Safeguarding Your Network 2-12
v1.0, March 2010
• Enable WMM. Clear this check box to disable WMM. WMM (Wireless Multimedia), a
subset of the 802.11e standard, allows wireless traffic to have a range of priorities,
depending on the kind of data. Time-dependent information, like video or audio, will have
a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, Wireless clients
must also support WMM.
• Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode. The
Fragmentation Threshold, CTS/RTS Threshold, and Preamble Mode options are reserved
for wireless testing and advanced configuration only. Do not change these settings.
• WPS Settings. For information about these settings, see the section, “Configuring WPS
Security (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)” on page 2-12.
• Wireless Card Access List. For information about this list, see “Restricting Wireless
Access by MAC Address” on page 2-17.

Configuring WPS Security (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure
the router’s network name (SSID) and security settings and, at the same time, connect a wireless
client securely and easily to the router. Look for the symbol on your client device. WPS
automatically configures the network name (SSID) and wireless security settings for the router (if
the router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client.
When you add wireless clients, whether or not they are WPS enabled, the added devices must
share the same network name (SSID) and security passphrase. For more information, see
“Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices after WPS Setup” on page 2-16.
To connect to a wireless client that supports WPS, do the following:
1. Log in to the router as described in “Logging In To Your Wireless Router” on page 1-1.
2. Select Add WPS Client in the main menu, and click Next.
Note: If you choose to use WPS, the only security methods supported are WPA-PSK and
WPA2-PSK. WEP security is not supported by WPS.
