USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE41Using the Accept “ANY” SSID FeatureNote: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. A featureof wireless networking is the ability to scan for networks and connect to themeasily. For instance, you can set up a wireless-equipped computer to connect toand an SSID called “ANY”. This forces the wireless network adapter in the computerto look for any network in the area and connect to it. For ease-of-use this is veryconvenient, but in some cases you may want users to have to specify the name ofthe network. You can program the Router to reject a wireless-equipped computerlooking for an SSID of “ANY”. Remove the check mark in the box next to “Accept‘ANY’ SSID”, then click “Apply Changes”. The change is immediate. Each computernow needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID; an SSID of “ANY” will nolonger be accepted. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapterfor information on making this change.Using the Broadcast SSID FeatureNote: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. Forsecurity, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. Doing so will keepyour network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence ofwireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check markfrom the box next to “Broadcast SSID”, then click “Apply Changes”. The change isimmediate. Each computer now needs to be set to connect to your specific SSID;an SSID of “ANY” will no longer be accepted. Refer to the documentation of yourwireless network adapter for information on making this change.Changing the Wireless Encryption SettingsClicking on the “Encryption” link in the “Wireless” tab will take you to theEncryption settings screen. To make setting up your network for the first time easy,the Router ships with encryption turned off. If you wish to turn on encryption, youcan do so from this page. Turning on encryption will require you to set each ofyour wireless-equipped computers with the same encryption settings that youmake in the Router. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapterfor information on making this change.There are two types of encryption to choose from: 64-bit and 128-bit encryption.Using encryption will make your network more secure, but will slow down thenetwork performance. Although network performance will be reduced, it is likelythe change will not be detectable to users of the network.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE42Setting Encryption Automatically Using a PassphraseNote to Mac users: The Passphrase option will not operate with Apple® AirPort®. Toconfigure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption using the manualmethod described in the next section.1. Select “64-bitautomatically” or“128-bitautomatically” fromthe drop-down menu.2. Type in a passphrase. A passphrase is like a password. It can be a mixtureof numbers and letters. After you type in your passphrase, click“Generate”. When you click “Generate”, the key fields below will becomepopulated. Note: 64-bit encryptionwill generate fourkeys and 128-bitencryption willgenerate only onekey. Select thekey you want touse by clickingthe radio buttonnext to it. Click“Apply Changes”.3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on yourwireless network will now need to be configured with the samepassphrase. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapterfor information on making this change.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE43Setting Encryption Manually Using a Hexadecimal KeyA hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bitkeys are five 2-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 2-digit numbers.For instance:AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit keyC3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit keyIn the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–Fand 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Routerand your wireless computers.Note to Mac users: Original Apple AirPort products support 64-bit encryption only.Apple AirPort 2 products can support 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. Please checkyour product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure yournetwork with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.1. Select “64-bitmanually” or “128-bitmanually” from thedrop-down menu.2. If using 64-bitencryption, there willbe four key fields. Ifusing 128-bitencryption, there willbe one key field. Inthe key field(s), type in the hexadecimal key(s) that you wish to use.When finished typing in your keys, select which key you want to use byclicking the radio button next to it. Click “Apply Changes”.3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on yourwireless network will now need to be configured with the samehexadecimal key. Refer to the documentation of your wireless networkadapter for information on making this change.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE44Using the Access Point ModeNote: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. TheRouter can be configured to work as a wireless network access point. Using thismode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, theRouter will need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnetas the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address is192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be customized foryour need. 1. Enable the AP mode my selecting “Enable” in the “Use as Access Point only”page. When you select this option, you will be able to change the IPsettings. 2. Set your IP settings to match your network. Click “Apply Changes”.3. Connect a cable from the WAN port on the Router to your existing network.The Router is now acting as an Access Point. To access the Router advanceduser interface again, type the IP address you specified into your browser’snavigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC address filtering,SSID and channel normally.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE45Configuring the FirewallYour Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from awide array of common hacker attacks including:•IP Spoofing•Land Attack•Ping of Death (PoD) •Denial of Service (DoS)•IP with zero length•Smurf Attack•TCP Null Scan•SYN flood•UDP flooding•Tear Drop Attack•ICMP defect•RIP defect•Fragment floodingThe firewall also masks common ports that are frequently used to attack networks.These ports appear to be “Stealth” meaning that for all intents and purposes, theydo not exist to a would-be hacker. You can turn the firewall function off if needed,however, it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled. Disabling thefirewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hackerattacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE46Configuring the Port Forwarding SettingsApplication gateways let you select ports to be open for certain applications towork properly with the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Router.A list of popular applications has been included to choose from. You can selectan application from the drop-down list and the proper settings will beprogrammed into the Router. If the application you want to set up for is nothere, check the “Virtual Servers” page by clicking “Virtual Servers” on the leftside of the screen. If you cannot find your application in either the “ApplicationGateways” screen or the “Virtual Servers” screen, you will need to check with theapplication vendor to determine which ports need to be configured. You canmanually input this port information into the Router.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE47Choosing an ApplicationSelect your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The settings will betransferred to the next available space in the screen. Click “Apply Changes” tosave the setting for that application. To remove an application, select thenumber of the row that you want to remove then click “Clear”.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE48Configuring Internal Forwarding SettingsThe Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls forservices such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or otherapplications through your Router to your internal network. Since your internalcomputers are protected by a firewall, computers outside your network (over theInternet) cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen”. A list of commonapplications has been provided in case you need to configure the Virtual Serverfunction for a specific application. If your application is not listed, you will needto contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE49Choosing an ApplicationSelect your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The settings will betransferred to the next available space in the screen. Click “Apply Changes” tosave the setting for that application. To remove an application, select thenumber of the row that you want to remove then click “Clear”.Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual ServerTo manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for theinternal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a comma betweenmultiple ports), select the port type (TCP or UDP), and click “Apply Changes”.You can only pass one port per internal IP address. Opening ports in yourfirewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and disable settings veryquickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are notusing a specific application.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE50Setting Client IP FiltersThe Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or othernetwork services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a singlecomputer, a range of computers, or multiple computers. To restrict Internet access to a single computer for example, enter the IP addressof the computer you wish to restrict access to in the IP fields (1). Next, enter“88” in both the port fields (2). Select “Both” (3). Select “Block” (4). You canalso select “Always” to block access all of the time. Select the day to start ontop (5), the time to start on top (6), the day to end on the bottom (7), andthe time to stop (8) on the bottom. Select “Enable” (9). Click “Apply Changes”.The computer at the IP address you specified will now be blocked from Internetaccess at the times you specified. Note: Be sure you have selected the correcttime zone under “Utilities> System Settings> Time Zone”.(1) (2)(9)(3) (4) (7) (8)(5) (6)

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE51Setting MAC Address Filtering The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specifywhich computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting toaccess the network that is not specified in the filter list will be denied access.When you enable this feature, you must enter the MAC address of each client(computer) on your network to allow network access to each. The “Block”feature lets you turn on and off access to the network easily for any computerwithout having to add and remove the computer’s MAC address from the list.To enable this feature, select “Enable MAC Address Filtering” (1). Next, enter theMAC address of each computer on your network by clicking in the space provided(2) and entering the MAC address of the computer you want to add to the list.Click “Add” (3), then “Apply Changes” to save the settings. To delete a MACaddress from the list, simply click “Delete” next to the MAC address you wish todelete. Click “Apply Changes” to save the settings. Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are usingto access the Router's administrative functions (the computer you are using now). (3)(1)(2)

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE52Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to beplaced outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causingproblems with an application such as a game or video conferencing application.Use this feature on a temporary basis. The computer in the DMZ is NOT protectedfrom hacker attacks. To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IPfield and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect. Ifyou are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select whichWAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address youwish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of theDMZ host computer, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE53Blocking an ICMP Ping Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims onthe Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from theIP address, a hacker can determine that something of interest might be there.The Router can be set up so it will not respond to an ICMP ping from theoutside. This heightens the level of security of your Router. To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click “ApplyChanges”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping. (1)

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE65Changing System SettingsThe “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administratorpassword, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and offthe NAT function of the Router.Setting or Changing the Administrator Password The Router ships with NO password entered. If you wish to add a password forgreater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password andkeep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router inthe future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to usethe remote management feature of your Router.Changing the Login Timeout SettingThe login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can belogged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when therehas been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advancedsetup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, thelogin session will expire. You will have to login to the Router again to make anymore changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the defaultis set to 10 minutes. Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interfaceat one time.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE66Setting the Time and Time Zone The Router keeps time by connecting to a Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP)server. This allows the Router to synchronize the system clock to the globalInternet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security logand control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you residein an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place a check mark in the boxnext to “Enable Daylight Saving”. The system clock may not update immediately.Allow at least 15 minutes for the Router to contact the time servers on theInternet and get a response. You cannot set the clock yourself. Enabling Remote Management Before you enable this advanced feature of your Belkin Router, MAKE SURE YOUHAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you tomake changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There aretwo methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to theRouter from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotelymanage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on theInternet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type inthe password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP addressonly to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. Touse this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Routerfrom in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely managethe Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED thatyou set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentiallyopen your Router to intrusion.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE67Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. Beforeenabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router shares thesingle IP address assigned by your ISP with the other computers on your network.This function should only be used if your ISP assigns you multiple IP addresses oryou need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you have a singleIP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be ableto access the Internet. Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will notaffect your firewall functions. Enabling/Disabling UPnPUPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by yourBelkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voicemessaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in aspecific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDPports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” theRouter which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with theUPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable theUPnP feature. Simply select “Enable” in the “UPnP Enabling” section of the“Utilities” page. Click “Apply Changes” to save the change.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE68Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware UpdateThis innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability toautomatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the newfirmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, theRouter will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you willbe notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. TheRouter ships with this feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select“Disable” and click “Apply Changes”.
