or you want to use it to amplify wireless signals. 
SSID:  SSID  (Service  Set  Identifier)  is  the  identity  of  the  wireless device. You can  only 
access  to  the  ISP’ network  by  entering  the  correct SSID,  namely the  SSID  of the ISP’s 
wireless  device.  You  can  click the “Open  scan” button  to  let the router  automatically 
search the ISP’s available SSID. The SSID can also be the SSID of the superior wireless 
device when using wireless bridge. 
MAC:  To connect  to  the  ISP’s  wireless device,  you need  to  know  the  device’s  MAC 
address. You can click the “Open scan” button to let the router automatically search the 
wireless device’s MAC or superior wireless device’s MAC. 
Channel:  The  wireless  device’s  communication channel.  You must  select the same 
channel  as the ISP’s  wireless  device  to  enable  their  communications. It  can  also  be 
scanned by clicking the “Open scan” button. 
Security mode: When the ISP  wireless  device  is secured, the  access  device  should set 
the same security mode, encryption mode and key as the ISP’ wireless device. 
For example  
If your ISP wireless device’s SSID is “wireless”, then just enter the ISP’s SSID,  wireless 
MAC address,  and channel respectively  into the corresponding fields of  the  above 
picture.  If the  ISP  device  is  secured,  please  set  your  router’s  encryption  type the  same 
as  the  ISP  device’s  .Or  you  can  click the “Open scan”  button to  let the router 
automatically fill in the SSID, Channel and wireless MAC. After saving, come back to the 
WAN Setting  screen  to  select the corresponding WAN  connection  type  to  complete the 
settings (For example,  if your ISP  wireless  device’s  connection  type  is  dynamic IP, just 
select DHCP). 
 
4.6 Bandwidth Control 
Bandwidth control  is  used  to  limit the communication traffic  of LAN computers when 
accessing  the  Internet. It  can  simultaneously  control  maximum of 254  PCs  traffic.  In 
addition, IP address range configuration is supported.

 Enable Bandwidth Control: To  enable  or  disable  the  internal  IP  bandwidth 
control. The default is disabled. 
 IP Address: The IP address range of the hosts whose traffic has been controlled. 
It can be a single IP address or IP address range. 
 Upload/Download: To  specify  the  traffic  heading  way  for  the selected  IP 
addresses: upload or download. 
 Bandwidth Range: The maximum  and  minimum  upload/download data  traffic  of 
the  hosts  in  specified  IP  range.  The  unit  is  KByte/s.  The  uplink of  upload  and 
download can not exceed the WAN port bandwidth limitation range. 
 Enable: To  enable  the  current  edited rule. Otherwise, the  rule  will not  go  into 
effect. 
 Add to list: After you edit the rule, click the “add to list” button to add the current 
rule to the rule list. 
Here  we  take  2Mbps  bandwidth  as  an example. Theoretically,  the  biggest  downloading 
rate  for  2Mbps  bandwidth  is  2Mbps=256KByte/s,  and  the  biggest  uploading  rate  is 
512kbps=64KByte/s 
Example 1  
If you want to set the download rate of the computer at the IP address of 192.168.0.100 
as 80-90KByte/s, upload rate as 10-15KByte/s, first add one upload rule as shown in the 
picture below:  
						

							                      11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide 
 23 
 1. Enter 192.168.0.100 in the IP address field  
2. Select upload in the Upload/Download field. 
3. Enter 10-15 in the bandwidth range field 
4. Select “Enable” 
5. Click “Add to list” 
6. Click “Ok” to finish the upload rule settings. 
 
And then add a download rule as shown in the picture below. 
  
The setting method is the same as the above. 
 
Example  2 Set  the  download  rate of all  computers  within  the  range  of 
192.168.0.2--192.168.0.254 as 100-120KByte/s,  and  the  upload  rate as 20-30KByte/s,

as shown in the picture below. 
 
 The setting method is the same as Example 1.

 Enable  Traffic  statistics: It is  used to  calculate the  traffic  used by the  LAN computers. 
You can enable it to calculate the traffic for you. Usually, disable it to improve the router’s 
data packet processing ability, and the default is disabled. When this function is enabled, 
the webpage  will  refresh  automatically  every five minutes, meanwhile, each  computer’s 
traffic value will refresh automatically. 
 IP address: the IP address of the computer whose traffic is being calculated. 
 Uplink rate: the data sending speed per second, the unit is KByte/s. 
 Downlink rate: the data receiving speed per second, the unit is KByte/s. 
 Sent  message: the  number  of  the calculated  computer’s data  packets  that are 
sent out through the router. 
 
 Sent  Bytes: the  volume  of the calculated  computer’s statistics  that  is  sent  out 
through the router 
 Received  message: the  number  of the calculated  computer’s the  data  packets 
that are received through the router. 
 Received  Bytes: the  volume  of the calculated  computer’s statistics  that  is 
received through the router.
