2. Connect all your computers and network devices (network-enabled components like game consoles, network media players, network storage units or LAN switches) to the LAN ports (1-4) of the router.

3. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, then connect it to the power jack of the router.

4. Check all LEDs on the front panel. The PWR LED should be on, and the WAN and LAN LEDs should be on if the computer or network device connected to the corresponding router port(s) is powered on and correctly connected.

2.2 Obtaining an IP Address

Before you can connect to the router and start conguration procedures, your computer must be able to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, to use a dynamic IP address). This is the default setup

for any standard Windows computer, and it normally is not required to make any changes.

1. With your computer connected to a LAN port on the router, activate the network connection. Start your Web browser and open http://192.168.2.1 to display a login window (right).

2. Enter “admin” as the username and “1234” as the password, then click “OK.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

NOTE: If this procedure is successful, skip the following subsections and proceed to 2.3 Using Quick Setup. If the above procedure doesn’t result in your obtaining

an IP address, or if you know that your computer has a static IP address setup,

follow the steps in the appropriate subsection below.

2.2.1 Windows XP IP Address Setup

1. Click “Start,” then go to the control panel. Double-click the Network & Internet Connections icon, then click “Network Connections” and double-click “Local Area Connection” to display the Local Area Connection Properties window. Click “Properties.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically,” then click “OK.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.2.2 Windows Vista/7 IP Address Setup

1. Click “Start,” then go to the control panel. Click “View Network Status and Tasks,” then click “Manage Network Connections.” Right-click “Local Area Network,” then select “Properties.” With the Local Area Connection Properties window displayed, select “Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP / IPv4),” and click “Properties.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2. Select “Obtain an IP address automatically” and “Obtain DNS server address automatically,” then click “OK.”

2.2.3 Router IP Address Lookup

1. After the IP address is set up, click “Start” at the bottom-left of the desktop, then click “Run.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2. With the Run window displayed, enter “cmd” in the “Open:” text eld, then click “OK.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

3. Enter “ipcong,” then press <Enter>. The IP address displays, followed by the default gateway. In the example below, the IP address of the router is

192.168. 2 .1.

NOTE: If the IP address of the gateway is not displayed, or if the address begins

with 169, recheck the network connection between your computer and the router, and recheck each step of the network setup procedure.

4. Once your computer has obtained an IP address from the router, open your Web browser and enter the IP address of the router into the address bar. When the

password (“1234”). Press “OK” to display the router’s Web management interface.

NOTE: If you can’t see the Web management interface and you’re being prompted to enter the username and password again, it means you didn’t enter the correct username and password. Retype the username and password. If you’re certain

that the username and password are correct, refer to 4-2 Troubleshooting to perform a factory reset to set the password back to the default value.

TIP: This page (see 2.3 Quick Setup below) shows the four primary setting

categories: QuickSetup, General Setup, Status and Tools. You can jump to

another menu category directly by clicking the link at the top-right of each screen.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.3 Quick Setup

The Quick Setup procedure lets you congure all the settings required for quick Internet access.

The initial Quick Setup screen presents time settings.

Set Time Zone — Use the drop-down menu to select your time zone. Time Server Address — Enter the IP address/hostname of the time server. This

isn’t normally required, but if the default time server (NTP) should go ofine, you can obtain a new NTP server from the list at http://www.ntp.org.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

Daylight Saving — If your locale uses Daylight Saving, activate “Enable Function” and select the duration using the drop-down menus.

Click “Next” to continue to the next screen of the Quick Setup procedure, where

you select the broadband (Internet connection) type you use.

On all screens, click “Apply” (if such button appears at the bottom) to submit any

option or conguration changes. Click “Back” to return to the previous screen. Click “Cancel” to undo any changes you’ve made on that screen. Click “Next” or

“OK” to proceed to the next screen.

There are six types of Internet connections available, as explained below: Cable Modem, Fixed IP xDSL, PPPoE xDSL, PPTP xDSL, L2TP xDSL and Telstra BigPond. Cable Modem and PPPoE xDSL are the most common, but if you’re not

sure which type of service you have, simply contact your Internet service provider (ISP) to nd out. You won’t be able to connect to the Internet if you choose the wrong type during the router setup. NOTE: DSL Internet service providers

normally operate using the PPPoE protocol; thus, PPPoE xDSL should be the broadband type. However, in recent years more DSL ISPs provide customers with DSL modems that handle the PPPoE portion of Internet access automatically. In such cases, you need to select Cable Modem as your broadband type even if you

have a DSL service.

2.3.1 Setup Procedure for Cable Modem (Dynamic IP)

Host Name — Input the host name of your computer. This is optional, and is only

required if your service provider asks you to do so.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

MAC address — Enter the MAC address of your computer here if your service provider only permits a computer with a certain MAC address to access the Internet. If you’re using a computer used to connect to the Internet via cable modem, you can simply click “Clone Mac address” to ll in the MAC address eld with the MAC address of your computer.

2.3.2 Setup Procedure for Fixed IP xDSL (Static IP)

IP address — Enter the IP address assigned by your ISP. Subnet Mask — Enter the subnet mask assigned by your ISP. DNS address — Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP. Service Provider Gateway Address — Enter the gateway IP address provided by

your ISP. NOTE: You can choose this Internet connection method if your service provider assigns a xed IP address (also know as a static address) to you, and doesn’t use DHCP or PPPoE protocol. Contact your service provider for further information.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.3.3 Setup Procedure for PPPoE xDSL

User Name — Enter the username assigned by your ISP. Password — Enter the password assigned by your ISP. Service Name — Provide a name for this Internet service. (optional) MTU — Enter the MTU value of your network connection. NOTE: Use the default

value unless your ISP species otherwise.

Connection Type — Select one of the three connection types in the drop-down menu:

• “Continuous” keeps the Internet connection alive and does not disconnect. This is the preferred choice for always-on / at-rate Internet services.

• “Connect on Demand” only connects to the Internet when there’s a connect attempt. This is the preferred choice for all users who have paid-per-minute or per-transferred-data Internet service.

• “Manual” only connects to the Internet when “Connect” is selected, and disconnects when “Disconnect” is selected. Idle Time Out — Specify the time to shut down the Internet connection after no Internet activity is detected. This option is only available when the connection

type is Connect on Demand.

2.3.4 Setup Procedure for PPTP xDSL

PPTP xDSL requires two groups of settings: the WAN interface settings (to set up IP address) and PPTP settings (PPTP username and password).

In the WAN Interface Settings panel, select how you obtain an IP address from your service provider: “Obtain an IP address automatically” or “Use the following IP address” (i.e., a static IP address). The WAN interface settings must be

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

correctly entered; otherwise, the Internet connection will fail even if the PPTP settings are correct. Contact your ISP if you don’t know how you should ll in these elds.

The PPTP Settings panel presents these options:

User Name — Enter the username assigned by your ISP. Password — Enter the password provided by your ISP. PPTP Gateway — Enter the IP address of PPTP gateway assigned by your ISP. Connection ID — Enter the connection ID. (optional) MTU — Enter the MTU value of your network connection. NOTE: Use the default

value unless your ISP species otherwise.

Connection Type — Select one of the three connection types in the drop-down

menu (see PPPoE above):

Idle Time Out — Specify the time to shut down the Internet connection after no Internet activity is detected. This option is only available when the connection

type is Connect on Demand.

NOTE: Enable BEZEQ-ISRAEL only if you’re using that network provider.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.3.5 Setup Procedure for L2TP xDSL

L2TP is another popular connection method for xDSL and other Internet connection types, and all required setting items are the same as the PPTP connection (see

section 2.3.4 above).

2.3.6 Setup Procedure for Telstra BigPond

This procedure is only for the Telstra BigPond network service in Australia.

User Name — Enter the username assigned by Telstra. Password — Enter the password assigned by Telstra. Assign login server manually — Select to choose the login server by yourself. Server IP Address — Enter the IP address of the login server.

When all settings are

nished (and after you click “OK”), you’ll see

this message (right) on your Web browser.

Click “Apply” to restart the router. You’ll see a second

restart message (right).

Wait for about 30 seconds, then click “OK.” You’ll be forwarded to the router’s Web management interface. The router is now running with the new settings, and, if all information entered is correct, you can now access the Internet.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

NOTE TO DSL USERS

While PPPoE is the most common way to connect to DSL Internet service, it still may be necessary to enable “Cable Modem” in the Broadband settings. Below are examples for using Cable Modem instead of xDSL PPPoE, even if your Internet

service is a DSL service.

• Your ISP has given you a so-called “modem-router” instead of a simple modem.

• Your ISP has not given you a username and password for PPPoE login (implying that it is not required).

• When your computer is connected directly to the modem, the computer obtains an IP address which is in the private IP network range (192.168.xxx.yyy, 10.xxx.yyy,

172.16.xxx.yyy).

• You can connect to the Internet with your computer connected directly to the modem without using a dialer program asking for a username and password.

• If attempts to utilize PPPoE xDSL fail repeatedly, you should activate “Cable Modem” as a troubleshooting step.

2.4 General Setup

This section explains how to change the time zone, password and remote

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

management settings. Start your Web browser and log on to the router’s Web

management interface by opening http://192.168.2.1, then click the “General Setup” button on the left.

2.4.1 Time Zone and Time Auto-Synchronization

Click the “System” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click “Time Zone.” You’ll be prompted to select a time zone from the “Set time zone” drop-down menu and enter the IP address or host name of the time server. If you want to enable the Daylight Saving setting, check the “Enable Function” box and

set the duration of Daylight Saving.

Click “Apply” and this message will display. Click “Continue” to save the settings and make additional changes; click “Apply” to save the settings and restart the router so the settings will take effect after it reboots.

2.4.2 Changing the Management Password

The default password of this router is 1234, and it’s displayed on the login prompt when accessed from the Web browser. There’s a security risk if you don’t change

the default password, since everyone can see it. This is very important when you have the wireless function enabled. To change the password, click the “System”

menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click “Password

Settings.”

Current Password — Enter the current password (for example, 1234). New Password — Enter the new password.

Conrm Password — Enter the new password again.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

If the passwords entered in the “New

Password” and “Conrmed Password” elds aren’t the same, you’ll see the

message at right. Re-enter the new password.

If you see the error message at right, it

means the content in the “Current Password” eld is wrong. Click “OK” to go back to the

previous menu, and try entering the current password again. If the current and

new passwords are correctly entered, click “Apply” and you’ll be prompted to log in

again. Enter the new password and enter “admin” for the username.

2.4.3 Remote Management

This router by default does not allow management access from the Internet to

prevent possible security risks (especially when you have dened a weak password or didn’t change the default password). However, you can still manage this router from a specic IP address by enabling the Remote Management function.

Click the “System” menu on the left of Web management interface, then click

“Remote Management.” The screen below will display on your Web browser.

Host Address — Enter the IP address of the remote host you want to initiate management access..

Port — You can dene the port number through which this router should expect an incoming request. If you’re providing a Web service (default port number is 80), you should try to use another port number. You can use the default port setting

(8080) or something like 32245 or 1429 (any integer between 1 and 65534)..

Enabled — Select the eld to start the conguration.

Click “Apply,” then either click “Continue” to save the settings and make additional

changes or click “Apply” again to save the settings and restart the router so the settings will take effect after it reboots.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

NOTE: To manage this router from another computer on the Internet, you need to

input the IP address and port number of this router. If your Internet service provider assigns you a static IP address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your

service provider assigns will vary every time you establish an Internet connection, this will be a problem. Either ask your ISP to give you a static IP address, or use a dynamic DNS service like DDNS. (See section 2.5.8 DDNS Client for details.)

NOTE: The default por t number the Web browser will use is 80. If the “Port” setting

on this page is not 80, you need to assign the port number in the address bar of the Web browser manually. For example, if the IP address of this router is 1.2.3.4, and the port number you set is 8888, you need to enter http://1.2.3.4:8888 in the address bar of the Web browser.

2.5 Setting Up an Internet Connection (WAN Setup)

The Internet connection setup can be done by using the Quick Setup menu described in section 2-3. However, you can set the WAN connections up by using the WAN conguration menu. You can also program advanced functions like DDNS (Dynamic DNS) here.

Click the “WAN” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then select an Internet connection method based on the type of connection you’re using. You

can either click the connection method in the left-side menu or select it from the

main panel in the center (which requires that you then click “More Conguration”

to continue).

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.5.1 Setup Procedure for Dynamic IP

Host Name — Enter the host name of your computer. (This is optional and is only

required if your service provider asks you to do so.)

MAC Address — Enter the MAC address of your computer if your service provider only permits a computer with a certain MAC address to access the Internet. If you’re using the computer to connect to the Internet via cable modem, you can simply click “Clone MAC” to ll the “MAC Address” eld with the MAC address

of your computer.

2.5.2 Setup Procedure for Static IP

IP Address — Enter the IP address assigned by your service provider. Subnet Mask — Enter the subnet mask assigned by your service provider. Default Gateway — Enter the IP address of the gateway server assigned by your

service provider.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.5.3 Setup Procedure for PPPoE

User Name — Enter the username assigned by your Internet service provider. Password — Enter the password assigned by your Internet service provider. Service Name — Enter a name for this Internet service. (optional) MTU — Enter the MTU value of your network connection. NOTE: Use the default

value unless your ISP species otherwise.

Connection Type — Select one of the three connection types in the drop-down menu:

• “Continuous” keeps the Internet connection alive and does not disconnect. This is the preferred choice for always-on / at-rate Internet services.

type is Connect on Demand.

2.5.4 Setup Procedure for PPTP

Connection Type — Select one of the three connection types in the drop-down

menu (see PPPoE above):

Idle Time Out — Specify the time to shut down the Internet connection after no Internet activity is detected. This option is only available when the connection

type is Connect on Demand.

NOTE: Enable BEZEQ-ISRAEL only if you’re using that network provider.

2.5.5 Setup Procedure for L2TP

L2TP settings are the same as the PPTP connection (see section 2.5.4 above).

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.5.6 Setup Procedure for Telstra BigPond

This procedure is only for the Telstra BigPond network service in Australia.

2.5.7 Setup Procedure for DNS

If you select Dynamic IP or PPPoE as the Internet connection method, the ISP

typically assigns the DNS server information to the router. However, if you have a

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

preferred DNS server or use a static IP address, or if your service provider didn’t assign the IP address of the DNS server for any reason, you can input the IP

address of the DNS server here.

Primary DNS — Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP. Secondary DNS — Enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server provided

by your ISP. (optional) NOTE: Only an IP address can be entered here; do not use the hostname of the DNS server! (Only numeric characters and periods are accepted; for example,

10.20.30.40 would be acceptable, but dns.serviceprovider.com would not be.)

2.5.8 Setup Procedure for DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is an IP-to-hostname mapping service for Internet users who don’t have a static (xed) IP address. It will be a problem when a user wants to provide services to other users on the Internet because their IP addresses will vary every time they connect, and they will not be able to know the IP address they’re

using at any certain time.

This router supports the DDNS service of several service providers; for example: DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org) and TZO (http://www.tzo.com). You can go to one of these DDNS service provider’s Web sites and get a free DDNS account by

following their instructions.

Dynamic DNS — Select “Enable” or “Disable.” Provider — Select your DDNS provider from the drop-down menu. Domain Name — Enter the domain name you’ve obtained from the DDNS service

provider.

Account — Enter the user account of your DDNS registration. Password/Key — Enter the DDNS service password or key.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.5.9 Setup Procedure for WISP (Wireless ISP)



Wireless Internet service providers (WISPs) are Internet service providers with networks built around wireless networking. Typically, WISPs are found in rural areas

with small populations, where cable and digital subscriber lines are not available.

The Intellinet Wireless 300N Dual-Band Router can receive a 2.4 or 5.0 GHz WiFibased WISP signal and can share it among the clients, which are connected locally,

pretty much the same way it does with cable or DSL connections. This function can also be used if a wireless signal (from a wireless router, for example) is already present in the location, but you want to create another network behind the Intellinet Dual-Band Router. NOTE: If you do not understand any of this or if you don’t believe you need to take advantage of this feature, you can safely skip to the next chapter.

Disable — By default, the WISP mode is deactivated until you enable it. Enable — Click to enable the function. Select the wireless band and click “Site

Survey” to search for wireless signals that offer Internet service. In this mode, the Intellinet Dual-Band Router uses its wireless function to pick up the wireless ISP signal and, at the same time, allow wireless clients to connect and go online. Enable (Station Mode Only) — This is similar to the “Enable” mode, with the difference being that in “Station Mode Only” no wireless client can connect to the Intellinet Dual-Band Router. The wireless function is used exclusively for the

wireless broadband (WISP) signal. Only stations that are connected to one of the LAN ports can utilize the WISP connection.

SSID — Enter the name of the wireless network that you want to connect to, or click “Site Survey” and let the router search all available networks for you and enter the SSID automatically. Channel Number — This is the radio frequency used to transmit and receive the wireless signal. Enter it manually or click “Site Survey” and let the router search all available networks for you and enter the channel number automatically.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

Wireless Band — Check whether the WISP signal is found in either the 2.4 GHz or 5 GHz frequency range.

Site Survey — Click to display a wireless site survey table (not shown). It will list all available access points nearby. Select the access point designated by your wireless ISP in the table and click “Done.” Security Settings — If the WISP signal encrypted, you need to enter the correct information here. Refer to section 2.7.3 Wireless Security for details.

2.6 LAN Conguration

This section explains the IP address settings of the local network. Normally, there is no need to make any changes here: The default values work ne for most

applications, and you could just go directly to section 2.7 WLAN Conguration.

There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every computer manually) and dynamic IP address (the IP address of computers will be assigned by the router automatically). It’s recommended for most of the computers to use a dynamic IP address, as it will save a lot of time when setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot of computers in your network. For servers and network devices that will provide services to other computers and users that come from the Internet, a static IP

address should be used so other computers can locate the server.

SUGGESTIONS FOR AN IP ADDRESS NUMBERING PLAN

To dene an IP address plan for your network, here are some suggestions.

• A valid IP address has fo ur eld s: a.b.c .d. For m o st hom e and comp any users, it ’s

suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1 and 254. This router is able to work with up to 253 clients, so

you can set the “d” eld of the router’s IP address as 1 or 254 (or any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0 and 254 for eld “c.”

• In most cases, you should use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask, which meets the router’s capability of working with up to 253 clients.)

• For all servers and network devices that will provide services to other people (like Internet service, print service and le service), use a static IP address. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a list, so everyone

can locate those servers easily.

• For computers not dedicated to providing specic service to others, use a dynamic IP address.

NOTE: Recommended setup values are provided in the sections that follow.

Click the “LAN” menu on the left of the Web management interface to see three setup groups (explained below): LAN IP, DHCP Server, Static DHCP Leases Table.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.6.1 LAN IP

IP address — Enter the IP address of this router. Subnet Mask — Enter the subnet mask for this network.

802.1d Spanning Tree — Select “Enable” or “Disable” from the drop-down menu.

The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that ensures a loop- free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and ensuing broadcast radiation. Spanning tree also allows a network design to include spare (redundant) links to provide automatic backup paths if an active link fails, without the danger of bridge loops or the need for manual enabling/disabling of these backup links. In larger networks, this option should be enabled. DHCP Server — Select “Enable” or “Disable” from the drop-down menu.

RECOMMENDED VALUES

IP Address: 192.168.2.1

Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

802.1d Spanning Tree: Disabled

DHCP Server: Enabled

2.6.2 DHCP Server

These settings are only available when “DHCP Server” in the LAN IP section is

enabled, but will also affect wireless clients.

Lease Time — Choose a lease time (the duration that every computer can keep a specic IP address) for every IP address assigned by this router.

Start IP — Enter the start IP address of the IP range. End IP — Enter the end IP address of the IP range. Domain Name— Enter a domain name for your network. (optional)

NOTE: The number of the last eld (the “d” eld) of “End IP” must be greater than

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

“Start IP” and can’t be the same as the router’s IP address. Also, the rst three elds of the IP address of “Start IP,” “End IP” and “IP Address” in the LAN IP section (the “a,” “b” and “c” elds) should be the same.

Lease Time: Two Weeks (or “Forever” if

you have fewer than 20 computers)

RECOMMENDED VALUES

End IP: 192.168.2.200

Domain Name: (leave it blank)

Start IP: 192.168.2.100

2.6.3 Static DHCP Leases Table

This function allows you to assign a static IP address to a specic computer forever, so you don’t need to set the IP address for a computer to enjoy the benet of using a DHCP server. A maximum of 16 static IP addresses can be assigned here.

NOTE: If you set “Lease Time” to “Forever” in the DHCP Server section, you can also assign an IP address to a specic computer permanently; however, you won’t be able to assign a certain IP address to a specic computer, since IP addresses

will be assigned in random order this way.

Enable Static DHCP Leases — Select to enable; de-select to disable. MAC Address — Enter the MAC address of the computer or network device (a

total of 12 characters, with numerals from 0 to 9 and characters from a to f, such as 001122aabbcc).

IP Address — Enter the IP address you want to assign to this computer or device.

Click “Add” to include a MAC address and IP address pair into the Static DHCP Leases table (below). Click “Clear” to remove characters entered in a text eld.

To delete a specic item, check the “Select” box of a MAC address and IP address

mapping, then click “Delete Selected.” To delete all mappings, click “Delete All.” To deselect all mappings, click “Reset.”

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.7 Wireless LAN Conguration

If your computer, PDA, game console or other network device is equipped with a wireless network interface, you can use the wireless function of this router to connect to the Internet and share resources with other computers on your network. This router contains two independently operating wireless units: one for the standard 2.4

GHz range; one for the 5 GHz range. Thus, you have two wireless conguration

options. Since the options of the 5 GHz setup are identical to those of the 2.4 GHz setup, only the 2.4 GHz options are detailed here.

Furthermore, it’s strongly recommended that you use the built-in security functions to protect your network from intruders. WPA/2 should be used whenever possible.

Click the “Wireless” menu on the left of the Web management interface to open

the wireless settings page. Remember to click “Apply” to save your settings.

2.7.1 Basic Wireless Settings

Mode — Select one of six options for the operational mode of the wireless radio:

• “Access Point” is the most common mode, in which the wireless router acts as a bridge between 802.11b/g/n wireless devices and a wired Ethernet network, and exchanges data between them. This is the most common way to use the 450N wireless router.

• “Station (Infrastructure)” allows you to connect the router to an Ethernet device such as a TV and gaming console, effectively acting as the wireless network

adapter of the device to connect a wired Ethernet device to a wireless network. Once Station mode is activated, the channel number selection disappears.

Click “Site Survey” and select the wireless network you want the router to connect to. Click “Apply” to save the settings. NOTE: In Station mode, no

wireless client will be able to wirelessly connect to the device. Activate the Universal Repeater mode (see below) to allow wireless clients to connect at the same time.

• “AP Bridge (Point to Point)” lets you connect two wired Ethernet networks; for example, if Network 1 and Network 2 are on opposite sides of a road, you can

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

use two of these wireless routers to connect the two networks. Both routers

need to be set to AP Bridge (Point to Point) mode: The screen will then display a MAC Address 1 eld in which you enter the MAC address of the opposite

router, which you can obtain by clicking “Status” (top right) and “Device Status.”

You also need to set both routers to the same wireless channel in the Channel Number eld. Finally, click “Security Settings” and set both devices up the

same way. NOTE: In Bridge mode, no wireless client will be able to wirelessly connect to the device.

• “AP Bridge (Point to Multi-Point)” mode is very similar to the above-mentioned Point-to-Point mode, except here you can have the router connecting up to four different devices. The setup is the same, but you need to provide MAC addresses for all other bridges you want to connect to (MAC Address 1 – 4).

NOTE: In Bridge mode, no wireless client will be able to wirelessly connect to the device.

• “AP Bridge (WDS)” mode is quite similar to the Point to Multi-Point described above in that it allows you to connect your wireless router to up to four other wireless routers. However, whereas in bridge mode you can only use this function to connect wired Ethernet networks (since in Bridge mode no wireless client can connect to the wireless router), in WDS mode this limitation no longer exists. WDS (Wireless Distribution System) is a system that enables the wireless interconnection of access points in an IEEE 802.11 network. It allows a wireless network to be expanded using multiple access points without the

traditional requirement for a wired backbone to link them. The downside is two-fold: First, the performance of the wireless network suffers in WDS mode quite signicantly; second, the setup is more complicated and interoperability

with different access points and routers cannot be guaranteed. The setup is very much the same as the Point to Multi-Point Bridge mode; the only extra information that needs to be provided is the SSID of the wireless network.

• “Universal Repeater” combines the rst two modes, Access Point and Station,

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

and increases the wireless coverage area by repeating an existing wireless signal. Concerning the setup, you need click “Site Survey” and select the SSID of the parent access point. (The SSID is the name of the wireless network the router will be broadcasting. The Root AP SSID is the name of the network the router is repeating. Band — Select one of the options from the drop-down menu:

• “2.4 GHz (B)” only allows an 802.11b wireless network client to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps).

• “2.4 GHz (N)” only allows an 802.11n wireless network client to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 300 Mbps).

• “2.4 GHz (B+G)” only allows a802.11b and 802.11g wireless network clients to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps for 802.11b clients;

maximum 54 Mbps for 802.11g clients).

• “2.4 GHz (G)” only allows an 802.11g wireless network client to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 54 Mbps).

• “2.4 GHz (B+G+N)” allows 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n wireless network clients to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps for 802.11b clients; 54 Mbps for 802.11g clients; 300 Mbps for 802.11n clients. NOTE: For optimal compatibility with wireless clients, select “2.4 GHz (B+G+N).”

ESSID — Enter the name for your wireless network. You may choose to use the default value, but you can adjust the value to make identication in areas with different wireless networks easier; e.g., to differentiate your wireless network from

that of your neighbors.

Channel Number — Select a channel: 1-13 for Europe; 1-11 for the U.S. Associated Clients — Click “Show Active Clients” to see the status of all active

wireless stations connected to the access point.

You can try to change the channel number if you think the data transfer rate is too

slow. There could be interference from other wireless networks in the area using the same channel, and the cross-talk between the two networks can reduce the wireless data transfer rate. Ideally, you want to set your channel to a value which leaves at least two channels spaced between the two networks.

Example: If your neighbor’s wireless network runs on channel 3, set your channel

to 6 or higher. Even a handheld phone in your household can cause interference with the wireless signal, and changing the channel by two or three numbers often resolves the problem.

2.7.2 Advanced Wireless Settings

Normally, there is no need to make any changes here. Unless you know that your network requires special settings, you can proceed to 2.7.3 Wireless Security.

Fragment Threshold — Set the fragment threshold of the wireless radio. NOTE: If

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

you aren’t sure what this should be set to, leave it as the default value of 2346.

RTS Threshold — Set the RTS (return to sender) threshold of the wireless radio. NOTE: If unsure what this should be set to, leave it as the default value: 2347. Beacon Interval — Set the beacon interval of the wireless radio. NOTE: If you aren’t sure what this should be set to, leave it as the default value of 100. DTIM Period — Set the DTIM (delivery trafc indication message) period of the wireless radio. NOTE: If you aren’t sure what this should be set to, leave it as the default value of 3. Data Rate — Set the wireless data transfer rate to a specic value. Since most wireless devices will negotiate with each other and pick a proper data transfer

rate automatically, it’s not necessary to change this value unless you know what will happen after modication.

N Data Rate — Same as above, but only for 802.11n clients. Channel Width — Set the channel width of the wireless radio. NOTE: If you aren’t

sure what this should be set to, leave it as the default setting (“Auto 20/40 MHz”).

Preamble Type — Set the preamble type. NOTE: If you aren’t sure what this should be set to, leave it as the default setting (“Short Preamble”).

Broadcast ESSID — Decide if the wireless router will broadcast its own ESSID. You can hide the ESSID of your wireless router (select “Disable”) so only people who know the ESSID of your wireless router can connect to it. CTS Protect — Enabling this function reduces the chance of radio signal collisions

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

between 802.11b and 802.11g/n wireless access points. NOTE: The recommended setting is either “Auto” or “Always.” Tx Power — Set the output power of the wireless radio. Unless you’re using this router in a really big space, you may not need to set this to “100%.” WMM — Set WMM (Wi-Fi Multimedia, which enhances the data transfer performance of multimedia content sent over a wireless network) to “Enable” or leave it as the default (“Disable”).

2.7.3 Wireless Security

Unlike the Advanced Wireless Settings options, these settings are critical: If not done properly, freeloaders can use your Internet connection without your knowledge and hackers could gain access to your network and steal vital data such as credit

card information or bank records. Click the “Security Settings” menu on the left of

the Web management interface to select one of the four encryption methods from the drop-down menu (see image below).

2.7.3.1 Disable Wireless Security

When you select this mode, data encryption is disabled and every wireless device in proximity will be able to connect your wireless router if no other security measure

is enabled (like using MAC address access control disabling ESSID broadcast).

NOTE: Only use this option when you want to allow everyone to use your wireless

router and you don’t care if someone reads the data you transfer over the network

without your consent.

2.7.3.2 Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP)

WEP encryption is an outdated method to secure your network, as it doesn’t meet the security standards of modern data encryption. Thus, it’s not recommended that you use WEP,unless you use WLAN adapters or WLAN networking devices that don’t support WPA/WPA2 encryption. If your WLAN card supports WPA/WPA2,

you can proceed to section 2.7.3.3 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA).

Key Length — There are two types of WEP key length: 64-bit and 128-bit. Selecting “128-bit” is safer than “64-bit,” but will reduce some data transfer performance.

Key Format — There are two types of key format: ASCII and hexadecimal, or “hex.”

To improve the security level, don’t use words found in a dictionary or that are too easily remembered. Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only need to input the WEP key for a wireless client once. It’s worth using a complicated WEP key to improve the security level. Once you enter your WEP key and save the settings, all wireless clients will need to enter that identical character conguration

in order to gain access to your wireless network. NOTE: 128-bit encryption and

ASCII key format are recommended.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

When you select a key format, the number of characters in the key will be displayed.

For example, if you select “64-bit” as the key length and “Hex” as the key format, you’ll see the message to the right of “Key Format” is “Hex (10 characters),” which means the length of the WEP key is 10 characters.

Default Tx Key — You can set up to four sets of WEP keys, and designate one as the default here. NOTE: If unsure which one you should use, select “Key 1.”

Encryption Key 1-4 — Enter WEP key characters here. The number of characters must be the same as the number displayed n the “Key Format” eld. You can use any alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z and A-Z) if you select “ASCII” for

the key format. If you select “Hex” as key the format, you can use 0-9, a-f and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption key here; if you enter multiple WEP keys, they should not be same. Enable 802.1x Authentication — IEEE 802.1x is an authentication protocol. Every user must use a valid account to log in to this router before accessing the wireless LAN. The authentication is processed by a RADIUS server. This mode authenticates the user by IEEE 802.1x, but it does not encrypt the data during communication. If there is a RADIUS server in your environment, enable this function. Check this box and another sub-menu will appear:

RADIUS Server IP address — Enter the IP address of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Server Port — Enter the port number of the RADIUS server. RADIUS Server Password — Enter the password of the RADIUS server.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

2.7.3.3 Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Pre-Shared Key

WPA Unicast Cipher Suite — Once you select one of the three ciper options —

“WPA (TKIP),” “WPA2 (AES)” or “WPA2 Mixed” — make sure your wireless clients support it. Pre-shared Key Format — Select the type of pre-shared key from the drop-down menu: “Passphrase” (8 or more alphanumerical characters, up to 63) or “Hex” (64 characters of 0-9 and a-f). Pre-shared Key — Enter the WPA passphrase. NOTE: As mentioned earlier, try to avoid common terms or character combinations.

Some wireless devices (especially those manufactured before 2003) only support

the WEP or WPA (TKIP) cipher. A driver upgrade would be needed for them to be able to use WPA and WPA2 encryption.

2.7.3.4 WPA RADIUS

If you have a RADIUS server, this router can work with it and provide even safer wireless authentication.

WPA Unicast Cipher Suite — Once you select one of the three ciper options —

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

“WPA (TKIP),” “WPA2 (AES)” or “WPA2 Mixed” — make sure your wireless clients support it.

2.7.4 Wireless Access Control

This function helps to prevent unauthorized users from connecting to your router:

Only those wireless devices that have the MAC address you assign here can gain access. The MAC address is a unique hardware identication number that every network adapter carries. You can use this function in combination with data encryption (WPA, WPA2 or WEP) to create an additional layer of security for your

wireless network.

Up to 20 MAC addresses can be assigned using this function. Click the “Wireless” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click “Access Control.” NOTE: As explained below, all allowed MAC address will display in the MAC Address Filtering table.

Delete — To delete a specic MAC address entry, check the “Select” box of the MAC address you want to delete, then click “Delete Selected.” (You can select more than one MAC address at a time.) Delete All — Click to delete all MAC addresses listed.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

Enable Access Control — Select to enforce MAC address ltering. The router will not lter the MAC addresses of wireless clients if this is left unchecked. MAC Address — Enter the MAC addresses of your wireless devices here without special characters. If the MAC address label of your wireless device indicates

“aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff” or “aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,” just enter “aabbccddeeff” (without the quote marks). Comment — This is optional and can be left blank, but it’s recommended that you enter something (such as “My Desktop,” as shown) that will help you identify an address later.

Add — Click to add the MAC address and associated comment to the MAC Address Filtering table. Clear — Click to remove whatever you entered in the “MAC Address” or “Comment” elds.

2.7.5 Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is the simplest way to build a connection between wireless network clients and this router. You don’t need to select an encryption

mode and input a long encryption passphrase every time you need to set up a

wireless client: You only need to press a button on a wireless device/client and this wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

This router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Conguration (PBC) and PIN code. To use PBC, you need to push a specic button on the wireless client to start the WPS mode and switch this router to WPS mode. You can push the Reset/WPS button of this router, or click “Start PBC” in the Web conguration interface to do this. To use PIN code, you need to know the PIN code of the wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the wireless client you want

to connect to this wireless router.

Click the “Wireless” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click “WPS.”

Enable WPS Settings — Check the box to enable the function; uncheck to disable. Enable WPS Proxy — Check the box to enable the function; uncheck to disable.

When enabled, it allows another access point to serve as an “intermediary” device for the connection between wireless network clients and the router.

WPS Status — “Congured” is displayed if the wireless security (encryption) function of this wireless router is properly set. “Not congured” is shown if the WPS function has not been congured correctly. PinCode Self — This is the WPS PIN code of this wireless router, which is useful when you need to build a wireless connection by WPS with other WPS-enabled

wireless devices.

SSID — As it denes this router. Authentication Mode — If you don’t enable the security function of the router before

WPS is activated, the router will auto-set the security to WPA (AES) and generate a set of passphrase keys for WPS connection. Passphrase Key — As it was congured. Cong Mode — There are “Registrar” and “Enrollee” modes as options for the WPS connection. When “Registrar” is enabled, wireless clients will follow the router’s wireless settings for a WPS connection. When “Enrolle” mode is enabled, the router will follow the wireless settings of wireless client for a WPS connection. Congure by Push Button — Click “Start PBC” to start a Push-Button-style WPS setup procedure. This wireless router will wait for WPS requests from wireless

clients for two minutes. The WLAN LED on the wireless router will be on for two minutes when this wireless router is waiting for an incoming WPS request.

Congure by Client PinCode — Enter the PIN code of the wireless client you want to connect, and click “Start PIN.” The WLAN LED on the wireless router will be on when this wireless router is waiting for an incoming WPS request.

2.7.6 Security Tips for Wireless Networks

Below are ve reminders that will help you maintain a higher level of security for

your wireless network.

• Never use simple words for the WPA/WEP encryption passphrase. A good

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

password cannot be found in the dictionary and consists of a combination of characters, symbols and numbers. You should also refrain from using passwords that carry a personal meaning — names of pets, names or birthdays of a spouse, and such — as these can easily be guessed by unauthorized users.

• Use WPA versus WEP whenever possible: WPA encryption and (even more so) WPA2 encryption are much stronger. If your wireless network adapters support WPA or WPA2, you should abandon WEP entirely.

• You can hide the ESSID of this router by setting the “Broadcast ESSID” option

(refer to section 2.7.2.Advanced Wireless Settings) to “Disable.” Once this option is disabled, the router will no longer broadcast the SSID; thus, wireless clients in the area will not be able to see the wireless network in the list of available WLAN networks. Keep in mind that hiding the SSID will make it more difcult for wireless clients to join the network — and that is basically the idea. Instead of selecting the wireless network from the list, the user now must manually enter the wireless SSID, which will be difcult without knowing what it is. While this option offers additional protection, you should never rely on this mechanism as your only means of protection. A WPA encryption key is still highly recommended. Hiding the SSID of your access point is simply one additional step you can take.

• Use the Access Control function (section 2.7.4) so people who are not on your list will not be able to connect to your network. If you don’t have guest trafc, you normally know which computers access your network, and you can specically

allow those computers and deny all the others.

• Utilizing all three mechanisms (encryption, no SSID broadcast and MAC address ltering) offers the best protection against unauthorized access.

SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP

3 ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

3.1 Quality of Service (QoS)

Quality of service provides an efcient way for computers on the network to share the Internet bandwidth with a promised quality of Internet service. Without QoS,

all computers and devices on the network compete with each other to get Internet bandwidth, and some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network telephone) are affected negatively, resulting in an interruption

of video/audio transfers. QoS allows you to limit the maximum bandwidth or grant a guaranteed bandwidth for a specic computer or network service port.

3.1.1 Basic QoS Settings

Click “QoS” on the left of the Web management interface.

Enable QoS— Check to enable the function; uncheck if you prefer not to enforce QoS bandwidth limitations.

Total Download Bandwidth — You can set the limit of total download bandwidth in kilobits. To disable the download bandwidth limitation, enter “0.” Total Upload Bandwidth — You can set the limit of total upload bandwidth in kilobits. To disable the upload bandwidth limitation, enter “0.” NOTE: Both Total Download and Total Upload bandwidths should be specied according to the maximum

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

performance of your Internet service. If you’re not sure about these numbers, contact your ISP. QoS can only be effective if accurate information is provided.

Current QoS Table — All existing QoS rules are shown here. Add — Click to add new QoS rules (see section 3.1.2 Adding a New QoS Rule). Edit — To modify the content of a specic rule, check the “Select” box of that rule,

then click “Edit.” NOTE: Only one rule should be selected at a time. If you didn’t select a rule before clicking “Edit,” you’ll be prompted to add a new rule. Delete — You can select one or more rules to delete by checking the “Select” box of the rule(s) you want to delete, then clicking “Delete.” If the QoS table is empty, this

button is inaccessible. Delete All — Click to delete all rules in the QoS table. If the QoS table is empty, this button is inaccessible.

Move Up — Click to raise the priority of the selected QoS rule. Move Down — Click to lower the priority of the selected QoS rule.

3.1.2 Adding a New QoS Rule

After you click “Add” on the QoS screen, you’ll have these options.

Rule Name — Enter a name for the QoS rule (up to 15 alphanumerical characters; e.g, “VoIP Phone”).

Bandwidth — Set the bandwidth amount of the QoS rule. You need to select the data direction of this rule (Upload or Download) and the speed of the bandwidth limitation in kbps, then select the type of QoS: “Guarantee” (guaranteed usable bandwidth for this rule) or “Max” (set the maximum bandwidth for the application allowed by this rule).

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Local IP Address — Specify the local (source) IP address that will be affected by this rule. Enter the starting IP address in the left eld, and enter the end address in the right eld to dene a range of IP addresses; or just enter the IP address in the left eld to dene a single IP address.

Local Port Range — Enter the range of local (source) port numbers that should be

affected by this rule. To apply this rule on ports 80 to 90, enter “80-90”; to apply this rule only to a single port, just enter the port number, such as “80.”

Remote IP Address — Specify the remote (destination) IP address that should be affected by this rule. Enter the starting IP address in the left eld, and enter the end address in the right eld to dene a range of IP addresses; or just enter the IP address in the left eld to dene a single IP address.

Remote Port Range — Enter the range of remote (destination) port numbers that

should be affected by this rule. To apply this rule on ports 80 to 90, enter “80-90”; to apply this rule only to a single port, just enter the port number, such as “80.” If the remote (destination) IP address and/or port number is universal, just leave it blank.

Trafc Type — Select the trafc type of this rule from the drop-down menu: “None,” “SMTP,” “HTTP,” “POP3” or “FTP.” To make this rule an IP address-based rule (to apply the limitation on all trafc from/to the specied IP address or port

number), select “None.”

Protocol — Select the protocol type of this rulefrom the drop-down menu: “TCP” or “UDP.” If you don’t know what protocol your application uses, try “TCP” rst and switch to “UDP” if this rule doesn’t seem to work.

Click “Save” to add the new rule. It will appear in the current QoS table. Should an error message show up after you click “Save,” you can try again, but xing the problem rst and then clicking “Save” will have a better chance of working.

3.2 Network Address Translation (NAT)

Network Address Translation (NAT, also known as Network Masquerading, Native Address Translation or IP Masquerading) is a technique of transceiving network trafc through a router that involves re-writing the source and/or destination IP addresses and usually the TCP/UDP port numbers of IP packets as they pass through. Checksums (both IP and TCP/UDP) must also be rewritten to take account

of the changes. Most systems using NAT do so in order to enable multiple hosts

on a private network to access the Internet using a single public IP address (see gateway). Many network administrators nd NAT a convenient technique and use it widely. Simply put: The router’s NAT function allows the connection of multiple

computers to one Internet line.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Click the “NAT” menu on the left of the Web management interface. NAT is enabled by default, and there is normally no need to change this.

3.2.1 Port Forwarding

With this function, you can tell the router to forward incoming connections bound to a specic port or port range to an IP address on your local network. Many online games, game consoles with Internet service, remote access applications and special network devices such as network cameras require you to open and forward ports, often referred to as port mapping.

With port forwarding, the external and internal ports are always the same. If you

need to redirect an incoming request on public port A to internal port B, you need to use the Virtual Server function (see section 3.2.2 Virtual Server).

Enable Port Forwarding — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable. Private IP — Enter the IP address of the computer on the local network that provides

Internet service. Computer Name — With all the computers connected to the router listed in this drop-down menu, you can select a name without checking its IP address.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Type — Select the type of connection from the drop-down menu: “TCP,” “UDP” or “Both.” If you’re not sure which to use, select “Both.” Port Range — Enter the starting port number in the left eld and enter the ending port number in the right eld. To redirect a single port number, just enter the port number in the left eld.

Comment — Enter text to describe this mapping, using up to 16 alphanumerical

characters; e.g., “camera web port.”

Add — Add the mapping to the Current Port Forwarding Table. Reset — Click to remove all entries. Current Port Forwarding Table — Shows all existing port forwarding rules (port

mapping). Delete — Select a port forwarding mapping by checking the “Select” box of the mapping, then clicking “Delete.” If there’s no existing mapping, this button will be grayed out.

Delete All — Click to delete all existing port mappings. Reset — Click to unselect all mappings.

3.2.2 Virtual Server

This function is very similar to Port Forwarding. The difference is that Virtual Server

only allows you to specify one port. On the other hand, it enables you to redirect a public port to a different private port (e.g., public port 80 redirects to private port

85). This makes Virtual Server the obvious choice for hosting public Web services

(such as a Web server) on a computer connected to one of the LAN ports on the router.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Enable Virtual Server — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable. Private IP — Enter the IP address of the computer on the local network that provides

Internet service. Computer Name — With all the computers connected to the router listed in this drop-down menu, you can select a name without checking its IP address. Private Port — Enter the port number of the IP address that provides Internet service.

Type — Select the type of connection from the drop-down menu: “TCP,” “UDP” or “Both.” If you’re not sure which to use, select “Both.” Public Port — Select the port number of Internet IP address that will be redirected to the port number of the local IP address dened above.

Comment — Enter text to describe this mapping, using up to 16 alphanumerical

characters; e.g., “FTP Server.”

Add — Add the mapping to the Virtual Server Table. Reset — Click to remove all entries. Current Virtual Server Table — Shows all existing virtual server mappings. Delete — Select a virtual server mapping by checking the “Select” box of the

mapping, then clicking “Delete.” If there’s no existing mapping, this button will be grayed out.

Delete All — Click to delete all existing virtual server mappings. Reset — Click to unselect all mappings.

3.2.3 Port Mapping for Special Applications

Some applications require more than one connection a time. This function allows these applications to work when they won’t work with simple NAT rules.

Enable Special Applications — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable. IP Address — Enter the IP address of the computer where you want to open the

ports. Computer Name — With all the computers connected to the router listed in this drop-down menu, you can select a name without checking its IP address. TCP Port to Open — This is the outgoing (outbound) range of TCP port numbers for this particular application. UDP Port to Open — This is the outgoing (outbound) range of UDP port numbers for this particular application.

Comment — Enter a description for this setting. Popular Applications — The drop-down menu lists some popular applications that

require multiple connections. To save one to the Current Trigger-Port Table, select it and click “Add.”

Add — Click to add a selection to the Current Trigger-Port Table. Reset — Click to remove all entries.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Delete All — Click to delete all existing specifal application settings.

3.2.4 UPnP

This function enables network auto-conguration for peer-to-peer communications. With this function, network devices will be able to communicate with other UPnP-

enabled devices directly and learn about other devices. Many network devices and applications rely on UPnP function nowadays.

UPnP Module — There is nothing to congure for UPnP. Just select “Enable” or “Disable.”

3.2.5 ALG

Application Layer Gateway (ALG) is a special function of this router. It includes

many preset routing rules for numerous applications (as shown below) that require special support to work with the NAT architecture. Check “Enable” next to the

listing and click “Apply.”

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

3.3 Firewall

In addition to the NAT feature, this router provides rewall functionality to block malicious intruders from accessing the computers on your local network. Click the “Firewall” menu on the left of the Web management interface.

Firewall Module — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable.

3.3.1 Access Control

This function allows or denies computers with a specic MAC address — or a specic IP address, protocol or port — access to the network.

Enable MAC Filtering — Check this box to enable MAC address-based ltering, and select “Deny” or “Allow” to determine the behavior of the MAC ltering table. If you select “Deny,” all MAC addresses listed in the ltering table will be denied access to the network; if you select “Allow,” only MAC addresses listed in the

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

ltering table will be able to connect to the network, and all other network devices will be rejected.

Client PC MAC address — Enter the MAC address of the computer or network device. Dashes (–) or colons ( : ) are not required. For example, if the MAC

address label of your device reads “aa-bb-cc-dd-ee-ff” or “aa:bb:cc:dd:ee:ff,” just enter “aabbccddeeff” (without the quote marks). Computer Name — With all the computers connected to the router listed in this drop-down menu, you can select a name without checking its IP address.

IP address. Client PC IP Address — Enter the starting IP address in the left eld and the end IP address in the right eld to dene a range of IP addresses, or just input the IP address in the left eld to dene a single IP address.

Client PC Service — Select all services you want to allow or deny through this IP address.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Protocol — If the service you need is not listed, you can create a new service

yourself. Select “TCP” or “UDP” from the drop-down menu and follow the Port Range instructions below. If you’re not sure which Protocol to use, select “Both.”

Port Range — Enter the port range of the new service. To specify ports 80 to 90,

enter “80-90”; to apply this rule to a single port, just enter the port number. Add — Click to save the settings. You’ll be re-directed to the previous menu, and the rule you just set will appear in the IP Filtering Table. Reset — Click to remove all entries.

3.3.3 URL Blocking

To prevent computers in the local network from accessing certain Web sites, you

can dene the Web sites, IP addresses or keywords here. This function is useful

for parents and company managers: The former can protect children from

inappropriate contents on the Internet; the latter can protect employees from

losing their jobs.

You can block full Web site URLs, such as “www.microsoft.com”; IP addresses, such as “207.46.232.182”; or just a part of a URL. For example, if you enter the

keyword “downloads,” the computer can connect to “www.microsoft.com” but not “www.microsoft.com/downloads.”

Enable URL Blocking — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable. URL/Keyword — Enter the URL (host name or IP address of a Web site, such as

“http://www.blocked-site.com” or “http://11.22.33.44”), or a keyword contained in a URL (like “pornography,” “sex,” “banner advertisement,” etc).

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Add — Click to add the URL/keyword to the URL/Keyword Filtering Table. Reset — Click to remove all entries in the “URL/Keyword” text eld. Current URL Blocking Table — All existing URL/keywords in the ltering table. Delete — Select a URL/keyword by checking the “Select” box of the entry, then

clicking “Delete.”

Delete All — Click to delete all existing URL/keyword entries.

3.3.4 DoS Attack Prevention

A denial-of-service (DoS) attack is an attempt to make a computer resource unavailable to its intended users. DoS attacks generally consist of the concerted, malevolent efforts of a person or persons to prevent an Internet site or service from

functioning efciently or at all, temporarily or indenitely. One common method of

attack involves saturating the target (victim) machine, in this case the router, with external communications requests, such that it cannot respond to legitimate trafc or responds so slowly as to be rendered effectively unavailable.

This router has a built-in DoS attack prevention mechanism to prevent DoS attacks from succeeding. Activating all options is recommended.

Ping of Death — Ping of Death is a special packet, and it will cause certain

computers to stop responding. Check this box and the router will lter out this

kind of packet. Discard Ping From WAN — Ping is a common and useful tool for knowing the connection status of a specied remote network device, but some malicious intruder could try to ll your network bandwidth with a lot of PING request data packets to make your Internet connection become very slow — even unusable. Check this box and the router will ignore all inbound PING requests. NOTE: Unfortunately, when you activate this function, you will not be able to ping your own router from the Internet, either. Port Scan — An intruder could try to use a port scanner to determine how many

ports of your Internet IP address are open, through which they can collect a lot of valuable information. Check this box and the router will block all trafc that’s involved in trying to scan your Internet IP address. Sync Flood — Another kind of attack, this one uses a lot of fake connection requests to consume the memory of your server, rendering it unusable. Check this box and the router will lter this kind of trafc out.

Advanced Settings — Click to set advanced settings of the DoS prevention method listed above. (See section 3.3.4.1 DoS – Advanced Settings below.)

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

3.3.4.1 DoS – Advanced Settings

Clicking “Advanced Settings” on the rst DoS Module screen will display this page.

Ping of Death — Set the threshold of when this DoS prevention mechanism will be

activated. Check the box for Ping of Death and enter the frequency of threshold (how many packets per second, minute or hour). You can also enter the “Burst” value: When this number of Ping of Death packets is received within a very

short timeframe, this DoS prevention mechanism will be activated.

Discard Ping From WAN — Check the box to activate this mechanism. Port Scan — A number of port scan methods are listed here. Check one or more

DoS attack methods you want to prevent. Sync Flood — As with Ping of Death, you can set the threshold for when this DoS prevention mechanism will be activated.

3.3.5 Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

With NAT and the rewall, this router protects all connected computers in your local

network. Sometimes, however, you may want to expose a computer or network

device to the Internet intentionally for various reasons; e.g., troubleshooting of network problems. Placing a computer in the DMZ puts it at great risk because the

protection mechanisms of the router no longer apply.

So, unless you know what you are doing, you should not use this function at all.

Enable DMZ — Check to enable this function; uncheck to disable. Public IP — Select “Dynamic IP” or “Static IP.” If you select “Dynamic IP,” you need

to select an Internet connection session from the drop-down menu; if you select “Static IP,” enter the IP address that you want to map to a specic private IP

address.

Client PC IP Address — Enter the private IP address that the Internet IP address will be mapped to. That is the computer you want to bypass the rewall and NAT.

ADVANCED FUNCTIONS

Computer Name — With all the computers connected to the router listed in this drop-down menu, you can select a name without checking its IP address.

Add — Click to add the public IP address and associated private IP address to the DMZ table.

Reset — Click to remove all entries (in either panel). Current DMZ Table — All existing public/private IP address mappings. Delete — Select one or more DMZ entries to delete by checking the “Select” box of

those you want to delete, then clicking “Delete.”

Delete All — Click to delete all DMZ entries.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTIONS

5 TROUBLESHOOTING

This section helps you troubleshoot problems you may be experiencing with the router. Before you contact your dealer for help, you should perform the following troubleshooting steps as they apply to your situation.

The router is not responding when I want to access it with the Web browser.

• Check the power connection and the connection of the network cable. All cords and cables should be correctly and rmly inserted into the router.

• If all LEDs on the router are off, check the status of the A/C power adapter, and make sure it’s correctly plugged into your power outlet.

• Verify the IP address you connect to. The router’s default IP address is

192.168.2.1, but you may have changed it.

• Are you using a MAC or an IP address lter? Try to connect to the router with another computer and see if it works; if not, restore the router’s factory default

settings by pressing the Reset button on the back panel of the router for at least 10 seconds.

• Set your computer to obtain an IP address automatically (DHCP) and check if your computer gets an IP address.

• If you did a rmware upgrade before the problem started, contact your dealer

for assistance.

I can’t get connected to the Internet.

• Go to Status / Internet Connection and check the Internet connection status.

• Be patient — sometimes the Internet is just slow.

• Connect a computer directly to the DSL or cable modem to see if you can

access the Internet that way. If you can, check the WAN connection settings of the router to make sure they are set up correctly.

• Check the PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and password again.

• Call your Internet service provider and ask if there’s something wrong with their

service.

• If you just can’t connect to one or more websites but you can still use other Internet services, check the URL/keyword lter to make sure that you are not

trying to access a blocked website.

• Restart your modem and the router.

• Reset the device provided by your Internet service provider.

• Try to use an IP address instead of a hostname. If you can use an IP address to communicate with a remote server but can’t use a hostname, check the DNS

settings.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My wireless notebook cannot see or connect to the wireless network.

• Check if Broadcast ESSID is off. Remember that you need to input the ESSID on your wireless client manually if the ESSID broadcast is disabled.

• Check that you’ve securely attached the antenna(s).

• Make sure that you’re not too far away from the router.

I can’t log on to the Web management interface: The password is wrong.

• Make sure you’re connecting to the correct IP address of the router.

• The password is case-sensitive. Make sure the Caps Lock feature isn’t on.

• If you’ve simply forgotten your password, do a hardware reset using the Reset

button on the back panel of the router.

The router becomes hot.

• It’s normal for the router to heat up during operation, and this is usually nothing to worry about. If, however, the router gets too hot to touch, or if you smell something burning or see smoke coming from the router or A/C power adapter, immediately disconnect the router and adapter from the utility power — making sure it’s safe to do this — and call your dealer for help.

The date and time of all the event logs are wrong.

• Adjust the internal clock of the router.

6 GLOSSARY

Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to congure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is

not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out toward the destination.

DHCP: Dynamic Host Conguration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.

DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and

one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing “Broadbandrouter.com” into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP

address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS

server your ISP has assigned to you.

DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.

Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no trafc to the Internet for a pre-congured amount of time, the connection will be disconnected.

IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: An Internet Protocol address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, which identies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1 consists of two portions: the IP network address and the host identier. The IP address is a 32-bit

binary pattern that can be represented as four cascaded decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255; or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb. bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1. A network mask is also a 32-bit

binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading 1’s followed by consecutive trail i n g 0 ’s, su c h as 11111111.11111111.11111111.00 0 00 0 00. Ther e f o r e , so me t im es a network mask can also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID. For example, if the IP address

for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if

its net wo rk mask is 11111111.11111111.111100 0 0.00 0 000 0 0 it means t h e de v i ce’s

network address is 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is

00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efcient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination.

GLOSSARY

ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to

the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.

LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected

together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an ofce). Your home network

is considered a LAN.

MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network, and is a unique identier for

a device with an Ethernet interface. It is composed of two parts: three bytes of data

that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), and three bytes that are often used as the product’s serial number.

NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your

home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband router’s NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without

having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting

information over Ethernet between different manufacturers.

Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior is well-dened and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.

Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between

different networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.

Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g., 255.255.255.0) congured like an IP address. It’s used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).

TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and Unreliable Datagram Protocol are the standard protocols for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocols. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP, on the other hand, is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.

WAN: A Wide Area Network connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g., different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
