4.6.1. Virtual Service
Use the Virtual Server function when you want different servers/clients in your LAN to
handle different service/Internet application type (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) from
the Internet. Computers use numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular
service/Internet application type. The Virtual Server allows you to re-direct a particular
service port number (from the Internet/WAN Port) to a particular LAN private IP address
and its service port number. (See Glossary for an explanation on Port number)

4.6.2. DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly
from behind the NAT firewall, then you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way
Internet access by defining a DMZ Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all
packets going to your WAN port IP address to a particular IP address in your LAN. The
difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is that the virtual server
- 40 -

re-directs a particular service/Internet application to a particular LAN client/server,
whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) going to your WAN IP
address to a particular LAN client/server.

5. Appendix
: Troubleshooting
1. I cannot access the Web-based Configuration Utility from the Ethernet computer
used to configure the router.
Check that the LAN LED is on. If the LED is not on, verify that the cable for the LAN
connection is firmly connected.
Check whether the computer resides on the same subnet with the router’s LAN IP
address.
If the computer acts as a DHCP client, check whether the computer has been
assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. If not, you will need to renew the IP
address.
Use the ping command to ping the router’s LAN IP address to verify the connection.
Make sure your browser is not configured to use a proxy server.
Check that the IP address you entered is correct. If the router’s LAN IP address has
been changed, you should enter the reassigned IP address instead.
2. I forget Password (Reset the Router without Login)
Plug out the power of the Router.
Use a pencil to press and hold the default button on the back panel of the Router.
Then plug in the power of the Router.
Press and hold the default button wait for a few seconds until the CPU LED indicator
stays green.
Reboot the AP.
After the above those steps, the manufacture’s parameters will be restored in the
Router. The default password is guest.
3. I have some problems related to Connection with Cable Modem
Please follow the following steps to check the problems:
Check whether the DSL modem works well or the signal is stable. Normally there will
be some indicator lights on the modem, users can check whether the signal is ok or
the modem works well from those lights. If not, please contact the ISP.
Check the front panel of the Router, there are also some indicator lights there. When
the physical connection is correct, the Power light and the CPU light should be solid;
the WAN light should be blinking. If you use your computer, the corresponding LAN
port light should be blinking too. If not, please check whether the cables work or not.
Repeat the steps in WAN Setup Connect with Internet through DSL Modem.
4. I can browse the router’s Web-based Configuration Utility but cannot access the
Internet.
Check if the WAN LED is ON. If not, verify that the physical connection between the
router and the DSL/Cable modem is firmly connected. Also ensure the DSL/Cable
- 51 -
Wireless Broadband Router User manual
modem is working properly.
If WAN LED is ON, open the System Overview page of the Web configuration utility
and check the status group to see if the router’ s WAN port has successfully obtained
an IP address.
Make sure you are using the correction method (Dynamic IP Address, PPPoE, or
Static IP) as required by the ISP. Also ensure you have entered the correct settings
provided by the ISP.
For cable users, if your ISP requires a registered Ethernet card MAC address, make
sure you have cloned the network adapter’ s MAC address to the WAN port of the
router. (See the MAC Address field in WAN Setup.)
5. My wireless client cannot communicate with another Ethernet computer.
Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly. You may open the Device Manager in
Windows to see if the adapter is properly installed.
Make sure the wireless client uses the same SSID and security settings (if enabled)
as the Wireless Broadband Router.
Ensure that the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP settings are correct as required by your
network administrator.
If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, and check that the 802.11G Mode item in
Wireless Basic Setting page, is not configured to use 802.11G Performance.
Use the ping command to verify that the wireless client is able to communicate with
the router’s LAN port and with the remote computer. If the wireless client can
successfully ping the router’ s LAN port but fails to ping the remote computer, then
verify the TCP/IP settings of the remote computer.
