Connect to GWN7000’s Web GUI from a computer connected to a LAN port and go to RouterPort page
for Port configuration.
WAN Ports Settings
The GWN7000 has 2 WAN ports configured as DHCP clients by default. Each port can be connected with
DSL modem or routers.
WAN ports support also setting static IPv4/IPv6 addresses, and configure PPPoE for each WAN port.
Please refer to the following table for basic network configuration parameters on WAN ports for GWN7000.
Table 5: GWN7000 WEB GUIRouterPortWAN Port (1,2)

Choose whether to enable or disable the WAN port.
WAN Address Type
Select "DHCP", "Static" or "PPPoE" mode on the WAN interfaces of GWN7000.
The default setting is "DHCP".
• DHCP
When selected, it will act as a DHCP client and acquire an IPv4 address
automatically from the DHCP server.
• Static
When selected, the user should set a static IPv4 address, Subnet Mask, IPv4
Gateway and adding Additional IPv4 Addresses as well.
• PPPoE
When selected, the user should set the PPPoE account and password,
PPPoE Keep alive interval and Inter-Key Timeout (in seconds).
Preferred IPv4 DNS

GWN7000 will use it in when the Preferred DNS fails.
Native IPv6
Used to enable assigning IPv6 address to GWN7000.
Once checked users will be able to configure following fields: “IPv6 Address
Assignment”, “Preferred IPv6 DNS”, “Alternate IPv6 DNS” and “IPv6 Relay to
LAN”.
IPv6 Address
Assignment
This option is appearing when enabling “Native IPv6” option.
Select "Auto" to get an IPv6 address from DHCP server or "Static" to configure
manually an IPv6 address. If set to Static, the following fields should be
configured:

When enabled the GWN7000 will relay IPv6 address to LAN clients
Multi-WAN
These options are used when both WAN ports are enabled and using Failover
feature:
• Tracking IP
Configures the tracking IP(s). ICMP packets are being used to track the IP(s)
address(es). When the tracking fails, the GWN7000 will use the secondary
WAN port as failover. Default IP used is 8.8.8.8.

QoS
The GWN7000 offers the possibility to enable and configure QoS on both WAN and LAN interfaces, this
will help to manage in more depth the network traffic to define priority and classify different services and
protocols in a scheduled manner.
Figure 11: QoS
To activate QoS, check “Enable QoS”. Three tabs are available for configuration:
• Basic: Download and upload bandwidth speeds settings on each WAN interface.
• Upstream QoS: Upstream QoS allows creating Traffic Classes to prioritize traffic for specific
resources on the network by controlling transmission/upload rate. Note that different classes can be
created and assigned as Traffic filters by respecting following conditions:
✓ The total of Upstream bandwidth values of each created class should not exceed the
upstream bandwidth value configured in Basic.
✓ The remaining bandwidth will be lent to the next priority level of class.
✓ All filter options are summed together.
• Policer: While Upstream QoS is dealing with traffic transmission, Policer is controlling the incoming
traffic. Thus, allowing to create rules to specific targets to set priority and received traffic rate, giving
the GWN7000 the ability to drop the exceeding traffic when reaching the configured maximum rate.
Refer to the following tables for each tab option:
Table 13: QoS Basic
Enabled
Check to enable upstream and downstream bandwidth speeds for the selected
WAN interface.
Upstream
Set the Upstream value to specify the upload bandwidth for selected interface, the
P a g e | 30
GWN7000 User Manual
value should end with Mbit, Kbit or with no unit if the set value is referring to “bit”
unit.
Note that the set value will affect and limit the bandwidth values on created
classes on QoS Upstream.
Examples: 500Mbit
100Kbit
500
Downstream
Set the Downstream value to specify the download bandwidth speed for selected
interface, the value should end with “Mbit”, “Kbit” or with no unit if the set value is
referring to “bit” unit.
Examples: 1000Mbit
100Kbit
500

Upstream
Set Upstream bandwidth value. The value should end with “Mbit”, “Kbit” or with no

Note that the sum of created classes should have upstream bandwidth speeds
lower than the Upstream bandwidth value configured on QoS Basic.
