You will notice all NAT or firewall settings disappear from the Advanced menu hereafter. Now follow Step 2 of Section 5 – Getting On-line.

Quality of Service (QoS)

The router allows prioritising of upstream traffic (to the Internet) by allowing the user to overwrite the Type of Service (TOS) field in the IP datagram header. TOS parameters such as Precedence, Delay, Throughput & Reliability are described in the RFC791 Internet Protocol specification.

The user specifies the traffic conditions and traffic rules. The router has three queues for traffic priority: high, medium and low. Low priority packets are not sent when there are higher priority queues. When QoS is enabled a received packet has the TOS field in its header overwritten by the traffic rule, subject to traffic conditions are met.

The router supports both Bridge (layer 2) and IP (layer 3) QoS. The difference is how traffic conditions can be set. With Bridge QoS, IEEE 802.1p priorities are used as conditions for a traffic rule to apply. With IP QoS, it is the IP criteria defined by the user that determines the rule to apply.

Please refer to the User’s Manual for other advanced functions. Always restart the router to activate any changes to configuration.

8Setting up wireless

A full description on this topic is found on Chapter 4 – Wireless on pages 51-59 of the User’s Manual.

Wireless support is activated by default. The WLAN light comes on indicating the wireless link is ready. The router supports both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless standards. For indoor operations, typical ranges of operation are 20m and 60m respectively.

Wireless security features are disabled for ease of install. It is essential to have some form of wireless security enabled after you have verified that wireless stations can communicate with the router. To the minimum, have Access Control enabled to deny access from unwanted wireless stations.
