Notice
FCC Warning
Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user authority to operate the
equipment.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including
interference that may cause undesired operation.
The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional or unintentional
radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not expressly
approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s
authority to operate the equipment.
FCC Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class
B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a
residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or
television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and
on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of
the following measures:
z Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
z Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
z Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to
which the receiver is connected.
z Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated
with minimum distance 20cm between the radiator & your body. For product
available in the USA/Canada market, only channel 1~11 can be operated.
4
Selection of other channels is not possible. The antenna(s) used for this
transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other
antenna or transmitter. Shielded interface cables must be used in order to
comply with emission limits.
Channel
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
z Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used.
This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference
and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11channel are available.
If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use
different Channels to reduce interference.
z In “Infrastructure” mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels,
looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used,
the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an
ESS.)
z If using “Ad-hoc” mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be
set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still
scan all Channels to see if there is an existing “Ad-hoc” group they can
join.
Note:
This equipment marketed in USA is restricted by firmware to only operate on
2.4GHz channel 1-11, also with UNII band, only band 1 (5.15-5.25G) & band 4

Ch 2. First Time Configuration
Before Start to Configure
The configuration of this device is through web-browser. To access the
configuration interfaces, make sure you are using a computer connected to
the same network as the device. The default IP address of the device is
8
192.168.1.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0. We Recommend to
login with username: root and password: root for the first time configuration.
Please note that the DHCP server inside the device is default to up and
running. Do not have multiple DHCP servers in your network environment,
otherwise it will cause abnormal situation.
Knowing the Network Application
The device can act as the following roles, and it supports WDS (Wireless
Distribution System) function.
z Access Point
z WDS mode
z Bridge/Router
z WISP
z AP Client
The device provides 3 different operation modes and the wireless radio of
device can act as AP/Client/WDS. The operation mode is about the
communication mechanism between the wired Ethernet NIC and wireless
NIC. Following are the types of operation mode.
Router
The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem
and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN. The other wired
Ethernet (LAN) port bridges to the private WLAN. The NAT is existed
between WAN and WLAN/LAN and all the wireless and wired clients share
the same public IP address through the WAN port to ISP. The default IP
configuration for WAN port is static IP. You can access the web server of
device through the default WAN IP address 172.1.1.1 and modify the setting
base on your ISP requirement.
Bridge
The WAN port will bridge to the other 4 LAN ports. Once the mode is
selected, all the WAN related functions will be disabled.
WISP (Wireless ISP)
9
This mode can let you access the AP of your wireless ISP and share the
same public IP address from your ISP to the PCs connecting with both the
wired Ethernet ports of the device. When setup as this mode, the wireless
radio will be client mode connecting to the AP of your ISP as the WAN
connection and then you can configure the WAN IP configuration to meet
your WISP requirement.
The wireless radio of the device acts as the following roles.
AP (Access Point)
The wireless radio of device serves as communications “hub” for wireless
clients and provides a connection to a wired LAN.
AP Client
This mode enables the establishment of connection with the other AP using
infrastructure/Ad-hoc networking types. With bridge operation mode, you
can directly connect one of the wired Ethernet port to your PC and the
device becomes a wireless adapter. And with WISP operation mode, you
can connect one of the wired Ethernet port to a hub/switch and all the PCs
connecting with hub/switch can share the same public IP address from your
ISP.
WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
This mode combines up to 8 AP to a single wireless network; the device
forwards the packets to another AP with WDS function. When this mode is
selected, all the wireless clients can’t survey and connect to the device. The
device only allows the WDS connection.
WDS+AP
This mode combines WDS plus AP modes, and it not only allows WDS
connections but also the wireless clients can survey and connect to the
device.
The following table shows the supporting combination of operation and
wireless radio modes.

16
and the value go back to 300 seconds. When it countdown to
zero, this Client/Station will be kicked out from this table.
RSSI: It shows the signal strength of this Client/Station in dBm unit.
Advanced Settings
These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have
sufficient knowledge about wireless LAN. These settings should not be
changed unless you know what effect the changes will have on your
device. The default setting is optimized for the normal operation. For
specific application, setting configuration will required highly attention to
reach optimistic condition.
Note:
Any unreasonable value change to default setting will reduce the
throughput of the device.
Beacon Interval
Beacons are the packets sending by Access point to synchronize the
wireless network. The beacon interval is the time interval between
beacons sending by this unit in AP or AP+WDS mode. The default and
recommended beacon interval is 100 milliseconds.
17
DTIM Period
The default value of Delivery Traffic Indication Message is 1 beacon.
The DTIM which is in the beacon is to inform clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
RTS Threshold
The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the radio issues
a request to send (RTS) before sending the packet. A low RTS
Threshold setting can be useful in areas where many client devices are
associating with the device, or in areas where the clients are far apart
and can detect only the device and not each other. You can enter a
setting ranging from 0 to 2347 bytes.
Fragment Threshold
The fragmentation threshold determines the size at which packets are
fragmented (sent as several pieces instead of as one block). Use a low
setting in areas where communication is poor or where there is a great
deal of radio interference. This function will help you to improve the
network performance.
Tx Power (RF transmit power)
The default Tx power is 100%. In case of shortening the distance and
the coverage of the wireless network, click the drop-down box to select
the smaller percentage. The level between each value is 10%.
b/g Protection
Default: Auto. You can select the other options including Always On,
Always Off. The B/G protection technology is CTS-To-Self. It will try to
reserve the throughput for 11g clients from 11b clients connecting to the
device as AP mode.
Block WLAN Relay (Client Isolation)
The device supports isolation function. If you are building a public
Wireless Network, enable this function can provide better security. The
device will block packets between wireless clients (relay). All the
wireless clients connected to the device can’t see each other.
No Forwarding Between BSSIDs
The device supports multi-SSID. You can decide whether the clients
associated to different SSID on the device can see each other. Enable
the option to block it. The Default value is enabled.
Overlapping Legacy BSS Condition Protection
Default: enabled
Enable it to maintain the legacy support while the device is in 11n mode.
18
Short Slot
Default: enabled. Reduce the waits after the collision time before
retransmitting. It will increase the throughput.
Tx Burst
Default: enabled. Enable it and the device will try this function when the
other associated AP/Client is available.
Tx Short Preamble
Default: enabled. Only requires disabling it when connecting some old
802.11 b wireless clients.
Packet Aggregation
Default: enabled. This is one of 802.11n technique to increase the data
throughput.
802.11h Support
Default: enabled. This function provides Dynamic Frequency Selection
(DFS) and the transmit power control (TPC) to 802.11a MAC.
HT Operation Mode
Default: Mixed (Mixed, Green Field).
Mixed mode: In this mode the device transmits the packets with
preamble compatible legacy (802.11 a/g), so they can be decoded by
legacy devices. The device receives and decodes both Mixed Mode
packets and legacy packets.
Green Field mode: the device transmits HT packets without legacy
compatible part. But the device receives and decodes both Green Field
and legacy packets.
HT Guard Interval
Default: 400ns. The 11n device inserts the Guard Interval into the signal.
You can choose the interval between 400ns and 800ns. The available
data rate modes are changed according to the Guard Interval.

Ch 4. 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 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 to block some application from LAN to WAN, you can go to the
“Firewall” page, then “NAT” and select “Drop” for IP Forwarding Default
Policy. Then go to the Port filtering, IP Filtering, MAC Filtering page option to
edit the permit list.
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.
33
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.
When you select “Drop” option for 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.
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.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
