Section 3 – Configuration Access Control Access Control, or MAC filtering, is a basic security measure that should be used on any network that is exposed to a security risk. A packet filter system examines data packets and scrutinizes them in order to control network access. Filtering rules determine whether packets are passed through the Router from either side of the gateway. The rules are created and controlled by the network administrator and can be precisely defined.
Section 3 – Configuration Firewall & DMZ The Firewall & DMZ menu is used to define enforce specific predefined policies intended to protect against certain common types of attacks. A DoS "denial-of-service" attack is characterized by an explicit attempt by attackers to prevent legitimate users of a service from using that service.
Section 3 – Configuration Advanced Wireless The Advanced Wireless menu is used to configure settings that can increase the performance of your router. Click Save Settings when you have completed your changes. See the table below for descriptions of the advanced wireless settings parameters.
Section 3 – Configuration Performance Parameter Description Transmit power Allows the user to adjust the transmit power of the router. A high transmit power allows a greater area range of accessibility to the router. When multiple overlapping access points are present, it may be desirable to reduce transmission power. Beacon Interval Beacons are emitted from the router in order to synchronize the wireless network. You may set the Beacon Interval range between 20-100 microseconds per beacon sent.
Section 3 – Configuration Advanced Network The Advanced Network Settings menu is used to disable or enable UPnP, disable Ping responses on the WAN port and change WAN port speed. UPnP UPnP supports zero-configuration networking and automatic discovery for many types of networked devices. When enabled, it allows other devices that support UPnP to dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices.
Section 3 – Configuration Gaming Mode When gaming mode is enabled, the router’s QoS settings are adjusted automatically to accommodate Internet gaming. Gaming mode is enabled by default. Multicast Streams Wireless enhanced mode is used to optimize traffic parameters for wireless clients. Routing Use Static Routing to specify a route used for data traffic within your Ethernet LAN or to route data on the WAN.
Section 3 – Configuration QoS Engine Some broadband service providers allow subscribers to adjust Quality of Service (QoS) settings to optimize the Internet connection for VoIP and other time sensitive network applications. If your ISP allows this, enable QoS bandwidth adjustment by clicking to select the Lag eliminated box and adjust the Uplink and Downlink speed using the pull-down menus. Click the Save Settings button to implement the new QoS changes.
Section 3 – Configuration Guest Zone The Guest Zone feature of the router allows an additional subnet to be added. This is especially useful for placing wireless stations in an IP subnet separate from wired Ethernet stations. The four Ethernet ports can also be configured to use the Guest Zone so one or more Ethernet ports can be on a separate IP subnet. To use a guest zone, click to select the Enable Guest Zone box, if desired select a schedule when the Guest Zone is effective.
Section 3 – Configuration Routing between the guest zone and the original host subnet can be enabled by clicking the Enable Routing Between Zones box. If this option is not selected, the two subnets will behave as separate networks with access to the Internet connection, but not to computers on the other subnet. The DHCP server for the guest zone is configured exactly the same as the DHCP server to the original host zone. DHCP clients on the guest zone are listed below the DHCP server setup menu.
