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 192.168.2.254, and the subnet-mask is 255.255.255.0.
Knowing the Network Application The device is a WLAN Access Point and also a Network Address Translator (residential gateway/router). The WLAN stations (Client) can connect to this device and then go through the Internet. Router mode: The wired Ethernet (WAN) port is used to connect with ADSL/Cable modem and the wireless NIC is used for your private WLAN.
The IP address of Default Gateway provided by your ISP or MIS. Default Default Gateway is the intermediate network device that has Gateway: knowledge of the network IDs of the other networks in the Wide Area Network, so it can forward the packets to other gateways until they are delivered to the one connected to the specified destination.

radio interference. This function will help you to improve the network performance. The RTS threshold determines the packet size at which the RTS Threshold 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.

Wireless Security/Encryption Settings Description Item Disable, OPEN, SHARED, WEPAUTO, WPA, WPA-PSK, Security Mode WPA2, WPA2-PSK, WPA/WPA2 PSK, WPA/WPA2, 802.1X. The available options are showed according to the numbers of the BSSID in the Basic Setting. Each SSID can setup different encryption type. For example, set up 4 BSSID and 4 sets of security shows on this page: Security Mode: Choose one as the wireless authentication among the following types: Open, Shared, WEP Auto, WPA, WPA-PSK, WPA2, WPA2-PSK,...

128-bit WEP Encryption:128-bit WEP keys are as same as the encryption method of 104-bit WEP. When input 26 hexadecimal digits (0-9, a-f or A-F) or 10 ACSII chars, it is using 128-bit WEP encryption. WPA Authentication Mode This device supports six WPA modes including WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key), WPA, WPA2-PSK, WPA2 and additional WPA/WPA2 PSK and WPA/WPA2 mixed mode.
Ethernet RADIUS Server Wireless Station Access Policy For each SSID, the Access Policy can be selected and setup. The policy includes “Reject” and “Allow”. The Reject policy rejects the station according to the MAC table in the policy configuration, and let the other stations to connect. The allow policy performs reversely.

PBC: Select PBC, and then you can begin the PBC process. Press the PBC button in the front panel can also trigger this process. Press or click the PBC button on the WLAN client to finish the communication. You can press the PBC button on the WLAN client first and then click the PBC button on this device to establish the encryption.
In the Station list, the information of associated clients is displayed. Firewall MAC/IP/Port Filtering Settings You can setup the filter to block the malicious traffic from Internet or local area network. Basic Settings Description Item Enable or Disable the filtering.
