2-7-5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) 
 
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build connection between 
wireless network clients and this wireless router. You don’t have to select encryption 
mode and input a long encryption passphrase every time when you need to setup a 
wireless client, you only have to press a button on wireless client and this wireless 
router, and the WPS will do the rest for you. 
 
This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), 
and PIN code. If you want to use PBC, you have to push a specific button on the 
wireless client to start WPS mode, and switch this wireless router to WPS mode too. 
You can push Reset/WPS button of this wireless router, or click ‘Start PBC’ button in 
the web configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you have to 
know the PIN code of wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the 
PIN code of the wireless client you wish to connect to this wireless router. The 
detailed instructions are listed follow: 
 
Please click ‘Wireless’ menu on the left of web management interface, then click 
‘WPS’, and the following message will be displayed on your web browser:

Here are descriptions of every setup items: 
 
Enable WPS (1):  Check this box to enable WPS function, uncheck it to 
disable WPS. 
 
WPS Information (2):  WPS-related system information will be displayed here: 
 
WPS Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function 
of this wireless router is properly set, you’ll see ‘Configured’ 
message here. If wireless security function has not been set, 
you’ll see ‘unConfigured’. 
 
PinCode Self: This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless 
router. This code is useful when you need to    build 
wireless connection by WPS with other WPS-enabled 
wireless devices. 
 
SSID: The SSID of this wireless router will be displayed 
here. 
 
Authentication Mode: The wireless security authentication 
mode of this wireless router will be displayed here. If you 
don’t enable security function of the wireless router before 
WPS is activated, the router will auto set the security to 
WPA (AES) and generate a set of passphrase key for WPS 
connection. 
 
Passphrase Key: The wireless security key of the router will 
be displayed here. 
 
Config Mode (3):  There are ‘Registrar’ and ‘Enrollee’ modes for the WPS 
connection. When ‘Registrar’ is enabled, the wireless clients 
will follow the router’s wireless settings for WPS connection. 
When ‘Enrolle’ mode is enabled, the router will follow the 
wireless settings of wireless client for WPS connection. 
 
Configure      Click ‘Start PBC’ to start Push-Button style WPS 
by Push Button (4):  setup procedure. This wireless router will wait for WPS

requests from wireless clients for 2 minutes. The ‘WLAN’ 
LED on the wireless router will be steady on for 2 minutes 
when this wireless router is waiting for incoming WPS 
request. 
 
Configure      Please input the PIN code of the wireless client you wish 
by client              to connect, and click ‘Start PIN’ button. 
PinCode (5):  The ‘WLAN’ LED on the wireless router will be steady on

2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network 
 
Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your wireless 
network: 
 
1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP encryption or 
WPA passphrase. 
 
2. A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol, and long 
enough) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than simple and short ones. 
Remember that the wireless client is capable to keep the key or passphrase for 
you, so you only have to input the complicated key or passphrase once. It’s not 
too trouble but will greatly improve security level. 
 
3. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’ option to ‘Disable’. 
Your wireless router will not be found by other people in proximity if they’re just 
using the AP scanning function of their wireless client, and this can reduce the 
chance of being intruded. 
 
4. Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those people who are 
not in your list will not be able to connect to your network.

Chapter III: Advanced Functions 
 
3-1 Quality of Service (QoS) 
 
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share 
the internet bandwidth with a promised quality of internet service. Without QoS, all 
computers and devices on the network will compete with each other to get internet 
bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video 
streaming and network telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result 
will occur, like the interruption of video / audio transfer.   
 
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed 
bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing result from happening. 
 
3-1-1 Basic QoS Settings 
 
Please follow the following instructions to set QoS parameters: 
 
Please click ‘Qos’ menu on the left of web management interface and the following 
message will be displayed on your web browser: 
 
 
 
 
 
Here are descriptions of every setting: 
 
Enable QoS (1):    Check this box to enable QoS function, unselect this box if 
you don’t want to enforce QoS bandwidth limitations.

here. 
 
Total Upload        You can set the limit of total upload bandwidth in kbits. 
Bandwidth (3):      To disable upload bandwidth limitation, input ‘0’ here. 
 
Current QoS      All existing QoS rules will be displayed here. 
Table (4):   
 
Add (5):  Click ‘add’ button to add a new QoS rule, see section 3-1-2

Delete (7):      You can delete selected rules by clicking this button. 
    You can select one or more rules to delete by check the 
‘select’ the box of the rule(s) you want to delete a time. If 
the QoS table is empty, this button will be grayed out 
and can not be clicked. 
 
Delete All (8):    By clicking this button, you can delete all rules currently in 
the QoS table. If the QoS table is empty, this button 
will be grayed out and can not be clicked. 
 
Move Up (9):    You can pull up the priority of the QoS rule you selected by 
clicking this button. 
 
Move Down (10):    You can lower the priority of the QoS rule you selected by 
clicking this button. 
 
After you finish with all settings, please click ‘Apply’ (11) button and the following 
message will be displayed on your web browser:
