This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NBG-419N.
The NBG-419N extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11b/g/n compatible devices.
A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing. You can use media bandwidth management to efficiently manage traffic on your network. Bandwidth management features allow you to prioritize time-sensitive or highly important applications such as Voice over the Internet (VoIP).
Your can create the following networks using the NBG-419N:
•Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the NBG419N so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet.
•Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the NBG-419N to access network resources.
•WAN. Connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access.

Chapter 1 Getting to Know Your NBG-419N
Use any of the following methods to manage the NBG-419N.
•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NBG419N using a (supported) web browser.
•Wireless switch. You can use the built-in switch of the NBG-419N to turn the wireless function on and off without opening the Web Configurator.
•WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) button. You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL Device.
1.4Good Habits for Managing the NBG-419N
Do the following things regularly to make the NBG-419N more secure and to manage the NBG-419N more effectively.
•Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.
•Write down the password and put it in a safe place.
•Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NBG-419N to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG-419N. You could simply restore your last configuration.

This chapter provides information on the wizard setup screens in the Web Configurator.
The Web Configurator’s wizard setup helps you configure your device to access the Internet. Refer to your ISP for your Internet account information. Leave a field blank if you don’t have that information.
Launch your web browser and type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address. Type "1234" (default) as the password and click Login.
Note: The Wizard appears when the NBG-419N is accessed for the first time or when you reset the NBG-419N to its default factory settings.
The Wizard screen opens. Choose your Language and click Connect to
Internet.

Chapter 2 Connection Wizard
The NBG-419N offers five Internet connection types. They are Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using.
Figure 4 Detecting your Internet Connection Type
If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list box. Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type.
Note: If you get an error message, check your hardware connections. Make sure your Internet connection is up and running.
The following screen depends on your Internet connection type. Enter the details provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the fields (if any).

DNS (Domain Name System) is for mapping a domain name to |

extremely important because without it, you must know the IP |

uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to |

resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server. |

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host

personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks.
For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS).
One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.
Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/ carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.
By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG-419N (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG-419N does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.

Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables transfers of data from a remote client to a private server, creating a Virtual Private Network (VPN) using TCP/IP-based networks.
PPTP supports on-demand, multi-protocol, and virtual private networking over public networks, such as the Internet.
Refer to the appendix for more information on PPTP.
The NBG-419N supports one PPTP server connection at any given time.
