Chapter 1 - Introduction

Introducing the WBR-6600

Thank you for purchasing the WBR-6600 Router. Your new router is an all-in-one unit that combines an ADSL modem, ADSL2/2+ router and Ethernet network switch to provide everything you need to get the machines on your network connected to the Internet over an ADSL broadband connection.

The WBR-6600 router complies with ADSL2+ standards for deployment worldwide and supports downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Designed for small office, home office and residential users, the router enables even faster Internet connections. You can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than ever before.

The WBR-6600 supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with your ISP. Your new router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

The perfect solution for connecting a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband Internet connection, the WBR-6600 allows multiple users to have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.

Your new router also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from access by outside users. Not only does it provide a natural firewall function with Network Address Translation (NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure your network. All incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. You can also configure your new router to block internal users from accessing the Internet.

The WBR-6600 provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN IP addresses making them invisible to outside users on the Internet, so it is much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Second, it can block and redirect certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. To ensure that games and other Internet applications run properly, you can open specific ports for outside users to access internal services on your network.

Page 7

The Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) client and server services allow multiple users to get IP addresses automatically when the router boots up. Simply set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from the DHCP server and reboot. Each time a local machine is powered up; the router recognizes it and assigns an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.

For advanced users, Virtual Service (port mapping) functions allow the product to provide limited visibility to local machines with specific services for outside users. For instance, a dedicated web server can be connected to the Internet via the router and then incoming requests for web pages that are received by the router can be rerouted to your dedicated local web server, even though the server now has a different IP address.

Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, you can set the router to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from hackers.

Features

Express Internet Access – ADSL2/2+ capable

The WBR-6600 complies with ADSL worldwide standards. Supporting downstream rates of 8Mbps with ADSL, the router is capable of up to 12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Users enjoy not only high-speed ADSL services but also broadband multimedia applications such as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio which are easier and faster than ever. The router is compliant with Multi-Mode standard (ANSI T1.413, Issue 2; G.dmt (ITU G.992.1); G.hs (ITU G994.1); G.dmt.bis (ITU G.992.3); and G.dmt.bisplus (ITU G.992.5)

802.11n Wireless AP with WPA Support

With integrated 802.11n Wireless Access Point in the router, the device offers a quick and easy access among wired network, wireless network and broadband connection (ADSL) with single device simplicity, and as a result, mobility to the users. In addition to 300 Mbps

802.11n data rate, it also interoperates backward with existing 802.11g and 802.11b equipment. The Wireless Protected Access (WPA) and Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) supported features enhance the security level of data protection and access control via Wireless LAN.

Fast Ethernet Switch A 4-port 10/100Mbps fast Ethernet switch is built-in with automatic switching between MDI

and MDI-X for 10Base-T and 100Base-TX ports, with auto detection allowing you to use either straight or cross-over Ethernet cables.

EWAN Besides using ADSL to get connected to the Internet, WBR-6600 offers its Ethernet port 1

as a WAN port to be used to connect to Cable Modems, VDSL, fiber optic lines and PON. This alternative, yet faster method to connect to the internet will provide users more flexibility to get online.

Page 9

Multi-Protocol to Establish a Connection

The router supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 - PPP over ATM Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over Ethernet (RFC 2516) to establish a connection with an ISP. The router also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) and UPnP NAT Traversal This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices and PCs from many different vendors, and it makes setting up a network simple and affordable. UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable proximity networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this feature enabled, you can seamlessly connect to Net Meeting or MSN Messenger.

Network Address Translation Network Address Translation (NAT) allows multiple users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateways (ALG) are supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping, NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

Firewall NAT technology supports simple firewalls and provides options for blocking access from the Internet, like Telnet, FTP, TFTP, WEB, SNMP and IGMP.

Domain Name Server Relay Domain Name Server (DNS) relay provides an easy way to map a domain name with a user-friendly name such as www.google.com with an IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server to the router‟s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router is forwarded to the real DNS on the outside network.

Dynamic Domain Name Server (DDNS) The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. To use the service, you must first apply for an account from a DDNS service such as http://www.dyndns.org/.

Page 10

PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

The WBR-6600 provides an embedded PPPoE client function to establish a connection. You get greater access speed without changing the operation concept, while sharing the same ISP account and paying for one access account. No PPPoE client software is required for the local computer. Automatic Reconnect and Disconnect Timeout (Idle Timer) functions are also provided.

Quality of Service (QoS)

QoS gives you full control over which types of outgoing data traffic should be given priority by the router, ensuring important data like gaming packets, customer information, or management information move through the router at lightning speed, even under heavy load. The QoS features are configurable by Internal IP address, External IP address, protocol, and port. You can throttle the speed at which different types of outgoing data pass through

the router, to ensure P2P users don‟t saturate upload bandwidth, or office browsing doesn‟t

bring client web serving to a halt. In addition, or alternatively, you can simply change the priority of different types of upload data and let the router sort out the actual speeds.

Virtual Server:

You can specify which services are visible to outside users. The router detects an incoming service request and forwards it to the specific local computer for handling. For example, you can assign a PC in a LAN to act as a Web server inside and expose it to the outside network. Outside users can browse inside the web server directly while it is protected by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided for local computers exposed to the outside Internet network.

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) Client and Server On a WAN site, the DHCP client obtains an IP address from the Internet Service Provider (ISP) automatically. On a LAN site, the DHCP server allocates a range of client IP addresses, including subnet masks and DNS IP addresses and distributes them to local computers. This provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.

Rich Packet Filtering

This feature filters the packet based on IP addresses as well as Port numbers. Filtering packets to and from the Internet provides a higher level of security control.

Page 11

Web-based GUI

A web-based GUI offers easy configuration and management. It also supports remote management capability for remote users to configure and manage this product.

Firmware Upgradeable You can upgrade the router with the latest firmware through its web-based GUI.

Chapter 2 - Product Overview

Standards-Based Technology

The WBR-6600 Wireless Router utilizes the 802.11n standard. The IEEE 802.11n standard is an extension of the 802.11g standard. It increases the data rate up to 300 Mbps within the

2.4GHz band, utilizing OFDM technology. This means that in most environments, within the specified range of this device, you will be able to transfer large files quickly or even watch a movie in MPEG format over your network without noticeable delays. This technology works by transmitting high-speed digital data over a radio wave utilizing OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing) technology. OFDM works by splitting the radio signal into multiple smaller sub-signals that are then transmitted simultaneously at different frequencies to the receiver. OFDM reduces the amount of crosstalk (interference) in signal transmissions.

Installation Considerations

The WBR-6600 Wireless Router lets you access your network, using a wireless connection, from virtually anywhere within its operating range. Keep in mind, however, that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass.

Keep the number of walls and ceilings between the WBR-6600 and other network devices to a minimum - each wall or ceiling can reduce your WBR-6600 wireless product‟s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.)

Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is minimized. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. Position the devices so that the signal will travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception. Building Materials can impede the wireless signal - a solid metal door or aluminium studs may have a negative effect on range.

Try to position wireless devices and computers with wireless adapters so that the signal passes through drywall or open doorways and not other materials. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate extreme RF (radio frequency) noise.

The detail instruction in Reset Button

Recovery procedures for non-working routers (e.g. after a failed firmware upgrade flash): Hold the Reset Button on the back of the modem in. Keep this button held in and turn on the modem. Once the lights on the modem have stopped flashing, release the Reset Button. The modem's emergency-reflash web interface will then be accessible via http://192.168.0.1 where you can upload a firmware image to restore the modem to a functional state. Please note that the modem will only respond via its web interface at this address, and will not respond to ping requests from your PC or to telnet connections.

Note:

Before powering on the router to enter the recovery process, please configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.0.100 and proceed with the following step by step guide.

1. Power the router off.

2. Hold the "Reset Button”.

3. Power on the router. Then Router's IP will reset to Emergency IP address (Say

192.168.0.1)

4. Flash the firmware.

Page 18

Antenna Position Placement

To get the best quality wireless reception out of your router, the antennas should be positioned at 45 degree angles, like the following image, to minimize the wireless interference caused between the antennas.

Cabling

One of the most common causes of problems is because of bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are using the proper cables.

Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and to ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed being the wrong way around can cause problems with your ADSL connection, which includes frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3 - Installation

You can configure the WBR-6600 router through the convenient and user-friendly interface of a web browser. Most popular operating systems such as Linux, MAC OS and Windows 98/NT/2000/XP/Vista include a web browser as a standard application.

Before Configuration

PCs must have a properly installed Ethernet interface which connects to the router directly or through an external repeater hub. In addition, PCs must have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and have an IP address in the range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254). The easiest way is to configure the PC is to obtain an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the router‟s web interface you are advised to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they can cause problems when trying to access the 192.168.0.1 IP address of the router.

Please follow the steps below for installation on your PC‟s network environment. First of all,

check your PC‟s network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network

adapter must be installed. If not, please refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.

Note: Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or through the

WBR-6600. To configure other types of workstations, please consult the manufacturer‟s documentation.

System

There are six items within the System section: Time Zone, Firmware Upgrade, Backup/Restore, Restart, User Management and Mail Alert.

Page 89

Time Zone

The router does not have a real time clock on board; instead, it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server outside your network. Choose your local time zone, click Enable and click the Apply button. After a successful connection to the Internet, the router retrieves the correct local time from the SNTP server you have specified. If you prefer to specify an SNTP server other than those in the drop-down list, simply enter its IP address as shown above. Your ISP may provide an SNTP server for you to use.

Resync Period (in minutes) is the periodic interval the router waits before it resynchronizes

the router‟s time with that of the specified SNTP server. To avoid unnecessarily increasing

the load on your specified SNTP server you should keep the poll interval as high as possible – at the absolute minimum every few hours or even days.

Firmware Upgrade

Your router‟s “firmware” is the software that allows it to operate and provides all its

functionality. Think of your router as a dedicated computer, and the firmware as the software it runs. Over time this software may be improved and modified. Your router allows you to upgrade the software it runs to take advantage of these changes.

Clicking on Browse allows you to select the new firmware image file you have downloaded to your PC. Once the correct file is selected, click Upgrade to update the firmware in your router.

 Restart Device with: To choose “Factory Default Settings” or “Current Settings” which

uses your current setting on the new firmware (it is highly advised to use Factory Default Settings over Current Settings for a clean firmware upgrade).

 New Firmware Image: Type in the location of the file you wish to upload in this field or

click Browse… to locate it.

 Browse…: Click Browse… to find the file with the .afw file extension that you wish to

upload. Remember that you must decompress compressed (.zip) files before you can upgrade from the file.

 Upgrade: Click upgrade to begin the upload process. This process may take up to three

minutes.

Warning:

DO NOT power down the router or interrupt the firmware upgrade while it is still in process. Improper operation may damage the router. Please see section 2.4 for emergency recovery procedures.

Page 91

Backup / Restore

These functions allow you to save and backup your router‟s current settings to a file on your PC, or to restore a previously saved backup. This is useful if you wish to experiment with different settings, knowing that you have a backup handy in the case of any mistakes. It is

advisable to backup your router‟s settings before making any significant changes to your router‟s configuration.

Press Backup to select where on your local PC to save the settings file. You may also change the name of the file when saving if you wish to keep multiple backups.

Press Browse… to select a file from your PC to restore. You should only restore settings files that have been generated by the Backup function, and that were created when using the current version of the router‟s firmware. Settings files saved to your PC should not be manually edited in any way.

Select the settings files you wish to use, and press Restore to load those settings into the router.

Restart Router

Click Restart with option Current Settings to reboot your router and save the current configuration to device.

If you wish to restart the router using the factory default settings (for example, after a firmware upgrade or if you have saved an incorrect configuration), select Factory Default Settings to reset to factory default settings.

Note: IP Address of the router will revert back to default setting of 192.168.0.1.

Page 93

User Management

In order to prevent unauthorized access to your router‟s configuration interface, it requires

all users to login with a password. You can set up multiple user accounts, each with their own password.

You are strongly advised to change the password on the default “admin” account when you receive your router, and any time you reset your configuration to Factory Defaults.

 Valid: Check this box to enable this user account.  User: Username of the user account.  Password: Password of the user account  Confirm: Confirm the password of the user account.  Login Mode: When this account logs in, the Web Interface will be in Basic of Advanced

modes.

 Level: To restrict the user account in basic (Normal) or advanced (Super) modes.  Add: Adds a new user account.  Edit: Edit existing user account details. You need to click on the account you want to edit.  Delete: To delete an existing account. Please make sure the tick the delete checkbox.

Mail Alert

Send a log via email, if WAN IP is changed or if intruders accessing your computer without permission.

Server Information

 SMTP Server: Please enter the address of SMTP mail server for your outgoing emails.

This is usually obtained from your ISP.

 Username: Username of your SMTP mail server account.  Password: Password of your SMTP mail server account  Sender’s E-Mail: When the Mail Alert is sent, it will be shown as being sent from this

e-mail address will be shown

WAP IP Change Alert

When your router reconnects to the Internet, the ISP may have given it a new WAN IP address. When this event happens, an alert e-mail is sent.

 Recipient’s E-mail: The e-mail address where the alert email is sent.

Intrusion Detection

When your router detects a Denial of Service in progress, it will send an alert e-mail. Intrusion Detection needs to be activated in the Firewall settings.

 Alert Mail Time: The interval that Intrusion Detection alert e-mails are sent.  Recipient’s E-mail: The e-mail address where the alert email is sent.

Firewall

Firewall and Access Control

Your router includes a full SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall for controlling Internet access from your LAN, as well as helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT (Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet. See the WAN configuration section for more details on NAT.

Firewall: Prevents access from outside your network. NAT natural firewall: This masks LAN users‟ IP addresses, which are invisible to outside

users on the Internet, making it much more difficult for a hacker to target a machine on your network. This natural firewall is on when the NAT function is enabled.

Page 96

Note:

When using Virtual Servers (port mapping) your PCs are exposed to the ports specified opened in your firewall packet filter settings.

 Firewall Security and Policy (General Settings): Inbound direction of Packet Filter

rules prevent unauthorized computers or applications accessing your local network from the Internet.

 Intrusion Detection: Enable Intrusion Detection to detect, prevent, and log malicious

attacks.

 MAC Filter rules: Prevents unauthorized computers accessing the Internet.  URL Filter: Blocks PCs on your local network from unwanted websites.

A detailed explanation of each of the following five items appears in the Firewall section

below: Packet Filter, MAC Filter, Intrusion detection, Block WAN PING and URL Filter.

Page 97

Packet Filter

Packet filtering enables you to configure your router to block specified internal/external users (IP address) from Internet access, or you can disable specific service requests (Port number) to /from Internet. This configuration program allows you to set up to 6 different filter rules for different users based on their IP addresses or their network Port number. The relationship among all filters is “or” operation, which means that the router checks these different filter rules one by one, starting from the first rule. As long as one of the rules is satisfied, the specified action will be taken.

 Rule Name: Users-define description to identify this entry. The maximum name length

is 32 characters, and then can choose application that they want from listbox.

 Internal IP Address / External IP Address: This is the Address-Filter used to allow or

block traffic to/from particular IP address(es). Input the range you want to filter out. If you leave empty or 0.0.0.0, it means any IP address.

 Protocol: Specify the packet type (TCP, UDP, ICMP, etc.) that the rule applies to.  Select TCP if you wish to search for the connection-based application service on the

remote server using the port number. Or select UDP if you want to search for the connectionless application service on the remote server using the port number.

 Action: If a packet matches this filter rule, Forward (allows the packets to pass) or

Drop (disallow the packets to pass) this packet.

 Internal Port: This Port or Port Range defines the ports allowed to be used by the

Remote/WAN to connect to the application. Default is set from range 0 ~ 65535. It is recommended that this option be configured by an advanced user.

Page 98

 External Port: This is the Port or Port Range that defines the application.  Direction: Determine whether the rule is for outgoing packets or for incoming packets.  Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your

prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section.

 Log: Choose “log” if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to a packet.  Add: Click this button to add a new packet filter rule and the added rule will appear at

the bottom table.

 Edit: Check the Rule No. you wish to edit, and then click “Edit”.

 Order: Use the Up and Down arrows to change the order of the entries.  Delete: First check the Delete tick box of the rule you wish to delete, and then click the

“Edit/Delete” button.

If the DHCP server option is enabled, you must be very careful in assigning IP addresses of a filtered private IP range to avoid conflicts because you do not know which PC in the LAN is assigned which IP address. The easiest and safest way is that the filtered IP address is assigned to a specific PC that is not allowed to access an outside resource such as the Internet. You configure the filtered IP address manually for this PC, but it stays in the same subnet with the router.

Page 99

MAC Filter

A MAC (Media Access Control) address is the unique network hardware identifier for each PC on your network‟s interface (i.e. its Network Interface Card or Ethernet card).

Using your router‟s MAC Address Filter function, you can configure to block specific

machines from accessing your LAN.

There are no pre-defined MAC address filter rules; you can add the filter rules to meet your requirements.

 MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses you wish to filter. You can also use the

selection list box on the right if the router has detected this computer.

 Time Schedule: It is self-defined time period. You may specify a time schedule for your

prioritization policy. For setup and detail, refer to Time Schedule section

Intrusion Detection

Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your computer without permission. The router automatically detects and blocks a DoS (Denial of Service) attack.

This kind of attack is not to access confidential data on the network; instead, it aims to disrupt specific equipment functions or the operations of entire network. If this happens, users will have trouble accessing the network resources.

 Intrusion Detection: Check Enable if you wish to detect intruders accessing your

computer without permission.

 Maximum TCP Open Handshaking Count: This is a threshold value to decide

whether a SYN Flood attempt is occurring or not. Default value is 100 TCP SYN per seconds.

 Maximum Ping Count: This is a threshold value to decide whether an ICMP Echo

Storm is occurring or not. Default value is 15 ICMP Echo Requests (PING) per second.

 Maximum ICMP Count: This is a threshold to decide whether an ICMP flood is

occurring or not. Default value is 100 ICMP packets per seconds except ICMP Echo Requests (PING).

 Log: Check Log if you wish to generate logs when the filer rule is applied to the

Intrusion Detection.
