Configuring The Wan Setup Options - NETGEAR WNR500 User Manual

Configuring the WAN Setup Options

The WAN Setup options let you do the following:
• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection.
• Configure a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server.
• Enable the wireless router to respond to a ping on the WAN (Internet) port.
• Disable IGMP Proxying – The IGMP Proxying function lets a LAN PC receive the multicast
traffic is interested in from the Internet. You can click this check box to disable the function if
you do not need it.
• Change the Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) size.
• Disable DIP ALG – Some SIP applications have their own way to work around the NAT
firewall issue, and the SIP ALG would conflict with those solutions. In most cases, you do not
have to disable the SIP ALG. However, if your SIP applications cannot work with the router,
you can disable the SIP ALG and try the applications again. Click the check box to disable SIP
ALG.
• Enable IPv6 Pass-Through – IPv6 pass-through is disabled by default. If you have IPv6
capable devices in your configuration and would like to use IPv6 instead of IPv4, you can
click this check box to enable IPv6 Pass)-Through.
Select WAN Setup under Advanced in the main menu. The WAN Setup screen displays.
