connect Internet.
When you enable the WISP function, you will have to input the ESSID (i.e. the name of wireless
access point) of your ISP’s access point or press the “Select Site Survey” button to find the
ESSID of the wireless access point provided by your WISP.
37
If your WISP service was provided with encryption, you will have to enable the “Encryption” and
input correct security setting info first, the WISP function can be functioned after that.
No matter what kind of Connection Type you choose to use, the system will ask you to restart
the router after you completed the settings and your settings will be saved after that.
When you enable WISP and you prefer users to access internet via wired connection, please
select 『staEnable』
6-4 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is an IP‐to‐Host name mapping service for those Internet users who don’t
have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem when such user wants to provide services to
other users on Internet, because their IP address will vary every time when connected to Internet,
and other user will not be able to know the IP address they’re using at a certain time.

Chapter 8: 2.4G Wireless
You can setup Wireless LAN connection parameters of BR-6479Gn in this page
After you unboxed the BR-6479Gn and powered it on, just 2 minutes later and without any
configuration, a wireless network without any encryption was established. In other words,
there is no “Encryption” and setting of “802.11” for BR-6479Gn from the factory default. In the
next sections, we are going to tell you how to encrypt for your BR-6479Gn that helps to
secure your Wireless LAN.
8-1 Basic Settings
Mode
Wireless Standard
There are 6 Mode options: AP, Station-Infrastructure, AP
Bridge-Point to Point, AP Bridge-Point to Multi-Point, AP
Bridge-WDS, Universal Repeater.
BR-6479Gn supports three wireless standards:
41
(a)2.4GHz(b+g+n): 802.11b + 802.11g +802.11n (default
setting)
ESSID
Broadcast ESSID

Channel Width
Wireless Clients
(b) 2.4GHz(b): 802.11b
(c) 2.4GHz(g): 802.11g
(d) 2.4GHz(n): 802.11n
(e) 2.4GHz(b+g): 802.11b and 802.11g
ESSID is the name of broadband router which is used to
identify your own broadband router from others in the same
area.
If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, the router will be opened
to be searched and accessed by wireless adapters or devices.
If you disable “Broadcast ESSID”, this ESSID won’t be
searched, only those who know this ESSID can access it.
Select the channel number of frequency ranges. North
America uses channel 1~11. Europe uses channel 1~13.
There are 2 channel width: 20MHz and 40MHz。We
recommend you to choose “Auto 20/40MHz”.
Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button to show the list of all
connected wireless clients. You can click ‘Refresh’ in new
window to get the latest list again, or click ‘Close’ to close the
window.
Wireless Standard (IEEE 802.11b/g/n)：
Normally an indoor environment would adapt b+g+n and「Auto 20/40 MHz」. This is because
such settings can help data transmitting in short distance to be in higher speed. If you’d like to
use BR-6479Gn for longer distant data transmitting, you are recommended to apply 802.11b and
20MHz. This is because long distant transmission is difficult to meet high speed wireless transfer
rates at 150~300Mbps,
so for the sake of more sophisticated transmission quality, we recommend to manually reduce
the speed and bandwidth to achieve a more precise transmission quality.
Channel Number ：
Allowable channels, allowed users and maximum power levels within frequency ranges are
applied to countries accordingly. You may consult your local authorities. Here we add the
channel information for your reference. For further information, you may check Wikipedia.

8-1-1 Disable “Broadcast ESSID”— the easiest security setting
When you disable “Broadcast ESSID”, this ESSID won’t be found in available network list and
others won’t be able to access to the router. Therefore, you may think it in the way that “Disable
Broadcast ESSID” is the easiest way to secure your network.
8-1-2 Show List of Wireless Clients
When you press the “Show List” button of Wireless Clients, you can see the info of those
wireless client devices that are accessing to the router. Following comes with the example of the
list.
43
8-2 Encryption
The factory default is “Disable”. Click the dropdown menu,
you will see three encryption options: WEP / WPA
pre-shared key / WPA RADIUS.
Here we recommend you to choose WPA pre-shared key to
encrypt your network.
If you have enable the WPA2 encryption and setup your password when you were
running iQ Setup to setup your BR-6479Gn at the first time, you will see your settings
as follow and you can change your settings in this page as well.
8-2-1 WEP
When you choose WEP as your network encryption, you have two different options based on the
key length: 64-bit and 124-bit. The higher the encryption bit, the more secure your network.
However, neither 64-bit nor 128-bit encryption, they are both easier to be decoded than WPA. So
we suggest you to choose WPA as your network encryption method.
44
Key Length

8-2-2 WPA pre-shared key
When you enable WPA pre-shared key, you can see three encryption options: WPA (TKIP),
WPA2 (AES) and WPA (Mixed). WPA and WPA2 are different WPA versions and protection
mechanisms. WPA is Initial WPA version that supplies enhanced security over the older
WEP protocol. WPA 2 is the successor of WPA that provides additional security and its
encryption mechanism is stronger than WPA. Here we suggest you to choose WPA2 Mixed
so that you can have comprehensive WPA protection.
45
8-2-3 WPS RADIUS

8-4 WPS
WPS (Wi‐Fi Protected Setup) provides an easy and secure way to establish the connection
between BR-6479Gn and wireless clients. Any WPS‐compatible wireless clients can establish
secure connection with BR-6479Gn through simple push‐button type configuration or Pin Code
type configuration. We recommend you to have both WPA2 encryption and WPS to protect your
network.
Step 1.
As above mentioned, have your ESSID and WPA2 password settings done first.
Tips for MIS: If you have ESSID and WPA2 password settings done first, later when you set up
you WPS, the secure connection will be configured according to your ESSID and password.
Step 2.
When you move to this page, please get your WPS wireless adapter or device ready at the same
time.
Step 3.
Please click” Start PBC” or press the WPS button.
Enable your client WPS wireless adapter or device within 2 minutes and the WPS connection will
be done after that.
48
8-5 Access Control
Through Access Control, you can restrict your computers from accessing improper website or
using disallowed applications. Only computers with certain MAC address are allowed to access
the network or prevent computers in the list to access Internet.
8-6 Wireless Schedule
When you enable Wireless Schedule, you can schedule time within seven days to the open and
close the wireless network function, for example, 8:00~20:00, Monday through Friday, the
wireless network is accessible, but other time is unavailable. However, Wireless Schedule
function must be coped with the NTP Server, which means that your BR-6479Gn must connect
with Internet in order to get the network time from NTP Server.
49
Chapter 9: NAT
NAT (Network Address Translations) solves the problem of sharing a single IP address to
multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a valid Internet IP
address to get connected to Internet, but Internet service providers only provide very few IP
addresses to every user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single
Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to
Internet.
BR-6479Gn supports four types of NAT functions, and the instructions of these functions will be
given below.
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a way to map an entire network (or networks) to a single
IP address. It is necessary especially when the number of IP addresses assigned by your ISP is
less than the total numbers that you wish to provide for Internet access.
As for Fast NAT. it is a fast translation function, but has to go with other network devices’
functions, such as session control. Fast NAT is seldom used at home or in offices, so the default
setting is “Disable”
9-1 Port Forwarding
If your networking devices can run protocols, such as http, ftp, for external communications,
enable “Port Forwarding” can help you to keep them open to Internet access.
50
Private IP
Computer Name
Type
Port Range
Comment
Set the IP address for internal computers or devices usage
The Windows computer name can be chosen automatically.
Set up the network communication protocol.
The port number(s) of Internet IP address and private IP
address (the IP address on local network) must be the
same.
Input the starting port number in the left field, and input the
ending port number in the right field. If you only want to
redirect a single port number, just fill the port number in the
left field.
You may input texts(up to 16 alphanumerical characters) to
note this mapping,
9-2 Virtual Server
This function allows you to redirect a port on Internet IP address (on WAN port) to a specified
port of an IP address on local network, so you can setup an Internet service on the computer on
local network, without exposing it on Internet directly. You can also build various sets of port
redirection, to provide various Internet services on different local computers via a single Internet
IP address.
9-3 UPnP
UPnP allows other network devices to communicate with BR-6479Gn to exchange information
about network capability for intercommunication.
Enabling UPnP will make it easy for computers (Windows XP or above) to browse in Network
Neighborhood.
51
9-4 ALG
ALG (Application Layer Gateway) is a network connection ability which supports specific
network applications, such as game and instant online chat. Without ALG, these applications will
not be able to communicate with their server when working with BR‐6475nD.
52
Chapter 10: Firewall
BR-6479Gn supports several firewall functions, such as DMZ, Access Control, URL Blocking
and DoS, which will help you to protect your network and computer. To set up the
fore-mentioned functions, you will have to enable Firewall module function first.
10-1 DMZ
DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) is a special area in your local network that all computers in this area
uses private IP address. But these private IP addresses are mapped to a certain Internet IP
address, so other people on Internet can fully access those computers in DMZ.
Public IP Address
Client PC IP address
Add
Reset
You can select ‘Dynamic IP’ or ‘Static IP’ here. If you
select ‘Dynamic IP’, you have to select an Internet
connection session from dropdown menu; if you select
‘Static IP’, please input the IP address that you want to
map to a specific private IP address.
Input the private IP address that the Internet IP address
will be mapped to.
Add the mapping to port forwarding table.
Remove all inputted values.
53
10-2 Access Control
By using access control, you can restrict your computers from accessing improper website, or
using disallowed applications. You can even just allow computers with certain MAC address to
access the network, or deny the computers in the list from accessing Internet.
Enable MAC Filtering Table:
Check the box to enable MAC address based filtering, and select ‘Deny’ or ‘Allow’ to decide the
behavior of MAC filtering table. If you select deny, all MAC addresses listed in filtering table will
be denied from connecting Internet; if you select allow, only MAC addresses listed in filtering
table will be able to connect to Internet.
Enable IP Filtering Table:
This function is similar to MAC Filtering. The difference in between is that access to the router is
controlled by IP address and here it offers more settings values.
10-3 URL Blocking
If you want to prevent computers in local network from accessing certain website (like
pornography, violence, or anything you want to block), you can use this function to stop
computers in local network from accessing the site you defined here.
Please check “ Enable URL Blocking” first. Input the URL (host name or IP address of website,
like http://www.blocked‐site.co m or http://11.22.33.44), or the keyword which is contained in
URL (like pornography, cartoon, stock, or anything) in the URL/Keyword box field, then you can
54
block the URL according to your definition.
10-4 DoS (Denial of Service)
DoS (Denial of Service) is a common attack measure, by transmitting a great amount of data or
request to your Internet IP address and server, the Internet connection will become very slow,
and server may stop responding because the traffics is much more than it can handles.
BR-6479Gn has a built‐in DoS attack prevention mechanism; when you activate it, BR-6479Gn
will stop the DoS attack for you:
If you are not familiar with these functions, we suggest you to keep the factory default settings
and leave them to technician to set up for you in case that the router’s performance turns bad.
Ping of Death
Discard Ping from
WAN
Ping of Death is a special packet, and it will cause certain
computer to stop responding. Check this box and
BR-6479Gn will filter this kind of packet out.
Some malicious intruder will try to fill your network
bandwidth with a lot of PING request data packet, to
make your internet connection become very slow
Check this box and BR-6479Gn will ignore all inbound
55
Port Scan
Sync Flood
PING requests, but when you activate this function, you
will not be able to ping your own router from internet, too.
Some malicious intruder will try to use a ‘port scanner’ to
detect how many ports of your Internet IP address are
open. Check this box and BR-6479Gn will block all
traffics which are trying to scan your Internet IP address.
This is another kind of attack, which uses a lot of fake
connection request to occupy the memory of your server,
and try to make your server become unusable. Check
this box and BR-6479Gn will filter this kind of traffic out.
56
Chapter 11: QoS & iQoS
11-1 QoS
QoS (Quality of Service) setting is a way to quickly and effectively restrict the use of network
bandwidth. Because of limitations of SOHO products’ hardware and software, QoS can just offer
some simple features, but for the demand of home or small office local area network usage, it
has greatly improved an effective network bandwidth management.

Set the Remote IP Addresses that will trigger this
QoS rule (if only one IP address is involved, input the
IP address in left field only)
Set the Remote Port Range that will activate this
QoS.
If you’re creating a QoS rule for a specific type
of traffic, you can select it from this menu and
you don’t have to input port range above.
Select the protocol type here (TCP or UDP).
11-2 iQoS
Different from the aforementioned QoS function, iQoS is a quicker, easier, and more effective
way to manage Internet bandwidth. This is because iQoS can set specific packet transmission
priority based on different applications, just like the lane diversion with no interference. To online
game players or those who have special requirements for audio and video transmission, iQoS
bandwidth management is a very helpful tool for them. What you need to be noted is that iQoS
cannot be run with the QoS at the same time. You can only choose either iQoS or Qos. if QoS is
enabled, then the iQoS function will automatically disable ,but instead, if you enable iQos, the
QoS function will automatically disable.

as high to low and the factory default applications priorities are Network
browsing/P2P/FTP/Multimedia transmission/Online game. You can rearrange it as you wish. As
long as you double click any of the large icons, you can remove the application from the priority
table and the next icon will move left. On the contrary, when you double click the selected small

Glossary
Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s
IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same
network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out
towards the destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer
on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers
to have a domain name (such as www.Portablerouter.com) and one or more IP addresses (such
as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain
names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing
"Portablerouter.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The
DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS
server your ISP has assigned to you.
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone
lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables
and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps).
Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet for a
pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be disconnected.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address
consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, which identifies a single, unique
Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP
network address, and the host identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded decimal
numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything from 000 to 255,
or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb,
where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading
1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be
described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that
correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining
63
bits correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device’s network address is
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for routers
to route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for
the Internet router located at the ISP's office.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for
individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a
relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address
of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an
Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the
Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the
product’s serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home
network to use one IP address. Using the portable router’s NAT capability, you can access the
Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP
addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port
numbers:
Application

PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure data
transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for Ethernet
connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and the Point-to-Point
Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting information over Ethernet between
different manufacturers
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple parties so that
when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the interpretation of their behavior
is well defined and can be made objectively, without confusion or misunderstanding.
Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different
networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your
ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to
create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address
numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable
Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the
Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection
and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on
top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol.
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically
separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a graphical
user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar
Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device being
managed.
