Wireless Router Features This chapter provides setup examples of some frequentlly used router features. You can setup these features via your Web browser. 1) Choosing an Appropriate Operation Mode 1) Setting up Wireless Encryption RT-N11 provides a set of encryption and authentication methods to meet the different demands of home, SOHO, and enterprise users. Before setting up encryption and authentication for RT-N11, contact your network administrator for advice. Click Wireless -> Interface 12 e3188_WL520GU_GC_Manual.indd 14 5/22/08 2:50:37 PM RT-N11 EZ Wireless N Router User Manual R Encryption The encrytion modes supported by RT-N11 are: WEP-64bits, WEP-128bits, WPA-

Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Auto-Personal(TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), WPA-

enterprise, WPA2-enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise (TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), Radius with 802.1x WEP stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, it uses 64bits or 128bits static keys to encrypt the data for wireless transmission. To setup WEP keys, set WEP Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets WEP Keys (10 hexadicimal digits for 64-bits key or 26 hexadicimal digits for 128-bits key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase. TKIP stands for Temporal Key Integrity Protocol. TKIP dynamically generates unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session. AES stands for Advanced Encryption Standard. This solution offers stronger protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption. TKIP+AES is used when both WPA and WPA2 clients co-exist in the wireless network. WPA-Personal protects unauthorized network access by utilizing a set-up password. WPA-enterprise e3188_WL520GU_GC_Manual.indd 15 5/22/08 2:50:38 PM 13 R RT-N11 EZ Wireless N Router User Manual Authentication The authentication methods supported by RT-N11 include: Open, Shared key, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Auto-Personal (TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise (TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), and Radius with 802.1x. Open: This option disables authentication protection for wireless network. Shared Key: This mode uses the WEP keys currently in use for authentication. WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-

Auto-Personal: WPA stands for WiFi-Protected Access. WPA provides two security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and WPA-PSK for home and SOHO users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the already existing RADIUS server for authentication; for home and SOHO user, it provides Pre-Shared Key (PSK) for

Radius with 802.1x: Similar with WPA, this solution also uses RADIUS server for authentication. The difference lays on the encryption mothods: WPA adopts TKIP or AES encryption methods, while Radius with 802.1X does not provide encryption. When authentication and encryption are set, click Finish to save the settings and restart the wireless router.

Virtual Server is a Network Address Translation (NAT) function which turns a computer within a LAN into a server by allowing data packets of certain service, such as HTTP, from Internet. 1. Click 2. Select Yes to enable virtual server. For example, if host 192.168.1.100 is FTP server which is to be accessed by Internet user, it means all packets from Internet with destination port as 21 are to be directed to the host. Set Well-known Application to FTP. Port range to 21, Local IP to the host IP, Local Port to 21, Protocol to TCP. 3. Click Finish. 4.

it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program. You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee. 2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License. c) If the modified program normally reads commands interactively when run, you must cause it, when started running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it. Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program. In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Program with the Program

(or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance. 5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it. 6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify

other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program. If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances. It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice. This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License. 8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License. 28 e3188_WL520GU_GC_Manual.indd 30 5/22/08 2:51:11 PM RT-N11 EZ Wireless N Router User Manual R 9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns. Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Program specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and any later version, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation. 10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are different, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation;

we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION. 12.IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
