the Starting IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than
192.168.1.253. The default Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100.
Maximum Number of DHCP Users: Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want
the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. The absolute maximum is 253 possible if 192.168.1.100 is your starting IP address. The default is 51.
Client Lease Time: The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be
allowed connection to the Router with their current dynamic IP address.
Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be "leased" this
dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day.
Static DNS 1-3: The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the Internet translates domain
or website names into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide
you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to utilize another,
enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up to three DNS
Server IP Addresses here. The Router will utilize these for quicker access to
functioning DNS servers.
WINS: The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC’s interaction
with the Internet. If you use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address
here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
Currently Assigned: Click the DHCP Clients Table button to see a list of PCs assigned
IP addresses by the Router. For each PC, the list shows the client hostname,

WX-5525R Dual Band AP Router
Beacon Interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon.
Enter a value between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by
the Router to synchronize the wireless network. The default value is 100.
DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 16384, 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.
RTS Threshold: Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor modifications
of the default value, 2347, are 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
Wireless Broadband Anywhere
20
WX-5525R Dual Band AP Router
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.
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 modifications of this value are recommended.
In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346.
Transmission Rate: The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of
your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission
speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the
fastest possible data rate and enable the Auto-Fallback feature. AutoFallback will negotiate the best possible connection speed between the
Router and a wireless client. The default setting is Auto.
Filters
The Filters screen allows you to block specific internal users from accessing the Internet.
You can set up filters by using MAC addresses, IP addresses, or network port numbers (or
