Authentication Method: This field enables the authentication methods for wireless clients. WPA Encryption: Enable WPA Encryption to encrypt data.
Client PIN Code: Key in an eight-digit number for the PIN code. Wireless MAC Filter Wireless MAC filter allows you to control packets from devices with specified MAC address in your Wireless LAN. MAC Filter Mode: In Accept mode, WIRELESS ROUTER only accepts clients with MAC address in the list. In Reject mode, WIRELESS ROUTER will reject clients with MAC address in the list. MAC Address: Enter the complete MAC address which contains 12 hexadecimal letters.
enabled. Data Rate (Mbps): This field allows you to select the transmission rate. [Auto] is recommended to maximize performance. Fragmentation Threshold: Fragmentation Threshold sets the frame size of incoming messages (ranging from 256 to 2346 bytes) used as fragmentation boundary. If the frame size is too big, the heavy interference affects transmission reliability. If the frame size is too small, it decreases transmission efficiency.
DHCP Server WIRELESS ROUTER supports up to 253 IP address for your local network. The IP address of a local machine can be is assigned manually by the network administrator or obtained automatically from WIRELESS ROUTER if the DHCP server is enabled. Enable the DHCP Server?: DHCP server administers and assigns IP addresses for LAN clients automatically. WIRELESS ROUTER's Domain Name: The Domain Name for client who requests IP address from the DHCP server.
IP Address: Assign an IP address for each DHCP client. The IP address should comply with the DHCP address pool you specified. The DHCP address pool contains the range of the IP address that will automatically be assigned to the clients on the network. Route This function allows you to add routing rules into WIRELESS ROUTER. It is useful if you connect several routers behind WIRELESS ROUTER to share the same connection to the Internet.

The system reboots after the upgrading process is finished. Note: 1.
Boot time: Elapsed time since system boot Routing Table A routing table contains the information necessary to forward a packet along the best path toward its destination. Each packet contains information about its origin and destination. When a packet is received, a network device examines the packet and matches it to the routing table entry providing the best match for its destination.
Metric: A number used to indicate the cost of the route so that the best route, among potentially multiple routes to the same destination, can be selected. Ref: Number of reference to this route. Use: Count of lookups for the route. Iface: Interface to which packets for this route will be sent.
