31 Radio: You can turn on/off wireless radio. If wireless Radio is off, you cannot associate with AP through wireless. Mode: In this device, we support three operation modes which are AP router, AP route with WDS (we will introduce this function later section), and repeater. If you choose AP Router Mode, you can select AP or WDS function in the drop-down menu. Band: You can select the wireless standards running on your network environment.  Band 2.4G: 2.4 GHz(B): If all of your clients are 802.11b, select this one. 2.4 GHz(G): If all of your clients are 802.11g, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B/G): Either an 802.11b or an 802.11g wireless devices are in your environment. 2.4 GHz(N): If all of your clients are 802.11n, select this one. 2.4 GHz(B/G/N): Either 802.11b, 802.11g, or 802.11n wireless devices are in your environment.  Band 5G 5 GHz (A): If all of your clients are 802.11a, select this one. 5 GHz (N): If all of your clients are 802.11n, select this one. 5 GHz (A/N): Either 802.11a or 802.11n wireless devices are in your environment. Enable ESSID: We support 4 multiple SSIDs in this device. Please select how many SSIDs you would like to use in your network environment. ESSID1~4: ESSID is the name of your wireless network. It might be a unique name to identify this wireless device in the Wireless LAN. It is case sensitive and up to 32 printable characters. You might change the default ESSID for added security. Check Channel Time: If Auto Channel is enabled, you can choose a period from the drop-down menu. AP will change to a clean channel periodically.
32 6.2. Mode: WDS Wireless Distribution System, a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access point, allows a wireless network to be expended using multiple access points without a wired backbone to like them. Each WDS APs need setting as same channel and encryption type. MAC address 1~4: Please enter the MAC address of the neighboring APs that participates in WDS, we support 4 devices now. Set Security: WDS Security depends on your AP security settings. Note: it does not support mixed mode such as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Mixed mode. 6.3. Advanced This tab allows you to set the advanced wireless options. The options included are Authentication Type, Fragment Threshold, RTS Threshold, Beacon Interval, and Preamble Type. You should not change these parameters unless you know what effect the changes will have on the router.
33 Fragment Threshold: This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance. RTS Threshold: When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless router will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet. Beacon Interval: is the interval of time that this wireless router broadcasts a beacon. A Beacon is used to synchronize the wireless network. DTIM Period: Enter a value between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets. The access point will use the highest possible selected transmission rate to transmit the data packets. N Data Rate: The “Data Rate” is the rate that this access point uses to transmit data packets for N compliant wireless nodes. Highest to lowest data rate can be fixed. Channel Bandwidth: This is the range of frequencies that will be used. Preamble Type: The “Long Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN compatibility while the “Short Preamble” can provide better wireless LAN performance. CTS Protection: It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a little lower due to a lot of frame-network that is transmitted. TX Power: This can be set to a bare minimum or maximum power.
34 6.4. Security This Access Point provides complete wireless LAN security functions, included are WEP, IEEE 802.1x, IEEE 802.1x with WEP, WPA with pre-shared key and WPA with RADIUS. With these security functions, you can prevent your wireless LAN from illegal access. Please make sure your wireless stations use the same security function, and are setup with the same security key.
35 ESSID Selection: This broadband router support multiple ESSID, you could select and set up the wanted ESSID. Broadcast ESSID: If you enabled “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the coverage of this access point can discover this access point easily. If you are building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. Disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security. WMM: Wi-Fi MultiMedia if enabled supports QoS for experiencing better audio, video and voice in applications. Encryption: When you choose to disable encryption, it is very insecure to operate ESR7750. Enable 802.1x Authentication IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to login to this Access Point before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode only authenticates users by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication.
36 WEP Encryption When you select 64-bit or 128-bit WEP key, you have to enter WEP keys to encrypt data. You can generate the key by yourself and enter it. You can enter four WEP keys and select one of them as a default key. Then the router can receive any packets encrypted by one of the four keys. Authentication Type: There are two authentication types: "Open System" and "Shared Key". When you select "Open System", wireless stations can associate with this wireless router without WEP encryption. When you select "Shared Key", you should also setup a WEP key in the "Encryption" page. After this has been done, make sure the wireless clients that you want to connect to the device are also setup with the same encryption key. Key Length: You can select the WEP key length for encryption, 64-bit or 128-bit. The larger the key will be the higher level of security is used, but the throughput will be lower. Key Type: You may select ASCII Characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal Digits (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) to be the WEP Key. Key1 - Key4: The WEP keys are used to encrypt data transmitted in the wireless network. Use the following rules to setup a WEP key on the device. 64-bit WEP: input 10-digits Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 5-digit ASCII character as the encryption keys. 128-bit WEP: input 26-digit Hex values (in the "A-F", "a-f" and "0-9" range) or 13-digit ASCII characters as the encryption keys. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other sections by choosing Continue, or choose Apply to apply the settings and reboot the device. WPA Pre-Shared Key Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use a
37 pre-shared key to authenticate wireless stations and encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. So the encryption key is not easy to be cracked by hackers. This is the best security available. WPA-Radius Encryption Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an advanced security standard. You can use an external RADIUS server to authenticate wireless stations and provide the session key to encrypt data during communication. It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. Press <Apply> button when you are done.
38 6.5. Filter This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network. Enable wireless access control: Enable the wireless access control function Adding an address into the list Enter the "MAC Address" and "Comment" of the wireless station to be added and then click <Add>. The wireless station will now be added into the "Current Access Control List" below. If you are having any difficulties filling in the fields, just click "Clear" and both "MAC Address" and "Comment" fields will be cleared. Remove an address from the list If you want to remove a MAC address from the "Current Access Control List ", select the MAC address that you want to remove in the list and then click "Delete Selected". If you want to remove all the MAC addresses from the list, just click the <Delete All> button. Click <Reset> will clear your current selections. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
39 6.6. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) WPS is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don’t have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you. The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS via PIN code. If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the ‘Start to Process’ button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the wireless router. WPS: Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the WPS function. WPS Current Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set, you’ll see a ‘Configured’ message here. Otherwise, you’ll see ‘UnConfigured’. Self Pin Code: This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices. SSID: This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router. Authentication Mode: It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless connection. Passphrase Key: It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by the wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information when using a device which doesn’t support WPS.
40 Interface: If device is set to repeater mode, you can choose “Client” interface to connect with other AP by using WPS, otherwise you may choose “AP” interface to do WPS with other clients. WPS via Push Button: Press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless devices within 2 minutes. WPS via PIN: You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless device within 2 minutes.
41 6.7. Client List This WLAN Client Table shows the Wireless client associate to this Wireless Router.
42 6.8. Policy Policy provides a list of control policies. These settings define whether wireless or wired clients are able to “see” each in the LAN.  If you are offering Internet access to your clients, please enable WAN connection.  If you allow communication between Wireless clients please enable the second item.  If you allow communication between Wireless client and Wired client please enable the last item.  Disable WAN connection if you do not provide Internet access.  Disable the items if you would like to enhance privacy between clients.
43 7. FIREWALL 7.1. Enable The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply
44 7.2. Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server. Enable DMZ: Enable/disable DMZ LAN IP Address: Fill-in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN Network that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations.
45 7.3. Denial of Service (DoS) The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log the events. Ping of Death: Protections from Ping of Death attack. Discard Ping From WAN: The router’s WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests Port Scan: Protects the router from Port Scans. Sync Flood: Protects the router from Sync Flood attack.
46 7.4. - MAC Filter If you want to restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications / services (e.g. Internet websites, email, FTP etc.), and then this is the place to set that configuration.

Quality of Service (QoS) QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule
56 “Others”. The rule with a smaller priority number has a higher priority; the rule with a larger priority number has a lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down. Port-based Qos This is hardware port-based QoS control method. It will limit the packets throughput in LAN1~4, WAN port. Enable Port-based QoS: Check this to enable port-based QoS functionality for the LAN/WAN port. You can also uncheck to disable. Priority: High or Low priority level of the transmit packets.
