Service (QoS), to redistribute traffic over the NBG6716 for the best possible performance in a home network. There are two USB 2.0 ports on the side panel of your NBG6716. You can connect USB (version 2.0 or lower) memory sticks, USB hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The NBG6716 automatically detects the USB devices.
Page 13: Dual-Band
Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1.1 Dual-Band The NBG6716 is a dual-band AP and able to function both 2.4G and 5G networks at the same time. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming.
Page 14: Good Habits For Managing The Nbg6716
If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NBG6716 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6716.

Page 108: Dhcp Server
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the NBG6716’s LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the NBG6716 provides the TCP/IP configuration for the clients.
Page 109: Dhcp Server General Screen
Enable the DHCP server unless your ISP instructs you to do otherwise. Select Disable to stop the NBG6716 acting as a DHCP server. When configured as a server, the NBG6716 provides TCP/IP configuration for the clients. If not, DHCP service is disabled and you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computers must be manually configured.

You assign the LAN IP addresses to the devices (A to D) connected to your NBG6716. The ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet. All traffic coming from A to D going out to the Internet use the IP address of the NBG6716, which is 192.168.1.1.
Page 114: What You Need To Know
The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. Inside/Outside This denotes where a host is located relative to the NBG6716, for example, the computers of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts.
Page 115: General
If you do not define any servers, NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. With no servers defined, your NBG6716 filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing your network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT).

Type a port number or the ending port number in a range of port numbers. Trigger The trigger port is a port (or a range of ports) that causes (or triggers) the NBG6716 to record the IP address of the LAN computer that sent the traffic to a server on the WAN.
Page 120: Technical Reference
Chapter 14 NAT 14.5 Technical Reference The following section contains additional technical information about the NBG6716 features described in this chapter. 14.5.1 NATPort Forwarding: Services and Port Numbers A port forwarding set is a list of inside (behind NAT on the LAN) servers, for example, web or FTP, that you can make accessible to the outside world even though NAT makes your whole inside network appear as a single machine to the outside world.
Page 121: Trigger Port Forwarding
Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The NBG6716 records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the NBG6716's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol ("incoming"...

Firewall 17.1 Overview Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG6716 and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic. Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access between the LAN and WAN.
Page 129 (click the General tab under Firewall and then click the Enable Firewall check box). The NBG6716's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The NBG6716 can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network.

The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the file path is news/pressroom.php. Since the NBG6716 checks the URL’s domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it will not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/...
