  • Page 29 Enable Traffic Shaping: When this option is enabled, the router restricts the flow of outbound traffic so as not to exceed the WAN uplink bandwidth. Automatic Uplink Speed: Enable/ Disable the automatic determination of uplink speed. When enabled, this option causes the router to automatically measure the useful uplink bandwidth each time the WAN interface is reestablished (after a reboot, for example).
  • Page 30: Streamengine

    generally note speeds slightly lower than the Measured Uplink Speed or the ISP rated speed. Connection Type: By default, the router automatically determines whether the underlying connection is an xDSL/Frame-relay network or some other connection type (such as cable modem or Ethernet), and it displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network.
  • Page 31: Add/Edit Streamengine™ Rule

    Enable StreamEngine™: This option is enabled by default. Disable this option for testing how the traffic and services performs without StreamEngine™ enabled. This engine will enhance VoIP, video conferencing, gaming, data throughput while keeping control of P2P applications. Automatic Classification: This option is enabled by default so that your router will automatically determine which programs should have network priority.

    Device button. Firewall A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The RGW208EN provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the router to the contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN invisible to Internet cyber attackers.
  • Page 39: Firewall Settings

    Firewall Settings 3.9.1 Enable SPI: SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through the session conforms to the protocol. When SPI is enabled, the extra state information will be reported on the Status >...

    Port and Address Restricted: The NAT does not forward any incoming connection requests with the same port address as an already establish connection. Note that some of these options can interact with other port restrictions. Endpoint Independent Filtering takes priority over inbound filters or schedules, so it is possible for an incoming session request related to an outgoing session to enter through a port in spite of an active inbound filter on that port.

    Enable DMZ: If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer to a variety of security risks.
  • Page 42 PPTP: Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate networks using PPTP protocol. When the PPTP ALG is enabled, LAN computers can establish PPTP VPN connections either with the same or with different VPN servers. When the PPTP ALG is disabled, the router allows VPN operation in a restricted way -- LAN computers are typically able to establish VPN tunnels to different VPN Internet servers but not to the same server.
  • Page 43: Inbound Filter

    Wake-On-LAN: This feature enables forwarding of "magic packets" (that is, specially formatted wake-up packets) from the WAN to a LAN computer or other device that is "Wake on LAN" (WOL) capable. The WOL device must be defined as → such on the Advanced Virtual Server page.

  • Page 45 RTS Threshold: When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes.

    However, certain useful kinds of Internet sessions are normally initiated from WAN- side computers. To allow connections to be started by WAN-side computers, a "hole" must be created in the firewall. Firewall holes can be created by several means. You can explicitly create holes with Virtual Server, Port forwarding, and Gaming rules, for example.
