WAN Configuration
GN-B46B Wireless Broadba nd Router User Guide
Thi s page is the further configuration of the WAN connection. You can setup up to 4
WAN connection entries. E ach entry may has it’s own connection type (PPPoE, PP PoE
Unnumber , Dynamic IP address, Static IP address) and some other properties. For
example, when you click the “Edit” button of the ISP No.1 (WAN Type: D ynamic IP
Address) on the table then there will appear the screen as follows.
Click “Next”.

n ISP Name, Host Name, Gateway, DNS1 and DNS2 Address, DNS
Domain Name
Those i nformation are provided by your ISP company.
n MTU(Maximum Transmission Unit)
Thi s defines the maximum size of the packets sent from your computer
onto the network. Any messages larger than the MTU are divided into
smaller packets before being sent. Leave thi s on the default value(1500)
unless you have a particular reason to change it.
n NAT Setup
The I nternet is expanding at an exponential rate. As the amount of
information and resources increases, it is becoming a requirement for even
the smallest businesses and homes to connect to the Internet. Network
Address Translation (NAT) is a method of connecting multi ple computers
to the I nternet (or any other IP network) using one IP address. This allows
home users and small businesses to connect their network to the Internet
cheaply and efficiently.
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is an archi tecture for pervasive peer-topeer network connectivi ty of PCs and intelligent devices or appliances,
particularly within the home. UP nP builds on Internet standards and
technologies, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML, to enable these devices to
automatically connect wi th one another and work together to make
networking - particularly home networking - possi ble for more people.

Normal user please select “NAT enable” or “UPnP&NAT” then connect to the
Internet in general.
Verify the desi red setting and then click the “Finish” button to set the value into GN-B46B.
And then the screen will transfer to WAN configurati on setting page.
WAN Configuration Setting
There are four WAN configuration setti ng you may setup on WAN Confi guration page.
From thi s page, you can select which WAN Configurati on Setting you would like to use
now.
Verify the desired setting and then click the “Submit” button to set the value i nto GN-
B46B.

Those i nformation are provided by your ISP company.
n Authentication Type
You may choose between “Auto”, “CHAP” and “PAP”. The default is set
to “Auto”.
Challenge Handshake Authenticati on Protocol(CHAP). This is the
preferred method of authenti cation for PPP dialup links. With CHAP, the
server sends a challenge to which the remote router sends an encrypted
reply containi ng a secret key.
Password Authentication Protocol(PAP) is a simple authentication
protocol for PPP allowing a router to identify i tself with another router by
sendi ng a simple name and password combination. PAP is defined in
RFC1334.

Wirele ss Configuration
Thi s chapter will show you how to configure the wireless feature of your GN-B46B router.
802.11b
n Region
Because of the di fferent region has a different open channel regulation,
please check whether the default region value is your local area. If it did
not appear properly region please contact your local distributor or
authorized reseller immediately.
n HW info
The informati on of the Wireless Lan Card.
n RF Type
Only suppourt IEEE802.11b standard.
n Channel
Please choose the channel, which you can get best performance.
Normally, it doesn’t need to change. The default value is channel 6.
47
GN-B 46B Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
n SSID
The SSI D is the name represent the router in the wireless network. This
SSID stri ng is case sinsitive of up to 32 ASCII characters. The default
value is “GI GABYTE”, if the setup value is the default value, like “router”.
Only can accept the computer connection, whi ch use the wireless card
SSI D (or ESSID) set up, is “router”.
n Rate
You can select one of the rates among 1M, 2M, 5.5M and 11M based on
your need. The default value is “auto/best”.
n Hidden SSID
Thi s setting allows you to hide the SSID in wireless transmission. Those
who don’t know the SSID wi ll be able connect to the router. The default
value is “disable”.
n Authentication Type
You may choose between “Open System”, “Shared K ey”, and “Open
system & S hared Key”. The Authentication Type default is set to “Open
System”.
Open System, i n which the sender and the recipient do NOT share a
secret key. Each party generates i ts own key-pair and asks the receiver to
accept the randomly generated key. Once accepted, this key is used for a
short time only. Then a new key is generated and agreed upon.
Shared Key is both the sender and the reci pient share a secret key.
I f the “Shared Key” option is selected, it will not be able to perform the
option “disable” of the WEP.
n WEP Key
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a data privacy mechanism based on a
64/128-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the I EEE 802.1x
standard. When the “disable” is selected there is no WE P encryption.
When either “64bits” or “128bits” selected there is encrypted date transfer
to prevent unauthorized user to access the wireless network.
48
GN-B46B Wireless Broadba nd Router User Guide
There are two levels of encryption 64 bits and 128 bits. The 64 bits
encrypti on is referenced as a lower level encryption. The 128 bits
encrypti on is referenced as a higher level encryption.
64 (40) B its WEP Key: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
128 (104) bits WEP Key: xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx
The 64 bi ts WEP encryption use 40 bits as a secret key, which can
controlled by user , and 24 bits as the initialize vector, whi ch user can not
control. These two porti ons plus together is 64 bits encryption. Some other
vendor’s product might refer as 40 bits encryption. It is the same thing.
The 128 bits WEP encrypti on use 104 bits as a secret key, which can
controlled by user , and 24 bits as the initialize vector, whi ch user can not
control. These two porti ons plus together is 128 bits encryption. Some
other vendor’s product might refer as 104 bi ts encryption. It is the same
thing.
M AC Access Control
The MAC Access Control allows the router to define up to 32 hosts which are allowed to
access to the WAN port. To di sable the MAC Access Control function, keep the default
value, Disable. To set up a MAC setting, click Enable.

Static Routing Ta ble
Under some of I nternet environments, some of the subnet do not go through the default
gateway. Users can add those routing information to Stati c Routing Table themselves.
n Destination IP
The Destination IP address is the address of the network or host to which
the static route i s assigned.
n Netmask
The Netmask determines which portion of a destination LAN IP address is
the network portion, and which portion is the host porti on.
n Gateway
Thi s is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact
between the router and the network or host.
n Metric
Type a numeber between 1 and 15 as the Metric value. Thi s represents
the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually,
a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set is to 1. The
default value is 1.
Verify the desired setting and then click the “Submit” button to set the value i nto GN-
B46B.
