Application Level Gateway Configuration
Here you can enable or disable ALG’s. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP payload to make them work with network 
address translation (NAT ). Each ALG provides special handling for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs for common applications 
are enabled by default.
Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol. 
Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through 
NAT.  This  ALG  may  interfere  with  the  operation  of  such  VPN  clients.  If  you  are  having  trouble  connecting  with  your  corporate 
network, try turning this ALG off. Please check with the system administrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client 
supports NAT traversal.
Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player 
are some of the common applications using this protocol. 
Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have 
the ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are 
having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off.

Enter the IP address of packets that will take this 
route.
Enter  the  netmask  of  the  route,  please  note 
that  the  octets  must  match  your  destination  IP 
address.
Enter your next hop gateway to be taken if this 
route is used.
The  route  metric  is  a  value  from  1  to  16  that 
indicates the cost of using this route. A value 1 is 
the lowest cost and 15 is the highest cost. 
Select the interface that the IP packet must use to

Set the transmit power of the antennas.
Beacons  are  packets  sent  by  an  Access  Point  to 
synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 
is the default setting and is recommended. 
This  value  should  remain  at  its  default  setting  of 
2432.  If  inconsistent  data  flow  is  a  problem,  only  a 
minor modification should be made.
The  fragmentation  threshold,  which  is  specified 
in  bytes,  deter mines  whether  packets  will  be 
fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting 
will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the 
default setting. 
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default 
setting.  A  DTIM  is  a  countdown  informing  clients 
of  the  next  window  for  listening  to  broadcast  and 
multicast messages.
WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless clients.
Check  this  box  to  reduce  the  guard  interval  time  therefore  increasing  the  data  capacity.  However,  it’s  less  reliable  and  may  create 
higher data loss.

WISH is short for Wireless Intelligent Stream Handling, a technology developed to enhance your experience of using a wireless network by prioritizing 
the traffic of different applications. 
Enable this option if you want to allow WISH to 
prioritize your traffic. 
Enable WISH:
Allows  the  router  to  recognize  HTTP  transfers 
for many common audio and video streams and 
prioritize them above other traffic. Such streams 
are frequently used by digital media players. 
HTTP:
Enables the router to recognize certain audio and 
video  streams  generated  by  a  Windows  Media 
Center  PC  and  to  prioritize  these  above  other 
traffic. Such streams are used by systems known 
as Windows Media Extenders, such as the Xbox 
360. 
Windows Media 
Center:
When enabled, this option causes the router to 
automatically attempt to prioritize traffic streams 
that  it  doesn’t  otherwise  recognize,  based  on 
the  behavior  that  the  streams  exhibit. This  acts 
to deprioritize streams that exhibit bulk transfer 
characteristics, such as file transfers, while leaving 
interactive traffic, such as gaming or VoIP, running 
at a normal priority.
Automatic:
WISH Rules:A WISH Rule identifies a specific message flow and assigns a priority to that flow. For most applications, the priority classifiers ensure 
the right priorities and specific WISH Rules are not required. 
WISH supports overlaps between rules. If more than one rule matches for a specific message flow, the rule with the highest priority 
will be used.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature. 
Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from 
being changed by the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature of the router. 
Devices can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi Protected 
Setup. However, the settings of the network will not change once 
this option is checked.
A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to 
an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN 
may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security, 
a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at 
any time. Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change 
or reset the PIN. 
Shows the current value of the router’s PIN. 
Restore the default PIN of the router. 
Create  a  random  number  that  is  a  valid  PIN. This  becomes  the 
router’s PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of 
the registrar.
This  Wizard  helps  you  add  wireless  devices  to  the  wireless 
network.
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you 
to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by 
pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device 
has been successfully added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows devices onto the 
wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network, 
although other devices may act as a registrar as well.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the “Add New 
Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as depressing 
a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use 
are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
