USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE
Using the Access Point Mode
Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced
users only. The Router can be configured to work as a wireless
network access point. Using this mode will defeat the NAT IP
sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the Router will need
to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet
as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP
address is 192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These
can be customized for your need.
1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as
Access Point only” page. When you select this option, you will
be able to change the IP settings.
Configuring the Firewall
Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network
from a wide array of common hacker attacks including:
• IPSpoofing•SYNflood
• LandAttackPingofDeath(PoD)•UDPflooding
• DenialofService(DoS)•TearDropAttack
• IPwithzerolength•ICMPdefect
• SmurfAttack•RIPdefect
• TCPNullScan •Fragmentflooding
The firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to
attack networks. These ports appear to be “stealth” meaning that for
all intents and purposes, they do not exist to a would-be hacker. You
can turn the firewall function off if needed; however, it is recommended
that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling the firewall protection will
not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker attacks, but it is
recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.
2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click “Apply Changes”.
3. Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your
existing network.
The Router is now acting as an access point. To access the Router
advanced user interface again, type the IP address you specified into
your browser’s navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC
address filtering, SSID, and channel normally.
