the Basic tab. The Wireless Channel setting can be selected from channels 1 to 11. If an Auto-Channel option is available, attempt to use this option to remedy the problem. If Auto-Channel is unavailable, manually select an alternate channel and click "Apply".Issue:Though I am able to successfully make a connection with my wireless router, I am unable to access the Internet with my web browser.Answer:First, power o the Cable or DSL modem, the wireless router, and your computer. Move the router's mode switch to the on position. Verify that the modem is connected to the wireless router with an Ethernet cable to the WAN port. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the wireless router and wait another minute. Power on the computer. Open a browser on the computer and navigate to a familiar website to verify whether the Internet connection is functioning normally.If after a these steps, an Internet connection is still unavailable, power o the Cable or DSL modem and computer again and directly connect your computer to the Cable or DSL modem with a cable between the computer and the port on the modem. Power on the modem and wait one minute. Power on the computer and again check for an Internet connection.If an Internet connection IS NOT available with a direct connection to the computer, please call the Internet Service Provider who installed the modem.If an Internet connection IS available with a direct connection to the computer, please call our customer support.
