1.1 Wireless Router Features

The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use. Internet Access Features Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet through the Wireless Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address Translation). DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported. PPPO0E, PPTP and L2TP Support. The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPP0E (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol) and L2TP, as well as "Direct Connection" type services. Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IP Address. 1 AirLive WN-300R User's Manual

Advanced Internet Functions Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally. Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall. Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy. Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy. Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dynamic IP address which changes every time you connect. URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users. Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to different groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group. Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic. Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you. QoS Support Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important connections receive priority over less important one. Wireless Features Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANSs. Supports Pre-N Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously. Multi SSIDs Support. This feature can let you have 2 SSIDs on one AP, which provides more easy way for Guest access and also secure your resource at the same time. Speeds to 300Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11N maximum of 300Mbps are supported. WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before trans- mission, providing protection against snoopers. WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission, providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP. WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the ex- tremely secure AËS encryption method. 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization. AïirLive WN-300R User's Manual 2

Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN. Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed quickly and easily. WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connect- ing any device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wireless Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button. WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wire- less Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge modes are supported. LAN Features 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN. DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dy- namic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN. Configuration & Management Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configuration. Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless Router. Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your LAN or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (op- tionally) be configured via the Internet. Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS lookup. UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and configuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later. Security Features Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to pre- vent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings. Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC address are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN. NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the loca- tion and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Router. Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server re- quests are filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources. Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much band- 3 AirLive WN-300R Users Manual

width and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates protection against Dos attacks.

This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. DDNS Services work as follows:

1. You must register for the service at one of the listed DDNS Service providers.

2. After registration, use the Service provider's normal procedure to obtain your

desired Domain name.

3. Enter your DDNS data on the Wireless Router's DDNS screen, and enable the

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Wireless Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this, the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless Router as the Default Route or Default Gateway. Local Router The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless Router. This router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless Router itself. Typi- cally, routers have a special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows. Destination IP Address Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta- tion. Network Mask Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documenta- tion. Gateway IP Address The IP Address of the Wireless Router. Metric 1 Other Routers on the Local LAN Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's Local Router as the Default Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless Router's local router, with the exception of the Gateway IP Address. + For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the Wireless Router's local router. ° For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the in- termediate router. Static Routing - Example Segment 0 Router À (192.168.0.xx) (192.168.1.80) A (192.168.0.100) 2 # Segment 1 À (192.168.1.xx) | | Wireless Router Router B (192.168.0.1) L 2 A (192.168.1.90) (192.168.2.70) 7 Segment 2 (192.168.2.xx) Figure 64: Routing Example AïirLive WN-300R User's Manual 88

This Chapter explains configuration and operation when in "Access Point".

There are two modes available on the Access Point screen. ° Router -In this mode, this device can provide shared Internet Access to all your LAN users. Also, by default, it acts a DHCP Server, providing an IP address and related information to all Wireless and LAN users.

• Access Point - The device links your Wireless Stations to your wired LAN. The Wireless stations and devices on the wired LAN are then on the same network, and can communicate with each other without regard for whether they are con- nected to the network via a Wireless or wired connection. This Chapter describes operation while in Access Point Mode.

8.2 Management Connections

+ You need to have a DHCP Server on your LAN to provide IP addresses to the Wireless clients using this Access Point. °__ This AP must be a valid device on your LAN, to allow management connections. You must assign a (fixed) IP address which is within the address range used on your LAN, but not within the address range used by your DHCP server. When you connect in future, just connect normally, using the IP address you assigned.

1. Start your WEB browser.

2. Inthe Address box, enter "HTTP://" and the current IP Address of the Wireless

ADSL Modem, as in this example, which uses the Wireless ADSL Modem's de- fault IP Address: HTTP/192.168.1.254

3. When prompted for the User name and Password, enter admin for the user name,

and the current password, as set on the password screen. (The password is the same regardless of the mode.)

This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.

This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.

9.2 General Problems

Problem 1: Solution 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it. Check the following: The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON. Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.) If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client), restart it. If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 and thus compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of

Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.

Problem 1: Solution 1: Problem 2: When l enter a URL or IP address | get a time out error. A number of things could be causing this. Try the following trouble- shooting steps. Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address. Ifthe PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Con- nect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.) Check the Wireless Router's status screen to see if it is working correctly. Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router. 96 AirLive WN-300R User's Manual

Solution 2: The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. For incoming connections, you must use the Virtual Server or Fire- wall Rules to specify the PC which will receive the incoming traffic. You can also use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: ltis a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. Only one (1) PC can use this feature.

Problem 1: Solution 1: Problem 2: Solution 2: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point. Check the following. Your PC is set to /nfrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in Infrastructure Mode) The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same. Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup". Both your PC and the Wireless Router must have the same setting for WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP dis- abled. If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP enabled, and the key must match. Ifthe Wireless Router's Wireless screen is set to Allow Trusted PCs only, then each of your Wireless stations must have been designated as "Trusted", or the Wireless station will be blocked. To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connec- tion is possible when close to the Wireless Router. Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments. Wireless connection speed is very slow. The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the high- est possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following: Wireless Router location. Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless Router. Wireless Channel If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement. Radio Interference Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices should be shielded or relocated. RF Shielding Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only pos- 97 AirLive WN-300R Users Manual

sible when close to the Wireless Router. AïirLive WN-300R User's Manual 98

Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: ° Ad-hoc ° Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wire- less Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations can then access all LAN resources. I Access Points can only function in "Infrastructure" mode, [N] and can communicate only with Wireless Stations which are Notel set to "Infrastructure" mode.

BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to com- municate with each other. ESS A group of Wireless Stations, and multiple Access Points, all using the same ID (ESSID), form an Extended Service Set (ESS). Different Access Points within an ESS can use different Channels. In fact, to reduce interference, it is recommended that adjacent Access Points SHOULD use different channels. As Wireless Stations are physically moved through the area covered by an ESS, they Will automatically change to the Access Point which has the least interference or best performance. This capability is called Roaming. (Access Points do not have or require Roaming capabilities.) 99 AirLive WN-300R User's Manual

The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. - Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best perform- ance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channels are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce inter- ference. ° __In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) ° __lfusing "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Chan- nels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.

WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmit- ted. This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it. If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WEP Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit Key For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match. For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match WEP Authentication | Open System or Shared Key.

WPA-PSK is another standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted. This is a later standard than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), and provides greater security for your data. Data is encrypted using a 256Bit key which is automatically generated and changed often. If all your Wireless stations support WPA-PSK, you should use this instead of WEP. If WPA-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WPA PSK Enter the same value on every station and the AP. (Pre-shared Key) | The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is de- rived from this key. Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely- supported method is AES. AïrLive WN-300R Users Manual 100

This is a later version of WPA (WPA-PSK). The major change is the use of AES (Advanced Encryption System) for protecting data. AES is very secure, considered to be unbreakable. The PSK (Pre-shared Key) must be entered on each Wireless station. If WPA2-PSK is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WPA2 PSK Enter the same value on every station and the AP. (Pre-shared Key) | The PSK must be from 8 to 63 characters in length. The 256Bit key used for the actual encryption is de- rived from this key. Encryption The same encryption method must be used. The most common encryption method is TKIP. Another widely- supported method is AES.

WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires a Radius Server on your LAN to provide the client authentication according to the 802.1x standard. Data transmissions are encrypted using the WPA standard. If this option is used: + The Access Point must have a "client login" on the Radius Server. ° Each user must have a "user login" on the Radius Server. ° Each user's wireless client must support 802.1x and provide the login data when required. ° All data transmission is encrypted using the WPA standard. Keys are automati- cally generated, so no key input is required.

10.8 Wireless LAN Configuration

To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows: Mode On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastruc- ture". (The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.) SSID (ESSID) Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point. Wireless The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same Security settings for Wireless security.
