It specifies the IP address range that DHCP server assigns. The default start IP address is
192.168.0.100, default end IP address is 192.168.0.200.
Note
The start and end IP addresses could belong to different network segments.
User Guide
Generally, you do not need to change the LAN IP address, unless IP address conflicts. For example, the WAN
IP address and LAN IP address of the router may be in the same network segment or the default IP address
192.168.0.252 has been assigned to a device on the LAN.
After the LAN IP address is changed, the following message appears.
When the progress bar completes, you are redirected to the login page. If the login page does not appear,
check and ensure that the local connection of your computer is set to Obtain an IP address automatically,
and try the new LAN IP address to access the web UI of the router.
If the new and old LAN IP addresses belong to different network segments, the router automatically changes the DHCP address
pool so that the IP addresses in the pool belong to the same network segment as that of new LAN IP address.
4.3.2 DHCP server
The DHCP server automatically assigns IP addresses, subnet masks, gateway IP addresses, and DNS IP
addresses to computers on your LAN. With this function disabled, computers can access the internet only
when configured with internet connection parameters. Disable this function only when necessary.
The router is pre-configured with one default DHCP server rule. See the following figure:

primary DNS IP address by default.
Note
Generally, the default value is recommended. If you need to change the value, ensure that the new
value is the IP address of a correct DNS server or DNS proxy, so that the computers on your LAN can
access the internet properly.
Secondary DNS
It specifies the secondary DNS IP address assigned by the DHCP server to computers on your LAN. If
the value is blank, the DHCP server does not assign the IP address.
Lease Time
It specifies the validity of an IP address assigned by the DHCP server to a computer. When the IP
address expires:
−
If the computer is connected to the router, the computer automatically updates the lease
time to continue using the IP address.
−
If the computer is not connected to the router (for example, the computer is shut down or
the wired or wireless connection of the computer is released), the router releases the IP
address. Then, when another computer requests an IP address, the router can assign the
released IP address to the computer.
Change the default settings only when necessary.

4.7 Configuring a static routing
4.7.1 Overview
Routing is an operation to select the optimal route for delivering data from a source to a destination. A static
route is a special route configured manually, which is simple, efficient, and reliable. Proper static routes help
reduce route selection issues and prevent overload caused by route selection data flows, accelerating packet
forwarding.
To define a static route, specify the network segment and subnet mask used to identify a destination network
or host, the gateway IP address, and the router WAN port for forwarding packets. After a static route is
defined, all the packets indented for the destination of the static route are directly forwarded through the
router WAN port to the gateway IP address.
If only static routes are used in a large-scale complex network, destinations may be unreachable in case of a network fault or
topology change, which results in network interruption. If the problem occurs, manually modify the static routes.
4.7.2 Configuring a static routing
To access the configuration page, choose Network > Static Routing. See the following figure.

4.8 Configuring VLAN
4.8.1 Overview
In traditional shared media Ethernet and switch Ethernet, all users are in a broadcast domain. With the
increasing number of computers in the network, the number of broadcast package grows up dramatically,
which adds the data flow between all devices in the network, and then affects the network performance. As
the network expands continually, broadcast storms may happen, making the entire network unusable.
VLAN (Virtual Local Area Network) is a technology that divides the devices in a LAN into different network
segments logically instead of physically, so as to reach data exchange in a virtual workgroup. It divides a LAN
into multiple logical local area networks – VLAN. Hosts in a VLAN are located in the same broadcast domain,
which could communicate as if they are connected to the same network segment in any location; There is
broadcast isolation between groups, hosts in different VALNs cannot communicate with others directly, must
be forwarded by a router or other Layer 3 packet forwarding devices.
VALN application schematic diagram shows as below:
VLAN has the following advantages:
− Performance: Broadcast traffic is transmitted within the VLAN it resides on and cannot reach
another VLAN, improving network performance.
− Costdown: VLAN helps reduce investment comparing with using routers or switches to segment
LANs.
43
Page 52
Multi-WAN Hotspot Router
Segment
Description
TPID
Used to identify that the data frame is a data frame with an 802.1Q VLAN tag. The length of this
segment is two bytes, which is 16 bits, and the IEEE 802.1Q protocol defines the value as 0x8100.
Priority
Used to identify the priority of data frame, mainly used to send packets with higher priority when
the switch is blocked.
The length of this segment is 3 bits. The value range is 0~7. 7 is the highest priority and 0 is the
lowest priority.
CFI
It is used to identify whether the MAC address is encapsulated in the standard format. The length
of this segment is 1 bit.
0 indicates that the MAC address is encapsulated in a standard format, while 1 indicates a
non-standard format. For Ethernet switches, it is 0 by default.
VLAN ID
The identifier of VLAN, which is used to identify the 802.1Q VLAN to which the packet belongs. The
length of this segment is 12 bits, and the value range is 0~4095. Usually, 0 and 4095 are not used,
so the VID value is generally in the range of 1~ 4094.
User Guide
− Flexibility: VALN can be used to create virtual workgroups across physical network. If the VLANs are
deployed properly, devices moved to a new physical place are still in the same VLAN and can access
the internet.
− Security: Hosts in different VLANs cannot communicate with each other directly. Layer 3 packets
must be forwarded by network devices such as routers or Layer 3 switches, which strengthen the
security between different departments in the enterprise network.
This router supports IEEE 802.1Q VLAN. Detailed description is as following:
The IEEE issued the 802.1Q standard in 1999 to specify the implementation of the international standards for
VLANs, making it possible to interoperate between devices from different manufacturers.
The 802.1Q protocol specifies that a 4-byte 802.1Q VLAN tag is encapsulated after the destination MAC
address and source MAC address of the Ethernet frame to identify the VLAN related information. As shown in
the figure below, the standard Ethernet frame becomes an 802.1Q tagged Ethernet frame by adding an
802.1Q VLAN tag after the destination MAC address (DA) and the source MAC address (SA).
The explanation of 802.1Q tag is as below:

4.10 Configuring the DNS cache
4.10.1 Overview
On the page of DNS Cache, you can enable/disable the DNS cache function and set DNS cache limit.
M80 supports the DNS cache function, which enables the router to cache DNS-resolved information about
websites accessed by users. When other users access the websites, the router directly uses the information in the
cache to direct the users to the websites without accessing the DNS server. This improves the website accessing
speed.
4.10.2 Configuring the DNS cache
To access the page for configuring the DNS cache, choose Network > DNS Cache. See the following figure.
By default, the DNS cache contains 1,000 entries. A maximum of 10,000 entries is allowed.

5.1.1 Function description
IP address group and time group
This function allows you to set IP address groups and time groups. Time groups are used for the MAC address
filter, port filter, web filter, and user-defined bandwidth control, while IP address groups are used for the port
filter, web filter, and user-defined multi-WAN policies.
IP address filter
You can set an IP address whitelist and/or an IP blacklist to enable or disable users to access the internet
through the router. The whitelist and blacklist are described as follows:
− Whitelist: Users in the whitelist are allowed to access the internet.
− Blacklist: Users in the blacklist are not allowed to access the internet.
MAC address filter
You can set a MAC address whitelist and/or a MAC address blacklist to enable or disable users to access the
internet through the router. The whitelist and blacklist are described as follows:
− Whitelist: Users in the whitelist are allowed to access the internet.
− Blacklist: Users in the blacklist are not allowed to access the internet.

User Guide
Port filter
The protocols of various services available over the internet use dedicated port numbers. The common
service port numbers range from 0 to 1023 and are generally assigned to specific services.
A port filter prevents LAN users from accessing certain internet services by disabling the users to access the
port numbers of the services.
Web filter
A web filter prevents LAN users from accessing specified types of website for controlling internet accessibility
of LAN users so that they will not spend time on websites irrelevant to their duties. Before you add web filter
rules, add web categories.
Multi-WAN policy
The router has 2 WAN ports by default but allows a maximum of 4 WAN ports. When multiple WAN ports are
operational at the same time, an appropriate multi-WAN policy can greatly improve the bandwidth usage of
the router. The router supports the following types of multi-WAN policy:
− Smart load balancing (default): If such a policy is applied, the router automatically distributes traffic
based on the bandwidth on the Bandwidth Control page through the WAN ports to achieve load
balancing.
− Custom policy: Such a policy is configured by an administrator to distribute data of specified IP
address groups to specified WAN ports.
