manual abstract
• If you are not sure about the IPv6 connection, you can use the Setup Wizard to automatically detect your Internet connection type. Traffic Meter Traffic metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic passing through your wireless router’s Internet port. With the Traffic Meter utility, you can set limits for traffic volume, set a monthly limit, and get a live update of traffic usage. To monitor traffic on your wireless router: 1. Select Advanced > Traffic Meter. The following screen displays: 2. To enable the Traffic Meter, select the Enable Traffic Meter check box. 3. If you would like to record and restrict the volume of Internet traffic, select the Traffic volume control by radio button. You can select one of the following options for controlling the traffic volume: • No limit. No restriction is applied when the traffic limit is reached. • Download only. The restriction is applied to incoming traffic only. • Both directions. The restriction is applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic. 4. You can limit the amount of data traffic allowed per month: • By specifying how many Mbytes per month are allowed. • By specifying how many hours of traffic are allowed. 5. Set the Traffic Counter to begin at a specific time and date. 6. Set up Traffic Control to issue a warning message before the monthly limit of Mbytes or hours is reached. You can select one of the following to occur when the limit is attained: • The Internet LED flashes green or amber. • The Internet connection is disconnected and disabled. 7. Set up Internet Traffic Statistics to monitor the data traffic. 8. Click the Traffic Status button if you want a live update on Internet traffic status on your wireless router. 9.

Select No and click Apply. 3. To define the approved devices, click USB Approved Devices. Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks With the wireless router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an IEEE 802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the wireless router with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients using their MAC addresses rather than IP addresses. A repeater with wireless client associations sends all traffic to the remote access point. Select Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function to display the following screen: The process is the same for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz wireless network. • Enable Wireless Repeating Function (2.4 GHz/5 GHz). Select the check box for the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz network to use the wireless repeating function. • Wireless MAC of this router. This field displays the MAC address for your wireless router for your reference. You will need to enter this MAC address in the corresponding Wireless Repeating Function screen of the other access point you are using. • Wireless Repeater. If your wireless router is the repeater, select this check box. • Repeater IP Address. If your wireless router is the repeater, enter the IP address of the other access point. • Disable Wireless Client Association. If your wireless router is the repeater, selecting this check box means that wireless clients cannot associate with it. Only LAN client associations are allowed. -If you are setting up a point-to-point bridge, select this check box. -If you want all client traffic to go through the other access point (repeater with wireless client association), leave this check box cleared. • Base Station MAC Address. If your wireless router is the repeater, enter the MAC address for the access point that is the base station. • Wireless Base Station. If your wireless router is the base station, select this check box. • Disable Wireless Client Association. If your wireless router is the base station, selecting this check box means that wireless clients cannot associate with it. Only LAN client associations are allowed. • Repeater MAC Address (1 through 4). If your wireless router is the base station, it can act as the “parent” of up to 4 other access points. Enter the MAC addresses of the other access points in these fields. Set Up a Repeater with Wireless Client Association In the repeater mode with wireless client association, your wireless router sends all traffic to a base station access point. You can set up the wireless router as either the base station (parent) or as the repeater (child) access point. Note that the following restrictions apply: • You do not have the option of disabling client associations with this wireless router. • You cannot configure a sequence of parent-child APs. You are limited to only one parent access point, although if your wireless router is the parent access point, it can connect with up to four child access points. The following figure shows an example of a repeater mode configuration. Figure 2. Repeater example To set up a repeater with w...
