Chapter 3 Advanced Configuration •PPPoE: 1492 •PPTP or L2TP: 1460 Network Setup The Network Setup section changes the settings on the network connected to the Router’s Ethernet ports. Wireless Setup is performed through the Wireless tab. Router IP This  presents  both  the  Router’s  IP  Address  and  Subnet Mask as seen by your network. Router IP Address Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) The settings allow you to configure the Router’s Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server function. The Router can be used as a DHCP server for your network. A DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each computer on your network. If you choose to enable the Router’s DHCP server option, make sure there is no other DHCP server on your network. Network Address Server Settings (DHCP) DHCP Server  DHCP is enabled by factory default. If you already have a DHCP server on your network, or you don’t want a DHCP server, then select Disable (no other DHCP features will be available). Starting IP Address  Enter a value for the DHCP server to start with when issuing IP addresses. Because the Router’s default IP address is 192.168.1.1, the Starting IP Address must be 192.168.1.2 or greater, but smaller than 192.168.1.253. The default Starting IP Address is 192.168.1.100. Maximum Number of DHCP Users  Enter the maximum number of PCs that you want the DHCP server to assign IP addresses to. This number cannot be greater than 253. The default is 50. Client Lease Time  The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the Router  with  their current  dynamic  IP  address.  Enter  the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will be automatically assigned a new dynamic IP address. The default is 0 minutes, which means one day. Static DNS (1-3) The Domain Name System (DNS) is how the  Internet  translates  domain  or  website  names  into Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another, enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers. WINS  The  Windows  Internet  Naming  Service  (WINS) manages  each  PC’s  interaction  with  the  Internet.  If  you use  a  WINS  server,  enter  that  server’s  IP  Address  here. Otherwise, leave this blank. Time Setting Select  the  time  zone  in  which  your  network  functions from this drop-down menu. (You can even automatically adjust for daylight saving time.) Time Setting Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. Setup > DDNS The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature.  DDNS  lets  you  assign  a  fixed  host  and  domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you  are  hosting  your  own  website,  FTP  server,  or  other server behind the Router. Before  you  can  use  this  feature,  you  need  to  sign up  for  DDNS  service  with  a  DDNS  service  provider, www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to use this feature, keep the default setting, Disable. DDNS The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature.

Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings This Wireless  >  Advanced Wireless  Settings  screen  is  used to set up the Router’s advanced wireless functions. These settings should only be adjusted by an expert administrator as incorrect settings can reduce wireless performance. Advanced Wireless Authentication Type  The  default  is  set  to  Auto, which allows either Open System or Shared Key authentication to be used. With Open System authentication, the sender and the recipient do NOT use a WEP key for authentication. With Shared Key authentication, the sender and recipient use a WEP key for authentication. Basic Rate  The Basic Rate setting is not actually one rate of transmission but a series of rates at which the Router can transmit. The Router will advertise its Basic Rate to the other wireless devices in your network, so they know which rates will be used. The Router will also advertise that it will automatically  select  the  best  rate  for  transmission.  The default setting is Default, when the Router can transmit at all standard wireless rates (1-2Mbps, 5.5Mbps, 11Mbps, 18Mbps,  and  24Mbps).  Other  options  are  1-2Mbps,  for use  with  older  wireless  technology,  and  All,  when  the Router  can  transmit  at  all  wireless  rates. The  Basic  Rate is not the actual rate of data transmission. If you want to specify the  Router’s  rate of  data  transmission,  configure the Transmission Rate setting. Transmission Rate  The rate of data transmission should be set depending on the speed of your wireless network. You can select from a range of transmission speeds, or you can select Auto to have the Router automatically use the fastest  possible  data  rate  and  enable  the  Auto-Fallback feature.  Auto-Fallback  will  negotiate  the  best  possible connection  speed  between  the  Router  and  a  wireless client. The default value is Auto. CTS  Protection  Mode  CTS  (Clear-To-Send)  Protection Mode should remain disabled unless you are having severe problems with  your Wireless-G products not  being  able to transmit to the Router in an environment with heavy 802.11b  traffic. This  function  boosts  the  Router’s  ability to  catch  all  Wireless-G  transmissions  but  will  severely decrease performance. Frame  Burst  Enabling  this  option  should  provide  your network  with  greater  performance,  depending  on  the manufacturer  of  your  wireless  products.  To  turn  on  the Frame Burst option, select Enable. The default is Disable. Beacon Interval  The default value is 100. Enter a value between 1 and 65,535 milliseconds. The Beacon Interval value  indicates  the  frequency  interval  of  the  beacon.  A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network. DTIM Interval  This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the  interval  of  the  Delivery  Traffic  Indication  Message (DTIM).  A  DTIM  field  is  a  countdown  field  informing clients  of  the  next  window  for  listening  to  broadcast and  multicast  messages. When  the  Router  has  buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Its clients Wireless > Advanced Wireless Settings Wireless-G Broadband Router  12
Chapter 3 Advanced Configuration hear  the  beacons  and  awaken  to  receive  the  broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Fragmentation  Threshold  This  value  specifies  the maximum  size  for  a  packet  before  data  is  fragmented into  multiple  packets.  If  you  experience  a  high  packet error  rate,  you  may  slightly  increase  the  Fragmentation Threshold. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold too low may  result  in  poor  network  performance.  Only  minor reduction of the default value is recommended. In most cases, it should remain at its default value of 2346. RTS Threshold  Should you encounter inconsistent data flow, only minor reduction of the default value, 2347, is recommended.  If  a  network  packet  is  smaller  than  the preset  RTS  threshold  size,  the  RTS/CTS  mechanism  will not be enabled. The Router sends Request to Send (RTS) frames  to  a  particular  receiving  station  and  negotiates the sending of  a data frame. After receiving an RTS, the wireless station responds with a Clear to Send (CTS) frame to acknowledge the right to begin transmission. The RTS Threshold  value  should  remain  at  its  default  value  of 2347. AP Isolation  This isolates all wireless clients and wireless devices on your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to communicate with the Router but not with each other. To use this function, select On. AP Isolation is turned Off by default. SecureEasySetup  This  feature  allows  you  to  enable  or disable the SecureEasySetup feature. Select Disabled  to disable  the  feature  and  turn  off  the  button’s  light.  The feature is Enabled by default. Click Save Settings to apply your changes, or click Cancel Changes to cancel your changes. Security > Firewall The Security > Firewall screen is used to configure a firewall that can filter out various types of unwanted traffic on the Router’s local network. Firewall Firewall Protection  To use firewall protection, keep the default selection, Enable. To turn off firewall protection, select Disable. Block WAN Requests Block  Anonymous  Internet  Requests  This  feature makes  it  more  difficult  for  outside  users  to  work  their way into your network. This feature is selected by default. Deselect  the  feature  to  allow  anonymous  Internet requests. Filter  Multicast  Multicasting  allows  for  multiple transmissions  to  specific  recipients  at  the  same  time.  If multicasting  is  permitted,  then  the  Router  will  allow  IP multicast  packets  to  be  forwarded  to  the  appropriate computers. This  feature  is  selected  by  default.  Deselect this feature to disable it. Filter  Internet  NAT  Redirection  This  feature  uses port  forwarding  to  block  access  to  local  servers  from local  networked  computers.  Select  Filter  Internet  NAT Redirection to filter Internet NAT redirection. This feature is not selected by default. Filter IDENT (Port 113)  This feature keeps port 113 from being scanned by devices outside of your local network. This feature is selected by default. Deselect this feature to disable it.

Appendix A Troubleshooting Appendix A: Troubleshooting Your computer cannot connect to the Internet. Follow these instructions until your computer can connect to the Internet: •Make sure that the Router is powered on. The Power LED should be green and not flashing. •If  the  Power  LED  is  flashing,  then  power  off  all  of your network devices, including the modem, Router, and  computers.  Then  power  on  each  device  in  the following order: 1. Cable or DSL modem 2. Router 3. Computer •Check  the  cable  connections. The computer  should be connected to one of the ports numbered 1-4 on the Router, and the modem must be connected to the Internet port on the Router. The modem does not have an Ethernet port. The  modem  is  a  dial-up  modem  for  traditional  dial-up service. To use the Router, you need a cable/DSL modem and high-speed Internet connection. You cannot use the DSL service to connect manually to the Internet. After you  have installed the Router, it  will  automatically connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you no longer need to connect manually. The  DSL  telephone  line  does  not  t  into  the  Router’s Internet port. The Router does not replace your modem. You still need your  DSL  modem  in  order  to  use  the  Router.  Connect the  telephone  line  to  the  DSL modem,  insert  the  setup CD  into  your  computer,  and  then  follow  the  on-screen instructions. When  you  double-click  the  web  browser,  you  are prompted for a username and password. If you want to get rid of the prompt, follow these instructions. Launch the web browser and perform the following steps (these steps are specific to Internet Explorer but are similar for other browsers): 1. Select Tools > Internet Options. 2. Click the Connections tab. 3. Select Never dial a connection. 4. Click OK. The  Router  does  not  have  a  coaxial  port  for  the  cable connection. The Router does not replace your modem.
