Wireless Configuration 2-1v1.2, September 2006Chapter 2Wireless ConfigurationThis chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your 54Mpbs Wireless Router. In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should also select the physical placement of your wireless router in order to maximize the network speed. For further information on wireless networking, see “Wireless Communications” in Appendix B.Observing Performance, Placement, and Range GuidelinesThe operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices.For best results, place your wireless router as follows:• Near the center of the area in which your computers operates.• In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls).• Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and 2.4 GHz cordless phones.• Away from large metal surfaces.The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP and Wi-Fi Protected Access, Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK) encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer.When used on a metallic surface, Multiple Input, Multiple Output (MIMO) units must be oriented vertically to ensure proper operation:Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range and performance specifications, please see Appendix A, “Technical Specifications”.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual2-2 Wireless Configurationv1.2, September 2006Implementing Appropriate Wireless Security Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can be received well beyond your walls by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The 54Mpbs Wireless Router provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs.There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:•Restrict access based on MAC address. You can restrict access to only trusted computers so that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect to the KWGR614. MAC address filtering adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. •Turn off the broadcast of the Wireless Network Name SSID. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies the wireless network ‘discovery’ feature of some products such as Windows XP, but the data is still fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test equipment like wireless sniffers.•WEP. Provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper. Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11b/g wireless networks at a range of up to three hundred feet. Such distances can allow for others outside of your immediate area to access your network.Figure 2-1KWGR614

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualWireless Configuration 2-3v1.2, September 2006•WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK. Provides strong data security. WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK will block eavesdropping. Because these are new standards, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. •Turn off the wireless LAN. If you disable the wireless LAN, wireless devices cannot communicate with the router at all. You might choose to turn off the wireless LAN when you are away and others on the network all use wired connections.Understanding Wireless SettingsTo configure the Wireless settings of your wireless router, type http://www.routerlogin.net into your internet browser. Enter the default user name of admin and default password of password, or whatever LAN address and password you have set up. Click the Wireless link in the main menu of the browser interface. The Wireless Settings menu appears, as shown below.Figure 2-2

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual2-4 Wireless Configurationv1.2, September 2006•Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. In a setting where there is more than one wireless network, different wireless network names provide a means for separating the traffic. Any device you want to participate in a particular wireless network will need to use this SSID for that network. The KWGR614 default SSID is: NETGEAR.•Region. This field identifies the region where the KWGR614 can be used. It may not be legal to operate the wireless features of the wireless router in a region other than one of those identified in this field.•Channel. This field determines which operating frequency is used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies, please see “Wireless Communications” in Appendix B.•Mode. The “g and b” mode provides backward compatibility with the slower 802.11b wireless devices while still enabling 802.11g communications. The “b only” mode supports the slower 802.11b wireless mode only. Similarly, the “g only” mode supports the 802.11g wireless mode only.•Security Options. These options are the wireless security features you can enable. The table below identifies the various basic wireless security options. A full explanation of these standards is available in “Wireless Communications” in Appendix B.Note: The region selection feature may not be available in all countries.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualWireless Configuration 2-5v1.2, September 2006Table 2-1. Basic Wireless Security OptionsField DescriptionNone No wireless security.WEP WEP offers the following options:• Open SystemWith Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the KWGR614 does perform 64- or 128-bit data encryption but does not perform any authentication. • Shared KeyShared Key authentication encrypts the SSID and data.Choose the Encryption Strength (64- or 128-bit data encryption). Manually enter the key values or enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. Manually entered keys are case sensitive but passphrase characters are not case sensitive. Note: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support passphrase key generation.•AutoThe router automatically detects whether Open System or Shared Key is being used. WPA-PSKWPA2-PSK WPA-Pre-shared Key does perform authentication. WPA-PSK uses TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) data encryption and WPA2-PSK uses AES (Advanced Encryption Standard) data encryption. Both dynamically change the encryption keys, making them nearly impossible to circumvent.Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box. These characters are case sensitive.Note: Not all wireless adapter configuration utilities support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Windows XP Service Pack 1 with the WPA patch do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual2-6 Wireless Configurationv1.2, September 2006To configure the advanced wireless settings of your wireless router, click the Wireless Setup link in the Advanced section of the main menu of the browser interface.

5-1v1.2, September 2006Chapter 5Advanced Configuration of the RouterThis chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your 54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the Main Menu of the browser interface.Configuring Port TriggeringPort Triggering is an advanced feature that can be used to easily enable gaming and other internet applications. Port Forwarding is typically used to enable similar functionality, but it is static and has some limitations. Port Triggering opens an incoming port temporarily and does not require the server on the internet to track your IP address if it is changed by DHCP, for example. Port Triggering monitors outbound traffic. When the router detects traffic on the specified outbound port, it remembers the IP address of the computer that sent the data and triggers the incoming port. Incoming traffic on the triggered port is then forwarded to the triggering computer. Using the Port Triggering page, you can make local computers or servers available to the Internet for different services (for example, FTP or HTTP), to play Internet games (like Quake III), or to use Internet applications (like CUseeMe). Port Forwarding is designed for FTP, Web Server or other server based services. Once port forwarding is set up, a request from the Internet will be forwarded to the proper server. In contrast, port triggering will only allow request from Internet after a designated port is 'triggered'. Port triggering applies to chat and Internet games. Note: If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also enable UPnP according to the instructions at “Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)“ on page -17.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-4 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 2006Configuring for Port Forwarding to Local ServersAlthough the router causes your entire local network to appear as a single machine to the Internet, you can make a local server (for example, a Web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet. This is done using the Port Forwarding menu. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Port Forwarding to view the port forwarding menu, shown below..Use the Port Forwarding menu to configure the router to forward incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a Default DMZ Server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded. The DMZ Server is configured in the Security Menu.Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application or game you will provide and the IP address of the computer that will provide each service. Be sure the computer’s IP address never changes. To configure port forwarding to a local server:Figure 5-3Note: If you are unfamiliar with networking and routing, refer to “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B, to become more familiar with the terms and procedures used in this manual.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualAdvanced Configuration of the Router 5-5v1.2, September 20061. From the Service & Game box, select the service or game that you will host on your network.If the service does not appear in the list, refer to the following section, “Adding a Custom Service”.2. Enter the IP address of the local server in the corresponding Server IP Address box.3. Click the Add button.Adding a Custom ServiceTo define a service, game or application that does not appear in the Services & Games list, you must determine what port numbers are used by the service. For this information, you may need to contact the manufacturer of the program that you wish to use. When you have the port number information, follow these steps:1. If port forwarding services are already configured, make a note of the Start Port and the End Port used by each service.2. Click the Add Custom Service button.3. In the Service Name box, type a name.4. Enter an unused port number in the Starting Port box.Note: To assure that the same computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP address feature of your 54Mpbs Wireless Router. See “Using Address Reservation” on page 5-11 for instructions on how to use reserved IP addresses.Figure 5-4

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-6 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 20065. To forward only one port, enter it again in the Ending Port box. To specify a range of ports, enter the last port to be forwarded in the Ending Port box, making sure that the range of ports being forwarded does not overlap with any currently configured services.6. Enter the IP address of the local server in the corresponding Server IP Address box.7. Click Apply at the bottom of the menu.Editing or Deleting a Port Forwarding EntryTo edit or delete a Port Forwarding entry, follow these steps.1. In the table, select the button next to the service name.2. Click Edit or Delete.Local Web and FTP Server ExampleIf a local computer with a private IP address of 192.168.1.33 acts as a Web and FTP server, configure the Ports menu to forward HTTP (port 80) and FTP (ports 20 and 21) to local address 192.168.1.33. To access this server from the Internet, the remote user must know the IP address that has been assigned by your ISP. If this address is 172.16.1.23, for example, an Internet user can access your Web server by directing the browser to http://172.16.1.23. The assigned IP address can be found in the Router Status Menu, where it is shown as the WAN IP Address.Some considerations for this application are:• If your account’s IP address is assigned dynamically by your ISP, the IP address may change periodically as the DHCP lease expires.• If the IP address of the local computer is assigned by DHCP, it may change when the computer is rebooted. To avoid this, you can manually configure the computer to use a fixed address.• Local computers must access the local server using the computers’ local LAN address (192.168.1.33 in this example). Attempts by local computers to access the server using the external IP address (172.16.1.23 in this example) will fail.Multiple Computers for Internet Game ExampleTo set up an additional computer to play an Internet game: 1. Select the game again from the Services/Games list.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualAdvanced Configuration of the Router 5-7v1.2, September 20062. Change the beginning port number in the Start Port box. For these games, use the supplied number in the default listing and add +1 for each additional computer. For example, if you've already configured one computer to play Hexen II (using port 26900), the second computer's port number would be 26901, and the third computer would be 26902. 3. Type the same port number in the End Port box that you typed in the Start Port box. 4. Type the IP address of the additional computer in the Server IP Address box. 5. Click Apply. Some online games and videoconferencing applications are incompatible with NAT. The 54Mpbs Wireless Router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default in the Ports Menu. If one local computer acts as a game or videoconferencing host, enter its IP address as the default.Configuring the WAN Setup OptionsThe WAN Setup options let you configure a DMZ server, change the MTU size and enable the wireless router to respond to a Ping on the WAN port. These options are discussed below.Setting Up a Default DMZ ServerThe default DMZ server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports menu. Instead of discarding traffic for services you have not defined, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Server.Note: DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server can be used to attack your network.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-8 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 2006If you are willing to risk open access, the WAN Setup menu shown below lets you configure a Default DMZ Server. To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server, follow these steps: 1. Click the WAN Setup link on the Advanced section of the main menu. 2. Check the Default DMZ Server box and type the IP address for that server. To remove the default DMZ server, uncheck the Default DMZ Server box.3. Click Apply.Disabling the SPI FirewallThe SPI (Stateful Packet Inpection) Firewall protects your LAN against Denial of Service attacks. This should only be disabled in special circumstances.Responding to Ping on the Internet WAN Port If you want the router to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, click the ‘Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port’ check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your router to be discovered. Do not check this box unless you have a specific reason to do so.Figure 5-5

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualAdvanced Configuration of the Router 5-9v1.2, September 2006Setting the MTU SizeThe default MTU size is usually fine. The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes. For some ISPs, particularly some using PPPoE, you may need to reduce the MTU to 1492. This should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary by your ISP. Any packets sent through the router that are larger than the configured MTU size will be repackaged into smaller packets to meet the MTU requirement. To change the MTU size:1. Under MTU Size, enter a new size between 64 and 1500.2. Click Apply to save the new configuration.Using the LAN IP Setup OptionsThe second feature category under the Advanced heading is LAN IP Setup. This menu allows configuration of local TCP/IP addresses, DHCP and address reservation. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on LAN IP Setup to view the LAN IP Setup menu, shown below.Figure 5-6

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-10 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 2006Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup ParametersThe router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act.as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:• LAN IP addresses—192.168.1.1• Subnet mask—255.255.255.0These addresses are part of the IETF-designated private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu.The LAN IP parameters are:•IP Address. This is the LAN IP address of the router.•IP Subnet Mask. This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router.Using the Router as a DHCP serverBy default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing” in Appendix B for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or to manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the ‘Use router as DHCP server’ check box. Otherwise, leave it checked. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.253, although you may wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualAdvanced Configuration of the Router 5-11v1.2, September 2006The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:• An IP Address from the range you have defined• Subnet Mask• Gateway IP Address (the router’s LAN IP address)• Primary DNS Server (if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu; otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address)• Secondary DNS Server (if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menuUsing Address ReservationWhen you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always receive the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. To reserve an IP address: 1. Click the Add button. 2. In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, 192.168.1.X. 3. Type the MAC Address of the computer or server.4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table. Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer contacts the router's DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew. To edit or delete a reserved address entry: 1. Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete. 2. Click Edit or Delete.Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC address from the Attached Devices menu and paste it here.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-12 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 2006Using a Dynamic DNS ServiceIf your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you will not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial dynamic DNS service, which will allow you to register your domain to their IP address, and will forward traffic directed at your domain to your frequently-changing IP address.The router contains a client that can connect to many popular dynamic DNS services. You can select one of these services and obtain an account with them. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your router will automatically contact your dynamic DNS service provider, log in to your account, and register your new IP address.To configure Dynamic DNS:1. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Dynamic DNS.2. Register for an account with one of the dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the ‘Service Provider’ box. For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.Note: If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on the Internet.Figure 5-7

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualAdvanced Configuration of the Router 5-13v1.2, September 20063. Check the Use a dynamic DNS service check box. 4. Select your dynamic DNS Service Provider from the Service Provider box. 5. Type the Host Name (or domain name) that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.6. Type the User Name for your dynamic DNS account. 7. Type the Password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account. 8. If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you may select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org9. Click Apply to save your configuration.Configuring Static RoutesStatic Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Routes to view the IP Static Routes menu, shown below. To add or edit a Static Route:Figure 5-8

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-14 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 20061. Click the Add button to open the Add/Edit Menu.2. Type a route name for this static route in the Route Name box under the table. This is for identification purposes only. 3. Check the Private box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. 4. Select Active to make this route effective. 5. Type the Destination IP Address of the final destination. 6. Type the IP Subnet Mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. 7. Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router. 8. Type a number between 1 and 15 as the Metric value. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. 9. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table. As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.• Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.Figure 5-9

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualAdvanced Configuration of the Router 5-15v1.2, September 2006When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the company’s firewall.In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. In this example:• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. • The Gateway IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. • A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN. • Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.Enabling Remote Management AccessUsing the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure, upgrade and check the status of your 54Mpbs Wireless Router.To configure your router for Remote Management:Note: Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual5-16 Advanced Configuration of the Routerv1.2, September 20061. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Remote Management2. Check the Turn Remote Management On check box.3. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management. For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.a. To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. b. To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP address range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range. c. To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only this Computer. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. 4. Specify the Port Number that will be used for accessing the management interface.Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.Figure 5-10

Click Apply to have your changes take effect.Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on UPnP. Set up UPnP according to the guidelines below. •Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If disabled, the router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router. Note: When accessing your router from the Internet, you will type your router's WAN IP address into your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, you must enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.Figure 5-11Note: If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.

6-1v1.2, September 2006Chapter 6TroubleshootingThis chapter gives information about troubleshooting your 54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614. After each problem description, instructions are provided to help you diagnose and solve the problem.Basic FunctioningAfter you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power light is on.2. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:a. The Test light is off.b. The LAN port lights are lit for any local ports that are connected.c. The Wireless LED is lit.d. The Internet port light is lit.If a port’s light is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the port’s light is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the light will be amber.If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section.Power Light Not OnIf the Power and other lights are off when your router is turned on:• Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. • Check that you are using the 5 V DC 1A power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual6-2 Troubleshootingv1.2, September 2006Test Light Stays AmberWhen the router is turned on, the Test light is amber and then changes to green after about 10 seconds. If the Test light stays amber, there is a fault within the router.If the Test light is still amber 1 minute after power-on:• Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.• Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page -7.If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.LAN or Internet Port Lights Not OnIf either the LAN lights or Internet light do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following:• Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation.• Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.• Be sure you are using the correct cable.Troubleshooting the Web Configuration InterfaceIf you are unable to access the router’s Web Configuration interface from a computer on your local network, check the following:• Check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the previous section.Note: When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualTroubleshooting 6-3v1.2, September 2006• Make sure your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Refer to “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in Appendix B for instructions on how to verify TCP/IP properties and for instructions on how to configure your computer.• If your router’s IP address has been changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s IP address to www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained in “Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page -7.• Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded.• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this information.If the router does not save changes you have made in the Web Configuration Interface, check the following:• When entering configuration settings, be sure to click Apply before moving to another menu or tab, or your changes will be lost. • Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but the Web browser may be caching the old configuration.Troubleshooting the ISP ConnectionIf your router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether the router is able to obtain a WAN IP address from the ISP. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address, your router must request an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the Web Configuration Manager.Note: If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the router and reboot your computer.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual6-4 Troubleshootingv1.2, September 2006To check the WAN IP address: 1. Launch your browser and select an external site such as www.netgear.com.2. Access the Main Menu of the router’s configuration at http://www.routerlogin.net. 3. Under the Maintenance heading, select Router Status.4. Check that an IP address is shown for the Internet (WAN) Port.If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP.If your router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, you may need to force your cable or DSL modem to recognize your new router by performing the following procedure:1. Turn off power to the cable or DSL modem. 2. Turn off power to your router. 3. Wait five minutes and reapply power to the cable or DSL modem. 4. When the modem’s lights indicate that it has reacquired sync with the ISP, reapply power to your router.5. Then restart your computer.If your router is still unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem may be one of the following:• Your ISP may require a login program.Ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of login.• If your ISP requires a login, you may have incorrectly set the login name and password.• Your ISP may check for your computer's host name.Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account as the Account Name in the Basic Settings menu.• Your ISP only allows one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and may check for your computer’s MAC address. In this case:Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the router’s MAC address.ORConfigure your router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. This can be done in the Basic Settings menu.If your router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any Web pages from the Internet:

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualTroubleshooting 6-5v1.2, September 2006• Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address as described in “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in Appendix B. Alternatively, you may configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.• Your computer may not have the router configured as its TCP/IP gateway.If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer and verify the gateway address. For details, see “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in Appendix B.Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using a Ping UtilityMost TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP network is made very easy by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.Testing the LAN Path to Your RouterYou can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly.To ping the router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:1. From the Windows toolbar, click on the Start button and select Run.2. In the field provided, type Ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:ping www.routerlogin.net3. Click on OK.You should see a message like this one:Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of dataIf the path is working, you see this message:Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxxIf the path is not working, you see this message:Request timed out

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual6-6 Troubleshootingv1.2, September 2006If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:• Wrong physical connections– Make sure the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in “LAN or Internet Port Lights Not On” on page 6-2.– Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and router.• Wrong network configuration– Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your computer or workstation.– Verify that the IP address for your router and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote DeviceAfter verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device. From the Windows run menu, type:PING -n 10 <IP address>where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies:– Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default gateway. For details, refer to “Preparing a Computer for Network Access” in Appendix B.– Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.– Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.– If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the Account Name in the Basic Settings menu.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference ManualTroubleshooting 6-7v1.2, September 2006– Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by only allowing traffic from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to “clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer. To do this, click on the Basic Settings link under the Setup heading of the browser interface at www.routerlogin.com, and click the Use Computer MAC Address radio button.Restoring the Default Configuration and PasswordThis section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the router’s administration password to password and the IP address to www.routerlogin.net. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:• Use the Erase function of the router (see “Erasing the Configuration” on page 4-11).• Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known.To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router.1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the power light blinks on (about 10 seconds).2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot.If the wireless router fails to restart or the test light stays on, the unit may be defective. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.Problems with Date and TimeThe E-mail menu in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The 54Mpbs Wireless Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include:• Date shown is January 1, 2000. Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time again.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual6-8 Troubleshootingv1.2, September 2006• Time is off by one hour. Cause: The router does not automatically sense Daylight Savings Time. In the E-mail menu, select or clear the checkbox marked “Adjust for Daylight Savings Time”.
