Connecting Profile
To enable this function, this device must be in the client mode. User clicks to enable
this function and input the SSID of preferred AP and then click “Apply Changes”. The
BSSID field is an option in case of two preferred APs having the same SSID. In this
case, this device will check both SSID and BSSID and connect to the matching AP. We
can leave it empty in the normal case.
After enabling the connecting profile, the system will check the preferred SSID in a
fixed period. If preferred APs are found, the radio will try to connect with them one by
one from top to down of the list and regardless of the signal quality and strength. The
users can put their most favorite AP on the top so it will be connected first. Please note
that check the preferred APs will impact the throughput a lot! Unless the signal strength
is good enough, otherwise don't set the interval too short. The default value is 10
minutes. And currently, all the profiles share the same security setting.
To delete one SSID in the list, users click the square to select it and click “Delete
Selected” and then click “OK” in the pop-up window to confirm it. The user can delete
the whole list once for all! Just click “Delete All” and then click “OK” in the pop-up
window to confirm it.

Ch 5. Configuring WDS
Wireless Distribution System (WDS) uses wireless media to communicate with the other
devices, like the Ethernet does. This function allows one or more remote LANs connect
with the local LAN. To do this, you must set these devices in the same channel and set
MAC address of other devices you want to communicate with in the WDS AP List and
then enable the WDS.
When you decide to use the WDS to extend your WLAN, please refer the following
instructions for configuration.
The bridging devices by WDS must use the same radio channel.
When the WDS function is enabled, all wireless stations can’t connect the device.
If your network topology has a loop, you need to enable the 802.1d Spanning Tree
function.
You don’t need to add all MAC address of devices existed in your network to WDS
AP List. WDS AP List only needs to specify the MAC address of devices you need to
directly connect to.
The bandwidth of device is limited, to add more bridging devices will split the more
bandwidth to every bridging device.

Ch 6. Advanced Configurations
Configuring LAN to WAN Firewall
Filtering function is used to block or permit packets from LAN to WAN. The device
supports three kinds of filter Port Filtering, IP Filtering and MAC Filtering. All the entries in
53
current filter table are used to restrict or allow certain types of packets from your local
network to through the device. Use of such filters can be helpful in securing or restricting
your local network. Denied or Allowed list depends on your IP forwarding default policy in
Route page. The IP forwarding default policy is “ACCEPT”.
If you want block some application from LAN to WAN, you can go to Route page to select
“ACCEPT” for IP Forwarding Default Policy.
If you want permit some application from LAN to WAN, you can go to Route page to
select “DROP” for IP Forwarding Default Policy.
Port Filtering
When you enable the Port Filtering function, you can specify a single port or port
ranges in current filter table. If you select ACCEPT for the IP forwarding default policy,
once the source port of outgoing packets match the port definition or within the port
ranges in the table, the firewall will block those packets form LAN to WAN.
If you select DROP for the IP forwarding default policy, once the source port of
outgoing packets match the port definition or within the port ranges in the table, the
firewall will allow those packets form LAN to WAN.

IP Filtering
When you enable the IP Filtering function, you can specify local IP Addresses in
current filter table. If you select ACCEPT for the IP forwarding default policy, once the
source IP address of outgoing packets match the IP address definition in the table, the
firewall will block those packets form LAN to WAN.
If you select DROP for the IP forwarding default policy, once the source IP address of
outgoing packets match the IP address definition in the table, the firewall will allow
those packets form LAN to WAN.
55
MAC Filtering
When you enable the MAC Filtering function, you can specify the MAC Addresses in
current filter table. If you select ACCEPT for the IP forwarding default policy, once the
source MAC Address of outgoing packets match the MAC Address definition in the
table, the firewall will block those packets form LAN to WAN.
If you select DROP for the IP forwarding default policy, once the source MAC Address
of outgoing packets match the MAC Address definition in the table, the firewall will
allow those packets form LAN to WAN.
56
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT is the translation between public IP address and private IP address. While NAT is
enabling, you can use port forwarding or DMZ to redirect your common network services.
If you want to disable NAT, you can go to Management-Route page to disable it and the
functions of DMZ, Port Forwarding will be disabled.
Configuring Port Forwarding (Virtual Server)
This function allows you to automatically redirect common network services to a specific
machine behind the NAT firewall. These settings are only necessary if you wish to host
some sort of server like a web server or mail server on the private local network behind
the device's NAT firewall.
