which ranges the External ports used to set the
server or Internet applications.
¾ LAN IP: Enter the IP address of the PC which you
want to set as the server.
¾ Protocol: Select the protocol (TCP/UDP/Both) for
the application. If you are not clear about the
11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
53
protocol you are using, you can select “Both”.
¾ Enable: Click the Enable checkbox to bring the set
rule into effect.
¾ Delete: Clear all settings of this item.
¾ Well-known service port: The well-known
protocol ports are listed in the drop-down list.
Select one and select a sequence number in the ID
drop-down list and then click “Add”, this port will be
added automatically to the ID list. For other well
known service ports that are not listed, you can
manually add them to the list.
¾ Add to: Add the selected well-known port to the
policy ID.
For Example: You want to share some large files with
your friends outside of your local area network, however,
they are too big, and it’s not convenient to transfer
them. Then, you can build a FTP server on your
computer and set the router’s port range forwarding to
enable your friends to access to these files on your
computer. Suppose that your FTP server or your
computer’s static IP address is 192.168.0.10, and you
wish your friends can access the server through the
default port 21 and adopts TCP protocol.
Please follow the steps below to configure.
1.Enter 21 in both start port and end port fields, or you
can also select FTP from the well-known service port
11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
54
and its port 21 will be added to the corresponding field
automatically.
2. Enter 192.168.0.10 in the LAN IP column, and then
select “Both” as the protocol and select “Enable”.
3. As the picture shown below.
4. Click the “Ok” button to save the settings.
And now, when your friends want to visit the FTP server,
they only need to enter ftp://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:21 in the
address field. Here, xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx means the router’s
WAN IP address. For example, when your router’s WAN
IP address is 172.16.102.89; your friends need to enter
11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
55
ftp://172.16.102.89:21 in the address field.
NOTE:
If you set the service port of the virtual server as 80,
you must set the Web management port on Remote
Web Management screen to be any value except 80
such as 8080. Otherwise, there will be a conflict to
disable the virtual server.

Chapter 9 Routing Settings
9.1 Routing Table
This page shows the router’s core routing table.
The main duty for a router is to look for a best path for
every data packet, and transfer this data packet to a
destination station. In order to fulfill this function, many
transferring paths, i.e. routing table, are saved in the
router, for choosing when needed.
9.2 Static Routing
This screen is used to set the router’s static routing.
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or
network.
11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
69
Destination network IP address: The destination
host or IP segment you visit.
Subnet mask: Enter the subnet mask, generally it is
255.255.255.0
Gateway: The entry IP address of the next router.
NOTE:
1. The gateway must be at the same net segment with
the router’s LAN IP.
2. If the destination IP address is one host’ address,
then the subnet mask must be 255.255.255.255.
3. If the destination IP address is an IP segment, then it
must match with the subnet mask. For example, if the
destination IP is 10.0.0.0 then the subnet mask must be
255.0.0.0

The DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is
supported in this Router. It is used to assign a fixed host
and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address.
Every time you access the Internet, the dynamic
domain name software installed on your host will tell the
ISP’S host server its dynamic IP address by sending
messages. And the server software is responsible for
providing DNS service and implementing dynamic
domain name resolution.
11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
72
¾ Main features:
1. Mostly, your ISP provides a dynamic IP address
and the DDNS is used to capture the changeable IP
address and match to the fixed domain. Then users

Appendix 1 Glossary
Channel:
An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing
protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used
simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other
instances of medium use(on other channels) by other
instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an
acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual
interference.
SSID:
SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the network name
shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your
network’s SSID should be unique to your network and
identical for all devices within the network. It is
case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use
any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure this
setting is the same for all devices in your wireless
network.
WPA/WPA2 Encryption:
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on
the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data
transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the
added strength of WPA is that the key changes
dynamically. The changing key makes it much more
difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to
11N Wireless Broadband Router User Guide
84
the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA
security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism
through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is
a requirement for some government users.
802,1x authentication
Static WEP key is difficult to manage for when you
change the key, you will have to inform all others, and if
the key is disclosed in one of the places, the key can no
longer provide security. Besides, there’s severe security
loophole about static WEP encryption. The WEP key can
be decrypted after one person receives a specific
amount of data via wireless intercepting. 802,1x is
initially used for wired Ethernet authentication access to
prevent illegal users from accessing the network. Later,
it is found that 802.1x can better solve the wireless
network security problem. EAP-TLS of the 802.1x
successfully achieves the two-way authentication
between users and networks, i.e. can prevent illegal
users from accessing the network and can also prevent
users from accessing the illegal AP. 802.1x utilizes
dynamic WEP encryption to protect the WEP key from
being decrypted. To solve the publishing problem for
digital certification, people make some changes to TLS
authentication and TTLS and EAP come into exist, which
enable you to access the network by using the
traditional way of authentication: username and
password.
