The Radio Band gives you two (2) options: Auto and Standard - 20MHz channel, Standard channel is what all B/G/N devices use. If you select Wide channel for the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can use two channels: a primary one (Auto) and a secondary one (Standard Channel). This will improve Wireless-N performance. 8. What is "MAC address clone" and what is it for?

Some Internet Service Providers, especially Cable companies, require you to register the MAC Address of the modem, router or Ethernet adapter of the computer in order to access the Internet. If you do not wish to re-register the MAC address currently registered with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have currently registered with your ISP to the router using the MAC Address Clone feature. If you want to clone the MAC address of the computer that you are using to configure the router, and then click the Clone My MAC Address button. The router will automatically detect your computers MAC address, so you do NOT have to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the routers MAC address. It is recommended that the computer registered with the ISP is used to enable this feature on the router. 9. What is Diagnostics and what is it for?

Diagnostics is used to check internet connect and application "ping, "traceroute command to check your networks connectivity to the Internet. 10. What is Port Forwarding?

Port Forwarding allows you to set up public services on your network, such as web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized Internet applications. 11. What is Port Triggering?

Port Triggering will forward port based on the incoming port specified. Check your software application to find out what is necessary to enter in these fields. NOTE: You can set up to ten (10) port triggering entries. 12. What is "DMZ" and what is it for?

Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming and videoconferencing. DMZ hosting forwards all the ports at the same time to one computer. However, Port Range Forwarding is more secure because it only opens the ports you want to forward, while DMZ hosting opens all the ports of one computer, exposing the computer to the Internet. 13. How many Network modes supported in E900?

It supports three (3) Network Modes - 802.11b, 802.11g, 802.11n. 14. What is wireless MAC Filter and what is it for?
