Installing the Wireless-N Router
Package Contents
The package contains the Zoom Wireless-N Router, an RJ-45 Ethernet cable, a 5V
1.2A Power adapter, a Quick Start installation flyer, and a CD that contains additional
documentation and warranty information.
If anything is missing or damaged, please contact Zoom Customer Support or
whoever provided the Wireless-N Router.
System Requirements
Any DSL or cable modem or modem/router that has an Ethernet port should work with
the Wireless-N Router. The Wireless-N Router also works with many but not all
mobile broadband USB modems and smartphones. For an up-to-date list of modems
and smartphones known to be compatible with the Wireless-N Router and/or to
download the latest firmware, please go to www.zoomtel.com/router/comp. We
attempt to support all popular mobile broadband (such as LTE, 4G, LTE, 3G) USB
modems and smartphones, but this is challenging because new ones are introduced
almost every day. If you’d like to let us know about a mobile broadband modem or
smartphone that is incompatible with the router, please send an email to
3Gcomp@zoomtel.com
You can even use your mobile broadband modem as a backup to your DSL or cable
modem. If the DSL or cable Internet connection fails, the Wireless-N Router can be
set up to automatically switch over to mobile broadband for Internet access.
Connecting a DSL or Cable Modem to Your Router
If you wish to use the router with a DSL or Cable connection, please go to Chapter 2:
Using the Configuration Manager. If you wish to use the router with a mobile
broadband modem or tethered phone, please continue below.

If you are considering using the router with a tethered phone or tablet,
please consider the following:
Chapter 1. Installing the Travel Router with Wireless-N
Some service providers do not want you to connect your mobile phone
or tablet to a computer or router unless you have signed up for a data
plan that allows data tethering. These plans are commonly called Data
Tethering, Mobile Broadband Connect, 3G Mobile Hotspot, Phone as a
Modem, or Laptop Connect.
¾ Your router only supports tethering with a USB cable. It does not support
tethering over WiFi or Bluetooth®.
¾ When using your Phone or Tablet as a modem, you can turn off WiFi and
Bluetooth to conserve the phone’s battery.
¾ You may need to change the settings of the USB port on your phone or
tablet to be used with tethering. Refer to your phone’s or tablet’s
documentation on how to do this or go to www.zoomtel.com/tethering
for some information for common phones or see Appendix B in the User
Manual on the CD for instructions on Tethering on the iPhone®.
¾ If you have difficulty connecting to the Internet when your phone or tablet
is plugged into the Zoom router, verify that you can browse the Internet
with your phone or tablet directly connected to a PC. If you can’t
browse with the phone or tablet connected directly to a PC, contact your
wireless service provider for help. If you can connect through your PC
but not when attached to the Zoom router, please contact Zoom Support.
See Registering your Product and Getting Help at the end of this
Quick Start.
Non-Android Smartphone or Tablet users should go to Connecting a Modem or
non-Android Smartphone or Tablet to Your Router. Android users should
continue below.
¾
Connecting an Android based Smartphone or Tablet to Your
Router
If you are using an Android based smartphone, you should check whether your phone
is already supported; and if not, you should download the ZoomTether application. To
check whether your Android phone is already supported, please go to
http://www.zoomtel.com/router/comp and click on the Check Smartphone
Compatibility link. If your phone is listed on the compatibility list, you do not need to
download the ZoomTether application. If you phone is not listed specifically on this
page or if you have an Android based tablet with mobile broadband capability, please
go to http://www.zoomtel.com/ztdownload to download ZoomTether into your Zoom
Router. Then when you plug your Android smartphone or tablet into the router, the
router will install an application on your phone or tablet that allows tethering to work.
The website provides directions on how to install and configure your Router to use
this code.
If your Router is not working with your Android smartphone or tablet see
Troubleshooting your Internet Connection, otherwise go to Chapter 2, Using the
Configuration Manager to learn how to:
¾ Enable Wireless Security.
¾ Change the router’s password to prevent users on your network from
changing the settings of the Wireless-N Router.
Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
¾
Change other wireless settings such as your Wireless Network Name
(SSID) or you wish to disable WiFi access to your router.
Connecting a Modem or a non-Android based Smartphone
or Tablet to Your Router
If you are using a mobile broadband USB modem to connect to the Internet, plug
the USB modem into the router’s USB port (see 1.1). If you are using a phone or
tablet to connect to the Internet, plug one end of the USB cable that probably
came with your phone or tablet into the router and the other end into your phone
(see 1.2).
1.1
1.2
Connect the power adapter to the receptor on the back panel of your router and
plug the other end of the power adapter into a wall outlet or power strip.
After the router is powered up, the router’s 4G/3G light should turn solid green
within 2 minutes indicating that a mobile broadband connection has been made
and that the router has gotten an IP address. If the 4G/3G light does not turn solid
green, unplug the modem, phone, or tablet, plug it in again, and wait to see
whether the 4G/3G light turns solid green within 2 minutes. If the 4G/3G light still
does not turn and remain solid green, see Troubleshooting Your Internet
Connection below.
A computer, mobile phone, game station, or other device with wireless 802.11n, g,
or b capability can access the Internet wirelessly through the mobile broadband
router. To make the WiFi-compatible wireless connection, you must first locate the
wireless network connection setup on your device, and then select the Zoom
network. For example, on Windows computers, click the wireless connection icon
on the Task Bar, click Available Wireless Networks, select Zoom from the list of
available wireless networks, and then make the connection.
The router comes set up for wireless with no security. If you want wireless security,
you need to set up the mobile broadband router and each device for the security
that you want. To learn how to enable wireless security on your Router please see
Chapter 2, Using the Configuration Manager.
You may want to plug a computer or other device into one of the router’s 4
Ethernet ports. This is recommended if you’re changing the router’s default values,
and sometimes an Ethernet connection is more convenient or secure than
connecting to the router wirelessly. To connect via Ethernet, simply plug the
Chapter 1. Installing the Travel Router with Wireless-N
7
router’s Ethernet cable between the router’s Ethernet port and your computer or
other device’s Ethernet port, then re-boot the computer to make sure it knows that
the Router is plugged in.
Open your browser on your computer or other device and verify that you are able
to connect to the Internet. If you are unable to connect, refer to the
Troubleshooting Your Internet Connection section below. Otherwise go to
Chapter 2, Using the Configuration Manager to learn how to:
¾ Enable Wireless Security.
¾ Change the router’s password to prevent users on your network from
changing the settings of the Wireless-N Router.
¾ Change other wireless settings such as your Wireless Network Name
(SSID) or you wish to disable WiFi access to your router.
Troubleshooting Your Internet Connection
If you are unable to connect to the Internet through your router, please check the
following:
If you are connecting a device wirelessly to your Wireless-N Router, make sure
that the device has the same security settings as the Wireless-N Router. If it does
not, you will need to change the security settings of the Wireless-N Router or
device as discussed in chapters 2 and 3.
If you are using the Wireless-N Router with a mobile broadband modem or phone,
verify that you are in a mobile broadband coverage area and that your modem or
cell phone can receive a signal at your location. You may want to try changing the
location of your router - for example, by moving the router closer to a window.
If you are using a tethered mobile phone, go over the points in the If you are
considering using the router with a tethered phone, please consider the
following box on page 5.
If you are using the Wireless-N Router with a mobile broadband modem or phone,
verify that your modem or phone is recognized by your router. To do this:
a. Login to the router as described in steps 1-3 of Launching the Router’s
Configuration Manager in Chapter 2: Using the Configuration
Manager.
b. Click on Status.
c. Locate the Card Info field on the Status page to see if your card is
recognized. If your card is not seen under Status, verify that your modem
or phone is compatible with your router. See

Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
configuration, insert the blunt end of a paper clip into the RESET hole on the side
panel of the router. Hold the clip in place for seven (7) seconds.
Please continue to Chapter 2.
Chapter 1. Installing the Travel Router with Wireless-N
2
Using the Configuration Manager
Your Wireless-N Router is preset with default values that meet the needs of most
users. However, you can change these settings using the router's built-in
Configuration Manager.
Here are some reasons why you might want to use the Configuration Manager:
• You have a DSL or cable modem.
• You want to set or change some settings of your Router. For instance, you
may want to change the login password or time zone or change wireless
settings to, for instance, turn on WiFi®-compatible security.
• You want to set up some advanced features of the Wireless-N Router such as
a virtual server or DMZ for use with online gaming. You can find a summary of
those features in the Changing Default Settings section near the start of
Chapter 5, on page 41.
Launching the Router's Configuration Manager
To launch the Configuration Manager, please follow these steps:
If you haven't already done so, connect the power adapter to the receptor on
the back panel of your router and plug the other end of the power adapter into
a wall outlet or power strip.
Plug the supplied Ethernet cable into an Ethernet port on the router’s back
panel and into your computer’s Ethernet port.
Turn on your router first, then your computer. Once the computer is on, launch
the computer’s Web browser.
In the Web browser address bar, type the router's default IP address,
http://192.168.2.1 and then click Enter.
When the MAIN MENU opens for the first time, it displays a System Status page
that summarizes the current settings and values for your system.

On the Toolbar, type admin (the default password) in the System Password field,
then click Login.
By default the configuration manager is set to English. If you wish to change it
to Spanish select Español from the drop down box on the Toolbar.
When you log in, the Configuration Manager opens its Main Menu.
•
You should use the Configuration Manger’s Setup Wizard if any of the
following apply to you.
¾ You wish to set up a Cable or ADSL modem to work with the Wireless-N
Router.
¾ You wish to change Wireless Security. By default Wireless Security is
enabled. You may want to change the default security key or disable
wireless security.
¾ You want to change the router’s password to prevent users on your
network from changing the settings of the Wireless-N Router.

¾
¾
You want to set up the correct Time Zone. Setting the Time Zone is
important if you plan to use Scheduling usage rules to limit access to the
Internet during certain hours. See The Schedule Rule and Schedule
Rule Setting Pages on page 68 for more information.
You wish to change other wireless settings such as your Wireless
Network Name (SSID) or you wish to disable WiFi access to your router.
If any of these apply to you, see Launching the Configuration Manager’s
Setup Wizard below.
•
If you are experienced with networking devices and their configuration, you
may prefer to use the Advanced configuration program to tailor the router's
configuration to your needs. Go to Using the Configuration Manager's
Advanced Program on page 74.
Launching the Configuration Manager's Setup Wizard
When you start the Configuration Manager (http://192.168.2.1 on your Web browser)
and log in, the ADMINISTRATOR'S MAIN MENU opens.
Click Wizard on the Toolbar to launch the Setup Wizard, which will guide you through the
configuration process.
The Setup Wizard page opens.
12
Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
Each of the six Steps guides you in configuring a specific setting or group of settings.
When you click Next or Back, you move from one step to another. If there is a setting
that you don’t want to change, simply click Next to go to the next setting.
Step 1. Setup Login
To view or change configuration settings, you must enter a password. Your router has
a default password (admin) that was set by the factory and that you used to access the
Configuration Manager initially. If you want to keep the default password, click Next to
skip this step. Otherwise, to safeguard your configuration, particularly if you make
changes, we recommend that you change the login password.
On the Setup Login Password page, type the old password in the Old Password field.
Type the new password in the New Password field.
Type the new password in the Reconfirm field, then click Next.
Note: If you forget the new password, you won't have access to the Configuration
Manager and will need to restore the device to its factory settings, thus losing any
changes you made to your router's configuration. To avoid this problem, we
recommend that you write the new password here and on the bottom of your
Wireless-N Router, and also save it elsewhere such as a settings document.
PASSWORD:______________________________________
Please refer to Resetting the Router to the Default Configuration on page 8 or The
Reset to Default Dialog on page 72 for more information in the unlikely event that you
forgot your password and need to restore the router's default settings.
Step 2. Setup Time Zone
The Time Zone setting is only used for fairly sophisticated functions, such as changing
router access rules depending on the time of day. However, we recommend that you
set your time zone now.
Chapter 2: Using the Configuration Manager
13
To set the time zone, select the time zone that applies to your location from the
dropdown menu, then click Next.
Step 3. WAN Type Setup
The WAN Type refers to the protocol used by your Internet Service Provider in
establishing your Internet connection. By default, WAN Type is set to your Mobile
Broadband USB modem. If that is what you want, you can select Next to skip this
section.

•
Static IP Address - Typically you have to request and pay extra for a static IP
address, so this is not typically used.
•
Dynamic IP Address – This is only used by Cable modem users and by DSL
modem users who are not using PPPoE. (A DSL service provider will
typically tell you whether you are using PPPoE, which requires you to enter
an PPPoE-related password into the router. If you are using DSL with 1483
routed, bridged, or PPPoA modes, you are not using PPPoE.)
•
PPPoE – Only use this if you are plugging an ADSL modem into the
Wireless-N Router, and if your ADSL service provider uses PPPoE.
•
PPTP - The Point to Point Tunneling Protocol is more common in corporate
environments and most users will not use this setting.
•
L2TP - The Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol is more common in corporate
environments and most users will not use this setting.
•
Mobile Broadband Modem - Select this if you are using a mobile broadband
modem, or a tethering-enabled smartphone or tablet as the primary method
of connecting the Wireless-N Router to the Internet. (If you are using the
mobile broadband modem as the backup to an ADSL or Cable modem,
you'll need to use the Configuration Manager's Advanced program to
configure this setup. Please refer to Using your 3G modem as a backup
on page 45.) You should select your primary connection type using the
Setup Wizard. (To access the Setup Wizard, refer to page 12 for
instructions.)

alphanumeric characters. If you change the name, make sure that all
devices on your Wireless-N Router’s wireless network use the new SSID as
the access point.
•
Channel refers to the wireless network channel assigned to your LAN. By
default, the Wireless-N Router uses channel 10. You would only change this
setting if you were concerned about possible interference from another
wireless access point using the same channel.
TIP: Other wireless networks might be within range of your network. Your neighbors,
for instance, may be within range. If you are having trouble connecting, try setting a
different channel to see if that improves performance. You should try setting a channel
that is 5 more than what you are using. By default, the Wireless-N Router is set to 10.
You may want to try channel 6 or 11, for instance, if you have trouble connecting with
the default channel (10).
Wireless Security Settings
If you accepted the default to Enable the Wireless Module (on the Wireless Settings page
at Step 4), the following page opens when you click Next.
Configuring Authentication and Encryption
By default, Authentication and Encryption security services are not configured. You can
configure both settings on the Wireless settings page.
To configure Authentication, select either Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) or
WiFi Protected Access-Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK) from the
Chapter 2: Using the Configuration Manager
23
dropdown menu.
Important: Be aware that WEP is a basic authentication service and is not as
secure as WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK. If you have devices on your wireless network that
support only WEP (for example, some gaming consoles), you will need to select
WEP as your Authentication method.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK Authentication
We recommend this setting if all devices on your network support either WPA or
WPA2. Your router will automatically detect whether it should use WPA or WPA2.
When you select WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK from the Authentication dropdown menu, the
Encryption field expands, as shown in the following figure.
Field
Entry
Authentication
Accept WPA-PSK/WPA2 PSK as the default value.
Encryption
Accept the default, TKIP/AES, which supports dynamic
encryption keys using TKIP or AES algorithms. Usually
WPA uses TKIP and WPA2 uses AES.
Security Key
In the Security Key field, enter a value for the key. The
maximum value is 64 characters. The minimum value is
8 characters.
Write your key in the space below for future reference,

Connecting Devices Wirelessly to the
Wireless-N Router
This chapter assumes that your Wireless-N Router has its wireless security settings
set up the way you like them, either with the factory default of “no security” or with a
particular type of security as discussed in Chapter 2. This chapter provides tips for
connecting devices (computers, phones, tablets, game stations, etc.) wirelessly to the
Wireless-N Router. If you are familiar with this already, or if you prefer to use the
instructions associated with each device, you don’t need to read this chapter.
You do need to make sure that each device connecting to the Wireless-N Router is
set up for wireless security that is compatible with the Wireless-N Router’s wireless
security settings.
Establishing your Wireless Network
Note that for each computer or other device added to your wireless network, you will
need to take appropriate steps for setting up that computer or other device. To do that,
select one of the possibilities for that computer or other device below:
¾ Many newer Windows 7, Vista, and XP computers have built-in wireless
networking capabilities and do not require the installation of a wireless
component. If this is the case, you should set up that computer’s wireless
connection using the Windows 7, Vista, or XP connect utility. See the sections
below on connecting Windows 7 (page 30) , Vista (page 31), or XP (page 32)
computers with built-in wireless capabilities.
¾ Some computers may have built-in wireless networking capabilities, but do not use
the Windows 7, Vista, or XP utility to configure their device. If this is so, set up your
computer’s wireless connection using the instructions on page 32 for Connecting a
Wireless-enabled Computer or Device to the Wireless-N Router.
¾ If you have a non-computer wireless device like an iPhone or other cellular phone,
iPod Touch, etc., see the instructions on page 32 for Connecting a
Wireless-enabled Computer or Device to the Wireless-N Router.
¾ Some computers may need a wireless network adapter installed. This can be a
USB adapter, PC Card adapter, or PCI adapter. When you install the adapter, make
sure that it is set to infrastructure or access point mode (NOT ad-hoc or
peer-to-peer mode). If you need help installing your wireless adapter or setting its
mode, refer to the documentation that came with it. After you install the adapter, see the
instructions on page 32 for Connecting a Computer with a wireless adapter to the
Wireless-N Router.

Setting up your Network using WPS
If all the wireless devices you plan to connect to your network support Wi-Fi Protected
Setup (WPS), you can use WPS to connect and secure your devices in one step. To
use WPS follow the instructions below.
Note: WPS configures one client device at a time. Please repeat the
configuration method for each client on your wireless network that supports
WPS security.
Configuration Methods
WPS offers three configuration methods. Choose the method that is compatible with
the hardware and software options available on your “client device,” which is the
device you’re connecting wirelessly to the Wireless-N Router.
34
Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
Method One
Use this method if your client device has a WPS button. This button can be either a
physical button on the unit or a software button in its application.
Press the WPS button on your Wireless-N Router and hold it in for seven (7) seconds until
the Wireless LED starts blinking rapidly.
Important! The Registrar (the device configuring the WLAN) goes into the WPS
mode and the Enrollee (the device joining the WLAN) then looks for it. You should
always start the Registrar first. By default your Wireless-N Router is configured as
a Registrar.
Click or press the WPS button on the client device.
Refer to your client device's documentation for further instructions, if necessary.
Method Two
Use this method if your client device already has a WPS PIN number. The client is the
Enrollee.
If you haven't already done so, open a Web browser and type http://192.168.2.1 in the
address bar.
a When the Configuration Manager launches, log in as admin, then select
Advanced > Basic Settings > Wireless to open the Wireless Setup page.
b Click the WPS Setup button to open the Wi-Fi Protected Setup page.
c Select PIN Code from the Config type dropdown menu.
d Enter the PIN number from your client device.
e Click Trigger to start the connection process on the router.
Important! You must do this within two minutes after starting the router.
f On the Wireless-N Router, when the program displays a message that the
process succeeded, click Save to save the configuration
Method Three
Use this method if your client device requests the router’s PIN number. The client is
the Registrar. Use this method if the client(s) are to connect to multiple access points
so that a client will control the configuration instead of the router.
If you haven't already done so, open a Web browser and type http://192.168.2.1 in the
address bar.
When the Configuration Manager launches, log in as admin, then select
Advanced > Basic Settings > Wireless to open the Wireless Setup page.
Click the WPS Setup button.
Select Enrollee from the Config Mode dropdown menu.
Click Generate Pin to generate a new Pin number.
Enter the router's Pin Number into your client device. Refer to your client’s
documentation for further details.
Important! You must do this within two minutes after starting the router.

Configuring Wireless Security Manually
Note: Most users will not need to read this chapter. Most users either use the
Wireless-N Router’s default settings (“no wireless security”) or use the Setup Wizard
described in Chapter 2 to set wireless security.
We recommend you set WPA2/WPA security unless you know that you will be
connecting devices to your network that support only WEP. If you know you have
some devices that only support WEP, go to WEP Configuration on page 40.
Otherwise continue to WPA2/WPA Configuration.
WPA2/WPA Configuration
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) is an encryption method that offers a stronger security
standard than WEP.
Important! If you choose to configure your router using either WPA2 or WPA
encryption, then you must configure all devices on your wireless network with the
same WPA encryption method and shared key.
You can configure WPA2 or WPA encryption using the Wireless Setting Page of the
Configuration Manager's Advanced program.
Turn on your computer and router, then launch the computer’s Web browser.
In the Web browser address bar, type the router's default IP address,
http://192.168.2.1 and then click Enter.
When the MAIN MENU opens for the first time, it displays a System Status page
that summarizes the current settings and values for your system.
On the Toolbar, type admin (the default password) in the System Password field,
then click Login.
When you log in, the Configuration Manager opens. Select Advanced from
the Administrator’s Main Menu bar then click Wireless on the left hand menu.

In the Authentication drop down bar select WPA – PSK/WPA2 – PSK. If you
know all your devices support WPA2-PSK you can select it instead.
In the Security Key field enter a value for the key. The maximum value is 64
characters. The minimum value is 8 characters.
Write down this passphrase and put it where you can find it – on the bottom of
the Wireless-N Router case, for instance.
Click Save.
Now you need to set up each of your wireless devices with the Security Key
that you entered. See Establishing your Wireless Network on page 29 for
instructions on connecting devices to the Wireless-N Router.
WEP Configuration
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a basic encryption method that does not offer the
security strength of WPA or WPA2. Use this method only if some of your network's
wireless devices, such as a gaming console, do not support WPA2/WPA.
Important! If you choose to configure your router using WEP encryption, then you
must configure all devices on your wireless network with the same WEP encryption
method and key.
You can configure WEP encryption using the Wireless Setting Page of the Configuration
Manager's Advanced program.

characters are the numbers 0-9, and the characters A-F.) If you want to use a
128-bit key enter 26 Hex characters. A 64-bit key provides slightly faster
performance while a 128-bit key provides slightly better security. We
recommend using a 64-bit key.
Write down this key and put it where you can find it – on the bottom of the
Wireless-N Router case, for instance.

The Change Password Page
You can use this page to change your login password. To view or change
configuration settings, you must enter a password. Your router has a default
password (admin) that was set by the factory and that you used to access the
Configuration Manager initially. To safeguard your configuration, particularly if you make
changes, we recommend that you change the login password.
Note: If you forget the new password, you won't have access to the Configuration
Manager and will need to restore the device to its factory settings thus losing any
changes you made to your router's configuration. To avoid this problem, we
recommend that you write the new password and save it in a convenient location.
Configuring Forwarding Rules
If you are using your router for gaming, you may need to make changes to the router’s
firewall setting for the game to work. This is done by setting up a DMZ or virtual server,
or using port triggering so that the modem’s firewall won’t block the other players from
your system during your gaming. The main difference between the three methods is
the amount of access someone has to your system.
A virtual server will allow access to your computer or gaming station on certain ports. A
port is a channel that is used by applications (such as games) for communication. For
example, the directions for the game you want to play over the Internet might tell you to
open up port 6000.
49
Port triggering works by sensing when data is sent out on the predetermined outgoing
port and then automatically opening up the corresponding incoming port(s). It will
automatically forward the traffic on the incoming port to the computer that accessed
the outgoing port. If your game uses one port to send outgoing data and a different port
(or ports) for incoming data, you may want to use port triggering. The advantage of
port triggering is that it is more secure than setting up a virtual server since the
incoming port is only open when you are using it, and since it tracks which computer
sent the outgoing data. Port triggering can also be easier to set up because you do not
need to know the IP address of your gaming station. The disadvantage of port
triggering is that only 1 host can be accessing the port at one time, so if you have two
computers or game stations playing the same game on your network you will need to
use a virtual server or DMZ.
A DMZ differs from a virtual server in that it allows access on all ports of the computer.
Because of this, DMZ's are less secure and should be used with caution on your
computer. However DMZ’s work well with your gaming stations since security is not as
much of an issue for gaming stations as it is for computers.
Some games support UPnP. If your game supports UPnP then you do not need to set
any forwarding rule since UPnP will automatically set up the router to work with the
game.
You can use the Forwarding Rules page to configure the options mentioned above, for
allowing access to devices behind your router.
The Virtual Server Page
You can use the Virtual Server page to configure a virtual server.
Because your router's firewall filters out unrecognized packets to protect your network,
all computers behind this product are invisible to the outside world. If you want, you
can make some of them accessible by enabling Virtual Server mapping.
50
Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
A virtual server will allow access to your computer on certain ports. A port is like a
channel that is used by applications (such as games) to communicate on. For
example, the directions for the game you want to play over the Internet might tell you
to open port 6000.
Service Ports
This is the port number you want to allow access to your computer on. To
enter multiple ports use the dash format; for example, 2004-2009.
Server IP
This is the IP Address of the computer or gaming device that you want to
allow access to. If you do not know the IP address you can look it up by
selecting Basic Settings > DHCP Server, then clicking on Client List. To make this
virtual server permanent, then you should set up a fixed mapping to your
computer or gaming device on the DHCP Server page. Doing this ensures that
your computer will keep the same IP address.
Protocol
Select UDP, TCP, or Both depending on what type of protocol your game or
application uses.
Enable
Click to enable the Virtual Server
51
Use Rule#
You can enable your virtual server for certain periods of time by assigning it
a Rule #. You must first set up the appropriate Scheduling Rule. See The
Schedule Rule and Schedule Rule Setting Pages on page 68 for more
information.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port 21) at 192.168.1.5, a Web server (port
80) at 192.168.1.6, and a game that requires port 5000 to be open at 192.168.1.7,
then you need, at minimum, to specify the following mapping.
ID
Service Port
Server IP
Enable
21
192.168.1.5

80
192.168.1.6

The Port Triggering Page
Port triggering opens an incoming port when your computer is using a specified
outgoing port for specific traffic. This provides a way for you to automate setting up a
Virtual Server with some applications. You can use the Port Triggering page to
configure which packets are allowed access.
Trigger
The outbound port number used by the application.
Incoming Ports
When the trigger packet is detected on the outbound port, the inbound packets sent to
the specified port numbers are allowed to pass through the firewall.
52
Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
Enable

Popular applications
Provides a menu of applications from which to choose.
Select an application and click Copy to to add the application to your list.
Click Save to store your selection or Undo to remove the entry.
The Miscellaneous Page
The Miscellaneous Page lets you set up and enable a DMZ Host on your network, and
enable UPnP settings for software and devices. In this way, specific ports can open for
incoming traffic that must pass through your firewall. You can also enable IGMP on
this page in the unlikely event that your service provider is using it.
53
Set IP Address of DMZ Host
A DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host is a host without the protection of the
firewall. It allows a computer or gaming system to be exposed to
unrestricted two-way communication for Internet games, video conferencing,
Internet telephony and other special applications. Use caution when using a
DMZ because your firewall no longer protects the computer that is set up as
a DMZ.
If you do not know the IP address of the computer or gaming system you
can look it up by selecting Basic Settings > DHCP Server, then clicking on Client
List. To make this virtual server permanent, then you should set up a fixed
mapping to your computer or gaming device on the DHCP Server page. Doing
this ensures that your computer will keep the same IP address.
UPnP setting
This feature is enabled by default. Games and applications that are UPnP
compatible will automatically open ports for you on your router.
IGMP Setting
Enable IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol ) if your service provider tells you
to. IGMP is typically used for IPTV applications.

the Domain Filters. Inbound, Outbound, and Domain filters are disabled, by default.
55
Packet Filtering Page
Packet Filtering allows you to control what packets are allowed to pass through the
router. Outbound Packet filters control outbound packets and Inbound Filtering
controls packets coming from the Internet. Inbound Filters applies only to packets
going to a Virtual Server or DMZ. Most users will not need to setup Packet Filtering.
When you click on Packet Filters from the left-side menu, it takes you to the
Outbound Packet Filtering page. If you need to set up an Inbound Filter, click on
Inbound Filter button at the bottom of the page.
56
Travel Router with Wireless-N User Manual
Filtering Policies
You can select one of the two filtering policies:
Allow all to pass except those that match the specified rules
Deny all to pass except those that match the specified rules
Filtering Rules
You can specify eight rules for each direction: inbound or outbound. For each rule,
you can define the following:
Source IP address
Destination IP address
Destination Port
Use Rule#
For the Source or Destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (4.3.2.1).
An empty field implies any IP address.
For Destination Port, you can define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999).
No prefix indicates both TCP and UDP are defined. Leaving this empty implies that all
port addresses apply.
Each Rule can be enabled or disabled individually.
You can use packet filters with scheduling rules for more access control flexibility.
57
The Domain Filters Page
You can use the Domain Filters page to enable or deny user access to specified URLs.
Domain filtering and URL Blocking perform similar functions. The major difference
between Domain Filtering and URL Blocking is that Domain Filtering requires the user
to input a suffix whereas URL Blocking requires the user to input a keyword only. In
other words, Domain Filtering can block a specific web site, whereas URL Blocking
can block hundreds of web sites by specifying a keyword.

Enable
Click the checkbox to enable a rule.
The URL Blocking Page
You can use the URL Blocking page to block LAN computers from connecting to
pre-defined Web sites or to limit their access to specific websites. The major
difference between Domain Filtering and URL Blocking is that Domain Filtering
requires the user to input a suffix whereas URL Blocking requires the user to input a
keyword only. In other words, Domain Filtering can block a specific web site, whereas
URL Blocking can block hundreds of web sites by specifying a keyword.
URL Blocking Enable
Check if you want to enable URL Blocking.
Block Setting
Select Blacklist to block access to any words or URLs that you specify.
Select Whitelist to allow access only to the URLs that you specify.
URL
If any part of the Website's URL matches the pre-defined word, the
connection will be blocked if Blacklist is set, or allowed if Whitelist is set. For
example, if you set up blacklisting, you can use the pre-defined word, sex, to
block all website URLs that contain the pre-defined word, sex.

Appendix A: Mobile Broadband Settings
Your router works with a large number of different mobile broadband modem
models. In most cases when you plug your mobile broadband modem or phone into
the router, the proper APN (Access Point Name), Dialed Number, PIN Code,
Username, and Password for the provider is automatically entered. In some cases, the
modem does not know this information, and the router needs to be set up to include
that information. For instructions on how to do this, please refer to Chapter 2: Using
the Configuration Manager and use the Setup Wizard to enter these settings.
If you are unable to connect to the Internet using the Wireless-N Router, you should try
entering the different settings for your service provider. Begin by entering the first
setting for your provider. If that doesn’t work, try entering the next setting. If a field is
empty in the chart, then leave that setting blank in the Setup Wizard.

Appendix B: How to Set Up Tethering on the
iPhone
These instructions are based on using the iPhone in the USA with Verizon and AT&T,
and may vary slightly depending on the model of your iPhone, your firmware version,
and service provider. These instructions assume that you have a service contract that
supports tethering. Please consult your iPhone user manual for more information.
Connect one end of the USB cable to the Router and the other end to the
iPhone.
Turn on tethering on the iPhone. For GSM models used by AT&T, select
Settings Æ General Æ Network Æ Internet Tethering. For CDMA models
used by Verizon, select Settings Æ General Æ Network Æ Personal Hotspot.
Note: If you see a choice between Bluetooth tethering or USB, you need to
select USB.
For most carriers you will need to set up your APN information in the router. To
do this first enter the router Configuration Manager, then select Basic
Settings Æ Basic Setup. On the Basic Setup page, enter the APN settings for
your provider. If you don’t know the APN settings please contact your provider or
see Appendix A, which contains the settings for many of the most popular
wireless providers.
For example, if you are using your iPhone with AT&T, use the following settings
for the items shown:
