3.3 Security
This section allows you to encrypt your wireless network to block unauthorized accesses and malicious
packet sniffing.
27
Wireless N450 Home Router
Three security modes are available: None, WEP, and WPA‐PSK/WPA2‐PSK.
WEP
WEP is intended to provide data confidentiality comparable to that of a traditional wired network. Two
methods of authentication can be used with WEP: Open System authentication and Shared Key
authentication.
z Authentication Type: Select Open or Shared from the drop‐down list.
z WEP Key Format: Select Hex or ASCII from the drop‐down list.
z Key Select: Select a key from the preset keys 1‐4 for current use.
WPA‐PSK
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It enhances data encryption
through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128‐bit per‐packet key, meaning that it
dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to
prevent data packets from being tampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless
network. WPA adopts enhanced encryption algorithm over WEP.
28
Wireless N450 Home Router
Cipher Type: Select AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol)
&AES.
z Security Key: Enter a security key, which must be between 8‐63 ASCII characters long.
z Key Renewal Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed.
WPA2‐PSK
WPA2 is based on 802.11i and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. It is more secured
than WPA and WEP.
Cipher Type: Select AES (advanced encryption standard) or TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol)
&AES.
Security Key: Enter a security key, which must be between 8‐63 ASCII characters long.
Key Renewal Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key to be changed.
3.4 Advanced
This section allows you to configure advanced settings, including AP Isolation, Beacon interval，Fragment
threshold, RTS threshold, and DTIM interval, etc.
29
Wireless N450 Home Router
AP Isolation: Isolates clients connecting to the master SSID.
Beacon Interval: A time interval between any two consecutive Beacon packets sent by an Access Point
to synchronize a wireless network. DO NOT change the default value of 100 unless necessary.
Fragment Threshold: Specify a Fragment Threshold value. Any wireless packet exceeding the preset
value will be divided into several fragments before transmission. DO NOT change the default value of
2346 unless necessary.
RTS Threshold: If a packet exceeds such set value, RTS/CTS scheme will be used to reduce collisions.
Set it to a smaller value provided that there are distant clients and interference. For normal SOHO, it is
recommended to keep the default value unchanged, otherwise, the router performance may be
degraded.
DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message) Interval is a countdown informing clients of
the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When such packets arrive in the
router’s buffer, the router will send DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) and DTIM interval to alert
clients of the receiving packets.
WMM‐Capable: WMM is QoS for your wireless network. Enabling this option may better stream
wireless multimedia data (such as video or audio).
ASPD Capable：Select to enable/disable the auto power saving mode.
3.5 Wireless Access Control

●
Downlink Bandwidth : Max downlink traffic.
●
Description: Briefly describe the current entry.
4.2 DDNS
Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real time of Internet Domain Name System (DNS)
name servers. We use a numeric IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to
Internet. The address may either be stable ("static"), or may change from one session on the Internet to the
next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to remember and an address which changes
unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static host name to the user.
Whenever the user is allocated a new IP address it is communicated to the DDNS provider by software
running on a computer or network device at that address. The provider distributes the association between
the host name and the address to the Internet's DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. The
result is uninterrupted access to devices and services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained.
●
Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop‐down menu.
●
User Name: Enter the DDNS user name registered with your DDNS service provider.
●
Password: Enter the DDNS Password registered with your DDNS service provider.
●
Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name with your DDNS service provider.
●
Connection Status: Displays current status of connection with the DDNS server.
Click Save to save your settings.
4.3 Virtual Server
The Virtual Server feature grants Internet users access to services on your LAN. It is useful for hosting online
services such as FTP, Web, or game servers. For each Virtual Server, you define a WAN port on your router
for redirection to an internal LAN IP Address.
43
Wireless N450 Home Router
●
Ext Port ‐ Int Port: External Port ‐ Internal Port, enter the WAN/LAN service ports.
●
Internal IP: The IP address of a computer used as a server in LAN.
●
Protocol: Includes TCP, UDP, and Both. Select “Both” if you are not sure about which protocol to use
●
Enable: The corresponding entry takes effect only if you checked this option.
●
Delete: Remove a corresponding entry
●
Well‐known Service Port: The well‐known Service Port lists widely used protocol ports. Simply select a
port, an entry ID, and click the "Add to" button to transfer the selected port to the corresponding fields
of the selected entry. In case you cannot find the port you will need to enter it manually.
Example: You want to share some large files with your friends who are not in your LAN, however, it is not
convenient to transfer such large files across the network. You can set up your own PC as a FTP server and
use the Virtual Server feature to let your friends access these files. Assuming that the static IP address of
the FTP server (Namely, your PC) is 192.168.0.110, you will want your friends to access this FTP server on
the default port of 21 using the TCP protocol, details are explained below:
1. Enter 21 in both Ext Port and Int Port fields or select FTP from Well‐known Service Port and an entry ID
21 will be automatically transferred to the corresponding fields of the selected entry.
2. Enter 192.168.0.110 for the IP Address, select TCP and then select Enable.
44
Wireless N450 Home Router
3. Click Save to save your settings.
Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in their browsers to access your FTP server.
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, Assuming the router's WAN IP address is 172.16.102.89, then your friends need to enter
"ftp://172.16.102.89: 21" in their browsers.
Note
If you include port 80 in this section, you must set the port for remote (web‐based) management to a
different number other than 80, such as 8080, otherwise the virtual server feature may not take effect.
4.4 DMZ Host
In some cases, a computer may need to be completely exposed to the Internet for implementation of a
2‐way communication. To do so, we will set it as a DMZ host.
45
Wireless N450 Home Router
●
Enable: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the DMZ host feature.
●
DMZ Host IP: Enter the IP address of a computer on your LAN which you want to set as a DMZ host. The
DMZ host should be connected to a LAN port on the router.
Note
1. Once a PC is set to a DMZ host, it will be completely exposed to Internet, and thus may be vulnerable to
attacks as related firewall settings become inoperative.
2. Users on the WAN can access the DMZ host through a corresponding WAN IP address.
4.5 UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows a network device to discover and connect to other devices on the
network. With this feature enabled, hosts in the LAN can request the device to perform special port
forwarding so as to enable external hosts to access resources on internal hosts.
●
Enable UPnP: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the UPnP feature.
Note
UPnP works in Windows ME, Windows XP, or later, or in an environment with installed application software
that supports UPnP. Operational systems needs to be integrated with or installed with Directx 9.0.

For example: If you want to allow only the PC at the IP address of 218.88.93.33 from the Internet to access
the router’s web‐based utility via port 8080, then configure the same settings as shown below on your
router.
53
Wireless N450 Home Router
Note
1. The default port is 8080. Do not change it.
2. To access the router via port 8080, enter "http://x.x.x.x:8080" where "x.x.x.x" represents the Internet IP
address of the router and 8080 is the port used for the Web‐Management interface. Assuming the router's
Internet IP address is 220.135.211.56, then simply replace the "x.x.x.x" with "220.135.211.56" (namely,
http://220.135.211.56:8080).
Leaving the IP address field at "0.0.0.0" makes the router remotely accessible to all the PCs on the Internet.
Entering a specific IP address, such as 218.88.93.33, makes the router only remotely accessible to the PC at
the specified IP address.
5.5 DDOS Defence
The DDOS Defence feature effectively blocks ICMP, UDP, and SYN flooding attacks. When the number of
ICMP, UDP, or SYN packets received exceeds the defined threshold, the router will record its IP and MAC
addresses in the "DDOS Defence List".
● ICMP Flood: If an IP receives the number of ICMP request packets that exceeds the defined limit
continuously from the same sender within one second, then such IP is considered to encounter an ICMP
Flood attack.
● UDP Flood：If an IP receives, on an identical port, UDP packets exceeding the defined limit continuously
from the same sender within a second, then the port is suffering a UDP Flood attack.
● SYN Flood: If an IP receives, on an identical port, TCP SYN packets exceeding defined limit continuously
from the same sender within a second, then the port is suffering a SYN Flood attack.
5.6 SPI Firewall
Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It
validates that the traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol.

This section provides solutions to problems that may occur during installation and operation of the device.
Read the following if you are running into problems. If your problem is not covered here, please feel free to
go to www.tendacn.com to find a solution or email your problems to: support@tenda.com.cn or
support02@tenda.com.cn. We will be more than happy to help you out as soon as possible.
1. Q: I entered the device’s LAN IP address in the web browser but cannot access the utility. What should
I do?
a.Check whether device is functioning correctly. The SYS LED should blink a few seconds after device is
powered up. If it does not light up, then some internal faults may have occurred.
b.Verify physical connectivity by checking whether a corresponding port’s link LED lights up. If not, try a
different cable. Note that an illuminated light does NOT ALWAYS indicate successful connectivity.
c. Run the "ping 192.168.0.1" command. If you get replies from 192.168.0.1, open your browser and verify
that Proxy server is disabled. In case that ping fails, press and hold the "RESET" button on your device for 7
seconds to restore factory default settings, and then run "ping192.168.0.1" again.
d. Contact our technical support for help if the problem still exists after you tried all the above.
2. Q: What should I do if I forget the login password to my device?
A: Reset your device by pressing the Reset button for over 7 seconds.
Note
All settings will be deleted and restored to factory defaults once you pressed the Reset button.
3. Q: My computer shows an IP address conflict error after having connected to the device. What should I
do?
a.Check if there are other DHCP servers present in your LAN. If there are other DHCP servers except your
router, disable them immediately.
b.The default IP address of the device is 192.168.0.1; make sure this address is not used by another PC or
device. In case that two computers or devices share the same IP addresses, change either to a different
address.
4.Q: I cannot access Internet and send/receive emails; what should I do?
This problem mainly happens to users who use the PPPoE or Dynamic IP Internet connection type. You
need to change the MTU size (1492 by default). In this case, go to “WAN Settings” to change the MTU value
from default 1480 to 1450 or 1400, etc.
5. Q: How do I share resources on my computer with users on Internet through the device?
To let Internet users access internal servers on your LAN such as e‐mail server, Web, FTP, via the device, use
the "Virtual Server" feature. To do so, follow steps below:
Step 1: Create your internal server, make sure the LAN users can access these servers and you need to know
related service ports, for example, port number for Web server is 80; FTP is 21; SMTP is 25 and POP3 is 110.
Step 2: Enter Port Forwarding (also called Port Range Forwarding on some products) screen from device
web UI.
Step 3: Complete the Start Port (also called External/Ext Port on some products) and End Port (also known
as Internal Port on some products) fields, say, 80‐80.
Step 4: Input the internal server’s IP address. For example, assuming that your Web server’s IP address is
192.168. 0.10, then simply input it.
Step 5: Select a proper protocol type: TCP, UDP, or Both depending on which protocol(s) your internal host
is using.

Appendix 4 Glossary
Channel
A communication channel, also known as channel, refers either to a physical transmission medium such as a
wire or to a logical connection over a multiplexed medium such as a radio channel. It is used to transfer an
information signal, such as a digital bit stream, from one or more transmitters to one or more receivers. If
there is only one AP in the range, select any channel you like. The default is Auto.
If there are several APs coexisting in the same area, it is advisable that you select a different channel for
each AP to operate on, minimizing the interference between neighboring APs. For example, if 3 American‐
standard APs coexist in one area, you can set their channels respectively to 1, 6 and 11 to avoid mutual
interference.
SSID
Service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a particular 802.11 wireless LAN. It is the name of a specific
wireless network. To let your wireless network adapter roam among different APs, you must set all APs’
SSID to the same name.
WPA/WPA2
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It enhances data encryption
through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) which is a 128‐bit per‐packet key, meaning that it
dynamically generates a new key for each packet. WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to
prevent data packets from being hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless
network. The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with the full IEEE 802.11i standard and uses
Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in addition to TKIP encryption protocol to guarantee better security
than that provided by WEP or WPA. Currently, WPA is supported by Windows XP SP1.
IEEE 802.1X Authentication
IEEE 802.1X Authentication is an IEEE Standard for port‐based Network Access Control (PNAC). It is part of
the IEEE 802.1 group of networking protocols. It provides an authentication mechanism to devices wishing
to attach to a LAN or WLAN.IEEE 802.1X defines the encapsulation of EAP over LAN or EAPOL. 802.1X
authentication involves three parties: a supplicant, an authenticator, and an authentication server. The
supplicant is a client device (such as a laptop) that wishes to attach to the LAN/WLAN ‐ though the term
'supplicant' is also used interchangeably to refer to the software running on the client that provides
credentials to the authenticator. The authenticator is a network device, such as an Ethernet switch or
wireless access point; and the authentication server is typically a host running software supporting the
RADIUS and EAP protocols. The authenticator acts like a security guard to a protected network. The
supplicant (i.e. client device) is not allowed access through the authenticator to the protected side of the
network until the supplicant’s identity has been validated and authorized. With 802.1X port‐based
authentication, the supplicant provides credentials, such as user name / password or digital certificate, to
the authenticator, and the authenticator forwards the credentials to the authentication server for
verification. If the authentication server determines the credentials are valid, the supplicant (client device)
is allowed to access resources located on the protected side of the network.
PPPOE
The Point‐to‐Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a network protocol for encapsulating PPP frames inside
Ethernet frames. Integrated PPP protocol implements authentication, encryption, and compression
functions that traditional Ethernet cannot provide and can also be used in the cable modem and digital
subscriber line (DSL) and Ethernet that provide access service to the users. Essentially, it is a protocol that
allows to establish a point‐to‐point tunnel between two Ethernet interfaces within an Ethernet broadcast
domain.

DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for computers, services, or any
resource connected to the Internet or a private network. It associates various information with domain
names assigned to each of the participating entities. A Domain Name Service resolves queries for these
names into IP addresses for the purpose of locating computer services and devices worldwide. An
often‐used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet
by translating human‐friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses.
WDS
A wireless distribution system (WDS) is a system enabling the wireless interconnection of access points in
an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without
the traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. All base stations in a wireless distribution
system must be configured to use the same radio channel, method of encryption (none, WEP, or WPA) and
the same encryption keys. They may be configured to different service set identifiers. WDS also requires
every base station to be configured to forward to others in the system. WDS may also be considered a
repeater mode because it appears to bridge and accept wireless clients at the same time (unlike traditional
bridging).WDS may be incompatible between different products (even occasionally from the same vendor)
since it is not certified by the Wi‐Fi Alliance. WDS may provide two modes of wireless AP‐to‐AP connectivity:
Wireless bridging, in which WDS APs communicate only with each other and don't allow wireless clients or
stations (STA) to access them.
Wireless repeating, in which APs communicate with each other and with wireless STAs.
DMZ
In computer security, a DMZ (sometimes referred to as a perimeter networking) is a physical or logical
subnetwork that contains and exposes an organization's external‐facing services to a larger untrusted
network, usually the Internet. The purpose of a DMZ is to add an additional layer of security to an
organization's local area network (LAN); an external attacker only has access to equipment in the DMZ,
rather than any other part of the network. Hosts in the DMZ have limited connectivity to specific hosts in
the internal network, although communication with other hosts in the DMZ and to the external network is
allowed. This allows hosts in the DMZ to provide services to both the internal and external network, while
an intervening firewall controls the traffic between the DMZ servers and the internal network clients. Any
services such as Web servers, Mail servers, FTP servers and VoIP servers, etc. that are being provided to
users on the external network can be placed in the DMZ.
