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.
31
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.
32
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.
33
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.
34
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
ESR9850.
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.
35
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
36
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.
37
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.
38
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

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
43
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
