Router Password: Changing the password for the AP Router is as easy as typing the password into
the Enter New Password field. Then, type it again into the Re-enter to confirm.
* Click the Apply button to save the setting.
Use the default password when you first open the configuration pages, after you have configured
these settings, you should set a new password for the Router (using the Security screen). This will
increase security, protecting the Router from unauthorised changes.
VPN Pass-Through: Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for business-related
networking. For VPN tunnels, the Router supports IPSec Pass-Through, L2TP Pass-Through, and
PPTP Pass-Through.
• IPSec - Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure
exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the Router, IPSec
Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable IPSec Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to
IPSec.
• L2TP - Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is a protocol used to tunnel Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP)
over the Internet. To allow L2TP tunnels to pass through the Router, L2TP Pass-Through is
enabled by default. To disable L2TP Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to L2TP.
• PPTP - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol is the method used to enable VPN sessions to a
Windows NT 4.0 or 2000 server. To allow PPTP tunnels to pass through the Router, PPTP
Pass-Through is enabled by default. To disable PPTP Pass-Through, uncheck the box next to
PPTP.
