5.2 Wireless Security
This section allows you to configure wireless security settings to block
unauthorized access to your wireless network and prevent malicious
packet sniffing. You have 4 ways to encrypt your wireless data: WPS, WEP,
WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK.
5.2.1 WPS Settings
Wi-Fi Protected Setup makes it easy for home users who know little of
wireless security to establish a secure wireless home network, as well as
to add new devices to an existing network without entering long
passphrases or configuring complicated settings. Simply enter a PIN code
or press the software PBC button or hardware WPS button (if any) and a
secure wireless connection is established.
33
● WPS Settings: Select to enable/disable the WPS encryption. It is
enabled by default.
● WPS Mode: Select PBC (Push-Button Configuration) or PIN.
● PBC: Click this software button or directly press the hardware WPS
button on both your router and the new wireless client device (that you
want to connect to your router wirelessly) for 1 second to establish an easy
and secure wireless connection.
● PIN: To use this option you must know the PIN code from the wireless
client. Simply click the PIN radio button and enter client’s PIN code while
using the same PIN code on client side for secure connection.
● Reset OOB: When clicked, the WPS LED will display a solid light; the
WPS function will be disabled automatically; WPS server on the Router
enters idle mode and will not respond to client’s WPS connection request.
Note:
1. If you find the WPS LED blinking for 2 minutes after you select
and apply the PBC mode, it means that the PBC encryption method is
successfully enabled. And an authentication will be performed
between your router and the WPS/PBC-enabled wireless client
device during this time; if it succeeds, the wireless client device
connects to your device, and the WPS LED displays a solid light
thereafter. Repeat steps mentioned above if you want to connect
more wireless client devices to your router.
2. The WPS function can be implemented only between your
Router and another WPS-enabled device.
5.2.2 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
hampered with. Only authorized network users can access the wireless
network.
34
● Security Mode: Select a proper mode, which is also supported by your
wireless clients, from the drop-down menu.
● WPA Algorithms: Select either AES (advanced encryption standard) or
TKIP (temporary key integrity protocol) type.
● Key: Enter a security key ，which must be between 8-63 ASCII
characters.
● Key Renewal Interval: Enter a valid time period for the key.
5.2.3 WPA2-PSK
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.
5.2.4 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.
35
● WEP Key: You can select either ASCII or Hexadecimal from the
drop-down menu.
Note: If you select ASCII, enter 5 or 13 valid ASCII characters; or if you
select Hexadecimal, enter 10 or 26 Hexadecimal characters.
● Default Key: Select one key from the 4 preset keys.
5.3 Operation Mode
Operation Mode is used to set the different wireless working mode.
5.3.1 Universal Repeater
This wireless operation mode is used to extend the wireless range of main
router.
Select Operation Mode Universal Repeater and click on survey button.
The list of available wireless network will be available then you can select
one from the list. Select the SSID of the target network and click on apply.
The target network SSID will be automatically filed into wireless setting.
Then enter the password for the target network.
5.3.2 WISP
In this mode, the device enables multiusers to share Internet from WISP.
The LAN port devices share the same IP from WISP through Wireless port.
While connecting to WISP, the Wireless port works as a WAN port at
Wireless Client Router mode. The Ethernet port acts as a LAN port.
36
Repeat same process as for Universal Repeater
5.3.3 WDS Bridge Mode
To extend your existing wireless network coverage, select the WDS
(Wireless Distribution System) feature.
● AP MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a wireless link partner or
populate this field using the Open Scan option.
Application example: Implement the WDS feature using 2
iB-WRX300NP wireless router labeled iB-WRX300NP-1 and
iB-WRX300NP-2.
1. Change the default wireless working mode of AP on iB-WRX300NP
to WDS as shown in the figure below:
37
2. Add iB-WRX300NP-2’s MAC address to iB-WRX300NP-1 and
change iB-WRX300NP-1’s SSID and channel respectively to those of
iB-WRX300NP-2. (Assuming that iB-WRX300NP-2’s SSID is changed to
OFFICE)
a. If you already know iB-WRX300NP-2’s MAC address, SSID and
channel settings, then you can manually configure the same settings on
iB-WRX300NP-1.
b. Or you can use the Open Scan option.
1) Click the “Survey” button to display a list of available wireless networks.
38
2) Select the iB-WRX300NP-2’s SSID from the list and click OK on the
appearing dialogue box; iB-WRX300NP-2’s MAC address, SSID and
channel settings will be automatically added to the iBl-WRX300NP-1
3) Click OK to save your settings.
4) Configure wireless security settings. For this step, refer to section 5.2
hereof.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 on iB-WRX300NP-2. After the 2 routers have added
each other’s MAC address and share the same SSID, channel, security
settings and security key, the WDS feature can be implemented.
Note:
1. WDS feature can be implemented only between 2 wireless
devices that both support the WDS feature. Plus, SSID, channel,
security settings and security key must be the same on both devices.
Using the Open Scan option and selecting link partner from the scan
list automatically change the router’s existing SSID and channel
settings respectively to those of link partner as well as add link
partner’s MAC address. So we recommend you to use this Open
Scan option for easy WDS settings.
2. Using WEP encryption improves WDS compatibility. For this
reason, we recommend you to encrypt your wireless network with
WEP when using the WDS feature.
5.4 MAC Filtering
The MAC filtering feature can be used to allow or disallow clients to
connect to your wireless network.
39
● MAC Address Filter: “Permit” means to permit PCs at specified MAC
addresses to connect to your wireless network while “Forbid” means to
block PCs at specified MAC addresses from connecting to your wireless
network.
● MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses of a wireless client and click
“Add”.
● MAC Address List: Displays the MAC addresses added by you. You
can delete any entry by clicking on the “Delete” button nearby.
Example 1:
To allow only a PC at the MAC address of 00:1e:a6:a4:56:75 to
connect to your wireless network, do as follows:
Step1. Select “Permit” from MAC Address Filter drop-down menu.
Step2. Enter 00:1e:a6:a4:56:75 in the MAC address box.
Step3. Click the “OK” button to save your settings and you can add more
MAC addresses, if you like, simply repeating the follow steps.
40
Example 2:
To prohibit only a PC at the MAC address of 00:1e:a6:67:d4:23 from
connecting to your wireless network, follow steps above and make a few
necessary changes as shown follow.
5.5 Connection Status
This interface displays the information of currently connected wireless
clients including MAC addresses and bandwidth.
● MAC Address: Displays the MAC addresses of the PCs that have been
wirelessly connected to your router.
● Bandwidth: Displays the channel bandwidth used by the currently
connected hosts (connected wireless clients).
Note: "Bandwidth" refers to the wireless channel bandwidth
instead of wireless connection rate.
41
Chapter 6 DHCP
6.1 DHCP Settings
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic
configuration protocol used on IP networks. If you enable the built-in
DHCP server on the device, it will automatically configure the parameters
of TCP/IP protocol for all your LAN computers (including IP address,
subnet mask, gateway and DNS etc), eliminating the need for manual
intervention. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by setting
their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically”. When you
turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP
settings provided by the device.
● DHCP Server: Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable the
device’s DHCP server feature.
● IP pool start address: Enter the starting IP address for the DHCP
server’s IP assignment.
● IP pool end address: Enter the ending IP address for the DHCP
server’s IP assignment.
● Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease. Configuring a
proper lease time improves the efficiency for the DHCP server to reclaim
disused IP addresses.
6.2 DHCP Clients & Address Reservation
This section not only displays a DHCP dynamic client list but also
includes a configurable Static DHCP assignment feature.
The DHCP client list displays IP addresses assigned by the built-in
DHCP server, MAC addresses, host names and lease time.
42
If you would like some devices on your network to always have fixed IP
addresses, you can manually add a static DHCP assignment entry for
each such device. You can manually add an IP address and a MAC
address, and then whenever a host with this MAC address connects to the
router, it will always get the same IP address (the one you just added).
According to the connected computer's MAC address, the router checks
relevant entries in its DHCP reservation list and decides what IP address
to assign to this host (an unused IP from DHCP IP address pool, or a
reserved one): If it fails in finding a reserved IP address for this MAC
address in the list, it will immediately assign an unused IP from its DHCP
IP address pool; and if such IP is found, it will be assigned to this host so
as to ensure that host with a static DHCP assignment always get this
reserved IP address.
● IP Address: Enter the IP address for static DHCP assignment.
● MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a computer to always receive
the same IP address (the IP you just entered above).
● Host name: Displays the name of a computer (DHCP client).
● Lease Time: Remaining time for the corresponding IP address lease.
43
Chapter 7 Virtual Server
7.1 Port Forwarding
● Start/End Port: Enter the service port range provided by the mapped
host in internal network.
● LAN IP: The IP address of the computer which is used as a server in
LAN.
● Protocol: Includes TCP, UDP and Both. Select “Both” when you are not
sure about which protocol to use.
● Enable: Check the “Enable” option to activate the corresponding rule.
● Delete: Check the “Delete” option to delete the corresponding rule.
For 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. Then,
you can set up your own PC as a FTP server and use the port range
forwarding feature to let your friends access these files. Provided that the
static IP address of the FTP server (Namely, your PC) is 192.168.1.10 and
you want your friends to access this FTP server through default port 21
and TCP protocol, then you can follow the steps below for configurations.
44
1. Enter 21 for both the start and end port in ID 1, or select "FTP" from
“Well-Known Service Port” and port 21 will be added automatically to ID 1.
2. Enter 192.168.1.10 for the "IP Address", select "TCP" and then
select "Enable'.
3. The screenshot below displays the above settings.
4. Click "OK".
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 is the device's WAN
IP address. For example, if it is 172.16.102.89, then your friends only need
to enter "ftp://172.16.102.89: 21" in their browsers.
Note: If you include port 80 on this section, you must set the port
on remote (web-based) management section to a different number
than 80, such as 8080, otherwise the virtual server feature may not
take effect.
45
7.2 DMZ
In some cases, we need to set a computer to be completely exposed
to extranet for implementation of a 2-way communication. To do so, we set
it as a DMZ host.
● DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP address of a LAN computer which
you want to set to a DMZ host.
● Enable: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the DMZ host.
For example: You can set a LAN computer at the IP address of
192.168.2.10 as a DMZ Host to intercommunicate with another host on the
Internet.
Note: If you set a PC to a DMZ host, it will be completely exposed
to extranet and gains no more protection from the device firewall.
46
7.3 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 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 XP, Windows ME or later (NOTE:
Operational system needs to be integrated with or installed with
Directx 9.0) or in an environment with installed application software
that supports UPnP.
47
Chapter 8 Security Settings

from accessing Internet within the time range of 8:00-18:00 from Monday
to Friday, do as follows:
Example2: To allow only the PC at a MAC address of 00:1E:A6:44:35:69
to access Internet from Monday to Friday, do as follows:
51
8.3 URL Filtering
To better control the LAN computers’ access to websites, you can use
URL filtering to allow or disallow their access to certain websites within a
specified time range.
● Filter Mode: Select Disable or Forbid only according to your own needs.
● Access Policy: Select a number (indicating a filter rule) from the
drop-down menu.
● Remark: Enter a meaningful name to you for a new filter rule.
● Start/End IP Address: Enter the starting/ending IP address.
● URL character string: Enter domain names or a part of a domain name
that needs to be filtered.
● Time: Select a time range for the new URL filter rule to take effect.
● Day: Select a day or several days for the new MAC address filter rule to
take effect.
● Enable: Check to enable or uncheck to disable a corresponding filter rule
(allow/disallow matched packets to pass through router).
For example:
If you want to disallow all computers on your LAN to access
“yahoo.com” at the time range of 8：00-18：00 from Monday to Friday,
then do as follow.
52
Note: Each URL character string entry can corresponded to only
a domain name. So you need to set multiple rules if you want to filter
out multiple domain names.
8.4 Remote Management
The Remote Web-based Management feature allows users to
configure your router from Internet via a web browser.
● Enable: Check or uncheck to enable or disable the remote web-based
management feature.
● Port: Enter a port number for remote web-based management.
● IP Address: Enter the IP address of a PC on Internet authorized to
access and manage your router’s web-based utility remotely.
53
Note: If you enter 0.0.0.0 in the IP address box, then all PCs on
Internet can access your router’s Web-based utility to view or change
your settings remotely once you enable the remote Web-based
management feature.
For example: If you want to allow only a PC at the IP address of
218.88.93.33 to access your router’s web-based utility from Internet via
port: 8080, you need to configure same settings shown in the diagram
above on your router. And what this IP user needs to do is to simply launch
a browser and enter http://220.135.211.56:8080 (provided that your
router’s WAN IP address is 220.135.211.56).
54
Chapter 9 Routing Settings
9.1 Routing Table
This page displays the router’s core routing table which lists
destination IP address, subnet mask, gateway, hop count and interface.
The principal task for a router is to look for an optimal transfer path for
each data packet passing through it, and transfer it to the specified
destination. So, it’s essential for the router to select an optimal path, i.e.
routing algorithm. To complete this work, the router stores related data of
various transfer paths, i.e. establishing a routing table, for future route
selection.
9.2 Static Routing
You can use this section to set up router’s static routing feature.
55
● Destination Network IP Address: Enter a destination IP address or
subnet.
● Subnet Mask: Enter a Subnet Mask that corresponds to destination IP
address or subnet you entered.
● Gateway: Next-hop IP address.
Note:
1. Gateway IP address must be on the same subnet with the
router’s LAN/WAN IP address.
2. If you want destination network to be a single host, then you
must enter an IP address thereof and 255.255.255.255 respectively in
Destination Network IP Address and Subnet Mask boxes.
3. If you want destination network to be a network, then you must
enter an IP address and a corresponding subnet mask value
respectively in Destination Network IP Address and Subnet Mask
boxes. For example, if you enter 10.0.0.0 in the IP address box, then
corresponding subnet mask should be 255.0.0.0.
56
Chapter 10 Maintenance
10.1 Time Settings
This section assists you in setting the device’s system time; you can
either select to set the time and date manually or automatically obtain the
GMT time from Internet.
Note: The configured time settings lose once the router is powered off.
But it obtains the GMT time automatically when you connect it to the
Internet. Features/functions based on time (e.g. security settings) take
effect only after time settings are configured manually or updated
automatically from Internet.
10.2 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; an address which changes
unpredictably makes connection impossible. The DDNS provider allocates
a static hostname to the user; whenever the user is allocated a new IP
address this 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 hostname and the address to the Internet's
DNS servers so that they may resolve DNS queries. Thus, uninterrupted
access to devices and services whose numeric IP address may change is
maintained.
57
● DDNS Service: Click Enable or Disable radio button to enable/disable
the DDNS feature.
● Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the
drop-down menu (Dyndns or no-ip).
● Username: Enter the DDNS username provided by your DDNS service
provider.
● Password: Enter the DDNS password provided by your DDNS service
provider.
● Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name distributed by your DDNS
service provider.
Username Admin
Password 12345678
Domain Name domain.no-ip.com
For example: If you have registered a DDNS service in no-ip.com and are
allocated with domain, 12345678, domain.no-ip.com respectively as
username, password and domain name for a web server on your PC at
192.168.1.10, then configure port settings on port range forwarding
interface under virtual server menu and enter this information on the
above DDNS interface. Others can access your web server by simply
entering http://domain. no-ip.com in their browser address bar.

Appendix B: 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 are several APs coexisting in the same area, it is
recommended that you configure a different channel for each AP to
minimize the interference between neighboring APs. For example, if 3
American- standard APs (i.e. adopts 11 channels) coexist in one area, you
can setup 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.
