WPS Although home Wi-Fi networks have become more and more popular, users still have trouble with the initial set up of network. This obstacle forces users to use the open security and increases the risk of eavesdropping. Therefore, The Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is designed to ease set up of security-enabled Wi-Fi networks and subsequently network management. The largest difference between WPS-enabled devices and legacy devices is that users do not need the knowledge about SSID, channel and security settings, but they could still surf in a security-enabled Wi-Fi network. This device supports Push Button method and PIN method for WPS. The following sub-paragraphs will describe the function of each item. The webpage is as below.

41 DMZ Host: Select to enable or disable the DMZ feature. DMZ Host IP Address: Enter a IP address of the local host. This feature sets a local host to be exposed to the Internet Advance – Used only on Router mode settings The Advance setting is for the WLAN ADSL Router is configured on Router mode only. Please refer the Mode setting in page 72. Wireless Advanced Settings These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have a sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your WLAN ADSL Router. Authentication Type: Open System: Open System authentication is not required to be successful while a client may decline to authenticate with any particular other client. Shared Key: Shared Key is only available if the WEP option is implemented. Shared Key authentication supports authentication of clients as either a member of those who know a shared secret key or a member of those who do not. IEEE 802.11 Shared Key authentication accomplishes this without the need to transmit the secret key in clear. Requiring the use of the WEP privacy mechanism. Auto: Auto is the default authentication algorithm. It will change its authentication type automatically to fulfill client’s requirement.
42 Fragment Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2000. It specifies the maximum size for a packet before data is fragmented into multiple packets. If you experience a high packet error rate, you may slightly increases the “Fragment Threshold” value within the value range of 256 to 2346. Setting this value too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor modifications of this value are recommended. The default is 2346. RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2000. Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications are recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset “RTS threshold” size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The ADSL modem (or AP) 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. The default is 2347. Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value between 20 and 1024. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the ADSL modem (or AP) to synchronize the wireless network. The default is 100. Data Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You should select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the WLAN ADSL Router automatically use the fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. Auto-Fallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the AP and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto. Preamble Type: The Preamble Type defines the length of the CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Check) block for communication between the AP and mobile wireless stations. Make sure to select the appropriate preamble type. Note that high network traffic areas should use the short preamble type. CRC is a common technique for detecting data transmission errors. Broadcast SSID: Select to enable or disable the Broadcast SSID feature. If this option is enabled, the device will automatically transmit their network name (SSID) into open air at regular interval. This feature is intended to allow clients to dynamically discover and roam between WLANs; if this option is disabled, the device will hide its SSID. When this is done, the station cannot directly discover its WLAN and MUST be configure with the SSID. Note that in a home Wi-Fi network, roaming is largely unnecessary and the SSID broadcast feature serves no useful purpose. You should disable this feature to improve the security of your WLAN.
43 Relay Blocking: Select to enable or disable the Relay Blocking feature. When Relay Blocking is enabled, wireless clients will not be able to directly access other wireless clients. WMM support: Select to enable or disable the WMM (Wi-FI Multimedia) QoS feature. Access Control This feature allows administrator to have access control by enter MAC address of client stations.
