Other Device Information
Upon inserting a SIM card, the router begins to search for a signal from
the network provider. If the signals from the network provider can not be
reached, No Service is displayed. If the router is connected to radio
access network, then the network provider name, type of radio access
technology and signal strength are displayed.
If the router can not read the inserted SIM card, Read SIM Fail is
displayed on the screen. Try removing and re-inserting the SIM card. If
the problem persists, contact your network service provider to replace the
SIM card.
If the supported SIM card is locked to a specific ISP, Invalid SIM is
displayed when the Mobile Country Code (MCC) or Mobile Network Code

3. In the Subnet Mask field, enter the subnet mask associated with
the Destination IP.
4. In the Interface/Gateway IP field, click on the drop down list to
configure the IP value for the IP, LAN & Wireless, and Internet. IP
is the address of the gateway device that allows for contact
between the Router and the remote network or host. LAN &
Wireless and Internet indicates whether the Destination IP is on
the local network (LAN & Wireless) or WAN (Internet).
To apply the changes, click Save Settings.
To cancel the latest changes without saving the changes, click Undo.
To delete a client, activate the appropriate checkbox in the Select column

VPN Passthrough
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a type of secured private network
connection, built upon publicly-accessible infrastructure such as the
Internet.
IPSec Passthrough
IP Security (IPSec) provides authentication and encryption. Since it is
mainly a Layer 3 technology, it can secure all data on the network.
PPTP Passthrough
Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) allows you to establish virtual
private networks.
L2TP Passthrough
Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is an extension of the Point-to-Point
Tunneling Protocol and is also used to establish virtual private networks.

Wireless Settings
Enable WiFi Interface: Select this option to enable the WiFi feature on
the router.
Network Name (SSID): Network Name is used for identifying the
Wireless LAN (WLAN).
Standard Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible
channels depend on the Regulatory Domain (e.g in th e USA, it is 1 to 11 ).
WiFi Setup
28
Working Mode: From this drop-down menu, you can select the type of
wireless standard for your WiFi network.
Transmit Power: The power level for WiFi transmission to be used by
the router.
RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting. If
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be
made.
CTS Protection Mode: CTS (Clear To Send) is a function used to
minimize collisions among wireless devices on a wireless local area
network (WLAN). The default setting is Auto and the Router
automatically uses CTS Protection Mode when your Wireless-G
products are experiencing severe problems and are not able to transmit
to the Router in an environment with heavy traffic. This function boosts
the Router’s ability to catch all Wireless-B and Wireless-G
transmissions, but it severely decreases performance.
Preamble Length: The preamble is used by the client PC receiver to
acquire the wireless signal and synchronize with the router's transmitter.
The router supports Long Preamble and Short Preamble. Selecting
Long Preamble results in longer preamble transmission times yet
supports legacy 802.11 systems. Short Preamble reduces the
preamble transmission time but is not compatible with legacy 802.11
systems. The default setting, Short Preamble, should be used unless
you are experiencing WiFi problems such as frequent disconnects,
slow upload/download along with a low signal strength.
SSID Suppress: For security purposes, you may choose to hide your
network’s SSID by selecting Enable from the drop-down list. This will
prevent computers scanning for the presence of wireless networks to
detect your network name.
Security
Authentication Type: Allows you to configure the authentication method
used to the router to authenticate clients. The router supports the
following authentication types: Open System, 802.1x, Shared Key, WPA,
W P A 2 , W P A -W P A 2 -Mixed, WPA PSK, WPA2 PSK, WPA-W P A 2 -Mixed
PSK.
Encryption: Select the type of encryption on the data that is transmitted
between the router and the clients. The router supports the following
authentication types: WEP, TPIK, AES, TPIKAES.

29
Open System
This wireless standard uses no authentication.
Encryption: Choose NONE or WEP from the drop down list.
WEP: The Router supports two WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy)
standards: 64-bit and 128-bit. Select a standard from the drop-down list.
The 64-bits encryption requires 10 hexadecimal digits (letters a-f and
numbers 0-9 are valid). The 128-bits encryption requires 26 hexadecimal
digits (letters a-f and numbers 0-9 are valid).You can set up to four
different keys.
802.1x

Encryption: Only WEP is available.
W P A
WPA, or WiFi Protected Access, is a WiFi standard that was designed to
improve the security features of WEP. WPA uses two encryption methods,
TKIP and AES, with dynamic keys. This option features WPA used in
coordination with a RADIUS server. (This should only be used when a
RADIUS server is connected to the Router.)

authentication and allows the client PC to choose between the two
methods. This option features WPA used in coordination with a RADIUS
server. (This should only be used when a RADIUS server is connected to
the Router.)

WPA and WPA2 Mixed PSK means the router uses both WPA PSK and
W P A 2 PSK for authentication and allows the client PC to choose between
the two methods.
Encryption: Choose TKIP, AES, TKIPAES from the drop down list.
Reke y Interval: Enter a key renewal value to tell the Router how often it

WPS
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is a standard designed to easily setup and
automatically configure secure Wi-Fi networks between two WPS
supported devices. If the client PC supports WPS, the WPS feature can
be a user-friendly and simple process to get your Wi-Fi network up and
running.
Enable WPS: This enables the WPS feature on the router.
To initiate a WPS session between the router and the prospective client
PC, select either the PBC (Push-Button Configuration) Mode or PIN
Mode and click on the Start button. The client PC will have 2 minutes to
connect to the router before the current session times out.
PBC Mode: This mode allows the WPS session to be configured simply
by pressing the Start button on the web and on the client PC. Alternatively,
you can also press the WPS button on the side of router to initiate a
session.
PIN Mode: This mode uses a PIN code to configure the WPS session
between the router and the client PC. Enter a PIN code (maximum 8
digits consisting of 0-9) or click Generate to automatically generate a
random 8 digit number. The PIN entered on the client PC must match this
PIN code for a successful WPS configuration.

(for example Internet games, video conferencing, or VPN connections)
outside of the firewall while leaving the others protected. You can do this
using a Demilitarized Zone. This feature allows you to specify the IP
address of the computers that are placed outside the firewall of your
network.

provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation.
This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not
installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause
harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
- Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
- Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
- Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected.
- Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
