I-4. RJ-45 Splitter Cable
The BR-6288ACL includes an RJ-45 splitter cable in the package contents. This
plugs into the “Network” port of the BR-6288ACL and splits the port into two
separate Ethernet ports – providing two ports instead of one, as shown
below.
In Wi-Fi router mode, one port is the WAN (Network) port. The
WAN port connects directly to your modem.
In Wi-Fi router mode, the other port is the LAN port. The LAN port
is for wired connections to other network devices (e.g. computer).
In other modes, both ports function as LAN ports for wired network devices
(e.g. computers, games consoles etc.), and in access point mode also for
connecting to your router.
I-5. Wi-Fi Power Switch
After setup you can use the Wi-Fi power switch to adjust the strength of the
BR-6288ACL’s wireless radio if you wish. Normal mode uses full 100% wireless
power while green mode uses 25% wireless power.
I-6. Safety Information
In order to ensure the safe operation of the device and its users, please read
and act in accordance with the following safety instructions.
1. The device is designed for indoor use only; do not place it outdoors.
2. Do not place the device in or near hot/humid places, such as a kitchen or
bathroom.
3. Do not pull any connected cable with force; carefully disconnect it from the
BR-6288ACL.
4. Handle the device with care. Accidental damage will void the warranty of
the device.
5. The device contains small parts which are a danger to small children under
3 years old. Please keep the device out of reach of children.
6. Do not place the device on paper, cloth, or other flammable materials. The
device may become hot during use.
7. There are no user-serviceable parts inside the device. If you experience
problems with the device, please contact your dealer of purchase and ask
for help.
8. The device is an electrical device and as such, if it becomes wet for any
reason, do not attempt to touch it without switching the power supply off.
Contact an experienced electrical technician for further help.
II. Installation
1. Plug in the BR-6288ACL using the included power adapter and/or USB

DDNS
Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a service which provides a hostname-to-IP service for
dynamic IP users. The changing nature of dynamic IPs means that it can be
difficult to access a service provided by a dynamic IP user; a DDNS service
though can map such dynamic IP addresses to a fixed hostname, for easier
access. The router supports several DDNS service providers, for more details
and to register for a DDNS account please visit the DDNS providers website(s),
examples of which are listed below.

DMZ
A Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is an isolated area in your local network where
private IP addresses are mapped to specified Internet IP addresses, allowing
unrestricted access to the private IP addresses but not to the wider local
network.
You can define a virtual DMZ host here. This is useful for example, if a
network client PC cannot run an application properly from behind an NAT
firewall, since it opens the client up to unrestricted two-way access.
Enable DMZ
Check/uncheck the box to enable/disable the
device’s DMZ function.
Public
Select “Dynamic IP” or “Static IP” here.
For “Dynamic IP” select an Internet connection
session from dropdown menu.
For “Static IP” enter the IP address that you want
to map to a specific private IP address.
Client PC
Enter the private IP address that the internet IP
address will be mapped to.
Computer Name
Select a computer name from the list and click “<<”

Table”.

DoS
Denial-of-Service (DoS) is a common form of malicious attack against a
network. The router’s firewall can protect against such attacks.
If you are not familiar with these functions, it is recommended you keep the
default settings.
89
Ping of Death
Specify the frequency of ping of death packets
which will trigger the router’s DoS protection
function.
Discard Ping from Check this box and the router will not answer
WAN
ping requests from the Internet.
Port Scan
Intruders use “port scanners” to detect open
Internet IP address ports. Check each type of
port scan to prevent.
Sync Flood
Specify the frequency of sync flood packets
which will trigger the DoS protection function.

III-3-7. QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) is a feature to manage
Internet bandwidth efficiently. Some applications
require more bandwidth than others to function
properly, and QoS allows you to ensure that sufficient
bandwidth is available. Minimum or maximum bandwidth can be guaranteed
for a specified application.
QoS can improve the BR-6288ACL’s performance. QoS is
recommended to optimize performance for online gaming.
III-3-7-1.

iQoS
iQoS is a more intuitive and automated tool to manage internet bandwidth
than manually configuring the settings using QoS. For online gamers or users
with bandwidth requirements for audio/video, iQoS is a useful function.
iQoS cannot be used in conjunction with QoS and vice-versa.
When one is enabled, the other is automatically disabled.
Check/uncheck the box “Enable iQoS” to enable/disable the iQoS function,
and then enter your bandwidth limits and arrange the network application
icons in priority order in the “Current iQoS Table”. Icons with higher priority
will be assigned bandwidth more efficiently for better performance.
