1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing Asante AWRT-550N Smart Wireless N Router. The AWRT-550N Wireless

N Router provides 2.4 GHz wireless frequency which allow more clean channels and less interference

for your wireless network. A full range of security features such as WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK, and WEP

provide the highest level of wireless network security. The built-in SmartHub Web Configuration Utility

has a unique ‘Easy Set up’ option that allows one to set up the router with no or minimum networking

knowledge. The built-in Web Configuration Utility also has the regular path to set up the router with an

easy-to-use user interface. AWRT-550N also has a USB port for connecting USB devices such as

external hard drive, thumb drive or USB printer to the network. In this way, devices can be easily

shared by users connected to the router.

SmartHub is a router with a very innovative design (Patent Pending) where offers user a smart way to

reach and to manage this router. The innovative features of this design include :

1) It can smartly redirect a login page and authenticate user whenever user bring up a browser. -

This significantly eliminates the burden to user who needs to remember the IP address and

technologies and figure out how to access a router.

2) It can be reached by entering “smarthub” on any browser and anytime. This design makes

SmartHub become a very friendly device instead of awkward IP address.

3) It can manage a list of user’s name and password so that administrator can easily

create/delete/monitor the user status without entering computer’s machine ID(MAC address) or

dynamic changing IP address).

4) Offers 2 levels of security system - (a) user access control and (b) wireless security where user

can has it discretion to select its provisioning depend on its need. Today’s Wifi encryption is a

complex technology that vertically increase the challenge to all users to know how to use it. And

yet, SmartHub gives a very efficient way and also retain wifi security requirements.

5) This access control method can persistently authenticate user whenever user’s trying to

reconnect to SmartHub. New user could be easily added on by creating a username and

password in a minute. Likewise, it can be erased afterward and without changing entire security

setting. Today’s Wifi static system, administrator may need to force to change setting after new

user is off and impact to all existing user to adopt new setting.

6) Smarthub’s smart access control method could be disabled if user has no need to control

security in this fashion. Simple go to Advanced Set Up-> management, and disable it.

6.2.4 Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings

You can configure various advanced wireless settings on this screen.

AP Isolation:

This isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your network

from each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not

with each other. To use this function, select Enabled.

Frame Burst: Frame Burst allows packet bursting which will increase overall network

speed.

Authentication Type: The default is set to Auto, which allows either Open System or

Shared Key authentication to be used. With

Open System

authentication, the sender

and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. With Shared Key

authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication.

Basic Rate: The Basic Rate setting is not one, but a series of rates at which the Router

can transmit. (The Basic Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to

specify the Router’s rate of data transmission, configure the Transmission Rate setting.)

Transmission Rate:

The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the

speed of your wireless network.

CTS Protection Mode: CTS (Clear-To-Send) Protection Mode should remain disabled

unless you are having severe problems with your wireless products not being able to

transmit to the Router in an environment with heavy latency wireless traffic. This

function boosts the Router’s ability to catch all wireless transmissions but will severely

decrease performance.

Beacon Interval: A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the

wireless network.

DTIM Interval: This value, between 3 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery

Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field informing clients of

the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When the Router

has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next

DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive the

broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1.

Fragmentation Threshold: This value 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 increase the Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation

Threshold too low may result in poor network performance. Only minor reduction of the

default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of

2346

RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of

the default value, 2347, is recommended. If a network packet is smaller than the preset

RTS threshold size, the RTS/CTS mechanism will not be enabled. The Router 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 RTS

Threshold value should remain at its default value of

2347
