2. 1. Position Your Modem Router

With the modem router, you can access your network from anywhere within the wireless network coverage. However, the wireless signal strength and coverage varies depending on the environment your modem router is in. Obstacles may limit the range of the wireless signal, for example, concrete structures, thick walls.

For best Wi-Fi performance, and to keep your network secure:

• Do not locate the modem router in a place where it will be exposed to moisture or excessive heat.

• Keep the product away from strong electromagnetic radiation and devices that emit electromagnetic waves.

• Place the modem router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to a power source.

• Make sure the cables and power cord are safely placed out of the way so they do not create a tripping hazard.

NAT Forwarding

Modem router’s NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes the devices in the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate in the internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that external host cannot initiatively communicate with the specified device in the local network.

The modem router can use a forwarding feature to remove the isolation of NAT and allow external internet hosts to intuitively communicate with the devices in the local network, thus enabling some special features.

TP-Link modem router includes four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ.

This chapter contains the following sections:

Translate Address and Port by ALG

•

• Share Local Resources over the Internet by Virtual Server

• Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

• Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ

• Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP

Chapter 13

NAT Forwarding

13. 1. Translate Address and Port by ALG

ALG (Application Layer Gateway) allows customized NAT (Network Address Translation) traversal filters to be plugged into the gateway to support address and port translation for certain application layer “control/data” protocols: FTP, TFTP, H323 etc. Enabling ALG is recommended.

1. Visit

2. Go to

http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

Advanced > NAT Forwarding > ALG.

• PPTP Pass-through: If enabled, it allows Point-to-Point sessions to be tunneled through an IP network and passed through the router.

L2TP Pass-through: If enabled, it allows Layer 2 Point-to-Point sessions to be tunneled

• through an IP network and passed through the router.

•

IPSec Pass-through: If enabled, it allows IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) to

be tunneled through an IP network and passed through the router. IPSec uses cryptographic security services to ensure private and secure communications over IP networks.

•

FTP ALG: If enabled, it allows FTP (File Transfer Protocol) clients and servers to transfer

data via NAT.

•

TFTP ALG: If enabled, it allows TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol) clients and servers

to transfer data via NAT.

• H323 ALG: If enabled, it allows Microsoft NetMeeting clients to communicate via NAT.

•

SIP ALG: If enabled, it allows clients communicate with SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)

servers via NAT.

Chapter 13

NAT Forwarding

• RTSP ALG: If enabled, it allows RTSP (Real-Time Stream Protocol) clients and servers to transfer data via NAT.

13. 2. Share Local Resources over the Internet by

Virtual Server

When you build up a server in the local network and want to share it on the internet, Virtual Server can realize the service and provide it to the internet users. At the same time virtual server can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the internet.

Virtual server can be used for setting up public services in your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different service uses different service port. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port 110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration.

I want to:

Share my personal website I’ve built in a local network with my friends through the internet.

For example, the personal website has been built on my home PC (192.168.1.100). I

hope that my friends can visit my website. The PC is connected to the modem router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154.

Personal Website

Home

Modem Router

LAN

WAN: 218.18.232.154

How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.

2. Visit http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

3. Go to

Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers, click Add.

Chapter 13

NAT Forwarding

4. Click Scan, and choose HTTP. The external port, internal port and protocol will be

automatically filled with contents. Enter the PC’s IP address 192.168.1.100 in the

Internal IP field.

5. Click Save to save the settings.

Tips:

1. It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and

protocol to use.

2. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the corresponding parameters manually. You

should verify the port number that the service needs.

3. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services from a modem router. Please note that

the External Por t cannot be overlapped.

Done!

Internet users can enter your personal website.

Tips:

1. For a WAN IP that is assigned dynamically by ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the

WAN by DDNS, go to Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account for more information. Then you can use http://domain

name to visit the website.

2. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http://WAN IP: External Port or http://domain name:

External Port to visit the website.

http://WAN IP (in this example: http://218.18.232.154) to visit

13. 3. Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering

Port triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When a host in the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The modem router can record the IP

Chapter 13

NAT Forwarding

address of the host. When the data from the internet returns to the external ports, the modem router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs and video players. Common applications include MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad, Quick Time 4 players, and so on.

Follow the steps below to configure the port triggering rules:

1. Visit

http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

2. Go to

Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add.

3. Click Scan, and select the desired application. The triggering port and protocol, the

external port and protocol will be automatically filled with contents. Here we take

MSN Gaming Zone as an example.

4. Click Save to save the settings.

Tips:

1. You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need.

2. If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually. You

should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into External Port field according to the

format the page displays.

13. 4. Make Applications Free from Port Restriction

by DMZ

When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host in the local network, it is totally exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication

Chapter 13

between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, like IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host.

Note:

DMZ is most applicable when you don’t know which ports to open. When it is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed

to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazard. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time.

NAT Forwarding

I want to:

Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction.

For example, Due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can

login normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ with all ports opened.

How can I do that?

1. Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.1.100.

2. Visit

3. Go to

4. Enter the IP address 192.168.1.100 in the DMZ Host IP Address filed.

5. Click Save to save the settings.

http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select the checkbox to enable DMZ.

Done!

The configuration is completed. You’ve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can make a team to game with other players.

13. 5. Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by

UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows the applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices in the both sides of NAT device can freely communicate with each other realizing the

Chapter 13

NAT Forwarding

seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (for example, VoIP or telephone conference), or remote assistance.

Tips:

1. UPnP is enabled by default in this modem router.

2. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature.

3. UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of

operating system need to install the UPnP components).

For example, when you connect your Xbox to the modem router which has connected to

the internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the modem router to open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch.

Chapter 14

VPN Server

The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network in a secured way through the internet when you are out of the house. The router offers three ways to setup VPN connection: OpenVPN, PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN and IPSec (Internet Protocol Security) VPN.

OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and more stability. It is suitable for restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet.

PPTP VPN is easier to use and its speed is faster. It’s compatible with most operating systems and also supports mobile devices. However, its security is poor and packets may be cracked easily. PPTP VPN may be blocked by some ISPs.

IPSec (IP Security) is a set of services and protocols defined by IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) to provide high security for IP packets and prevent attacks.

This chapter introduces how to change the default settings or adjust the basic configuration of the modem router using the web management page.

It contains the following sections:

•

LAN Settings

• IPv6 LAN Settings

• Wireless Settings

• Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account

• Create Static Routes

• Set Up the IPv6 Tunnel

Chapter 15

Specify Your Network Settings

15. 1. LAN Settings

15. 1. 1. Change the LAN IP Address

The modem router is preset with a default LAN IP 192.168.1.1, which you can use to log in to its web management page. The LAN IP address together with the Subnet Mask also defines the subnet that the connected devices are on. If the IP address conflicts with another device in your local network or your network requires a specific IP subnet, you can change it.

Follow the steps below to change your IP address.

1. Visit

http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

2. Go to

Note:

If you have created an interface group, you can configure different IPv4 LAN settings for the default and created interface

groups.

Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.

3. Type in a new IP Address appropriate to your needs.

4. Select the

Subnet Mask from the drop-down list. The subnet mask together with

the IP address identifies the local IP subnet.

5. Keep

IGMP Snooping enabled by default. IGMP snooping is the process of listening

to IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) network traffic. The function prevents hosts on a local network from receiving traffic for a multicast group they have not explicitly joined.

6. You can configure the modem router’s

Second IP and Subnet Mask for LAN interface

through which you can also access the web management page.

7. Leave the rest of the default settings as they are.

8. Click Save to make the settings effective.

15. 1. 2. Use the Modem Router as a DHCP Server

You can configure the modem router to act as a DHCP server to assign IP addresses to its clients. To use the DHCP server function of the modem router, you must configure all computers on the LAN to obtain an IP Address automatically.

Follow the steps below to configure DHCP server.

1. Visit

http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

2. Go to

Note:

If you have created an interface group, you can configure different IPv4 LAN settings for the default and created interface

groups.

Advanced > Network > LAN Settings page and select IPv4.

3. Select DHCP to enable the DHCP function and select DHCP Server.

4. Specify the

IP Address Pool, the start address and end address must be on the

same subnet with LAN IP. The modem router will assign addresses within this specified range to its clients. It is from 192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.199 by default.

5. Enter a value for the

Address Lease Time. The Address Lease Time is the amount of

time in which a DHCP client can lease its current dynamic IP address assigned by the modem router. After the dynamic IP address expires, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 1440 minutes.

6. Keep the rest of the settings as default and click

Note:

1. The modem router can be configured to work as a DHCP Relay. A DHCP relay is a computer that forwards DHCP data

between computers that request IP addresses and the DHCP server that assigns the addresses. Each of the device’s

interfaces can be configured as a DHCP relay. If it is enabled, the DHCP requests from local PCs will be forwarded to

the DHCP server that runs on WAN side.

2. You can also appoint IP addresses within a specified range to devices of the same type by using Condition Pool

feature. For example, you can assign IP addresses within the range (192.168.1.50 to192.168.1.80) to Camera devices,

thus facilitating the network management. Enable DHCP feature and configure the parameters according to your

situation on the

Chapter 15

• Network Destination: The destination IP address that you want to assign to a static route. This IP address cannot be on the same subnet with the WAN IP or LAN IP of the router. In the example, the IP address of the company network is the destination IP address, so here enters 172.30.30.1.

Specify Your Network Settings

•

Subnet Mask: Determines the destination network with the destination IP

address. If the destination is a single IP address, enter 255.255.255.255; otherwise, enter the subnet mask of the corresponding network IP. In the example, the destination network is a single IP, so here enters 255.255.255.255.

Gateway: The IP address of the gateway device to which the data packets

• will be sent. This IP address must be on the same subnet with the router’s IP which sends out the data. In the example, the data packets will be sent to the LAN port of Router 2 and then to the Server, so the default gateway should be

192.168.1.2.

•

Interface: Determined by the port (WAN/LAN) that sends out the data packets.

In the example, the data is sent to the gateway through the LAN port, so LAN should be selected.

5. Select the check box to enable this entry.

6. Click

Save to save the settings.

Done!

Open a web browser on your PC. Enter the company server’s IP address to visit the company network.

15. 6. Set Up the IPv6 Tunnel

The IPv6 Tunnel feature helps you obtain IPv6 resources based on an IPv4 WAN connection or vice versa.

Chapter 15

Specify Your Network Settings

IPv6 Tunnel is a transition mechanism that allows isolated IPv6 hosts and networks to reach each other over IPv4-only infrastructure before IPv6 completely supplants IPv4. It is a temporary solution for networks that do not support native dual-stack, where both IPv6 and IPv4 run independently.

The modem router provides three tunneling mechanisms:

6to4, 6rd and DS-Lite. The

way to set up 6rd and DS-Lite tunnel are similar.

15. 6. 1. Use the Public IPv6 Tunnel Service-6to4

The 6to4 tunnel is a kind of public service. If there are any 6to4 servers on your network, you can use this mechanism to access IPv6 service. If your ISP provides you with an IPv4-only connection but you want to visit IPv6 websites, you can try to set up a 6to4 tunnel.

I want to:

Set up the IPv6 tunnel though my ISP doesn’t provide me with the tunnel service.

How can I do that?

1. Visit

2. Go to

3. Tick the check box, select 6to4 as the tunneling mechanism and select a WAN

http://tplinkmodem.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you

set for the router.

Advanced > Network > IPv6 Tunnel.

connection from the drop-down list, then click

Save.

Note:

If there is no available WAN connection to choose, make sure you have connected to the internet and the connection

type is not Bridge.

Done!

Now you can visit the IPv6 websites with the 6to4 tunnel.

Note:

Still not being able to access IPv6 resources means that not any 6to4 public server was found in your network. You can

contact your ISP to sign up for IPv6 connection service.
