CRADLEPOINT
5.7 Network
The Network configuration is used to enable several special settings for the
router. UPnP, WAN Ping response, WAN Port Speed, Multicast Streams, and
PPoE Pass Through can be enabled or disabled.
UPNP
5.7.1
Enable UPnP. Enables UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) functionality.
WAN Ping
5.7.2
Pinging public WAN IP addresses is a common method used by hackers to test
whether your WAN IP address is valid.
Enable WAN Ping Respond. If you leave this option unchecked, you are caus-
ing the router to ignore ping commands for the public WAN IP address of the
router.
WAN Ping Inbound Filter. Select a filter that controls which WAN computers
can use the ping feature. If you do not see the filter you need in the list of filters,
go to the Advanced → Inbound Filter sub-menu and create a new filter.
Details. This filter designates certain IP addresses from other computers or
devices so that these IP addresses are either specifically allowed to com-
municate to the router, or are specifically blocked. This limits the range of IPs
that can connect to the router, or block ones that are known to be from an
attacking network.
WAN Port Speed
5.7.3
WAN Port Speed. Normally, this is set to Auto. If you have trouble connecting to the WAN, try the other settings.
Multicast Streams
5.7.4
The router uses the IGMP protocol to support efficient multicasting --transmission of identical content, such as multimedia, from a source to a
number of recipients.
Enable Multicast Streams. This option must be enabled if any applications on the LAN participate in a multicast group. If you have a multimedia
LAN application that is not receiving content as expected, try enabling this option.
