• Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the NBG- 419N so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet. • Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the NBG-419N to access network resources.
Page 22: Ways To Manage The Nbg-419N
• Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NBG- 419N using a (supported) web browser. • Wireless switch. You can use the built-in switch of the NBG-419N to turn the wireless function on and off without opening the Web Configurator.
Page 23 The NBG-419N is receiving power and functioning properly. The NBG-419N is not receiving power. WLAN Green The NBG-419N is ready, but is not sending/ receiving data through the wireless LAN. Blinking The NBG-419N is sending/receiving data through the wireless LAN.

Launch your web browser and type "http://192.168.1.1" as the website address. Type "1234" (default) as the password and click Login. Note: The Wizard appears when the NBG-419N is accessed for the first time or when you reset the NBG-419N to its default factory settings.
Page 26: Connect To Internet
Chapter 2 Connection Wizard 2.3 Connect to Internet The NBG-419N offers five Internet connection types. They are Static IP, DHCP, PPPoE, PPTP or L2TP. The wizard attempts to detect which WAN connection type you are using. Figure 4 Detecting your Internet Connection Type If the wizard does not detect a connection type, you must select one from the drop-down list box.
Page 27: Connection Type: Dhcp
Note: If you get an error screen after clicking Next, you might have selected the wrong Internet Connection type. Click Back, make sure your Internet connection is working and select the right Connection Type. Contact your ISP if you are not sure of your Internet Connection type. NBG-419N User’s Guide...
Page 28: Connection Type: Static Ip
IP address and vice versa. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG-419N uses a system DNS server (in the order you specify here) to resolve domain names for DDNS and the time server.
Page 29 By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG-419N (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG-419N does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.
Page 30: Connection Type: Pptp
Select this radio button if your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. Static IP Select this radio button, provided by your ISP to give the NBG-419N a fixed, unique IP address. PPTP Address Type the (static) IP address assigned to you by your ISP.

The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. Figure 66 Example of a Wireless Network NBG-419N The wireless network is the part in the blue circle.
Page 100: What You Can Do
• Use the MAC Filter screen (Section 11.5 on page 109) to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the NBG-419N. • Use the Advanced screen (Section 11.6 on page 110) to allow wireless advanced features, such as intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold.
Page 101: Mac Address Filter
Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. NBG-419N User’s Guide...

Page 103: General Wireless Lan Screen
Use this screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode. Note: If you are configuring the NBG-419N from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the NBG-419N’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm.
Page 104: No Security
Select No Security to allow wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any data encryption. Note: If you do not enable any wireless security on your NBG-419N, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.
Page 105: Wep Encryption

H A P T E R 12.1 Overview This chapter discusses the NBG-419N’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG-419N for Internet access. A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.
Page 120: What You Need To Know
(and service name) for user authentication. WAN IP Address The WAN IP address is an IP address for the NBG-419N, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the NBG-419N to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the NBG-419N tries to access the Internet.
Page 121: Multicast
NBG-419N supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP- v2). At start up, the NBG-419N queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the NBG-419N periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the NBG-419N LAN and/or WAN...

Make sure the power LED is on. Press the RESET button for longer than 1 second to restart/reboot the NBG-419N. Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the NBG-419N back to its factory-default configurations. If the NBG-419N restarts automatically, wait for the NBG-419N to finish restarting, and log in to the Web Configurator.
