DS-Lite
Dual-stack lite (DS-Lite) is a technology that enables Internet service providers
to move to an IPv6 network while simultaneously handling IPv4 address
depletion. The DS-Lite architecture uses IPv6-only links between the provider
and the user while maintaining the IPv4 (or dual-stack) hosts in the user

Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a service which provides a hostname-to-IP service for
dynamic IP users. The changing nature of dynamic IPs means that it can be
difficult to access a service provided by a dynamic IP user; a DDNS service
though can map such dynamic IP addresses to a fixed hostname, for easier
access. The router supports several DDNS service providers, for more details
and to register for a DDNS account please visit the DDNS providers website(s),
examples of which are listed below.

A VPN is a virtual private network which you can connect to remotely. VPNs
are secure and encrypted. Your router has a built-in VPN server which you
can configure and access on your network devices, including smartphones,
tablets and computers.
1.
2.
Enable VPN server.
Export your VPN server configuration file. You can open this file on your
network device (smartphone, tablet, computer) using VPN software/app to
automatically connect to your VPN on your device.
You can choose which kind of configuration file to export,
depending on your requirement. “Send All Traffic Over VPN Server”
51
will configure your network device to use the VPN for all Internet
traffic. “Send Only Home Network Traffic over VPN Server” will
configure your network device to access the Internet as usual but
use the VPN to access your home (router) network. The 2nd option
is ideal if you only wish to use the VPN for remote access to your
home network. The 1st option will encrypt all Internet traffic
through the VPN.
3.
Setup a login account for your VPN. This is required to access your VPN on
your network device.
4.
Send the exported configuration file to your network device (e.g. via email,
cloud or USB). Open the file using VPN software or apps which are widely
available online, and enter your login details to connect to your VPN.
You can access further help to connect your network device to
your VPN by selecting your operating system under “OpenVPN

Appendix
Configuring your IP address
For first time access to the URL http://edimax.setup please ensure your
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address. This means your computer can
obtain an IP address automatically from a DHCP server. You can check if your
computer is set to use a dynamic IP address by following IV-1-1. How to check
that your computer uses a dynamic IP address.
Static IP users can also temporarily modify your computer’s IP address to be
in the same IP address subnet e.g. 192.168.2.x (x = 3 – 254) as the
RG21S/RA21S in order to access http://edimax.setup.
The RG21S/RA21S’s default IP address is 192.168.2.1.
The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different operating
systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in
IV-1-2. How to modify the IP address of your computer.
Static IP users please make a note of your static IP before you
change it.
You can assign a new IP address to the device which is within the subnet of
your network during setup or using the browser based configuration interface
(refer to III-3-4. LAN). Then you can access the URL http://edimax.setup in
future without modifying your IP address.
Please remember to change your IP address back to its original
value after the device is properly configured.

Glossary
Default Gateway (Wireless bridge): Every non-access point 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.Broadbandaccess
point.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 74.125.128.104). 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 "Broadbandaccess point.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).
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP
address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that
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.
140
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 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 access points 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 access point 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 broadband access
point’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.
141
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 Protocol Port Number

Access point: A access point 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
User 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.
