SSID: The SSID, which is also called ESSID is a unique identifier that wireless networking devices use in order to establish and maintain wireless connectivity. Multiple access point/bridges on a network or sub-network can use the same SSID. SSIDs are case sensitive and can contain up to 32 alphanumeric characters.

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.

Step 2. Check the state of connection in “Status” web page. The alternative way to configure as following: Step 1. In “Wireless Site Survey” page, select one of the SSIDs you want to connect and then press “Connect” button to establish the link.
Step 2. If the linking is established successfully. It will show the message “Connect successfully”. Then press “OK”. Step 3. Then you can check the linking information in “Status” page. Note : If the available network requires authentication and data encryption, you need to setup the authentication and encryption before step1 and all the settings must be as same as the Access Point or Station.
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.

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.
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.
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.
