USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Using the Accept “ANY” SSID Feature

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. A feature

of wireless networking is the ability to scan for networks and connect to them

easily. For instance, you can set up a wireless-equipped computer to connect to

and an SSID called “ANY”. This forces the wireless network adapter in the computer

to look for any network in the area and connect to it. For ease-of-use this is very

convenient, but in some cases you may want users to have to specify the name of

the network. You can program the Router to reject a wireless-equipped computer

looking 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 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 your wireless network adapter

for information on making this change.

Using the Broadcast SSID Feature

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. For

security, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID. Doing so will keep

your network name hidden from computers that are scanning for the presence of

wireless networks. To turn off the broadcast of the SSID, remove the check mark

from the box next to “Broadcast SSID”, then click “Apply Changes”. The change is

immediate. 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 your

wireless network adapter for information on making this change.

Changing the Wireless Encryption Settings

Clicking on the “Encryption” link in the “Wireless” tab will take you to the

Encryption 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, you

can do so from this page. Turning on encryption will require you to set each of

your wireless-equipped computers with the same encryption settings that you

make in the Router. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter

for 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 the

network performance. Although network performance will be reduced, it is likely

the change will not be detectable to users of the network.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting Encryption Automatically Using a Passphrase

Note to Mac users: The Passphrase option will not operate with Apple® AirPort®. To

configure encryption for your Mac computer, set the encryption using the manual

method described in the next section.

1. Select “64-bit

automatically” or

“128-bit

automatically” from

the drop-down menu.

2. Type in a passphrase. A passphrase is like a password. It can be a mixture

of numbers and letters. After you type in your passphrase, click

“Generate”. When you click “Generate”, the key fields below will become

populated. Note:

64-bit encryption

will generate four

keys and 128-bit

encryption will

generate only one

key. Select the

key you want to

use by clicking

the radio button

next to it. Click

“Apply Changes”.

3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on your

wireless network will now need to be configured with the same

passphrase. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network adapter

for information on making this change.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting Encryption Manually Using a Hexadecimal Key

A hexadecimal key is a mixture of numbers and letters from A–F and 0–9. 64-bit

keys are five 2-digit numbers. 128-bit keys are 13 2-digit numbers.

For instance:

AF 0F 4B C3 D4 = 64-bit key

C3 03 0F AF 0F 4B B2 C3 D4 4B C3 D4 E7 = 128-bit key

In the boxes below, make up your key by writing in two characters between A–F

and 0–9. You will use this key to program the encryption settings on your Router

and 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 check

your product to see which version you are using. If you cannot configure your

network with 128-bit encryption, try 64-bit encryption.

1. Select “64-bit

manually” or “128-bit

manually” from the

drop-down menu.

2. If using 64-bit

encryption, there will

be four key fields. If

using 128-bit

encryption, there will

be one key field. In

the 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 by

clicking the radio button next to it. Click “Apply Changes”.

3. Encryption in the Router is now set. Each of your computers on your

wireless network will now need to be configured with the same

hexadecimal key. Refer to the documentation of your wireless network

adapter for information on making this change.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Using the Access Point Mode

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. The

Router can be configured to work as a wireless network access point. Using this

mode will defeat the NAT IP sharing feature and DHCP server. In AP mode, the

Router will need to be configured with an IP address that is in the same subnet

as the rest of the network that you will bridge to. The default IP address is

192.168.2.254 and subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These can be customized for

your 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 IP

settings.

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 advanced

user interface again, type the IP address you specified into your browser’s

navigation bar. You can set the encryption settings, MAC address filtering,

SSID and channel normally.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Configuring the Firewall

Your Router is equipped with a firewall that will protect your network from a

wide 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 flooding

The 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, they

do 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 the

firewall protection will not leave your network completely vulnerable to hacker

attacks, but it is recommended that you leave the firewall enabled.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Configuring the Port Forwarding Settings

Application gateways let you select ports to be open for certain applications to

work properly with the Network Address Translation (NAT) feature of the Router.

A list of popular applications has been included to choose from. You can select

an application from the drop-down list and the proper settings will be

programmed into the Router. If the application you want to set up for is not

here, check the “Virtual Servers” page by clicking “Virtual Servers” on the left

side of the screen. If you cannot find your application in either the “Application

Gateways” screen or the “Virtual Servers” screen, you will need to check with the

application vendor to determine which ports need to be configured. You can

manually input this port information into the Router.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Choosing an Application

Select your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The settings will be

transferred to the next available space in the screen. Click “Apply Changes” to

save the setting for that application. To remove an application, select the

number of the row that you want to remove then click “Clear”.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Configuring Internal Forwarding Settings

The Virtual Servers function will allow you to route external (Internet) calls for

services such as a web server (port 80), FTP server (Port 21), or other

applications through your Router to your internal network. Since your internal

computers are protected by a firewall, computers outside your network (over the

Internet) cannot get to them because they cannot be “seen”. A list of common

applications has been provided in case you need to configure the Virtual Server

function for a specific application. If your application is not listed, you will need

to contact the application vendor to find out which port settings you need.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Choosing an Application

Select your application from the drop-down list. Click “Add”. The settings will be

transferred to the next available space in the screen. Click “Apply Changes” to

save the setting for that application. To remove an application, select the

number of the row that you want to remove then click “Clear”.

Manually Entering Settings into the Virtual Server

To manually enter settings, enter the IP address in the space provided for the

internal (server) machine, the port(s) required to pass (use a comma between

multiple 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 your

firewall can pose a security risk. You can enable and disable settings very

quickly. It is recommended that you disable the settings when you are not

using a specific application.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting Client IP Filters

The Router can be configured to restrict access to the Internet, e-mail, or other

network services at specific days and times. Restriction can be set for a single

computer, a range of computers, or multiple computers.

To restrict Internet access to a single computer for example, enter the IP address

of 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 can

also select “Always” to block access all of the time. Select the day to start on

top (5), the time to start on top (6), the day to end on the bottom (7), and

the 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 Internet

access at the times you specified. Note: Be sure you have selected the correct

time zone under “Utilities> System Settings> Time Zone”.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting MAC Address Filtering

The MAC address filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify

which computers are allowed on the network. Any computer attempting to

access 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 computer

without 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 the

MAC 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 MAC

address from the list, simply click “Delete” next to the MAC address you wish to

delete. Click “Apply Changes” to save the settings.

Note: You will not be able to delete the MAC address of the computer you are using

to access the Router's administrative functions (the computer you are using now).

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Enabling the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)

The DMZ feature allows you to specify one computer on your network to be

placed outside of the firewall. This may be necessary if the firewall is causing

problems 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 protected

from hacker attacks.

To put a computer in the DMZ, enter the last digits of its IP address in the IP

field and select “Enable”. Click “Apply Changes” for the change to take effect. If

you are using multiple static WAN IP addresses, it is possible to select which

WAN IP address the DMZ host will be directed to. Type in the WAN IP address you

wish the DMZ host to direct to, enter the last two digits of the IP address of the

DMZ host computer, select “Enable” and click “Apply Changes”.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Blocking an ICMP Ping

Computer hackers use what is known as “pinging” to find potential victims on

the Internet. By pinging a specific IP address and receiving a response from the

IP 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 the

outside. This heightens the level of security of your Router.

To turn off the ping response, select “Block ICMP Ping” (1) and click “Apply

Changes”. The Router will not respond to an ICMP ping.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Changing System Settings

The “System Settings” page is where you can enter a new administrator

password, set the time zone, enable remote management, and turn on and off

the 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 for

greater security, you can set a password here. Write down your password and

keep it in a safe place, as you will need it if you need to log into the Router in

the future. It is also recommended that you set a password if you plan to use

the remote management feature of your Router.

Changing the Login Timeout Setting

The login timeout option allows you to set the period of time that you can be

logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface. The timer starts when there

has been no activity. For example, you have made some changes in the advanced

setup interface, then left your computer alone without clicking “Logout”.

Assuming the timeout is set to 10 minutes, then 10 minutes after you leave, the

more changes. The login timeout option is for security purposes and the default

is set to 10 minutes.

Note: Only one computer can be logged into the Router’s advanced setup interface

at one time.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Setting 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 global

Internet. The synchronized clock in the Router is used to record the security log

and control client filtering. Select the time zone that you reside in. If you reside

in an area that observes Daylight Saving, then place a check mark in the box

next 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 the

Internet 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 YOU

HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD. Remote management allows you to

make changes to your Router’s settings from anywhere on the Internet. There are

two methods of remotely managing the Router. The first is to allow access to the

Router from anywhere on the Internet by selecting “Any IP address can remotely

manage the Router”. By typing in your WAN IP address from any computer on the

Internet, you will be presented with a login screen where you need to type in

the password of your Router. The second method is to allow a specific IP address

only to remotely manage the Router. This is more secure, but less convenient. To

use this method, enter the IP address you know you will be accessing the Router

from in the space provided and select “Only this IP address can remotely manage

the Router”. Before you enable this function, it is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED that

you set your administrator password. Leaving the password empty will potentially

open your Router to intrusion.

USING THE WEB-BASED ADVANCED USER INTERFACE

Enabling/Disabling NAT (Network Address Translation)

Note: This advanced feature should be employed by advanced users only. Before

enabling this function, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE SET THE ADMINISTRATOR PASSWORD.

Network Address Translation (NAT) is the method by which the Router shares the

single 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 or

you need NAT disabled for an advanced system configuration. If you have a single

IP address and you turn NAT off, the computers on your network will not be able

to access the Internet. Other problems may also occur. Turning off NAT will not

affect your firewall functions.

Enabling/Disabling UPnP

UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play) is yet another advanced feature offered by your

Belkin Router. It is a technology that offers seamless operation of voice

messaging, video messaging, games, and other applications that are UPnP-

compliant. Some applications require the Router’s firewall to be configured in a

specific way to operate properly. This usually requires opening TCP and UDP

ports, and in some instances, setting trigger ports. An application that is UPnP-

compliant has the ability to communicate with the Router, basically “telling” the

Router which way it needs the firewall configured. The Router ships with the

UPnP feature disabled. If you are using any applications that are UPnP-

compliant, and wish to take advantage of the UPnP features, you can enable the

UPnP 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 INTERFACE

Enabling/Disabling Auto Firmware Update

This innovation provides the Router with the built-in capability to

automatically check for a new version of firmware and alert you that the new

firmware is available. When you log into the Router’s advanced interface, the

Router will perform a check to see if new firmware is available. If so, you will

be notified. You can choose to download the new version or ignore it. The

Router ships with this feature enabled. If you want to disable it, select

“Disable” and click “Apply Changes”.

“@myisp.com”part of the user name may need to be typed as well as your

user name.

•Make sure that the modem is ON. Check the wall adapter and the power

connection at the modem. Some modems have a power switch. Make sure the

power switch is in the ON position.

The Easy Install Wizard is not able to find my Router.

•Make sure that the Router is ON. The Power/Ready light will be on GREEN and

SOLID. Check the power supply connection at the wall and the Router.

•Make sure that the LAN link light that corresponds to the port you connected to the

computer is ON. Check the network cable going from the computer to the Router.

•If the Easy Install Wizard told you that it detected multiple network adapters,

run the Easy Install Wizard again and try a different adapter.

The WAN link LED is not on or I cannot connect to the cable or DSL modem.

•Check the connection between the Router and the cable or DSL modem. Make

sure the network cable from the cable or DSL modem is connected to the port on

the Router labeled “Internet/WAN”.

•Make sure the cable or DSL modem is powered and switched on.

•Make sure the Router has power. The Power/Ready LED should be illuminated.

•Make sure the cable between the modem and the Router is the cable that was

provided with the modem.

TROUBLESHOOTING

My connection type is “static IP address”. I cannot connect to the Internet.

•Since your connection type is “static IP address”, your ISP must assign you the

IP address, subnet mask, and gateway address. Make sure that the Router’s

connection type is configured as “Static IP Address” and verify your settings.

•Your ISP may bind your connection to the MAC address of your computer’s NIC.

Clone your MAC address.

My connection type is “dynamic IP address”. I cannot connect to the Internet.

•Make sure your computers are correctly configured and all network cables are

properly connected.

•Make sure the cable or DSL line is properly attached on your cable or DSL modem.

Refer to the manual of your modem to verify that it works normally.

•Make sure the network cable between the modem and the barricade is well

connected. Power off the modem; wait a few seconds and then power it on again.

•Your ISP may bind your connection to the MAC address of your computer’s NIC.

Clone your MAC address.

My connection type is “PPPoE”. I cannot connect to the Internet.

•Since your connection type is PPPoE, your ISP will assign you a user name and

password and sometimes a service name. Make sure the Router connection type is

configured as “PPPoE” and these settings are entered properly.

•Make sure your computers are correctly configured and all network cables are

properly connected.

•Make sure the coaxial cable or DSL line is properly attached on your cable or DSL

modem. Refer to the manual of your modem to verify it works normally.

•Make sure the network cable between the modem and the Router is well

connected. Power off the modem for a few seconds and power on it again.

•Your ISP may bind your connection to the MAC address of your computer’s NIC.

Clone your MAC address.
