Chapter 6 DHCP
6.1 DHCP Settings
The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is an automatic
configuration protocol used on IP networks. If you enable the built-in DHCP
server on the device, it will automatically configure the TCP/IP settings for all
your LAN computers (including IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS etc),
eliminating the need of manual intervention. Just be sure to set all computers on
your LAN to be DHCP clients by selecting "Obtain an IP Address Automatically"
respectively on each such PC. When turned on, these PCs will automatically load
IP information from the DHCP server.
Enable DHCP Server: Check or uncheck the box to enable or disable the
device’s DHCP server feature.
Start/End IP:Enter the starting/ending IP address for the DHCP server’s IP
assignment.
Lease Time: The length of time for the IP address lease.
51
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power Router
6.2 DHCP Client List

addresses from the device’s DHCP Server. If you would like some devices on your
network to get the same IP addresses always, you can use this feature and
manually add a static DHCP Reservation entry for each such device.
IP Address: Enter the IP address for static DHCP reservation.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC address of a computer to always receive the same
IP address (the IP you just specified).
Host Name: Displays host name of the PC that get IP address from the DHCP
server.

Chapter 7 Virtual Server
7.1 Port Range Forwarding
Start/End Port: Enter the number or range of port(s) used by the server or
Internet applications.
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.
Delete: Click to remove a corresponding entry/rule.
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.
53
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power 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 Port Range
Forwarding feature 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 Start Port and End 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 private field, select "TCP" and then select "Enable'.
54
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power Router
3. 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 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 Port Range Forwarding feature may not take
effect.
7.2 DMZ Host
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 (fixed) IP
address to the PC designated as a DMZ host (DHCP Server> DHCP Client List>
DHCP Reservation (also known as Static Assignment on some products)) before
using the feature. Enter the static IP address of the PC on your LAN which you
want to set as a DMZ host. Enabling DMZ host may expose your local network to
potential attacks. So it is advisable to use it with caution.
55
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power Router
DMZ Host IP Address: Enter the IP address of computer on your LAN which you
want to set to be DMZ host.
Enable: Check/uncheck to enable/disable the DMZ host feature.
For example:
To set a PC at 192.168.0.100 to a DMZ host for intercommunication with another
host on the Internet, configure the same settings as shown on the screenshot on
the device.
Note:
Once enabled, the DMZ host loses protection from device's firewall and
becomes vulnerable to attacks.
56
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power Router

Chapter 9 Routing Settings
9.1 Routing Table
This page displays the router’s routing table which lists destination IP, subnet
mask, gateway, hop count and interface.
The principal task for a router is to look for an optimal transfer path for data
forwarding, and transfer it to the specified destination. To complete this work,
the router stores and maintains related data of various transfer paths, i.e.
establishing a routing table, for future route selection.
67
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power Router
9.2 Static Routing
When there are several routers in the network, you may want to set up static
routing. Static routing determines the path of the data in your network. You can
use this feature to allow users on different IP domains to access the Internet via
this device. It is not recommended to use this setting unless you are familiar with
static routing. In most cases, dynamic routing is recommended, because this
feature allows the router to detect the physical changes of the network layout
automatically. If you want to use static routing, make sure the router’s DHCP
function is disabled.
Destination IP: The IP network segment of destination network.
Subnet Mask: Enter the Subnet Mask that corresponds to the specified IP
network.
Gateway: The IP address for next hop.
Note:
1. Gateway must be on the same IP net segment as device's LAN/WAN IP
address.
2. Subnet Mask must be entered 255.255.255.255 if destination IP address is a
host.
3. Subnet Mask must be entered accordingly if destination IP address
represents an IP network segment. It must correspond to the specified IP
address.
For example: Destination IP: 10.0.0.0,Subnet Mask: 255.0.0.0.

Appendix 1 Glossary
Channel
A communication channel, also known as channel, refers either to a physical
transmission medium such as a wire or to a logical connection over a multiplexed
medium such as a radio channel. It is used to transfer an information signal, such
as a digital bit stream, from one or more transmitters to one or more receivers.
If there is only one AP in the range, select any channel you like. The default is
Auto.
If there are several APs coexisting in the same area, it is advisable that you select
a different channel for each AP to operate on, minimizing the interference
between neighboring APs. For example, if 3 American- standard APs coexist in
one area, you can set their channels respectively to 1, 6 and 11 to avoid mutual
interference.
SSID
Service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a particular 802.11 wireless LAN.
It is the name of a specific wireless network. To let your wireless network adapter
roam among different APs, you must set all Aps’ SSID to the same name.
WPA/WPA2
The WPA protocol implements the majority of the IEEE 802.11i standard. It
enhances data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP)
which is a 128-bit per-packet key, meaning that it dynamically generates a new
key for each packet. WPA also includes a message integrity check feature to
prevent data packets from being hampered with. Only authorized network users
can access the wireless network.
The later WPA2 protocol features compliance with the full IEEE 802.11i standard
and uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) in addition to TKIP encryption
protocol to guarantee better security than that provided by WEP or WPA.
Currently, WPA is supported by Windows XP SP1.

Appendix 3 Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to problems that may occur during installation
and operation of the device. Read the following if you are running into problems.
If your problem is not covered here, please feel free to go to www.tendacn.com
to find a solution or email your problems to support@tenda.com.cn
orsupport02@tenda.com.cn. We will be more than happy to help you out as soon
as possible.
1. Q: I entered the device’s LAN IP address in the web browser but
cannot access the utility. What should I do?
Check whether device is functioning correctly. The Sys LED should blink a few
seconds after device is powered up. If it does not light up, then some internal
faults may have occurred.
Verify physical connectivity by checking whether a corresponding port’s link
LED lights up. If not, try a different cable. Note that an illuminated light does NOT
ALWAYS indicate successful connectivity.
Run the "ping 192.168.0.1" command. If you get replies from 192.168.0.1,
open your browser and verify that Proxy server is disabled. In case that ping fails,
press and hold the "RESET" button on your device for 7 seconds to restore factory
default settings, and then run "ping192.168.0.1" again.
4) Contact our technical support for help if the problem still exists after you
tried all the above.
2. Q: What should I do if I forget the login password to my device?
A: Reset your device by pressing the Reset button for over 7 seconds. Note:
All settings will be deleted and restored to factory defaults once you pressed the
Reset button.
3. Q: My computer shows an IP address conflict error after having
connected to the device. What should I do?
A: 1) Check if there are other DHCP servers present in your LAN. If there are
other DHCP servers except your router, disable them immediately.
2) The default IP address of the device is 192.168.0.1; make sure this
address is not used by another PC or device. In case that two computers or
devices share the same IP addresses, change either to a different address.
79
3W3002R Wireless N300 High Power Router
4. Q: I cannot access Internet and send/receive emails; what should I
do?
This problem mainly happens to users who use the PPPoE or Dynamic IP
Internet connection type. You need to change the MTU size (1492 by default).
In this case, go to “WAN Settings” to change the MTU value from default 1480
to 1450 or 1400, etc.
5. Q: How do I share resources on my computer with users on Internet
through the device?
A: To let Internet users access internal servers on your LAN such as e-mail
server, Web, FTP, via the device, use the "Virtual Server" feature. To do so, follow
steps below:
Step 1: Create your internal server, make sure the LAN users can access
these servers and you need to know related service ports, for example, port for
Web server is 80; FTP is 21; SMTP is 25 and POP3 is 110.
Step 2: Enter Port Forwarding (also called Port Range Forwarding on some
products) screen from device web UI.
Step 3: Complete the Start Port (also called External/Ext Port on some
products) and End Port (also called Internal/Int Port on some products) fields,
say, 80-80.
Step 4: Input the internal server’s IP address. For example, assuming that
your Web server’s IP address is 192.168. 0.10, then simply input it.
Select a proper protocol type: TCP, UDP, or Both depending on which
protocol(s) your internal host is using.
Click Enable and save your settings.
