Set it to zero or enable Auto-reconnect to disable this feature. If Auto-reconnect is enabled, this product will connect to ISP automatically, after system is restarted or connection is dropped.
DNS Set the primary and Secondary DNS server(s) as assigned by your ISP. If you are using different DNS servers than your ISP, the Internet response-times might be slower and some sites might become inaccesible.
LAN & DHCP Server The settings of a TCP/IP environment include host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS configurations. It is not easy to manually configure all the computers and devices in your network. Fortunately, DHCP Server provides a rather simple approach to handle all these settings. This product supports the function of DHCP server.
Wireless Settings Wireless settings allow you to set the wireless configuration items. Network ID (SSID): Network ID is used for identifying the Wireless LAN (WLAN). Client stations can roam freely over this product and other Access Points that have the same Network ID. (The factory setting is “default”) Channel: The radio channel number. The permissible channels depend on the Regulatory Domain.
RADIUS Server: IP address or the 802.1X server’s domain-name. RADIUS Shared Key Key value shared by the RADIUS server and this router. This key value is consistent with the key value in the RADIUS server. WPA-PSK Select Encryption and Pre-share Key Mode. If you select HEX, you have to fill in 64 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits, if ASCII, the length of Pre-share key is from 8 to 63.

NAT Virtual Server This product’s NAT firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your Intranet, so all hosts behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you wish, you can make some of them accessible by enabling the Virtual Server Mapping. A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server IP. Virtual Server can work with Scheduling Rules, and give user more flexibility on Access control.
Some applications require multiple connections, like Internet games, Video conferencing, Internet telephony, etc. Because of the firewall function, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router. The Special Applications feature allows some of these applications to work with this product. If the mechanism of Special Applications fails to make an application work, try setting your computer as the DMZ host instead. Trigger: the outbound port number issued by the application..
Firewall Parental Control This option lets you enable / disable web sites / services by setting up rules.
MAC Filter This option lets you control the Wireless clients connectiong to your MIMO Wireless Router. Each on of them will be checked before letting them connect wirelessly. This option does not work for wired client PCs. You can select from two different policies: Allow: will let all computers access the network, except the ones appearing on the list Block: will not let any computers accessing the network unless they are on the list.
URL (Website) Blocking URL Blocking will block LAN computers to connect to pre-defined Websites. The major difference between “Domain filter” and “URL Blocking” is Domain filter require user to input suffix (like .com or .org, etc), while URL Blocking require user to input a keyword only. In other words, Domain filter can block specific website, while URL Blocking can block hundreds of websites by simply a keyword. URL Blocking Enable Check, if you want to enable URL Blocking.
Advanced Firewall Settings Enable the Advanced Firewall Protection if you want: Hacker attack monitoring and logging Advanced System Log Email Notification Enable the Discard Ping from WAN option if you don’t want to be seen on the Internet. You can also enable / disable VPN protocols to pass through your NAT Firewall Set up your E-Mail address and servers to get the notification emails on the desired account.
Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) This option lets you open all ports to one workstation behind your Router. Be careful with this option, because it let’s everybody access that particular PC from everywhere.
Dynamic DNS Services To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS). So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider. Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list in provider field.
UPnP The Universal Plug and Play architecture offers pervasive peer-to-peer network connectivity of PCs of all form factors, intelligent appliances, and wireless devices. UPnP enables seamless proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices in the home, office and everywhere in between.
