D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router

Position Your Wireless Router

The WiFi DSL modem router lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, place your router:

• Near the

preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.

• So it

• In an

between the WiFi DSL modem router and your other devices to a minimum.

• A

way from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling

fans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, or the base of a cordless phone or

2.4 GHz cordless phone.

• A

way from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal d oor or aluminum studs. Large expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

Note: The D6200 should be put in a vertical position only.

Also be aware that when you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is five channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).

ADSL Microfilters

If this installation is the first time you have cabled a wireless router between an ADSL phone line and your computer or laptop, you might not be familiar with ADSL microfilters. If you are, you can skip this section and proceed to Cable Your D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router on page 20.

An ADSL microfilter is a small inline device that filters ADSL interference out of standard

e equipment that shares a line with your ADSL service. Every telephone device that

phon connects to a telephone line that provides ADSL service needs an ADSL microfilter to filter out the ADSL interference. Examples of devices are telephones, fax machines, answering machines, and caller ID displays. Not every phone line in your home necessarily carries ADSL service. That depends on the ADSL service setup in your home.

Plugs into ADSL line

Plugs into the ADSL line

Note: Often the ADSL microfilter is included in the box with the wireless

modem router. If you purchased the WiFi DSL modem router in a country where a microfilter is not included, you have to acquire the ADSL microfilter separately.

One-Line ADSL Microfilter (Not Included)

Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone. The wireless modem router plugs directly into a separate ADSL line. Plugging the wireless modem router into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection. If you do not have a separate ADSL line for the router, the best thing to do is to use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter.

Figure 6. One-line ADSL microfilter

Second best when you do not have a separate ADSL line for the router is to get a separate splitter. To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into the phone outlet, connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter.

Two-Line ADSL Microfilter (Included)

Use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter when there is a single wall outlet that provides connectivity for both the WiFi DSL modem router and your telephone equipment. Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet, plug your phone equipment into th e jack labele d Pho ne, and plug the wireless modem router into the jack labeled ADSL.

Figure 7. Two-line ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter

Summary

• One-line ADSL microfilter (not included). Use with a phone or fax machine.

Prepare to Set Up the WiFi DSL Modem Router

You can set up your WiFi DSL modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie menus and screens to set up your WiFi DSL modem router manually. However, before you sta rt the setup process, you need to have your ISP infor mation on hand and make sure the laptops, computers, and other devices in the network have the settings described here.

Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP

If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you need to change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Gather ISP Information

If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your WiFi DSL modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service provider (ISP) should have provided you with all of the informa tion needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your WiFi DSL modem router automatically logs you in.

This section presents an overview of the security options use which option. It is also possible to set up a guest network without wireless security. NETGEAR does not recommend using no security on a wireless network.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WP A) encryption is built into all seal. This seal means that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.

WPA-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial dat Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but no t all wire less acce ss poin ts. It is superseded by WPA2-PSK.

WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA. It is advertised t degree of randomness in encryption keys that it generates. WPA2-PSK gets higher speed because it is implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is implemented through software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key.

modem router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall, but allows almost all Internet applications to function.

• Disable SI

Selecting this check box to turn off the SIP ALG might help your VoIP devices to create or accept a call through the router.

3. Click Apply .

Default DMZ Server

The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The WiFi DSL modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.

DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your network.

Incoming traffic from the Internet is discarded by the WiFi DSL modem router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port Forwarding/Port Tr iggering screen. Instead of disca rding this traf fic, you can fo rward it to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.

Change the MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmit s. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If any device in the data path has a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or “fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is of

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication

problems such as the inability to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.

If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500 until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU sizes and applications.

Use the WiFi DSL Modem Router as a DHCP Server

By default, the WiFi DSL modem router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the WiFi DSL modem router. The WiFi DSL modem router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the WiFi DSL modem router are satisfactory.

You can specify the pool of IP addresses that are a and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the WiFi DSL modem router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

Quality of Service Setup

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The WiFi DSL modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection.

WMM (Wireless Multimedia) is a subset of the 802.1 1e to have a range of priorities depending on the type of data. Time -dependent information, such as video and audio, has a higher priority than normal traffic. For WMM to function correctly, wireless clients have to support WMM also.

For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both the application and the client running that application WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.

Firewall Rules

Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP (web server) request.

The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering

ask Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.”

T Service numbers for other applications are typically chose the authors of the application. Although the WiFi DSL modem router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. You can often determine port number information by contacting the publisher of the application, by asking user grou ps or newsgroups, or by searching.
