For source or destination port range, you can either:
a)
Enter a specific port, such as “95”.
b)	Enter ports within a range, such as “103:315”, “>100”, or
“<65535”.
•
The Transferred column contains information about the upstream
and downstream traffic (outgoing and incoming network traffic) for
one section. In this column, you can set the network traffic limit (in
KB) for a specific service to generate specific priorities for the service
assigned to a specific port. For example, if two network clients, PC
1 and PC 2, are both accessing the Internet (set at port 80), but PC 1
exceeds the network traffic limit due to some downloading tasks, PC
1 will have a lower priority. If you do not want to set the traffic limit,
leave it blank.
29
5. On the User-defined Priority page, you can prioritize the
network applications or devices into five levels from the userdefined QoS rules’ dropdown list. Based on priority level, you
can use the following methods to send data packets:
• Change the order of upstream network packets that are sent
to the Internet.
• Under Upload Bandwidth table, set Minimum Reserved
Bandwidth and Maximum Bandwidth Limit for multiple
network applications with different priority levels. The
percentages indicate the upload bandwidth rates that are
available for specified network applications.
NOTES:
•
Low-priority packets are disregarded to ensure the transmission of
high-priority packets.
•
Under Download Bandwidth table, set Maximum Bandwidth
Limit for multiple network applications in corresponding order.
The higher priority upstream packet will cause the higher priority
downstream packet.
•
If there are no packets being sent from high-priority applications, the
full transmission rate of the Internet connection is available for lowpriority packets.
6. Set the highest priority packet. To ensure a smooth online
gaming experience, you can set ACK, SYN, and ICMP as the
highest priority packet.
NOTE: Ensure to enable QoS first and set up the upload and download
rate limits.
30

• WAN Connection Type: Choose your Internet Service Provider
type. The choices are Automatic IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP or
fixed IP. Consult your ISP if the router is unable to obtain a
valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN connection type.
• Enable WAN: Select Yes to allow the router Internet access.
Select No to disable Internet access.
60
• Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a NAT
table and is used to route incoming data packets.
• Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game
consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-based
network with or without a central control through a gateway.
UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless
network for remote configuration and data transfer. Using
UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically.
Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely
configured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming,
video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port
forwarding, which involves manually configuring port
settings, UPnP automatically configures the router to accept
incoming connections and direct requests to a specific PC on
the local network.
• Connect to DNS Server: Allows this router to get the DNS
IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS is a host on
the Internet that translates Internet names to numeric IP
addresses.
• Authentication: This item may be specified by some ISPs.
Check with your ISP and fill them in if required.
• Host Name: This field allows you to provide a host name for
your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the
host name here.
61
• MAC Address: MAC (Media Access Control) address is a
unique identifier for your networking device. Some ISPs
monitor the MAC address of networking devices that connect
to their service and reject any unrecognized device that
attempt to connect. To avoid connection issues due to an
unregistered MAC address, you can:
• Contact your ISP and update the MAC address associated
with your ISP service.
• Clone or change the MAC address of the ASUS wireless router
to match the MAC address of the previous networking device
recognized by the ISP.
62
4.3.2 Port Trigger
Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port for a
limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network
makes an outgoing connection to a specified port. Port triggering
is used in the following scenarios:
• More than one local client needs port forwarding for the
same application at a different time.
• An application requires specific incoming ports that are
different from the outgoing ports.
To set up Port Trigger:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
Port Trigger tab.
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
• Enable Port Trigger: Choose Yes to enable Port Trigger.
• Well-Known Applications: Select popular games and web
services to add to the Port Trigger List.
• Description: Enter a short name or description for the service.
63
• Trigger Port: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming port.
• Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
• Incoming Port: Specify an incoming port to receive inbound
data from the Internet.
• Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
NOTES:
64
•
When connecting to an IRC server, a client PC makes an outgoing
connection using the trigger port range 66660-7000. The IRC server
responds by verifying the username and creating a new connection
to the client PC using an incoming port.
•
If Port Trigger is disabled, the router drops the connection because
it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for IRC access.
When Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an incoming port to
receive the inbound data. This incoming port closes once a specific
time period has elapsed because the router is unsure when the
application has been terminated.
•
Port triggering only allows one client in the network to use a
particular service and a specific incoming port at the same time.
•
You cannot use the same application to trigger a port in more than
one PC at the same time. The router will only forward the port back
to the last computer to send the router a request/trigger.
4.3.3 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is a method to direct network traffic from the
Internet to a specific port or a specific range of ports to a device
or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to
access specific services provided by a PC in your network.
NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks
unsolicited inbound traffic from the Internet and only allows replies
from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not
have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.
To set up Port Forwarding:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.
65
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
• Enable Port Forwarding: Choose Yes to enable Port
Forwarding.
• Famous Server List: Determine which type of service you
want to access.
• Famous Game List: This item lists ports required for popular
online games to work correctly.
• FTP Server Port: Avoid assigning the port range 20:21 for
your FTP server as this would conflict with the router’s native
FTP server assignment.
• Service Name: Enter a service name.
• Port Range: If you want to specify a Port Range for clients
on the same network, enter the Service Name, the Port
Range (e.g. 10200:10300), the LAN IP address, and leave the
Local Port empty. Port range accepts various formats such
as Port Range (300:350), individual ports (566,789) or Mix
(1015:1024,3021).
NOTES:
66
•
When your network’s firewall is disabled and you set 80 as the HTTP
server’s port range for your WAN setup, then your http server/web
server would be in conflict with the router’s web user interface.
•
A network makes use of ports in order to exchange data, with each
port assigned a port number and a specific task. For example, port 80
is used for HTTP. A specific port can only be used by one application
or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting to access data
through the same port at the same time would fail. For example, you
cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for two PCs at the same
time.
• Local IP: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port forwarding
work properly. Refer to section 4.2 LAN for information.
• Local Port: Enter a specific port to receive forwarded packets.
Leave this field blank if you want the incoming packets to be
redirected to the specified port range.
• Protocol: Select the protocol. If you are unsure, select BOTH.
To check if Port Forwarding has been configured successfully:
• Ensure that your server or application is set up and running.
• You will need a client outside your LAN but has Internet
access (referred to as “Internet client”). This client should not
be connected to the ASUS router.
• On the Internet client, use the router’s WAN IP to access the
server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be
able to access the files or applications.
Differences between port trigger and port forwarding:
• Port triggering will work even without setting up a specific
LAN IP address. Unlike port forwarding, which requires a
static LAN IP address, port triggering allows dynamic port
forwarding using the router. Predetermined port ranges are
configured to accept incoming connections for a limited
period of time. Port triggering allows multiple computers
to run applications that would normally require manually
forwarding the same ports to each PC on the network.
• Port triggering is more secure than port forwarding since the
incoming ports are not open all the time. They are opened
only when an application is making an outgoing connection
through the trigger port.
67
4.3.4 DMZ
Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this
client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area
Network.
Inbound traffic from the Internet is usually discarded and routed
to a specific client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has
been configured on the network. In a DMZ configuration, one
network client receives all inbound packets.
Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming
ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server.
Caution: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes the
network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the security
risks involved in using DMZ.
To set up DMZ:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
DMZ tab.
2. Configure the setting below. When done, click Apply.
• IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP
address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed
on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP
address.
To remove DMZ:
1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of
Exposed Station text box.
2. When done, click Apply.
68
4.3.5 DDNS
Setting up DDNS (Dynamic DNS) allows you to access the router
from outside your network through the provided ASUS DDNS
Service or another DDNS service.
To set up DDNS:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
DDNS tab.
2. Configure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
• Enable the DDNS Client: Enable DDNS to access the ASUS
router via the DNS name rather than WAN IP address.
• Server and Host Name: Choose ASUS DDNS or other DDNS.
If you want to use ASUS DDNS, fill in the Host Name in the
format of xxx.asuscomm.com (xxx is your host name).
• If you want to use a different DDNS service, click FREE TRIAL
and register online first. Fill in the User Name or E-mail
Address and Password or DDNS Key fields.
69
• Enable wildcard: Enable wildcard if your DDNS service
requires one.
NOTES:
DDNS service will not work under these conditions:
•
When the wireless router is using a private WAN IP address (192.168.
x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x), as indicated by a yellow text.
•
The router may be on a network that uses multiple NAT tables.
4.3.6 NAT Passthrough
NAT Passthrough allows a Virtual Private Network (VPN)
connection to pass through the router to the network clients.
PPTP Passthrough, L2TP Passthrough, IPsec Passthrough and RTSP
Passthrough are enabled by default.
To enable / disable the NAT Passthrough settings, go to the
Advanced Settings > WAN > NAT Passthrough tab. When done,
click Apply.
