and downstream trac (outgoing and incoming network trac) for one section. In this column, you can set the network trac limit (in KB) for a specic service to generate specic priorities for the service assigned to a specic port. For example, if two network clients, PC 1 and PC 2, are both accessing the Internet (set at port 80), but PC 1 exceeds the network trac limit due to some downloading tasks, PC 1 will have a lower priority. If you do not want to set the trac limit, leave it blank.

5. On the User-dened Priority page, you can prioritize the network applications or devices into ve levels from the user-

dened QoS rules’ dropdown list. Based on priority level, you can use the following methods to send data packets:

• Change the order of upstream network packets that are sent to the Internet.

• Under Upload Bandwidth table, set Minimum Reserved Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth Limit for multiple network applications with dierent priority levels. The percentages indicate the upload bandwidth rates that are available for specied network applications.

NOTES:

• Low-priority packets are disregarded to ensure the transmission of high-priority packets.

• Under Download Bandwidth table, set Maximum Bandwidth Limit for multiple network applications in corresponding order. The higher priority upstream packet will cause the higher priority downstream packet.

• If there are no packets being sent from high-priority applications, the full transmission rate of the Internet connection is available for lowpriority packets.

6. Set the highest priority packet. To ensure a smooth online

gaming experience, you can set ACK, SYN, and ICMP as the highest priority packet.

NOTE: Ensure to enable QoS rst and set up the upload and download rate limits.

4.3 WAN

4.3.1 Internet Connection

The Internet Connection screen allows you to congure the settings of various WAN connection types.

To congure the WAN connection settings:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN > Internet Connection tab.

2. Congure the following settings below. When done, click

Apply.

• WAN Connection Type: Choose your Internet Service Provider type. The choices are Automatic IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP or xed IP. Consult your ISP if the router is unable

to obtain a valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN connection type.

• Enable WAN: Select Ye s to allow the router Internet access. Select No to disable Internet access.

• Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system

where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN. The private IP address of each network client is saved in a NAT table and is used to route incoming data packets.

• Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several

devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-based network with or without a central control through a gateway. UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless network for remote conguration and data transfer. Using UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically. Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely congured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming, video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port

forwarding, which involves manually conguring port settings, UPnP automatically congures the router to accept incoming connections and direct requests to a specic PC on the local network.

• Connect to DNS Server: Allows this router to get the DNS

IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names to numeric IP addresses.

• Authentication: This item may be specied by some ISPs.

Check with your ISP and ll them in if required.

• Host Name: This eld allows you to provide a host name for

your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP. If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the host name here.

• MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address is a unique identier for your networking device. Some ISPs monitor the MAC address of networking devices that connect to their service and reject any unrecognized device that attempt to connect. To avoid connection issues due to an unregistered MAC address, you can:

• Contact your ISP and update the MAC address associated with your ISP service.

• Clone or change the MAC address of the ASUS wireless router to match the MAC address of the previous networking device recognized by the ISP.

4.3.2 Port Trigger

Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port for a limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network makes an outgoing connection to a specied port. Port triggering is used in the following scenarios:

• More than one local client needs port forwarding for the same application at a dierent time.

• An application requires specic incoming ports that are dierent from the outgoing ports.

To set up Port Trigger:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN > Port Trigger tab.

2. Congure the following settings below. When done, click

Apply.

• Enable Port Trigger: Choose Yes to enable Port Trigger.

• Well-Known Applications: Select popular games and web

services to add to the Port Trigger List.

• Description: Enter a short name or description for the service.

• Trigger Port: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming

port.

• Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.

• Incoming Port: Specify an incoming port to receive inbound

data from the Internet.

NOTES:

• When connecting to an IRC server, a client PC makes an outgoing connection using the trigger port range 66660-7000. The IRC server responds by verifying the username and creating a new connection to the client PC using an incoming port.

• If Port Trigger is disabled, the router drops the connection because it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for IRC access. When Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an incoming port to receive the inbound data. This incoming port closes once a specic time period has elapsed because the router is unsure when the application has been terminated.

• Port triggering only allows one client in the network to use a particular service and a specic incoming port at the same time.

• You cannot use the same application to trigger a port in more than one PC at the same time. The router will only forward the port back to the last computer to send the router a request/trigger.

4.3.3 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding

Port forwarding is a method to direct network trac from the Internet to a specic port or a specic range of ports to a device or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to access specic services provided by a PC in your network.

NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks unsolicited inbound trac from the Internet and only allows replies from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.

To set up Port Forwarding:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN > Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.

2. Slide the bar to ON to enable Port Forwarding, then click Add Prole. After conguring the following settings, click OK.

• Famous Server List: Determine which type of service you

want to access.

• Famous Game List: This item lists ports required for popular

online games to work correctly.

• Service Name: Enter a service name.

• Protocol: Select the protocol. If you are unsure, select BOTH.

• External Port: Accept the following formats:

1) A port range using a colon “:” in the middle to specify the

upper and lower limits of the range, such as 300:350;

2) Individual port numbers using a comma “,” to separate

them, such as 566, 789;

3) A Mix of port ranges and individual ports, using colons “:”

and commas “,”, such as 1015:1024, 3021.

• Internal Port: Enter a specic port to receive forwarded

packets. Leave this eld blank if you want the incoming packets to be redirected to the specied port range.

• Internal IP Address: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.

• Source IP: If you want to open your port to a specic IP

address from the Internet, input the IP address you want to give access to in this eld.

NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port forwarding work properly. Refer to section 4.2 LAN for information.

To check if Port Forwarding has been congured successfully:

• Ensure that your server or application is set up and running.

• You will need a client outside your LAN but has Internet access (referred to as “Internet client”). This client should not be connected to the ASUS router.

• On the Internet client, use the router’s WAN IP to access the server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be able to access the les or applications.

Dierences between port trigger and port forwarding:

• Port triggering will work even without setting up a specic LAN IP address. Unlike port forwarding, which requires a static LAN IP address, port triggering allows dynamic port forwarding using the router. Predetermined port ranges are congured to accept incoming connections for a limited period of time. Port triggering allows multiple computers to run applications that would normally require manually forwarding the same ports to each PC on the network.

• Port triggering is more secure than port forwarding since the incoming ports are not open all the time. They are opened only when an application is making an outgoing connection through the trigger port.

4.3.4 DMZ

Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area Network.

Inbound trac from the Internet is usually discarded and routed to a specic client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has been congured on the network. In a DMZ conguration, one network client receives all inbound packets.

Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server.

CAUTION: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes the network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the security risks involved in using DMZ.

To set up DMZ:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN > DMZ tab.

2. Congure the setting below. When done, click Apply.

• IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP

address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP address.

To remove DMZ:

1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of Exposed Station text box.

2. When done, click Apply.

4.3.5 DDNS

Setting up DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows you to access the router from outside your network through the provided ASUS DDNS Service or another DDNS service.

To set up DDNS:

1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN > DDNS tab.

2. Congure the following settings below. When done, click Apply.

• Enable the DDNS Client: Enable DDNS to access the ASUS

router via the DNS name rather than WAN IP address.

• Server and Host Name: Choose ASUS DDNS or other DDNS.

If you want to use ASUS DDNS, ll in the Host Name in the format of xxx.asuscomm.com (xxx is your host name).

• If you want to use a dierent DDNS service, click FREE TRIAL and register online rst. Fill in the User Name or E-mail Address and Password or DDNS Key elds.

• Enable wildcard: Enable wildcard if your DDNS service

requires one.

NOTES:

DDNS service will not work under these conditions:

• When the wireless router is using a private WAN IP address (192.168. x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x), as indicated by a yellow text.

• The router may be on a network that uses multiple NAT tables.

4.3.6 NAT Passthrough

Licensing information

This product includes copyrighted third-party software licensed under the terms of the GNU General Public License. Please see The GNU General Public License for the exact terms and conditions of this license. All future rmware updates will also be accompanied with their respective source code. Please visit our web site for updated information. Note that we do not oer direct support for the distribution.

GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE

Version 2, June 1991

59 Temple Place, Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307 USA

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

Preamble

The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public License is intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users. This General Public License applies to most of the Free Software Foundation’s software and to any other program whose authors commit to using it. (Some other Free Software Foundation software is covered by the GNU Library General Public License instead.) You can apply it to your programs, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or

can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.

For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software, and (2) oer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the software.

Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free software. If the software is modied by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will not reect on the original authors’ reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free program will individually obtain patent licenses, in eect making the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not licensed at all.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modication follow.

Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modication

0. This License applies to any program or other work which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.

The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modications and/or translated into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term “modication”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are

not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Program (independent of having been made by running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what the Program does.

1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the Program a copy of this License along with the Program.

You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a

copy, and you may at your option oer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.

2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and copy and distribute such modications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent

notices stating that you changed the les and the date of any change.

b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that

in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

c) If the modied program normally reads commands

interactively when run, you must cause it, when started

running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to print or display an announcement including an appropriate copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may redistribute

the program under these conditions, and telling the user how

to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such an announcement, your work based on the Program is not required to print an announcement.)

These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole.

If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest

your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Program.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on

the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one of the following:

a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-

readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

b) Accompany it with a written oer, valid for at least three

years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange; or,

c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the oer

to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you received the program in object code or executable form with such an oer, in accord with Subsection b above.)

The source code for a work means the preferred form of

the work for making modications to it. For an executable work, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the executable. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

If distribution of executable or object code is made by

oering access to copy from a designated place, then oering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place counts as distribution of the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.

5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have

not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.

Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any

work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based on it.

6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.

7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable

under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe

any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system, which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance

on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/ donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is

believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Program under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.

9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may dier in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the

Program species a version number of this License which applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Program does not specify a version number of this License, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free programs whose distribution conditions are dierent, write to the author to ask for permission.

For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software

Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

NO WARRANTY

11 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,

THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.

12 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR

AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
