Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-366 Wireless Network Broadband Router. The WL-366 is compliant with 802.11n v2.0 and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still being compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b devices. The WL-366 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 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless access to multimedia content. Robust RF signals travel farther, eliminating dead spots and extending network range. For data protection and privacy, the WL-366 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption.

With an inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WL-366 protects your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides safe VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and the QoS function of 802.11n, the WL-366 is ideal for media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no degradation in performance.

However, for applications that require unrestricted access to the Internet, you can configure a specific client/server as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Enable or disable Firewall module function : ☑ Enable ○ Disable 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.

Select Disable to disable the NAT function.

Virtual Server

Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to handle different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address and its service port number.

QoS

QoS can let you classify Internet application traffic by source/destination IP address and port number. You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. 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". The rule with a smaller priority number has a higher priority; the rule with a larger priority number has a lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down.
