ESR-9753 is not only a Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Switch that connects your wired-Ethernet devices together at incredible speeds. At 150Mbps wireless transmission rate, Access Point built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple steams of data in a single wireless channel giving you seamless access to multimedia content. Robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and extends network range. For data protection and privacy, ESR-9753 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. With inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall ESR-9753 protects your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides safe VPN pass-through. [. . . ] If you want to use the Push Button, you have to push a specific button on the wireless client or in the utility of the wireless client to start the WPS mode, and switch the wireless router to WPS mode. You can simply push the WPS button of the wireless router, or click the `Start to Process' button in the web configuration interface. If you want to use the PIN code, you have to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then fill-in the PIN code of the wireless client through the web configuration interface of the wireless router. 46 WPS: Check the box to enable WPS function and uncheck it to disable the WPS function. WPS Current Status: If the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set, you'll see a `Configured' message here. Otherwise, you'll see `UnConfigured'. Self Pin Code: This is the WPS PIN code of the wireless router. You may need this information when connecting to other WPS-enabled wireless devices. SSID: This is the network broadcast name (SSID) of the router. Authentication Mode: It shows the active authentication mode for the wireless connection. Passphrase Key: It shows the passphrase key that is randomly generated by the wireless router during the WPS process. You may need this information when using a device which doesn't support WPS. Interface: If device is set to repeater mode, you can choose "Client" interface to connect with other AP by using WPS, otherwise you may choose "AP" interface to do WPS with other clients. WPS via Push Button: Press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless devices within 2 minutes. WPS via PIN: You can fill-in the PIN code of the wireless device and press the button to start the WPS process. The router will wait for the WPS request from the wireless device within 2 minutes. 47 - Client List This WLAN Client Table shows the Wireless client associate to this Wireless Router. - Policy The Broadband router can allow you to set up the Wireless Access Policy. WAN Connection: Allow Wireless Client on specific SSID to access WAN port. Communication between Wireless clients: Allow Wireless Client to communicate with other Wireless Client on specific SSID. Communication between Wireless clients and wired clients: Allow Wireless Client to communicate with other Wireless Client on specific SSID and Wired Client on the switch. Or Wireless Client will allow to access WAN port only 48 Firewall Settings The Broadband router provides extensive firewall protection by restricting connection parameters, thus limiting the risk of hacker attacks, and defending against a wide array of common Internet attacks. However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ). Note: To enable the Firewall settings select Enable and click Apply - Advanced You can allow the VPN packets to pass through this Broadband router. 49 - Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e. g. Games) properly behind the NAT firewall, then you can open up the firewall restrictions to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e. g. FTP, websites) to a particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) from your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server. Enable DMZ: Enable/disable DMZ LAN IP Address: Fill-in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN Network or select a PC from the list on the right that will receive all the packets originally from the WAN port/Public IP address. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. 50 - Denial of Service (DoS) The Broadband router's firewall can block common hacker attacks, including Denial of Service, Ping of Death, Port Scan and Sync Flood. If Internet attacks occur the router can log the events. Ping of Death: Protections from Ping of Death attack. Discard Ping From WAN: The router's WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests Port Scan: Protects the router from Port Scans. Sync Flood: Protects the router from Sync Flood attack. 51 - MAC Filter If you want to restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications / services (e. g. Internet websites, email, FTP etc. ), and then this is the place to set that configuration. MAC Filter allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your LAN. You can control which PC client can have access to these services. Enable MAC Filtering: Check to enable or disable MAC Filtering. Deny: If you select "Deny" then all clients will be allowed to access Internet except the clients in the list below. Allow: If you select "Allow" then all clients will be denied to access Internet except the PCs in the list below. 52 Add PC MAC Address Fill in "LAN MAC Address" and <Description> of the PC that is allowed / denied to access the Internet, and then click <Add>. If you find any typo before adding it and want to retype again, just click <Reset> and the fields will be cleared. Remove PC MAC Address If you want to remove some PC from the "MAC Filtering Table", select the PC you want to remove in the table and then click <Delete Selected>. If you want to remove all PCs from the table, just click the <Delete All> button. [. . . ] The router will set its time based on your selection. NTP Time Server: This accept local the IP Address of Local NTP Time Server Address. Daylight Savings: The router can also take Daylight Savings into account. If you wish to use this function, you must select the Daylight Savings Time period and check/tick the enable box to enable your daylight saving configuration. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations 87 Synchronize with PC You could synchronize timer with your Local PC time. PC Date and Time: This field would display the PC date and time. Daylight Savings: The router can also take Daylight Savings into account. If you wish to use this function, you must select the Daylight Savings Time period and check/tick the enable box to enable your daylight saving configuration. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. 88 - Power Saving power in WLAN mode can be enabled / disabled in this page. - Diagnosis This page could let you diagnosis your current network status. 89 - Firmware This page allows you to upgrade the router's firmware.
