6.1 Wireless Settings
The router’s internal wireless radios broadcast signals in the 2.4GHz and 5GHz range. By
default, they are on so that you can connect wirelessly to the router. When the wireless
radios are off, you can still use an Ethernet cable for a LAN connection to the router.
English

20
 ASRock G10 Gaming Router

6.1.1 Wireless
Wireless - 2.4G/5G

• Enable Radio: Enable or disable wireless radios. By default, the radios are “on”. If you
turn off the wireless radios, you can’t log in to the router.

• Wireless On/Off Schedule: You can specify which days of the week wireless
networking are enabled

• Wireless Channel: You can change your WiFi router channel to optimize your
wireless signal. If you are not sure how to pick the right channel, keep the default
“Auto”.

• Wireless SSID: The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a name used to connect to a
wireless network so you can identify your network.

• Wireless Mode: By default, the wireless mode is set to “Auto”. 802.11ac, 802.11n,
802.11g and 802.11b devices are allowed to be connected to the wireless router.

• CTS Protection: Clear to send (CTS) Protection mode is a wireless setting that
ensures computers on a network can connect to a wireless router when many
communications devices are present. When an 802.11b and an 802.11g device are
both connected to the access point, set the CTS Protection to "ON" (Default). Since
an 802.11b device is unable to detect when an 802.11g device is transmitting, CTS
protection ensures that each device takes turns transmitting in order to avoid
collisions. If the wireless devices connected to the access point are either all 802.11b
or all 802.11g, set the CTS protection to "OFF".
English

• Bandwidth: For best performance in a 2.4GHz network using wireless-B, wireless-G

and wireless-N devices, keep the default, “20/40”. For a bandwidth of 20MHz,
select 20MHz only. For the best performance in a 5GHz network, keep the default

21
 20/40/80MHz.

• Broadcast SSID: When wireless clients survey the local area for wireless networks
to associate with, they will detect the SSID broadcast by the router. Keep the default
“ON” to broadcast the router’s SSID. Select “OFF” if you do not want to broadcast the
router’s SSID.

• Preamble Type: By default, the preamble type is set to "Auto". Select "Short" for a busy
wireless network with high network traffic. Select "Long" if your wireless network is
composed of older or legacy wireless devices.

• RTS Threshold: Adjusts the size of RTS (Request to Send) data packets. By default,
the RTS value is 2347. Lower values reduce throughput, but allow the system to
recover quicker from interference or collisions. Higher values provide the fastest
throughput.

• DTIM Interval: The Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM) interval helps
routers to broadcast wireless traffic to multiple hosts with greater efficiency. DTIM
interval or Data beacon rate is the time interval before a signal is sent to a wireless
device in sleep mode indicating that a data packet is awaiting delivery. The default
value is 3 milliseconds.

• TX Power Adjustment: TX power adjustment refers to the milliwatts (mW) needed to

power the radio signal output of the wireless router.

• WMM Function: Prioritizes multimedia data over the wireless network.

Wireless Security

• Authentication Method: Select an Authentication method for the wireless network.

• Password: Enter a password for protecting your wireless network.

Radius Server
RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service) authenticates the local and remote
users on a network. The RADIUS server is identified by its IP address and UDP port
numbers for the different services it provides.

• IP: Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server.

• Port: Make sure that the port number RADIUS uses for authentication appears in

6.3 Internet Settings

You can view or configure Wide Area Network (WAN) settings for the internet port. You
can set up a demilitarized zone (DMZ) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU)
size, and so on.

6.3.1 Internet

• Connection Type: Choose your internet service provider type. Options include:
Dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPPoA, L2TP, and PPTP.

• WAN IP: By default, the IP address is acquired from your ISP automatically.

• WAN DNS: By default, the DNS address is acquired from your ISP automatically.

• MTU Value: The Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) defines the largest size of packets
that an interface can transmit without the need to fragment. Change the MTU value
only when it is necessary for your ISP connection.
English

• MAC Clone: The Router can use a MAC (Media Access Control) address that you
define as its own. This is often used when an internet provider only authorizes one
MAC address to access the internet.

Press "Apply" to save the settings and reboot the router.

27
 6.3.2 Port Trigger
Some internet applications use alternate ports to communicate between the server and
LAN host. When you want to use these applications, enter the triggering (outgoing) port
and alternate incoming port in the port triggering table. Then the router will forward the
incoming packets to the specified LAN host.

• Service: Enable Port Trigger and add a service.

• Trigger Port: Enter the port number for the service.

• Incoming Port: Enter the starting and ending port numbers of the trigger port range.

• TCP/UDP: Choose the protocol.

• : Add a service.

6.3.3 Port Forwarding

You may use this function to establish a web server or FTP server via an IP gateway. Make
sure that you enter a valid IP address. (You may need to establish a static IP address in
order to properly run an internet server.) For added security, internet users will be able
to communicate with the server, but they will not actually be connected. The packets will
simply be forwarded through the router.

• Service: Enable Port Forwarding and add a service.

English

• Port Range: Enter the port range.

• Local IP: Enter the LAN IP address of the server that you want the internet users to
access.

28
 ASRock G10 Gaming Router

• Local Port: Enter a specific port to receive forwarded packets.

• TCP/UDP: Choose the required protocol.

• : Add a service.

6.3.4 DMZ
The router is programmed to recognize some of the applications and to work correctly
with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local
computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered
as the default DMZ server. Using DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) can eliminate the need to
specify many individual port forwarding rules. However, by exposing all the ports on the
local device, the local device may become more susceptible to attacks.

WARNING:
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designed as the default DMZ server loses
much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the internet. If
compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your
networks.

• Host IP Address: Enable DMZ and select an IP address.

6.3.5 DDNS
Setting up DDNS allows you to access the router from outside your network through the
DDNS service.
English

29
 • Service Provider: Enable DDNS and choose a service provider for DDNS.

• Host Name: Enter the host name.

• User Name: Enter the user name for your account.

• Password: Enter the password for your DDNS account.

Press "Apply" to save the settings and reboot the router.

 Chapter 8 Troubleshooting
This section describes tips for troubleshooting some common problems.

8.1 How to Restart Your Network

When you need to restart your network, follow this sequence:
1. Turn off and unplug the modem.
2. Turn off the router
3. Plug in the modem and turn it on.
4. Turn on the router and wait.

8.2 Wireless Settings

Make sure that the wireless settings on the computer and router match exactly. The
wireless network name (SSID) and wireless security settings of the router and wireless
computer must match exactly.

If you set up an access list in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, you must add each
wireless computer’s MAC address to the router’s access list.

8.3 Standard LED Behavior When the Router Is Powered On

8.4 Unable Log In to the Router

If you cannot log in to the router from a computer or wireless devices on your local
network, please check the following:

• If you use an Ethernet connected computer, check if the Ethernet connection between
the computer and the router is working.
• If you use a wireless connected computer or wireless devices, check if the wireless
SSID connection between computer and wireless devices are working.
• If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address,
clear the router’s configuration to factory default. This sets the router’s IP address to
192.168.1.1.
• Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The default user name is
"admin", and the default password is "admin". Make sure that Caps Lock is off when
you enter this information.

8.5 Unable Access the Internet

If you can access your router but not the internet, check to see if the router can obtain an
IP address from your internet service provider (ISP). Unless your ISP provides a fixed IP
address, your router requests an IP address from the ISP.

To check the WAN IP address:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2. Select an external site such as www.asrock.com.tw.
3. Type asrock.router or 192.168.1.1. A login screen should appear.
4. Enter the router’s user name and password. The default user name is "admin", and the
default password is "admin".
5. Press ADVANCED > Next button. The ADVANCED home screen should appear.
6. Check if a valid IP address is shown for the internet port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, it means
your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP. If your router cannot
obtain an IP address from the ISP, you may need to force your cable or DSL modem
to recognize your new router by restarting your network.

If your router is still unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be one
of the following:
English

• Your internet service provider (ISP) might require a login program.

• If your ISP requires a login, the login name and password might be set incorrectly.
• Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name.
• If your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to internet and checks

49
 for your computer’s MAC address, do one of the following:

- Inform your ISP that you bought a new network device and ask them to use the
router’s MAC address.
- Configure your router to clone your computer’s MAC address.

8.6 Wireless Connectivity

If you are having trouble to connect wireless to the router, try to isolate the problem:

Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?

• If you disable the router’s SSID broadcast, then your wireless network will be
hidden and will not be displayed in your wireless client’s scanning list.

• If not, check the dashboard Wi-Fi on/off button from the Web GUI. If it is
off, you can press the Wi-Fi on/off button on the dashboard to turn the router
wireless radios back on.

If your wireless device finds your network but the signal strength is weak, check
these conditions:

• Is your router too far from your computer or too close? Place your computer
near the router but at least 6 feet away and see whether the signal strength
improves.

8.7 Restore to the factory default settings

You can return the router to its factory settings. Use the end of a paper clip or a
similar object to press and hold the Reset button on the back of the router for at
least ten seconds.

Go to Advanced > Administration > Restore/Save, and press "Restore".
