Enable/Disable NAT on your router
Advanced Setup > WAN > NAPT
Checking this option enables NAPT (Network Address and Port Translation) or also
known as NAT (Network Address Translation) on your router which allows multiple
private IP addresses on your LAN through a single IP Internet public IP address assigned
by your ISP. NAPT enabled is the default setting and is recommended setting.
Unchecking this option will disabled NAPT or NAT and allow your router to work in
Route mode only which can be configured under the Routing section. Disabling NAT will
not put your router in bridge mode. Note: Disabling this feature assumes that you have
some general networking knowledge.
1. Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page"
on
page
16).
2. Click on Advanced Setup and click on WAN, then click on NAPT.
3. Under Operating Mode, check the NAPT option to enable NAT or uncheck to disable
NAT.

Enable/Disable IGMP Snooping on your router
Advanced Setup > LAN > IGMP Snooping
If you run multicast traffic on your network, the IGMP (Internet Group Management
Protocol) snooping feature will enable multicast traffic filtering on the LAN ports of your
router. IGMP snooping will listen and detect multicast traffic on your router LAN ports
and ensure that only the ports that require multicast communication will send and
receive multicast traffic instead of sending and receiving multicast traffic on all LAN
ports. Multicast traffic can sometimes cause unnecessary and high traffic load on your
switch or router device which results in slow connectivity between devices on your
network and to the Internet. It is strongly recommended to enable IGMP snooping if you
use multicast communication on your network in order to prevent slow connectivity and
high traffic loads on your router.
1. Log into your router management page (see "Access your router management page"
on
page
16).
2. Click on Advanced Setup and click on LAN, then click on IGMP Snooping.
3. Next to IGMP Snooping, check the Enabled option to enable IGMP snooping on your
router.
4. Click Apply at the bottom of the page to apply the changes. After the settings have
been applied, click Continue on the following page.
Note: If you would like to discard the changes, click Cancel before you click Apply.
