4 Advanced Applications
4.1 Bandwidth Control
If there are multiple PCs behind your router competing for limited bandwidth
resource, then you can use this feature to specify a reasonable amount of bandwidth
for each such PC, so that no one will be over stuffed or starved to death. Click
Advanced -> Bandwidth Control to enter the bandwidth control screen.
Tip ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. 1M=128KByte/s.
2. The volume of uplink traffic/downlink traffic should not be larger than that
allowed on the router's WAN (Internet) port. You can ask your ISP to provide the
volume of Internet traffic.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bandwidth Control Application Example:
If you share a 4M-broadband service with your neighbor. He always downloads a
large volume of data from Internet, which sharply frustrates your Internet surfing
experience; you can use this feature to set limits for the volume of Internet traffic
he can get. For example, you can split the 4M into two, so your neighbor can only
use up to 2M Internet traffic and you can enjoy 2M. (Assuming the IP address of
your neighbor's PC is 192.168.0.100. 2M=256KByte/s)
Configuration Procedures:
① Click Advanced -> Bandwidth Control.
② Click Add Bandwidth Control Rule.
79
High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router
③ Enter 192.168.0.100 in the IP Range fields.
④ Enter 32 in the Uplink Bandwidth field.
⑤ Enter 256 in the Downlink Bandwidth field.
⑥ Click Save to save your settings.

⑦ Click Reboot on the appearing screen to reboot the router.
⑧ System returns to the bandwidth control screen after reboot. You can view
the rule you just add. Also you can click Edit to edit the rule or Delete to
delete the rule. You can also add more rules.
4.3 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
81
High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router
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.
Click Advanced -> DDNS to enter the DDNS screen.
Tip ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
1. To use the DDNS feature, you need to have an account with one of the Service
Providers in the drop-down menu first.
2. This router supports five DDNS service providers: 88ip.cn3322.org, gnway,
dyndns and no-ip.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DDNS Application Example:
If your ISP gave you a dynamic (changing) public IP address, you want to access
your router remotely but you cannot predict what your router's WAN IP address
will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a
commercial Dynamic DNS service. It lets you register your domain to their IP
address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP
address.
82

If you obtain the following account from your dyndns.org service provider:
User Name: tenda
Password: 123456
Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org.
And you want to use the PC at 218.88.93.33 to remotely access this router on port
number 8090.
Configuration Procedures:
① DDNS Service: Select Enable.
② Service Provider: Select your DDNS service provider from the drop-down
menu. Here in this example, select dyndns.
③ User Name: Enter the DDNS user name registered with your DDNS service
provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.
④ Password: Enter the DDNS Password registered with your DDNS service
provider. Here in this example, enter 123456.
⑤ Domain Name: Enter the DDNS domain name with your DDNS service
provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.dyndns.org.
⑥ Click Save to save your settings.
⑦ Click Security -> Remote Web Management, enable the Remote Web
Management feature, enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.88.93.33 in the IP Address
83
High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router
field and then click Save to save your settings.
⑧ Click Reboot on the appearing screen to reboot the router.
Now you can access the router from the Internet by entering
http://tenda.dyndns.org:8090 in your browser.
4.1 Virtual Server
You want to share resources on your PC with your friends who are not in your LAN.
But, by default, the router's firewall blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to
your computers except replies to your outbound traffic. You can use the Virtual
Server feature to create exceptions to this rule so that your friends can access these
files from external networks.
Click Advanced -> Virtual Server to enter the configuration screen.
84
High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router
Application Example:
As shown in the diagram above, your PC (PC1: 192.168.0.100) connects to the
router and runs a FTP server on port number 21. Your friend (PC3) wants to access
the FTP server on your PC.
Tip ------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
1. Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP address.
Private IP addresses are not routed on the Internet.
2. Make sure you enter correct service port numbers.
3. To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, assign a
static IP address to your PC.
4. Operating System built-in firewall and some anti-virus programs may block
other PCs from accessing resources on your PC. So it is advisable to disable them
before using this feature.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
85
High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router
Configuration Procedures:
① Ext Port: Enter the external port number for the public ports at the
Internet interface. Here in this example, enter 21.
Int Port: Enter the internal port number for the private ports at the computer on
the r out er’s local area ne twork (LAN ). Here in this exa mp le, ente r 21.
② Internal IP: Enter the IP address of your local computer that will provide
this service. Here in this example, enter 192.168.0.100.
③ Protocol: Specify the protocol required for the service utilizing the
port(s).
④ Check Enable to activate this rule.
⑤ Click Save to save your settings.
Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21in 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://202.33.56.88:21 in their browsers.
86
High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
If you use the port number 80 here, you must set the port number for remote web
management (Click Tools -> Remote Web Management) to any port number
excluding 80 to avoid collision. Otherwise the port forwarding feature may not be
effective.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4.2 DMZ Host
The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for one
device for a special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing
applications that are not compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation).
Click Advanced -> DMZ Host to enter the DMZ Host screen.
Note --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. DMZ host poses a security risk. A computer configured as the DMZ host loses
much of the protection of the firewall and becomes vulnerable to attacks from
external networks.
2. Hackers may use the DMZ host computer to attack other computers on your
network.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Configuration Procedures:
① Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host.
② DMZ Host IP Address: The IP Address of the device for which the
route r ’s firewall w ill be disab led. Be s ure to st atically set the IP Ad dre ss of that
device for this function to be consistent.
