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.
 39   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.
 40 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.   - 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.

 42 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 ESR-9752.   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.
 43 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.
 44 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  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.
 45 It uses TKIP or CCMP (AES) to change the encryption key frequently. Press <Apply> button when you are done.   - MAC Address Filtering  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
 46  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.    - Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)  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.
 47    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.

 49  15  Firewall Settings   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    - 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.
