Chapter 1 IntroductionNBG6604 User’s Guide10• Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.• Write down the password and put it in a safe place.• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the NBG6604 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6604. You could simply restore your last configuration.1.5 Resetting the NBG6604If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the NBG6604 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to “1234” and the IP address will be reset to “192.168.1.1”.1.5.1 How to Use the RESET Button1Make sure the power LED is on.2Press the RESET button for one to four seconds to restart/reboot the NBG6604.3Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the NBG6604 back to its factory-default configurations.1.6 The WPS ButtonYour NBG6604 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance.WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure). Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves.You can use the WPS button ( ) on the top panel of the NBG6604 to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.1Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking).2Press the WPS button for more than three seconds and release it. Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the NBG6604.

Configure the Internet type settings on your NBG6604 in the first part. The following screen depends on your Internet connection type. Enter the details provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the fields (if any).Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type. This wizard screen varies according to the connection type that you select.3.3.1 WAN Selection Type: Automatic - DHCPSelect the Automatic - DHCP option if your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address.Figure 9 WAN Selection Type: Automatic - DHCP3.3.2 WAN Selection Type: PPPoEPoint-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF (Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks.For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS). One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for specific users.Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site.
Chapter 3 eaZy 123 WizardNBG6604 User’s Guide21By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG6604 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6604 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.Figure 10 WAN Selection Type: PPPoE The following table describes the labels in this screen.Note: If you get an error message, make sure you have entered the correct information provided by your ISP. 3.3.3 WAN Selection Type: StaticChoose Static as the WAN Selection Type when the WAN port is used as a regular Ethernet.

NBG6604 User’s Guide38CHAPTER 7 Tutorials7.1 OverviewThis chapter provides tutorials for setting up your NBG6604.•Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS•Connect to NBG6604 Wireless Network without WPS•Using Guest SSIDs on the NBG66047.2 Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPSThis section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses the NBG6604 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook. The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device. There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility. This tutorial shows you how to do both.•Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 7.2.1 on page 38. This is the easier method.•PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the NBG6604’s interface. See Section 7.2.2 on page 39. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.7.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC)1Make sure that your NBG6604 is turned on. and that the device is placed within range of your notebook. 2Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook.3In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or WPS button)4Log into NBG6604’s Web Configurator and press the Push Button in the Wireless > WPS screen. Note: Your NBG6604 has a WPS button located on its top panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other.Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one.
Chapter 7 TutorialsNBG6604 User’s Guide39The NBG6604 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG6604 securely. The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on both NBG6604 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).Figure 24 Example WPS Process: PBC Method7.2.2 PIN ConfigurationWhen you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG6604’s configuration interface and the client’s utilities.1Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method to get a PIN number.2Enter the PIN number to the PIN field in the Wireless > WPS screen on the NBG6604.3Click Start buttons (or button next to the PIN field) on both the wireless client utility screen and the NBG6604’s WPS screen within two minutes.The NBG6604 authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG6604 securely.

See Section 10.4 on page 72. This allows you to configure multiple independent wireless networks on the NBG6604 as if there were multiple APs (virtual APs). Each guest SSID has its own wireless security type. That is, each SSID on the NBG6604 represents a different access point/wireless network to wireless clients in the network. Clients can associate only with the SSIDs for which they have the correct security settings. Clients using different SSIDs can access the Internet and the wired network behind the NBG6604 (such as a printer).

NBG6604 User’s Guide50CHAPTER 9 WAN9.1 OverviewThis chapter discusses the NBG6604’s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG6604 for Internet access.A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations.Figure 27 LAN and WAN9.2 What You Can Do• Use the Internet Connection screen to enter your ISP information and set how the computer acquires its IP, DNS and WAN MAC addresses (Section 9.4 on page 53).• Use the NAT > General screen to enable NAT, set a default server and change your NBG6604’s port forwarding settings (Section 9.5.1 on page 58).• Use the NAT > Port Trigger screen to configure your NBG6604’s trigger port settings (Section 9.5.2 on page 59).• Use the NAT > Passthrough screen to configure your NBG6604’s VPN pass-through settings (Section 9.5.3 on page 60).• Use the Dynamic DNS screen to change your NBG6604’s DDNS settings (Section 9.6 on page 61).LAN WANInternet
Chapter 9 WANNBG6604 User’s Guide519.3 What You Need To KnowThe information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN connection, as well as enable/disable some advanced features of your NBG6604.9.3.1 Configuring Your Internet ConnectionEncapsulation MethodEncapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user authentication.WAN IP AddressThe WAN IP address is an IP address for the NBG6604, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the NBG6604 to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the NBG6604 tries to access the Internet.If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation method).DNS Server Address AssignmentUse Domain Name System (DNS) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The NBG6604 can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways:1The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields.2If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the NBG6604’s WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP. WAN MAC AddressThe MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. Choose Factory Default to select the factory assigned default MAC Address.Otherwise, click Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to configuration file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the WAN Port.
Chapter 9 WANNBG6604 User’s Guide52MulticastTraditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1. Figure 28 Multicast ExampleIn the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting, the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The NBG6604 supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the NBG6604 queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the NBG6604 periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the NBG6604 WAN interface in the Web Configurator (WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces.Auto-IP ChangeWhen the NBG6604 gets a WAN IP address or a DNS server IP address which is in the same subnet as the LAN IP address 192.168.1.1, Auto-IP-Change allows the NBG6604 to change its LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1 automatically. If the NBG6604’s original LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1 and the WAN IP address is in the same subnet, such as 10.0.0.3, the NBG6604 switches to use 192.168.1.1 as its LAN IP address.ServerABCD

Chapter 9 WANNBG6604 User’s Guide56One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals.Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site.By implementing PPPoE directly on the NBG6604 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6604 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs’ computers will have access.This screen displays when you select PPPoE encapsulation.Figure 31 Network > WAN > Internet Connection: PPPoE Encapsulation (IPv4 Only) The following table describes the labels in this screen.Table 15 Network > WAN > Internet Connection: PPPoE Encapsulation LABEL DESCRIPTIONISP Parameters for Internet AccessEncapsulation Select PPPoE if you connect to your Internet via dial-up.IPv4 Select IPv4 Only if you want the NBG6604 to run IPv4 only.

NBG6604 User’s Guide63CHAPTER 10 Wireless LAN 10.1 OverviewThis chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your NBG6604. The NBG6604 is able to function both 2.4GHz and 5GHz network at the same time. You can have different wireless and wireless security settings for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LANs. Click Wireless to configure wireless LAN 2.4G or wireless LAN 5G.See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks.The following figure provides an example of a wireless network.Figure 36 Example of a Wireless NetworkThe wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the Access Point (AP) to interact with other devices (such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your NBG6604 is the AP.ABAP
Chapter 10 Wireless LANNBG6604 User’s Guide6410.1.1 What You Can Do• Use the Wireless screen to enable or disable the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN, set up wireless security between the NBG6604 and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section 10.2 on page 68).• Use the Guest Wireless screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your NBG6604 (Section 10.4 on page 72). • Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the NBG6604 (Section 10.5 on page 75).• Use the Advanced screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 10.6 on page 76).• Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually (Section 10.7 on page 77).• Use the Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 10.8 on page 78).10.1.2 What You Should KnowEvery wireless network must follow these basic guidelines.• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID.The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity.• If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels.Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information.• Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP.Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network.Wireless Security OverviewThe following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network.SSIDNormally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess.This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network.
Chapter 10 Wireless LANNBG6604 User’s Guide65MAC Address FilterEvery wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s Guide or other documentation.You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings.This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network.User AuthenticationYou can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user authentication. However, every wireless client in the wireless network has to support IEEE 802.1x to do this.For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each user.• In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database.• In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes.If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server, you cannot set up user names and passwords for your users.Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the wireless network.Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section.EncryptionWireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message.1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses.2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F.
Chapter 10 Wireless LANNBG6604 User’s Guide66The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See page 65 for information about this.)For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK.Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WPA, and device B supports WPA and WPA2. Therefore, you should set up WPA or WPA-PSK in the wireless network.Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly.Note: It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database.When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your NBG6604, you can also select an option (WPA/WPA-PSK Compatible) to support WPA/WPA-PSK as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of wireless network login) and select the WPA/WPA-PSK Compatible option in the NBG6604.Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key.Guest WLANGuest WLAN allows you to set up a wireless network where users can access to Internet via the NBG6604 (Z), but not other networks connected to the Z. In the following figure, a guest user can access the Internet from the guest wireless network A via Z but not the home or company network N.Note: The home or company network N and Guest WLAN network are independent networks.Note: Only Router mode supports guest WLAN.

Chapter 10 Wireless LANNBG6604 User’s Guide68WPSWiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 7.2 on page 38. 10.2 Wireless Screen Use this screen to configure the SSID and wireless security of the NBG6604’s default wireless LAN.Note: If you are configuring the NBG6604 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the NBG6604’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the NBG6604’s new settings.Click Wireless.Figure 39 WirelessThe following table describes the general wireless LAN labels in this screen.Table 21 Wireless LABEL DESCRIPTIONWireless SetupBand Select the frequency band to set whether you want to apply the wireless and security settings to the default 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN.

Because not all devices support 40 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40MHz to allow the NBG6604 to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically.40MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase throughput. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal. Select 20MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding.802.11 Mode If you set Band to 2.4GHz, you can select from the following:•802.11b: allows either IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g compliant WLAN devices to associate with the NBG6604.

Chapter 12 ApplicationsNBG6604 User’s Guide8612.4 Technical ReferenceThe following section contains additional technical information about the NBG6604 features described in this chapter.NAT TraversalUPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:• Dynamic port mapping• Learning public IP addresses• Assigning lease times to mappingsWindows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP. See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT.Cautions with UPnPThe automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments. When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security reasons, the NBG6604 allows multicast messages on the LAN only.All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention. Automatically Update AP/Repeater Wi-Fi SettingsSelect Enable to allow the NBG6604 to automatically update the wireless settings on the APs or wireless repeaters (which also support Zyxel One Connect) in its network. Select Disable to turn this feature off if you want to have the APs or repeaters in the network use different wireless settings.Apply Click Apply to save your changes back to the NBG6604.Cancel Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh.Table 33 Applications > ONE Connect (continued)LABEL DESCRIPTION
NBG6604 User’s Guide87CHAPTER 13 Security13.1 Overview Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG6604 and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic.Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall:• Allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the networks. • Blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN. The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2). However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4).Figure 56 Default Firewall Action13.1.1 What You Can Do• Use the IPv4 Firewall screen to enable or disable the NBG6604’s IPv4 firewall (Section 13.2 on page 89).1234LAN WANInternet
Chapter 13 SecurityNBG6604 User’s Guide8813.1.2 What You Need To KnowThe following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter.About the NBG6604 FirewallThe NBG6604’s firewall feature physically separates the LAN and the WAN and acts as a secure gateway for all data passing between the networks.It is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when activated (click the IPv4 Firewall tab under Security and then click the Enable Firewall check box). The NBG6604's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The NBG6604 can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network. The NBG6604 is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN.The NBG6604 has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are used to physically separate the network into two areas. The WAN (Wide Area Network) port attaches to the broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet.The Local Area Network (LAN) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a specific service.Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall1Change the default password via Web Configurator. 2Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way, including attaching a modem to the port. 3Limit who can access your router. 4Don't enable any local service (such as NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network. 5For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces. 6Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active. 7Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room.
