For example: If you want to allow only the PC at the IP address of
218.88.93.33 from Internet to access Device’s web-based utility
via port: 8080, then configure the same settings as shown on the
screenshot below on your Device.
Note:
1. To access the device via port 8080, enter "http://x.x.x.x:8080"
where "x.x.x.x" represents the the device's Internet IP address
and 8080 is the remote admin port. Assuming the device's
Internet IP address is 220.135.211.56, then, simply replace the
"x.x.x.x" with "220.135.211.56" (namely,
http://220.135.211.56:8080).
Leaving the IP address field at "0.0.0.0" makes the device
remotely accessible to all the PCs on Internet or other external
networks; populating it with a specific IP address, say,
218.88.93.33, makes the device only remotely accessible to the
PC at the specified IP address.

Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
CHAPTER 6 ADVANCED
The "Advanced" tab includes the following 7 submenus:Virtual
Server, DMZ, UPnP, DDNS, Routing, Static Routing and
Bandwidth Settings. Clicking any of them enters corresponding
interface for configuration. Below explains, in details, each such
feature.
6.1 Virtual Server
The Virtual Server feature grants Internet users access to
61
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
services on your LAN. It is useful for hosting online services such
as FTP, Web, or game servers. For each Virtual Server, you
define a WAN port on your router for redirection to an internal
LAN IP Address.
WAN Port: WAN service port;
LAN Port: LAN service port;
Private IP: The IP address of a computer used as a server in
LAN.
Protocol: Includes TCP, UDP and Both. Select “Both” if you
are not sure about which protocol to use.
Enable: The corresponding entry takes effect only if you
checked this option.
Well-Known Service Port: The “Well-Known Service Port”
lists widely used protocol ports. Simply select a port, an entry ID
and click the "Add to" button to populate the selected port to the
corresponding fields of the selected entry. In case that you don’t
find the port you need, enter it manually.
62
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
Example: You want to share some large files with your friends
who are not in your LAN; however it is not convenient to transfer
such large files across network. Then, you can set up your own
PC as a FTP server and use the Virtual server to let your friends
access these files. Assuming that the static IP address of the
FTP server (Namely, your PC) is 192.168.0.10, you want your
friends to access this FTP server on the default port of 21 using
the TCP protocol, then do as follows:
1. Enter 21 in both WAN Port and LAN Port fields or select FTP
from "Well-known Service Port" and an entry ID, 21 will be
automatically populated to corresponding fields of the selected
entry.
2. Enter 192.168.0.10 in the corresponding field, select "TCP"
and then check "Enable” as seen below.
3. Click "Save" to save your settings.
Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in
their browsers to access your FTP server. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the
63
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
router's WAN IP address. Assuming it is 172.16.102.89, then
your friends need to enter "ftp://172.16.102.89: 21" in their
browsers.
Note:
If you include port 80 on this section, you must set the port for
remote (web-based) management to a different number than 80,
such as 8080, otherwise the virtual server feature may not take
effect.
6.2 DMZ
In some cases such as playing Internet games or holding video
conferences, you may need to have your computer completely
exposed to external networks for implementation of a
bidirectional communication. To do so, set it as a DMZ host. Note
that you should assign a static IP address to the PC designated
as a DMZ host (DHCP Server> DHCP Client List> DHCP
Reservation) before using the feature.
DMZ Host IP address: Enter the IP address of a computer
64
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
on your LAN which you want to set as a DMZ host. The DMZ
host should be connected to a LAN port on the Device.
Enable: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the DMZ host
feature.
Note:
1. Once enabled, the DMZ host will no longer be protected by
device's firewall and thus may become vulnerable to attacks.
2. Users on WAN access the DMZ host through a corresponding
WAN IP address.
6.3 UPnP
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows a network device to
discover and connect to other devices on the network. With this
feature enabled, hosts in LAN can request the device to perform
special port forwarding so as to enable external hosts to access
resources on internal hosts.
Enable UPnP: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the UPnP
feature.
UPnP Mapping List: Displays info of external/internal port,
65
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
private (internal) IP, protocol and description, etc.
Note:
Note: UPnP works in Windows XP, Windows ME or later
(NOTE: Operational system needs to be integrated with or
installed with Directx 9.0) or in an environment with installed
application software that supports UPnP.
6.4 DDNS
Dynamic DNS or DDNS is a term used for the updating in real
time of Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. We
use a numeric IP address allocated by Internet Service Provider
(ISP) to connect to Internet; the address may either be stable
("static"), or may change from one session on the Internet to the
next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to
remember; an address which changes unpredictably makes
connection impossible. The DDNS provider allocates a static
host name to the user; whenever the user is allocated a new IP
address this is communicated to the DDNS provider by software
running on a computer or network device at that address; the
provider distributes the association between the host name and
the address to the Internet's DNS servers so that they may
resolve DNS queries. Thus, uninterrupted access to devices and
services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained.
66
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
DDNS Settings: Enable/Disable the DDNS feature.
DDNS Server Provider: Select your DDNS service provider
from the drop-down menu.
User Name: Enter the DDNS user name registered with your
DDNS service provider.
Password: Enter the DDNS Password registered with your
DDNS service provider.
Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name with your
DDNS service provider.
Connection Status: Displays current status of connection
with the DDNS server.
Click "Save" to save your settings.
For example: If you have registered a DDNS service from
no-ip.com for a web server on the host at 192.168.0.10 and get

settings and security key must be exactly the same on both such
devices.
Note that you may need to change one of the router's LAN IP to
avoid an IP address collision. It is advisable to disable the DHCP
server on either of the two routers involved.
7.5 Guest Network
The Guest Network feature allows guests to access Internet and
other users on the guest network while disallowing them to
access Device web manager, users on master network and
clients behind the LAN ports. Thus the wireless master network
is secured. You can find the guest network available in both 2.4G
and 5G networks. Here we present you how to config such
feature on 2.4GHz band, which also applies to 5GHz.
85
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
Select 2.4GHz or 5GHz Guest Network.
Guest Network: Select to enable/disable the guest network
feature.
SSID Broadcast: This option is enabled By default. Select
“Enable”/“Disable” to make your wireless network visible/
invisible to any wireless clients within coverage when they
perform a scan to see what’s available. When disabled,
wireless clients will have to first know this SSID and
manually enter it on their devices if they want to connect to
the SSID.
AP Isolation: If enabled, clients connecting to the guest
network will be mutually inaccessible.
SSID ：A SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the unique name
of a wireless network.
Security Mode: Select a proper security mode to encrypt the
guest network. For details, see section 7.2 hereof.
7.6 Wireless Access Control
The MAC-based Wireless Access Control feature can be used to
allow or disallow clients to connect to your 2.4G or 5G wireless
network. Here we present you how to config such feature in
2.4GHz band, which also applies to 5GHz network.
86

wireless clients (if any).
7.8 Advanced Settings
This section allows you to config advanced settings, including AP
Isolation, Beacon interval，Fragment threshold，RTS threshold
88
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
and DTIM interval, etc, for both 2.4G and 5G wireless networks.
AP Isolation: Isolates clients connecting to master SSID.
Beacon Interval: A time interval between any 2 consecutive
Beacon packets sent by an Access Point to synchronize a
wireless network. Do NOT change the default value of 100
unless necessary.
Fragment Threshold: Specify a Fragment Threshold value.
Any wireless packet exceeding the preset value will be
divided into several fragments before transmission. DO NOT
change the default value of 2346 unless necessary.
RTS Threshold: If a packet exceeds such set value,
RTS/CTS scheme will be used to reduce collisions. Set it to
a smaller value provided that there are distant clients and
interference. For normal SOHO, it is recommended to keep
the default value unchanged; otherwise, device performance
may be degraded.
89
Wireless AC1750 Dual-band Gigabit Router
DTIM Interval: A DTIM (Delivery Traffic Indication Message)
Interval is a countdown informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages. When
such packets arrive at device’s buffer, the device will send
DTIM (delivery traffic indication message) and DTIM interval
to wake clients up for receiving these packets.
