Description

 

Rule Name

 

The name of this rule.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

You can assign the download or upload bandwidth by the unit of Kbps (1024 bit per

 

Bandwidth

 

second). You can limit the maximum bandwidth consumed by this rule by selecting

 

 

 

“Maximum”. You also can reserve enough bandwidth for this rule by selecting “Guarantee”.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Enter the local IP address range of the packets that this rule will apply to. If you assign

 

Local IP Address

 

192.168.2.3 – 192.168.2.5, it means 3 IP addresses: 192.168.2.3, 192.168.2.4 and

 

 

192.168.2.5

 

 

 

Enter the local port range of the packets that this rule will apply to. You can assign a single

 

 

 

port number here or assign a range of port numbers by assigning the first port number and

 

Local Port Range

 

the last port number of the range. The two numbers are separated by a dash “-“, for

 

 

 

example “101-150” means from port number 100 to port number 150 – the range of 50 port

 

 

 

numbers.

 

Remote IP Address

 

Enter the remote IP address range of the packets that this rule will apply to. If you assign

 

 

192.168.2.3 – 192.168.2.5, it means 3 IP addresses: 192.168.2.3, 192.168.2.4 and

 

 

192.168.2.5

 

 

 

Enter the remote port range of the packets that this rule will apply to. You can assign a

 

 

 

single port number here or assign a range of port numbers by assigning the first port

 

Remote Port Range

 

number and the last port number of the range. The two numbers are separated by a dash

 

 

 

“-“, for example “101-150” means from port number 100 to port number 150 – the range of

 

 

 

50 port numbers.

 

 

 

Select the traffic type of the packets that this rule will apply to. We list some popular

 

Traffic Type

 

applications here to ease the configuration. You also can get the same result by using

 

 

other parameters, for example source or destination port number, if you are familiar with

 

 

 

 

 

 

the application protocol.

 

 

 

 

 

Protocol

 

Select the protocol type of the packets that this rule will apply to.

 

 

 

 

 

Apply

 

Apply and exit the form.

 

 

 

 

 

Reset

 

Clear the content of this form.

 

 

 

 

Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place)

2.6 NAT

Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users at your local site to access the Internet through a single Public IP Address or multiple Public IP Addresses. NAT provides Firewall protection from hacker attacks and has the flexibility to allow you to map Private IP Addresses to Public IP Addresses for key services such as Websites and FTP.

This technology allows for faster data transfer speeds, improved range, and higher capacity, making it ideal for streaming HD content, online gaming, and handling multiple devices simultaneously. With dual-band capability, Edimax routers can operate on both 2.4GHz and 5GHz frequencies, optimizing performance based on the type of activity. The 5GHz band is particularly useful for bandwidth-heavy operations, while the 2.4GHz band is great for devices that require longer range.

Security is a top priority for Edimax, and their broadband routers come equipped with robust security features like WPA/WPA2 encryption, ensuring that users' data remains secure from unauthorized access. Additionally, many Edimax models include a firewall, which offers an extra layer of protection against external threats.

User-friendliness is another hallmark of Edimax routers. The setup process is often quick and straightforward, with many models featuring WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) for easy connection of devices. The routers may also include web management interfaces that allow users to easily configure settings, monitor network traffic, and manage connected devices.

Another noteworthy characteristic is the built-in Quality of Service (QoS) functionality. This feature prioritizes bandwidth for critical applications and devices, ensuring that activities like video conferencing and online gaming experience minimal lag and buffering.

Moreover, the design of Edimax broadband routers often reflects both aesthetic considerations and functionality, typically featuring compact forms and heat-dissipating materials to enhance durability and performance.

Finally, Edimax Technology backs its products with reliable customer support and often regular firmware updates, ensuring that users can enjoy the latest enhancements and security patches. Overall, Edimax broadband routers represent a solid blend of performance, security, and user-centric features tailored for today's internet needs.
