                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 79 4 Advanced Applications 4.1 Bandwidth Control If  there  are  multiple  PCs  behind  your  router  competing  for  limited  bandwidth resource, then you can use this feature to specify a reasonable amount of bandwidth for  each  such  PC,  so  that  no  one  will  be  over  stuffed  or  starved  to  death.  Click Advanced -> Bandwidth Control to enter the bandwidth control screen. Tip ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. 1M=128KByte/s. 2. The  volume  of  uplink  traffic/downlink  traffic  should  not  be  larger  than  that allowed on the router's  WAN  (Internet) port. You can  ask  your  ISP to provide  the volume of Internet traffic. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Bandwidth Control Application Example: If  you  share  a  4M-broadband  service  with  your neighbor.  He  always  downloads  a large  volume  of  data  from  Internet,  which sharply  frustrates  your Internet  surfing experience; you can use this feature to set limits for the volume of Internet traffic he can get. For example, you can split the 4M into two, so your neighbor can only use  up  to 2M  Internet  traffic and  you  can  enjoy  2M.  (Assuming  the  IP  address  of your neighbor's PC is 192.168.0.100. 2M=256KByte/s)  Configuration Procedures: ① Click Advanced -> Bandwidth Control. ② Click Add Bandwidth Control Rule.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 80  ③ Enter 192.168.0.100 in the IP Range fields. ④ Enter 32 in the Uplink Bandwidth field. ⑤ Enter 256 in the Downlink Bandwidth field. ⑥ Click Save to save your settings.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 81 ⑦ Click Reboot on the appearing screen to reboot the router.   ⑧ System returns to the bandwidth control screen after reboot. You can view the rule you just add. Also you can click Edit to edit the rule or Delete to delete the rule. You can also add more rules.   4.3 DDNS Dynamic  DNS  or  DDNS  is  a  term  used  for  the  updating  in  real  time  of  Internet Domain Name System (DNS) name servers. We use a numeric IP a ddress allocated by Internet Service Provider (ISP) to connect to Internet; the address may either be stable  ("static"),  or  may  change  from  one  session  on  the  Internet  to  the  next ("dynamic"). However, a numeric address is inconvenient to remember; an addr ess
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 82 which  changes  unpredictably  makes  connection  impossible.  The  DDNS  provider allocates  a  static  host  name  to  the  user;  whenever  the  user  is  allocated  a  new  IP address  this  is  communicated  to  the  DDNS  provider  by  software  running  on  a computer or network device at that address; the provider distributes the association between  the host  name  and  the  address  to  the  Internet's  DNS  servers  so  that  they may  resolve  DNS  queries.  Thus,  uninterrupted  access  to  devices  and  services whose numeric IP address may change is maintained. Click Advanced -> DDNS to enter the DDNS screen.    Tip ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. To use the DDNS feature,  you need  to have an account  with one of the  Service Providers in the drop-down menu first. 2.  This  router  supports  five  DDNS  service  providers:  88ip.cn3322.org,  gnway, dyndns and no-ip. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ DDNS Application Example: If  your  ISP  gave  you  a dynamic  (changing)  public  IP  address,  you want  to access your  router  remotely  but  you  cannot  predict  what  your  router's  WAN  IP  address will  be,  and  the  address  can  change  frequently.  In  this  case,  you  can  use  a commercial  Dynamic  DNS  service.  It  lets  you  register  your  domain  to  their  IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 83 If you obtain the following account from your dyndns.org service provider:  User Name: tenda Password: 123456 Domain Name: tenda.dyndns.org. And you want to use the PC at 218.88.93.33 to remotely access this router on port number 8090.   Configuration Procedures: ① DDNS Service: Select Enable. ② Service  Provider:  Select  your  DDNS  service  provider  from  the  drop-down menu. Here in this example, select dyndns. ③ User  Name:  Enter  the  DDNS  user  name  registered  with  your  DDNS  service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda. ④ Password:  Enter  the  DDNS  Password  registered  with  your  DDNS  service provider. Here in this example, enter 123456. ⑤ Domain  Name:  Enter  the  DDNS  domain  name  with  your  DDNS  service provider. Here in this example, enter tenda.dyndns.org. ⑥ Click Save to save your settings. ⑦ Click  Security  ->  Remote  Web  Management, enable  the  Remote  Web Management feature, enter 8090 in the Port field, 218.88.93.33 in the IP Address
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 84 field and then click Save to save your settings.    ⑧ Click Reboot on the appearing screen to reboot the router.   Now  you  can  access  the  router  from  the  Internet  by  entering http://tenda.dyndns.org:8090 in your browser. 4.1 Virtual Server You want to share resources on your PC with your friends who are not in your LAN. But,  by  default,  the  router's  firewall  blocks  inbound  traffic  from  the  Internet  to your  computers  except  replies  to  your  outbound  traffic.  You  can  use  the  Virtual Server feature to create exceptions to this rule so that your friends can access these files from external networks. Click Advanced -> Virtual Server to enter the configuration screen.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 85  Application Example: As shown in the diagram above, your PC (PC1: 192.168.0.100) connects to the router and runs a FTP server on port number 21. Your friend (PC3) wants to access the FTP server on your PC. Tip ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.  Make  sure  your  WAN  IP  address  (Internet  IP  address)  is  a  public  IP  address. Private IP addresses are not routed on the Internet. 2. Make sure you enter correct service port numbers. 3.  To  ensure  that  your  server  computer  always  has  the  same  IP  address,  assign  a static IP address to your PC. 4.  Operating  System  built-in  firewall  and  some  anti-virus  programs  may  block other PCs from accessing resources on your PC. So it is advisable to disable them before using this feature. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 86   Configuration Procedures: ① Ext  Port:  Enter  the  external  port  number  for  the  public  ports  at  the Internet interface. Here in this example, enter 21. Int Port: Enter the internal port number for the private ports at the computer on the router ’s local area network (LAN). Here in this example, enter 21.  ② Internal IP: Enter the IP address of your local computer that will provide this service. Here in this example, enter 192.168.0.100. ③ Protocol:  Specify  the  protocol  required  for  the  service  utilizing  the port(s). ④ Check Enable to activate this rule. ⑤ Click Save to save your settings. Now, your friends only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21in their browsers to access your FTP server. xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx is the router's WAN IP address. Assuming it is 172.16.102.89, then your friends need to enter  ftp://202.33.56.88:21 in their browsers.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 87 Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- If you use the port number 80 here, you must set the port number for remote web management (Click Tools -> Remote Web Management) to any port number excluding 80 to avoid collision. Otherwise the port forwarding feature may not be effective. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.2 DMZ Host The DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) function disables the firewall on the router for one device for a special purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing applications that are not compatible with NAT (Network Address Translation).   Click Advanced -> DMZ Host to enter the DMZ Host screen. Note -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.  DMZ  host  poses  a  security  risk. A  computer  configured as the DMZ  host  loses much  of  the  protection  of  the  firewall  and  becomes  vulnerable  to  attacks  from external networks. 2.  Hackers  may  use  the  DMZ  host  computer  to  attack  other  computers  on  your network. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------   Configuration Procedures: ① Enable: Check to enable the DMZ host. ② DMZ  Host  IP  Address:  The  IP  Address  of  the  device  for  which  the router ’s firewall will be disabled. Be sure to statically set the IP Address  of that device for this function to be consistent.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 88 ③ Click Save to save your settings. Tip ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1.  Be  sure  to  statically  set  the  IP  Address  of  the  computer  that  serves  as  a   DMZ host for this function to be consistent. 2. Security softwares such as anti-virus software and OS built-in firewall, etc may affect the DMZ host feature. Disable them if DMZ host fails.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.4 UPnP The  Universal  Plug  and  Play  (UPnP)  feature  allows  network  devices,  such  as computers  from  Internet,  to  access  resources  on  local  host  or  devices  as  needed. UPnP-enabled  devices  can  be  discovered  automatically  by  the  UPnP  service application  on  the  LAN.  If  you  use  applications  such  as  multiplayer  gaming, peer-to-peer  connections,  real-time  communications such as  instant  messaging, or remote  assistance  (a  feature  in  Windows  XP),  you  may  need  to  enable  Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) for better experience. Click Advanced -> UPnP to enter the UPnP screen. The UPnP feature is enabled by default.
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 89 4.6 Route Table Click Advanced -> Route Table to view the router's route table.    Knowledge Center ------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.Destination Network: The IP address of the final destination. "0.0.0.0" indicates any network segment. 2. Subnet Mask: The subnet mask for the specified destination. 3. Gateway:  This  is  the  next  router  on  the  same  LAN  segment  as  the  router  to reach. 4.  Metric:  This  stands  for  the  number  of  routers  between  your  network  and  the destination. 5. Interface: The interface between your router and the final destination.   ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4.5 Static Route Static routes  provide additional  routing information to  your router. Typically,  you do  not  need  to  add  static  routes.  However,  when  there  are  several  routers  in  the network, you may want to set up static routing. Static routing determines the path of the data in your network. You can use this feature to allow users on different IP domains  to  access  the  Internet  via  this  device.  It  is  not  recommended  to  use  this setting unless you are familiar  with static routing. In most cases, dynamic routing
                                            High Power Wireless AC1200 Dual Band Router 90 is  recommended,  because  this  feature  allows  the  router  to  detect  the  physical changes  of  the  network  layout  automatically.  If  you  want  to  use  static  routing, make  sure  the  router ’s  DHCP  function  is  disabl ed.    Click  Advanced  ->  Static Routing to enter the configuration screen.   Tip ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Gateway must be on the same IP segment as WAN or LAN segment as the router.  2. Subnet Mask must be entered 255.255.255.255 if destination IP address is a single host. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Static Route Application Example - Gateway IP address on the same IP segment as WAN IP:  For example, your company internal network and Internet are on different IP net segment and you want PCs on your LAN to access Internet and your company internal network via the Tenda Router. You can simply configuring static routes on the Tenda Router. The figure above depicts this application scenario.   Configuration Procedures:
