IP Setting
DHCP Server
You can setup IP address information for the LAN
ports of your wireless router.
Your wireless router can act as a DHCP server, and
assign IP addresses to your clients automatically.This
function is enabled by default. The assigned IP
addressed will be within the range of IP pool that you
specify. It is a good security practice to set just enough
range of IP pool for the devices you want to connect to
this wireless network.This can block other unintended
devices to enter your network.
• IP Pool Starting Address: Enter a value for the
DHCP server to start with when issuing IP
addresses.The default value is 192.168.62.12.
• IP Pool Ending Address:The maximum number of
PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP
addresses to.This number cannot be greater than
253.

• LeaseTime: Setting Lease Time for shorter period,
such as one day or several hours, can free up IP
addresses frequently. However, you may
experience brief network performance drag down or
stall when DHCP reassigning IP addresses to
clients. It also causes a computer’s IP address
changed over time. If you will use some advanced
router features, such as DMZ or client IP filters, you
may select longer time to avoid frequent re-set, or
you can use Static Host setting described below.

• Accept Broadcast SSID
By broadcasting SSID, all wireless devices at
surrounding area can see your wireless router and
easy to associate with it. However, it is a good
security practice not to broadcast SSID, just
configure SSID info to those client devices you want
them to access you network.
• SSID (Service Set ID, or Network Name):
Enter the name you wish to give your Wireless-G
Broadband Router (ex. “JOHN” or “IOGEAR”).
Every Wireless Clients (PC card, USB and PCI
adaptors) in your network must be configured to
accept with the same SSID.

Authentication & Encryption
It allows you to configure the setting of network
authentication and data encryption.
• Network Authentication:
You can specify the authentication type.
- “Both” allows wireless client devices access
your router no matter with shared key or not.
- “Share Key” only allows devices with same
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) key to
access your wireless router.
- “802.1X” and “WPA” require you to type in
Radius server IP and server key. Please
check with your Network Administrator for
related information.
- “WPA-PSK” needs a pre-shared key to be set
on your wireless router and all wireless client
devices.

• Encryption:
- WEP Configuration
Click the drop-down menu to select WEP to enable
the WEP function and select 64 bits or 128 bits.The
128 bits gives a higher level of security.The
selection must be the same between all connected
network devices. For 64-bit WEP key, it should be
five ASCII characters (a-z and 0-9, for example:
gear56) or ten hexadecimal digits in length (a
through f, and 0 through 9, for example:
2af30bc9d5); for 128 bit WEP key, the length will be
13 characters for ASCII or 26 digits for Hexadecimal.
WEP keys 1-4 enable you to create an encryption
scheme for wireless LAN transmissions.

WPA and WPA-PSK configuration
- WPA-PSK
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is a sub-set of the
forthcoming IEEE 802.11i security standard. WPA
addresses those known weakness of WEP and
provides stronger security to wireless network.
IOGEAR Wireless-G Broadband Router supports
three authentication modes:
• 802.11x (need RADIUS server to authenticate
the clients, using WEP keying)
• WPA (same 802.1x, but with TKIP keying
support);WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key, no
RADIUS server needed)

There are two ways to configure WPA Pre-Shared Key:
- WPA
1. PassPhrase Mode: Input a phrase into the field.
The Wireless-G Broadband Router will automati-
cally generate a Pre-Shared Key based on the
phrase you enter. The phrase can be within 8 to 63
characters (we recommend at least 12 characters
to achieve a sufficient level of security).
2. Hex mode: Input 64 hexadecimal digits. Please
write down the key you enter. You will need to enter
same key to your wireless client side.
WPA Group Rekey Interval
This router could change the group key periodically.
Enter the period you want into the WPA Group Rekey
Interval field.
EncryptionType
The current version only supports TKIP encryption.
AES encryption will be available soon.

RADIUS Server IP
To complete the WPA operation, you also need to enable the
WPA client at the wireless client site (the computer running
wireless client’s devices, such as the GWP511 Cardbus card
GWP512 Cardbus Card or GWU513 USB adaptor).
Please enter the IP address of RADIUS server
RADIUS Server Port
This field specifies the port on which RADIUS server
is listening.

RADIUS Server Key
This field carries the shared secret for RADIUS
authentication. Some information need to be
encrypted in a RADIUS packet, this key is used to
encrypt and decrypt this information (such as

Here you can configure Wireless radio settings.
Please note that these settings are for advanced users
or network administrators. If you are unfamiliar with
how to configure these parameters, we recommend
that you keep them at their default value.
Radio Setting
• Mode: The Wireless-G Broadband Router can be set
at three wireless modes: Auto, 802.11g only and
802.11b only. If both 802.11g and 802.11b clients
presenting at your network, please select “Auto”
mode (This is default mode).“802.11g only” mode
only supports 802.11g clients, and gives better
performance to whole network. However, all 802.11b
clients will not be able to use your network at this
mode setting. In some situation, 802.11b clients with
old drivers cannot work with Auto mode; “802.11b
only” mode can accommodate this problem, but
decrease the performance of 802.11g devices.

Configuration Utility
• Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by the
router to synchronize a wireless network.The value
of beacon interval is depending on the environment
where the router is operating. Specify a Beacon
interval value between 1 and 1000(units: ms).The
default value is set to 100 milliseconds, i.e., ten
beacons per second.
• DTIM Period: Enter a value between 1 and 255 for
the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A
DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next
window for listening to broadcast and multicast
messages.When the router has buffered broadcast
or multicast messages for associated clients, it
sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its
clients hear the beacons and awaken to receive
the broadcast and multicast messages.The default
value for DTIM interval is set to 1.
• RTSThreshold:The RTS threshold is the packet size
at which packet transmission is governed by the
RTS/CTS transaction. Each station can have a
different RTS threshold. If you encounter inconsistent
data flow, only minor modifications are recom-
mended.The default value for RTS Threshold is set
to 2347.
• FragmentThreshold:This value should remain at its
default setting of 2346. If you experience a high
packet error rate, you may modify slightly your
“Fragmentation” value within the value range of 800
to 2346. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may
result in poor performance.
