• WAN Type - Please select the appropriate connection method and options and apply the configuration settings provided by your ISP.
• ADSL (Ethernet Over ATM (RFC 1483 Bridged) with NAT / IP Over ATM (RFC 1483 Routed)
• IP Mode - Select Dynamic IP Address if your ADSL WAN IP address settings are obtained automatically from your ISP. Select Static IP Address if you have specific ADSL WAN IP address settings provided by your ISP and enter the settings in the provided fields.
• ISP registered MAC Address - Some ISPs will register your MAC address on PC. You can click the ��Clone' button to copy the MAC address of your current computer here, or you can input the MAC address manually. Otherwise, you can leave this setting blank.
• MTU (Maximum Transfer Unit) - It recommended to keep the default setting ��0�� which automatically detects the required value for the connection. Otherwise, you can manually enter the required value by your ISP.
• NAT disable - It is recommended to keep the default setting (NAT enabled) ��unchecked��. This setting is available for all ADSL WAN connection types except for RFC 1483 Bridged in which the works in bridge or modem only mode.
• Data Encapsulation - Select LLC (Logical Link Control) or VCMUX (Virtual Circuit Multiplexing), according to your ISP.
• VPI Number - If instructed to change this by your ISP, type in the VPI value for the initial connection (using PVC 0). Default= 0
• VCI Number - If instructed to change this by your ISP, type in the VCI value for the initial connection (using PVC 0). Default= 33
• Schedule Type - Select the Quality of Service type specified by your ISP. Options are: UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate), CBR (Constant Bit Rate), VBR (Variable Bit Rate), and GFR (Guaranteed Frame Rate).
• Multicast - You can click the drop-down list to enable IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol). This allows IGMP to pass through the modem router for specific multicast applications such as IPTV. Selecting Auto will automatically configure the appropriate IGMP version required, otherwise select the specific IGMP version required ( IGMP v1, IGMP v2, or IGMP v3 ).
• IGMP Snooping - Check the option to enable IGMP snooping on the LAN interface. If computers or devices are using multicast applications such IPTV or multicast streaming on your LAN network, it is recommended to check this option to prevent any unnecessary multicast traffic from causing performance issues with your modem router.
WAN Interface - Select between ADSL WAN (default) or Ethernet WAN type.
• ADSL WAN (Default) - Select this option when connecting your modem router directly to a DSL telephone line through the RJ-11 (DSL) telephone port on your modem router in order to connect to the Internet. The Setup Wizard can also be used to easily set up your ADSL connection settings which include automatic detection of VPI/VCI settings. Up to 8 PVCs can be configured and active.
• Ethernet WAN - Select this option to configure LAN port 1 into an Ethernet WAN port to connect to the Internet using an RJ-45 Ethernet cable.
WAN Type - Select the correct WAN type according to your ISP (Internet Service Provider) connection settings. You may need to contact your ISP to check the connection setting details such as WAN Type.
Connection Control - Applies only to PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) connection types.
• Connect-On Demand (Default) - The modem router will establish Internet connection to the ISP only when in use. DSL connection will automatically be disconnected when the Maximum Idle Time is reached during periods of inactivity. Connection will be re-established automatically when there is an attempt to access the Internet through the modem router.
• Auto Reconnect (always-on) - The modem router will keep the Internet connection to the ISP connected at all times.
• Manually - The modem router Internet connection to the ISP will be controlled manually through the Status page using the Connect  and  Disconnect  buttons.
Maximum Idle Time - Enter the Maximum Idle Time in seconds before automatic disconnect during periods of inactivity. This setting only applies to Connect-On Demand  mode.
NAT disable - The NAT function can be enabled (default recommended setting) or disabled.
• VLAN Tag - A specific VLAN ID can be assigned to the WAN interface ID range 1~4094.

• AP Router Mode (Default) - Allows wireless client devices to connect functioning as a wireless access point (AP) and also function as router at the same time.
• AP Only Mode - Allows wireless client devices to connect functioning as a wireless access point (AP) only.
• AP Only Mode - llows wireless client devices to connect functioning as a wireless access point (AP) and also able to wirelessly bridge to another wireless distribution system (WDS) capable wireless access point at the same time. Up to 4 remote WDS APs are supported.
• WDS Only Mode - Able to wirelessly bridge to another wireless distribution system (WDS) capable wireless access point only. This mode does NOT allow wireless client devices to connect functioning as a wireless access point (AP).
• Universal Repeater - Able to repeat/extend the wireless signal of another existing wireless access point (AP).

• Open: Open system authentication simply consists of two communications. The first is an authentication request by the client that contains the station ID (typically the MAC address). This is followed by an authentication response from the AP/router containing a success or failure message. An example of when a failure may occur is if the client's MAC address is explicitly excluded in the AP/router configuration. In this mode, you can choose no encryption or WEP encryption.
• Shared: Shared key authentication relies on the fact that both stations taking part in the authentication process have the same "shared" key or passphrase. The shared key is manually set on both the client station and the AP/router. Three types of shared key authentication are available today for home or small office WLAN environments. In this mode, WEP encryption is required.
• Auto: The AP will Select the Open or Shared by the client`s request automatically.
• WPA-PSK: Select TKIP or AES 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 you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63.Fill in the key, Ex 12345678.
• WPA2-PSK: Select TKIP or AES 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 you select ASCII, the length of pre-share key is from 8 to 63.Fill in the key, Ex 12345678.
• WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK: If selecting WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode, wireless clients can connect to this router via WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.

Subnet Mask
Input your Subnet mask. (All devices in the network must have the same subnet mask.) The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

With DHCP server functionality, this device can assign IP address to local wired or wireless computers or devices.

• DHCP Server: Choose either Disable or Enable. If you enable the DHCP Server function, the following settings will be effective.
• IP Pool Starting/Ending Address: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting / ending address of the IP address pool.
• Lease Time: DHCP lease time to the DHCP client.
• Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the clients. Press 'More>>' and you can find more settings.
• Primary DNS/Secondary DNS: Optional. This feature allows you to assign a DNS Servers.
• Primary WINS/Secondary WINS: Optional. This feature allows you to assign a WINS Servers.
• Gateway: Optional. Router Address would be the IP address of an alternate Router. This function enables you to assign another Router to your PC as default gateway, when DHCP server offers an IP to your PC.
