Introduction
v1.2, September 2006
Chapter 2
Wireless Configuration
This 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 Guidelines
The 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.
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”.
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:

Implementing Appropriate Wireless Security
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.
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.
KWGR614
Figure 2-1
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.

•
•
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 Settings
To 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.

•
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.
Note: The region selection feature may not be available in all countries.
•
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.
•

WEP
WEP offers the following options:
• Open System
With 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 Key
Shared 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.
• Auto
The router automatically detects whether Open System or Shared Key is being used.
WPA-PSK WPA-Pre-shared Key does perform authentication. WPA-PSK uses TKIP (Temporal Key
WPA2-PSK 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.

Information to Gather Before Changing Basic Wireless Settings
Before customizing your wireless settings, print this form and record the following information. If
you are working with an existing wireless network, the person who set up or is responsible for the
network must provide this information. Otherwise, you must choose the settings for your wireless
network. Either way, record the settings for your wireless network in the spaces below.
•
Wireless Network Name (SSID): ______________________________ The SSID identifies
the wireless network. You can use up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The SSID is case
sensitive. The SSID in the wireless adapter card must match the SSID of the wireless router. In
some configuration utilities (such as in Windows XP), the term “wireless network name” is
used instead of SSID.
•
If WEP Authentication is Used, circle one: Open System, Shared Key, or Auto.
Note: If you select Shared Key, the other devices in the network will not connect
unless they are set to Shared Key as well and are configured with the correct
key.
–
WEP Encryption key size. Choose one: 64-bit or 128-bit. Again, the encryption key size
must be the same for the wireless adapters and the wireless router.
–
Data Encryption (WEP) Keys. There are two methods for creating WEP data encryption
keys. Whichever method you use, record the key values in the spaces below.
• Passphrase method. ______________________________ These characters are case
sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters and click the Generate Keys

The 54Mpbs Wireless Router allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by computers
on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. The Block Services menu is
shown below:
Figure 3-2
Content Filtering
3-3
v1.2, September 2006
54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game
hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on your network sends a request for
service to a server computer on the Internet, the requested service is identified by a service or port
number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For
example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request.
To enable service blocking:
1. Select either Per Schedule or Always
2. Click Apply.
3. If you want to block by schedule, be sure to specify a time period in the Schedule menu, as
described in “Scheduling When Blocking Will Be Enforced” on page 3-6.
To specify a service for blocking:
1. Click Add. The Add Services menu will appear, as shown below:
Figure 3-3
2. From the Service Type list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list
already displays several common services, but you are not limited to these choices. To add any
additional services or applications that do not already appear, select “User Defined”.

Configuring a User Defined Service
To define a service, first you must determine which port number or range of numbers is used by
the application. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet
Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.” Service
numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of
the application. This information can usually be determined by contacting the publisher of the
application or from user groups of newsgroups.
1. Enter the Starting Port and Ending Port numbers. If the application uses a single port number,
enter that number in both boxes.
2. If you know that the application uses either TCP or UDP, select the appropriate protocol. If
you are not sure, select Both.
Configuring Service Blocking by IP Address Range
Under “Filter Services For”, you can block the specified service for a single computer, a range of
computers (having consecutive IP addresses), or all computers on your network.

Advanced Configuration of the Router
This 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 Triggering
Port 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.
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.
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.

Configuring for Port Forwarding to Local Servers
Although 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.
Figure 5-3
Note: 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.
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:

Editing or Deleting a Port Forwarding Entry
To 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 Example
If 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 Example
To set up an additional computer to play an Internet game:
1. Select the game again from the Services/Games list.

2. 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 Options
The 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 Server
The 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.

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 Firewall
The 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.

Setting the MTU Size
The 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 Options
The 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
Advanced Configuration of the Router
v1.2, September 2006

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup Parameters
The 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—255.255.255.0
These 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.
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.
•
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 server
By 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.
5-10
Advanced Configuration of the Router
v1.2, September 2006
54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
The 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 menu
Using Address Reservation
When 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.
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.
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.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
Using a Dynamic DNS Service
If 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.
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.
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.
Figure 5-7
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.

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.org
9. Click Apply to save your configuration.
Configuring Static Routes
Static 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.

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
When 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 Access
Using 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.
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.
To configure your router for Remote Management:

54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
1. From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Remote Management
Figure 5-10
2. 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.

5. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.
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.
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.
Figure 5-11
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: 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.

•
UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device
that is currently accessing the router and which ports (Internal and External) that device has
opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is
still active for each IP address.
Prioritizing Internet Traffic Using Application-Based QoS
Application-based QoS is an advanced feature that can be used for internet applications.
You can assign high priority to a particular internet service, or you can add a custom
service for an application by prioritizing one or more TCP and/or UDP destination port
numbers that are used by that application.
Adding a Listed Internet Service, Game, or Application
1. From the Advanced section of the main menu in the browser interface, select QoS.
Figure 5-12

2. If the Internet service, game, or application is listed in the Service Name list, select it and click
the Add button beside the Service Name list. The service will be added to the list of
Application-based QoS services with the Starting Port and Ending Port boxes already filled in.
For example, if NetMeeting is selected as the first service, the following will be displayed:
Figure 5-13
3. If the Internet service, game or application is not listed in the Service Name list, click Add
Custom Service.
Figure 5-14
a. Type a descriptive name in the Service Name box.
b. In the Service Type box, select the type of communications protocol used by the
application. Your choices are TCP, UDP, or TCP/UDP. If you are unsure about what
protocol is used, select TCP/UDP.

Troubleshooting
This 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 Functioning
After 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 On
If 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.

v1.2, September 2006
54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
Test Light Stays Amber
When 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 On
If 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.
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.
Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface
If 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.
6-2
Troubleshooting
v1.2, September 2006
54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
•
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.
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.
•
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 Connection
If 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.
Troubleshooting
6-3
v1.2, September 2006
54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
To 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.
OR
Configure 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:

•
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 Utility
Most 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 Router
You 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.net
3. Click on OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging  with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
Troubleshooting

v1.2, September 2006
54Mbps Wireless Router Model KWGR614 Reference Manual
If 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 Device
After 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 
where  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.

–
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 Password
This 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 Time
The 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.
