[. . . ] This is the best security available. ACL This wireless router supports MAC Address Control, which prevents unauthorized clients from accessing your wireless network. Enable wireless access control Enables the wireless access control function Adding an address into the list Enter the "MAC Address" of the wireless station to be added and then click "Apply". If you are having any difficulties filling in the fields, just clear the MAC Address. WPS Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to establish a connection between the wireless clients and the wireless router. You don't have to select the encryption mode and fill in a long encryption passphrase every time when you try to setup a wireless connection. You only need to press a button on both wireless client and wireless router, and WPS will do the rest for you. The wireless router supports two types of WPS: WPS via Push Button and WPS via PIN code. 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. 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. 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. 12 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. DMZ If you have a client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e. g. Games) properly from 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) going to your WAN IP address to a particular LAN client/server. Enable DMZ Enable/disable DMZ Host Fill in the IP address of a particular host in your LAN that will receive all the packets originally going to the WAN port/Public IP address above. Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. 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 blocks basic hacker attacks (DOS, Sync flood, port scan) Discard Ping to WAN interface The router's WAN port will not respond to any Ping requests Stateful packet inspection allows the user to manually determine which packets should be scanned. Access You can restrict users from accessing certain Internet applications/services (e. g. Access Control allows users to define the traffic type permitted in your LAN. You can control which PC client can have access to these services. Deny If you select "Deny" then all clients will be allowed to access Internet accept for the clients in the list below. Allow If you select "Allow" then all clients will be denied to access Internet accept for the PCs in the list below. Filter client PCs by IP Fill in "IP Filtering Table" to filter PC clients by IP. Add PC You can click Add PC to add an access control rule for users by IP addresses. Remove PC If you want to remove some PCs from the "IP 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. Filter client PC by MAC Check "Enable MAC Filtering" to enable MAC Filtering. Add PC Fill in "Client PC MAC Address" and "Comment" of the PC that is allowed 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 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". [. . . ] The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference . . . etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name "Others".
