  • Page 3 BASIC HELP • Wizard • • Network • DHCP • Wireless (Wi-Fi) WIZARD Setup Wizard If you are new to networking and have never configured a router before, click on Setup Wizard and the router will guide you through a few simple steps to get your network up and running.
  • Page 4 Use Unicasting: This option is normally turned off, and should remain off as long as the WAN-side DHCP server correctly provides an IP address to the router. However, if the router cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server may be one that works better with unicast responses.
  • Page 5 PPTP Server IP Address: The ISP provides this parameter, if necessary. The value may be the same as the Gateway IP Address. Reconnect Mode: Typically PPTP connections are not always on. The router allows you to set the reconnection mode. The settings are: •...
  • Page 6 MTU: The Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) is a parameter that determines the largest packet size (in bytes) that the router will send to the WAN. If LAN devices send larger packets, the router will break them into smaller packets. Ideally, you should set this to match the MTU of the connection to your ISP.
  • Page 7 DNS Relay When DNS Relay is enabled, the router plays the role of a DNS server. DNS requests sent to the router are forwarded to the ISP's DNS server. This provides a constant DNS address that LAN computers can use, even when the router obtains a different DNS server address from the ISP upon re-establishing the WAN connection.
  • Page 8 RIP Password RIP Version 2 supports the use of a password to limit access to routers through the RIP protocol. If the ISP or other LAN router requires a RIP password, enter the password here. DHCP DHCP Server Settings DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. The DHCP section is where you configure the built-in DHCP Server to assign IP addresses to the computers and other devices on your local area network (LAN).
  • Page 9 Example: Suppose you configure the DHCP Server to manage addresses From 192.168.0.100 To 192.168.0.199. This means that 192.168.0.3 to 192.168.0.99 and 192.168.0.200 to 192.168.0.254 are NOT managed by the DHCP Server. Computers or devices that use addresses from these ranges are to be manually configured. Suppose you have a web server computer that has a manually configured address of 192.168.0.100.
  • Page 10 NetBIOS Scope This is an advanced setting and is normally left blank. This allows the configuration of a NetBIOS 'domain' name under which network hosts operate. This setting has no effect if the 'Learn NetBIOS information from WAN' is activated. NetBIOS Registration mode Indicates how network hosts are to perform NetBIOS name registration and discovery.
  • Page 11 Add/Edit DHCP Reservation This option lets you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router.

  • Page 12: Wireless (Wi-Fi)

    Save/Update Record the changes you have made into the following list. Clear Re-initialize this area of the screen, discarding any changes you have made. DHCP Reservations List This shows clients that you have specified to have reserved DHCP addresses. Click the Enable checkbox at the left to directly activate or de-activate the entry.
  • Page 13 Require User Login This option turns off and on the user login feature of the router. When you enable this option a wireless user must enter a password to gain access to the the internet. It will also limit internet access to only 32 simultaneous clients. Wireless Network Name When you are browsing for available wireless networks, this is the name that will appear in the list (unless Visibility Status is set to Invisible, see below).
  • Page 14 A method of encrypting data for wireless communication intended to provide the same level of privacy as a wired network. WEP is not as secure as WPA encryption. To gain access to a WEP network, you must know the key. The key is a string of characters that you create.
  • Page 15 WPA-Personal This option uses Wi-Fi Protected Access with a Pre-Shared Key (PSK). Pre-Shared Key: The key is entered as a pass-phrase of up to 63 alphanumeric characters in ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) format at both ends of the wireless connection. It cannot be shorter than eight characters, although for proper security it needs to be of ample length and should not be a commonly known phrase.

  • Page 17 IP Address The IP address of the system on your internal network that will provide the virtual service, for example 192.168.0.50. You can select a computer from the list of DHCP clients in the "Computer Name" drop-down menu, or you can manually enter the IP address of the server computer.
  • Page 18 Note: You might have trouble accessing a virtual server using its public identity (WAN-side IP- address of the gateway or its dynamic DNS name) from a machine on the LAN. Your requests may not be looped back or you may be redirected to the "Forbidden" page. The requests from the LAN machine will not be looped back if Internet access is blocked at the time of access.

  • Page 19: Application Rules

  • Page 20 Add/Edit Application Rule Example: You need to configure your router to allow a software application running on any computer on your network to connect to a web-based server or another user on the Internet. Enable Specifies whether the entry will be active or inactive. Name Enter a name for the Special Application Rule, for example Game App, which will help you identify the rule in the future.

  • Page 21: Traffic Shaping

    Clear Re-initialize this area of the screen, discarding any changes you have made. With the above example application rule enabled, the router will open up a range of ports from 6000-6200 for incoming traffic from the Internet, whenever any computer on the internal network opens up an application that sends data to the Internet using a port in the range of 6500-6700.
  • Page 22 Manual Uplink Speed If Automatic Uplink Speed is disabled, this options allows you to set the uplink speed manually. Uplink speed is the speed at which data can be transferred from the router to your ISP. This is determined by your ISP. ISPs often specify speed as a downlink/uplink pair;...
  • Page 23 Local IP Range The rule applies to a flow of messages whose LAN-side IP address falls within the range set here. Local Port Range The rule applies to a flow of messages whose LAN-side port number is within the range set here.

  • Page 24: Access Control

    Gateway Specifies the next hop to be taken if this route is used. A gateway of 0.0.0.0 implies there is no next hop, and the IP address matched is directly connected to the router on the interface specified: LAN or WAN. Metric The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates the cost of using this route.

  • Page 26: Firewall Settings

    MAC ADDRESS FILTER (NETWORK FILTER) The MAC address filter section can be used to filter network access by machines based on the unique MAC addresses of their network adapter(s). It is most useful to prevent unauthorized wireless devices from connecting to your network. A MAC address is a unique ID assigned by the manufacturer of the network adapter.
  • Page 27 Firewall Settings Enable SPI SPI ("stateful packet inspection" also known as "dynamic packet filtering") helps to prevent cyberattacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through that session conforms to the protocol. When the protocol is TCP, SPI checks that packet sequence numbers are within the valid range for the session, discarding those packets that do not have valid sequence numbers.
  • Page 28 TCP Endpoint Filtering Controls endpoint filtering for packets of the TCP protocol. Formerly, the terms "Full Cone", "Restricted Cone", "Port Restricted Cone" and "Symmetric" were used to refer to different variations of NATs. These terms are purposely not used here, because they do not fully describe the behavior of this router's NAT.
  • Page 29 The DMZ capability is just one of several means for allowing incoming requests that might appear unsolicited to the NAT. In general, the DMZ host should be used only if there are no other alternatives, because it is much more exposed to cyberattacks than any other system on the LAN.
  • Page 30 Application Level Gateway (ALG) Configuration Here you can enable or disable ALGs. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP payload to make them work with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides special handling for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs for common applications are enabled by default.

  • Page 31: Inbound Filter

    Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the ability to discover NAT devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG off.
