Encryption
The encrytion modes supported by WL-520GU/GC are: WEP-64bits, WEP-128bits, 
WPA-Personal,  WPA2-Personal,  WPA-Auto-Personal(TKIP.  AES.  TKIP+AES), 
WPA-enterprise,  WPA2-enterprise,  WPA-Auto-Enterprise  (TKIP. AES.  TKIP+AES), 
Radius with 802.1x
WEP  stands  for  Wired  Equivalent  Privacy,  it  uses  64bits  or  128bits  static  keys 
to  encrypt  the  data  for  wireless  transmission.  To  setup  WEP  keys,  set WEP 
Encryption to WEP-64bits or WEP-128bits, then manually type in four sets WEP 
Keys  (10  hexadicimal  digits  for  64-bits  key  or  26  hexadicimal  digits  for  128-bits 
key). You can also let the system generate the keys by entering a Passphrase. 
TKIP  stands  for  Temporal  Key  Integrity  Protocol.  TKIP  dynamically  generates 
unique keys to encrypt every data packet in a wireless session.
AES  stands  for  Advanced  Encryption  Standard.  This  solution  offers  stronger 
protection and increases the complexity of wireless encryption.
TKIP+AES  is  used  when  both  WPA  and  WPA2  clients  co-exist  in  the  wireless 
network.
WPA-Personal  protects  unauthorized  network  access  by  utilizing  a  set-up 
password.
WPA-enterprise verifies network users through a server.

2. Select Yes  to  enable  virtual server.  For  example,  if  host 192.168.1.100 is FTP server which  is  to  be  accessed  by Internet  user,  it  means  all packets  from  Internet  with destination port as 21 are to be  directed  to  the  host.  Set Well-known  Application  to FTP. Port range to 21, Local IP  to  the  host  IP,  Local  Port to 21, Protocol to TCP.
3.  Click 
Finish.
4.  C l i c k 
S a v e  &  R e s t a r t  t o restart  the  wireless  router and activate the settings.
Authentication
The  authentication  methods  supported  by  WL-520GU/GC  include:  Open,  Shared 
key, WPA-Personal, WPA2-Personal, WPA-Auto-Personal (TKIP. AES. TKIP+AES), 
WPA-Enterprise, WPA2-Enterprise, WPA-Auto-Enterprise (TKIP. AES.  TKIP+AES), 
and Radius with 802.1x.
Open: This  option  disables  authentication  protection  for  wireless  network. 
Shared Key: This mode uses the WEP keys currently in use for authentication.
WPA-Enterprise,  WPA2-Enterprise,  WPA-Personal,  WPA2-Personal,  WPA-
Auto-Personal:  WPA  stands  for  WiFi-Protected  Access.  WPA  provides  two 
security modes: WPA for enterprise network, and WPA-PSK for home and SOHO 
users. For enterprise network, WPA uses the already existing RADIUS server for 
authentication;  for  home  and  SOHO  user,  it  provides  Pre-Shared  Key  (PSK)  for 
user identification. The Pre-Shared Key consists of 8 to 64 characters.
Radius  with  802.1x:  Similar  with  WPA,  this  solution  also  uses  RADIUS  server 
for  authentication.  The  difference  lays  on  the  encryption  mothods:  WPA  adopts 
TKIP  or  AES  encryption  methods,  while  Radius  with  802.1X  does  not  provide 
encryption.
When  authentication  and  encryption  are  set,  click Finish  to  save  the  settings  and 
restart the wireless router.
3) Setting up Virtual Server in Your LAN
Vi r t u a l  S e r v e r  i s  a  N e t w o r k  A d d r e s s  Tr a n s l a t i o n  ( N AT ) 
function  which  turns  a  computer  within  a  LAN  into  a  server 
by  allowing  data  packets  of  certain  service,  such  as  HTTP, 
from Internet. 
1. Click Virtual Server in NAT Setting folder to open the NAT configuration page.

1. Click Virtual DMZ in the NAT Setting menu.
2.  Enter  the  IP  address  of  the 
host and click Finish.
3.  Click 
Save  &  Restart  to restart  the  wireless  router and activate the settings.
5) Setting up DDNS
DNS  enables  host  who  uses  static  IP  address  to  associate  with  a  domain  name; 
for  dynamic  IP  user,  they  can  also  associate  with  a  domain  name  via  dynamic 
DNS  (DDNS).  DDNS  requires  registering  and  account-creating  at  DDNS  service 
providers'  website.  The  DDNS  server  updates  your  IP  address  information  once 
you are assigned to a new IP address. Therefore, Internet user can always access 
your network. 
1. Click Miscellaneous from IP Config folder.
2.  S e l e c t 
Ye s  t o  e n a b l e  t h e D D N S  s e r v i c e .  I f  y o u  d o not  have  a  DDNS  account, click Free  Trial  to  register for a trial account.
4) Setting up Virtual DMZ in Your LAN
To  expose  an  internal  host  to  Internet  and  make  all  services  provided  by  this  host 
available to outside users, enable Vitural DMZ function to open all ports of the host. 
This function is useful when the host plays multiple roles such as HTTP server and 
FTP server. However, in doing this, your network becomes less secure.
Note: When the virtual DMA is enabled, the wireless/wired 
clients of the WL-520GU/GC will not be protected.
