This allows a computer to be exposed to unrestricted two-way communication outside of your network. To enable DMZ, simply reserve an IP address for DMZ zone. Click the “Submit” button to save your changes. Only one computer can use DMZ at a time. Please note that enabling DMZ removes the protection of the firewall, which exposes the computer to intrusion. Use DMZ only when needed and not for extended periods of time. Note: Service Port Range : ( For Administrator only ) From 1~ 65535. 16 This function allow administrator to have access control by enter MAC address of client stations. 17 ROUTING SETTINGS 18 In Static Routing, the user has the ability to add a static route to the routing table by simple entering the destination IP, subnet mask, and gateway. Clicking on “Add” and then “Apply” which requires a restart for the IP address to be incorporated into the routing table. To delete a file from the list, just click the checkbox and click Delete. By default, the Router will not send or receive any routing Internet protocols (RIP) to update the routing table. However, the user can enable the Router to automatically send and receive RIP packets to establish routes for commonly used paths. 19 SYSTEM TOOLS The System Tools section enables you to manage your Wireless SOHO AP and view information related to unit functions. The following functions are described in this chapter. Load Default Settings: Restore settings to factory default. Firmware Upgrade: Upgrade the firmware with a latest version. Reset the Device: Reboot the Wireless SOHO AP. 20 Troubleshooting Basic Functions My Wireless SOHO AP Router will not turn on. No LED’s light up. Cause: The power is not connected. Resolution: Connect the power adapter to your SOHO AP Router and plug it into the power outlet. Note: Only use the power adapter provided with your SOHO AP Router. Using any other adapter may damage your SOHO AP Router. LAN Connection Problems I can’t access my SOHO AP Router. Cause: The unit is not powered on. There is not a network connection. The computer you are using does not have a compatible IP Address. Resolution: Make sure your SOHO AP Router is powered on. Use the WINIPCFG utility described in the appendix to make sure that your computer has a compatible IP Address. If your IP Address is not set correctly and you are using DHCP, use WINIPCFG to renew your IP Address. Otherwise, make correct changes to your Windows network settings. Make sure that the IP Address used on your computer is set to the same subnet as the Router. For example, if the Router is set to 192.168.2.1, change the IP address of your computer to 192.168.2.15 or another unique IP Address that corresponds to the 192.168.2.X subnet. Use the Reset button located on the front of your Router to revert to the default settings. 21 I can’t connect to other computers on my LAN. Cause: The IP Addresses of the computers are not set correctly. Network cables are not connected properly. Windows network settings are not set correctly. Resolution: Make sure that each computer has a unique IP Address. If using DHCP through the SOHO AP Router, makes sure that each computer is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” and restart the computer. Use the WINIPCFG and PING utilities described in the appendix to make sure that you can connect to each computer. Make sure that the Link LED is on. If it is not, try a different network cable. Check each computer for correct network settings. ISP Connection Problems I can access the Wireless SOHO AP Router, but I can’t connect to my ISP. Cause: Your DSL or Cable modem is not functioning correctly. The cable is connected from the WAN port of the Wireless SOHO AP Router to your DSL or Cable modem. The wrong connection type is used in Setup. The username and password is not input correctly. Resolution: Make sure that your DSL or Cable modem is running correctly and connected to the WAN port of the Broadband Router. Make sure that the right connection type is used in the web configuration. Make sure that the username and password used in the connection type is correct. Some ISP's do not care if you share your broadband connection among multiple users. Other ISP's will explicitly restrict this type of activity in your service contract. It is important that you verify that you are in accordance with your service agreement before sharing Internet access. 22 Wireless Troubleshooting I can’t access the Wireless SOHO AP Router from a wireless network card Cause: Settings are not the same among each wireless adapter. Out of range. IP Address is not set correctly. Resolution: Make sure that the Mode, SSID, Channel and encryption settings are set the same on each wireless adapter. Make sure that your computer is within range and free from any strong electrical devices that may cause interference. Check your IP Address to make sure that it is compatible with the Wireless SOHO Router. Performing a Factory Reset Follow these steps to perform a Factory Reset using the Reset button on the back of the Wireless SOHO AP. 1. With the unit on, press and hold the Reset button with a pen or paper clip. 2. Hold the reset button for about 5 or 6 seconds until the Power/Test LED on the front panel blinks very quickly and then release. 3. Wait a few seconds for the Broadband Router to reboot using default settings. A Factory Reset can also be performed through the web configuration interface. Follow these steps to perform a factory reset using the web configuration interface. 1. Log-in to the Wireless SOHO AP Router web configuration interface. 2. Click on the System Management link at the bottom of the screen. 3. Click on Restore Default Settings. 4. You will be asked if you want to restore to default settings. Click OK to restore settings to default configuration or click Cancel to discard any changes.
