Here are descriptions of every setup items: 
 
Enable WPS (1): Check this box to enable WPS function, uncheck it 
to disable WPS. 
 
W P S Information (2):WPS-related system information will be displayed 
h e r e : 
 
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, y o u ’l l   s e e  ‘unConfigured’. 
 
PinCode S e l f: 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 
W P S-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 s e c u r i t y function 
of the wi re l e s s  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): T h e r e a r e  ‘Registrar’ and ‘Enrollee’ modes for the 
WPS connection. When ‘Registrar’ is enabled,   t h e  
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 ‘W L A N’ LED on the wireless ro u t e r 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 
by c l i e n t      wish to connect, and click ‘S t a r t   P I N’ button. 
PinCode (5): The ‘W L A N’ LED on t h e   w i re l e s s  router will be

2-7-6 S e c u r i t y  Ti p s   f o r Wi re l e s s   N e t w o r k 
 
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 t h e  
complicated key or passphrase once. I t’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 g u a r a n t e e d 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. 
 
Total Download  You can set the limit of total download  
Bandwidth (2):  bandwidth in kbits. To disable download bandwidth 
limitation, input ‘0’ here. 
 
Total Upload   You can set the limit of total upload 
Bandwidth (3):  bandwidth in kbits. To disable upload bandwidth 
limitation, input ‘0’ here.

please check the ‘s e l e c t’ box of the rule you want to 
edit, then click ‘E d i t’ button. Only one rule should 
be selected a time! If you didn’t select a rule before 
clicking ‘Edit’ button, you’ll be prompted to add a 
new rule. 
 
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 em pty, this button 
will be grayed out and can not be clicked. 
 
Delete All (8):  By clicking this button, you can delete all rule s  
currently in the QoS table. If the QoS table is empty, 
this button will be grayed out and can not be 
clicked.  
						

							87 
 
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

Here are descriptions of every setup items: 
 
Rule Name (a):  Please give a name to this QoS rule (up to 15 
alphanumerical characters) 
 
Bandwidth (b):  Set the bandwidth limitation of this QoS rule. You 
have to select the data direction of this rule (Upload 
of Download), and the speed of bandwidth 
limitation in Kbps, then select the type of QoS: 
‘guarantee’ (guaranteed usable bandwidth for this 
rule) or ‘m a x’ (set the maximum bandwidth for the 
application allowed by this rule). 
 
Local IP    Specify the local (source) IP address 
Address (c):   that will be affected by this rule. Please input the 
starting IP address in the left field, and input the

IP addresses, or just input the IP address in the left 
field to define a single IP address. 
 
Local Port    Please input the range of local (source) 
Range (d):  port number that will be affected by this rule. If you 
want to apply this rule on port 80 to 90, please 
input ’80-90’; if you want to apply this rule on a

Traffic Type (g):  Please select the traffic type of this rule, 
 
available options are None, SMTP, HTTP, POP3, 
and FTP. You can select a specific traffic type for 
this rule, if you want to make this rule as a IP 
address based rule (apply the limitation on all 
traffics from / to the s p e c i f i e d IP address / port 
n u m b e r ) ,   s e l e c t  ‘N o n e’. 
 
Protocol (h):   Please select the protocol type of this rule,  
available options are TCP and UDP. If you don’t

3-2 Network Address Translation (NAT) 
 
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP 
address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be 
assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but 
Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every 
user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single 
Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone 
can get connected to Internet.  
 
Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters: 
 
 
3-2-1 Basic NAT Settings (Enable or disable NAT function) 
 
Please click ‘N A T’ menu on the left of web management interface, and 
the following message will be displayed on your web browser: 
 
 
 
T o  enable NAT function, please select ‘Enable’ for ‘Enable NAT module 
function’ (1); to disable, please select ‘Disable’. 
 
After you made the selection, please click ‘Apply’ button (2) and the 
following message will be displayed on your web browser:

Please click ‘Continue’ to back to previous setup menu; to continue on 
other setup procedures, or click ‘Apply’ to reboot the router so the 
settings will take effect (Please wait for about 30 s e c o n ds while router is 
rebooting). 
 
 
3-2-2 Port Forwarding 
 
This function allows you to redirect a single port or consecutive ports of 
Internet IP address to the same port of the IP address on local network. 
The port number(s) of Internet IP address and private IP address (the IP 
address on local network) must be the same. If the port number of 
Internet IP address and private IP address is different, please use ‘Virtual 
Server’ function, described in next section. 
 
Please click ‘N A T’ menu on the left of web management interface, then 
click ‘Port Forwarding’, and the following message will be displayed on 
your web browser:
