4.2.3.5 WAN Access Type – Static IP

Choose Static IP Address if all WAN IP information is provided to you by your ISP. You will need to enter the IP address, IP Netmask and IP gateway as provided. Each entered fields must be in the appropriate IP form, which are four IP octets separated by a dot (x.x.x.x). The Router will not accept the IP address if it is not in this format. Fill in the DNS information provided by your ISP; otherwise, Domain Name can’t be used.

In particular, here provides 3G or 3.5G transmission rate when the 3.5G adapter is plugged, just check to apply for the backup. In other words, once Static IP connection is disconnected, the system automatically connects Internet via 3.5G adapter. If 3.5G signal is not available, it starts to search downward for 3/2.75/2.5G signals until none existed. The default interval between the two connection detection is 3 minutes. The interval range is from 1 to 60 minutes.

The 3.5G feature is working as mutual backup for other 3 WAN Types, and the required information is listed as follows, such as user name, password and SIM PIN etc. That is, setting up the interval time to auto detect whether the Internet connection is lost or not. If yes, the system immediately switches to 3.5G Internet connection and will disconnect automatically when the original Static IP connection recovers.

Note: 128 bits WEP is most secure, but has more encryption/decryption overhead. Note that all wireless devices

must support the same WEP encryption bit size and have the same key. Four keys can be entered here, but only one key can be selected at a time. The keys can be entered in ASCII or Hexadecimal. Select the item from drop-down list you wish to use.

Encryption Key: At most four keys can be set. A WEP key is either 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits (0~9, a~f, and A~F) based on whether you select 64 bit or 128 bit in the WEP drop-down list.

3. Encryption – WPA(WPA, WPA2 & WPAMixed)

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) is an easy way to establish a secured wireless network

between N+ Broadband Router and wireless card. Users do not need to manually entering a creative, yet predictable security key on both Wi-Fi devices to prevent unwanted access to their wireless network. With WPS, it can automatically configure a wireless network with a network name (SSID) and strong WPAdata encryption and authentication.

WPS can be enabled by 2 methods:

1. PBC (Push button configuration) Method, in which the user simply has to push a button, either an actual or a virtual one, on both WPS devices to connect.

2. PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method, in which a PIN has to be taken either from a sticker label or from the web interface of the WPS device. This PIN will then be entered in the AP or client WPS device to connect.

Please follow instructions below to enable the WPS function.

Start PBC:

(1.) Press the WPS button from N+ Broadband Router or click Start PBC from menu

“Wi-Fi Protected Setup”, and waiting for the WPS wireless card setting.

(2.) Open the “Wireless Utility”of your wireless card, and click its “PBC”button, to start

auto pairing.

5.3 NAT

NAT is a method of mapping one or more IP addresses and/or services ports into different specified services, where NAT stands for Network Address Translation. It allows the internal IP addresses of many computers on a Local Area Network (LAN) to be translated to one public address, saving users’ cost. It also plays a security role by obscuring the true IP addresses of important machines from potential hackers on the Internet. For convenience, we called a router having the NATfacility as a NAT-enabled router.

Then, add the IP address and network protocol type, port number, and name of the service in the following list. Based on the list, the gateway will forward service request from outside users to the corresponding local server.

Quality of Service (QoS) refers to the capability of a network to provide better service to selected network traffic over various technologies, including Frame Relay, Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM), Ethernet and 802.1x networks, and IP-routed networks that may use any or all of these underlying technologies. The primary goal of QoS is to provide priority

including dedicated bandwidth, controlled jitter and latency (required by some real-time and interactive traffic), and improved loss characteristics.
