The Router supports all types of WPS setup: Option A: Push button: You may push the WPS button on the web menu or use the physical button on the back of the Router.
NETWORK SETTINGS Network Settings: Local Network (LAN) These settings are for your local network only and do not apply to your Internet / ISP connection. IP Address: The IP address of the Router. Subnet Mask: The subnet of the Router. Default Gateway: The access point to another network. DHCP: Each network device on your local network will have its own IP Address. The DHCP server automatically assigns the IP addresses to each device connected to your network.
Set Static DHCP: This allows specific devices to be given a specific IP address each time the device connects to the network. The DHCP server will always assign the same IP address to the same device. This feature is often used for shared devices such as network printers or servers. 802.1d Spanning Type (STP): A network protocol that ensures a loop-free topology for networks that have Ethernet bridges.
Network Settings: Internet Network (WAN) The Basic Setup Wizard will assist you in setting up your Internet connection. However, in the case that you wish to adjust settings manually, the options on this page provides you with the tools to do this easily. Select your Internet Connection type from the drop down menu: Manual IP (Static): For Internet connections where the Internet provider does not provide you with an IP address automatically.
If for some reason you do not get an IP address and you know that your Internet provider uses DHCP, try resetting your modem. Remove the power adapter from the modem as well as the backup battery (if available). Wait about 30 seconds and then power the modem back on. You can run through the Basic Setup Wizard again to see if that fixes your Internet connection issues. PPPoE connections normally requires login information.
Network Settings: Bridge Mode A Network Bridge creates a connection between two separate networks wirelessly. The Bridge connects to a Wi-Fi network (either 2.4 or 5GHz network) of the existing network and provides wired connections to expand the network further. All devices connected to the Bridge are on the same subnet and local network as the existing network. Note: The Network Bridge does not create another Wi-Fi network to connect to, it only provides wired connections to expand a network.
Network Settings: Advanced Settings These settings apply to the Local Network and your Internet Connection Network. If you are not familiar with these settings, please refer to a network administrator to avoid putting your network at risk. Enable uPnP: Universal Plug and Play is a network feature that allows uPnP enabled devices to “just work” with each other when connected to the same network. UPnP can work across different network media, such as an Ethernet connection or wireless connection.
Enable Web Server Access on WAN (Remote Management): Allows access to the Web Menu over the Internet. Enable IPsec pass through on VPN connection: Allows the IP security protocol suite to pass through on a VPN connection.
SECURITY FEATURES The Router provides your network with Security Features that helps to provide convenience and protection for your wired and wireless network. The Security Features allows you to control access of your wireless network through: on/off schedules, specific user authorizations, and wireless coverage control. These settings apply to your local wireless and wired network. These features are not the same as your network Firewall settings.
Security Features: Block Websites To block a website, you must first enable URL filtering. After it has been enabled, you can begin adding as many websites as you wish into the URL Address field. Note: If you wish to block www.google.com, simply type in "google" and the Router will block all websites with the text "google" in the URL.
Security Features: User Access (MAC Address Filtering) User Access allows you to deny access or allow access to specific users connecting to the network. Each networking device has a unique address called a MAC address (a 12 digit hex number). By inputting the MAC address into the field, you can define whether that device is allowed into your network or not allowed. A MAC Address may sometimes be referred to as a Physical Address.
Security Features: User Access (IP Address Filtering) User Access (IP Filtering) is similar to User Access (MAC filtering) except that the Router uses the local IP address to filter the specific data from the specified network protocol. For example, if you chose to block TCP data packets from a specific computer, you would need to figure out what that device's IP address is and select TCP from the Protocol drop down menu.
USB STORAGE USB Storage: Local Sharing Share USB storage devices with computers on the local network of the Router. Insert a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive, to the one of USB ports on router or both USB ports and follow the directions below for your operating system. The computer must be connected to the router to access the storage device. You may also want to Map the Network Drive so it shows up as a standard drive on your computer for easier access.

To Map the Network Drive: a) b) c) d) e) Click the Start button. Click Computer. Click Map Network Drive from the top bar.
Windows XP To access the drive from your Windows desktop: Note: If the USB drive does not appear automatically under your Networked devices (Windows 7, Vista or Mac OS X), you will need to Map the Network Drive. a) Click the Start button. b) Click My Computer. c) Click on My Network Places and locate the drive named AMPED_USB. To Map the network drive: a) Click the Start button. b) Right Click My Computer and select Map Network Drive.
Mac OS X To access the drive from your Mac desktop: Note: If the USB drive does not appear automatically under your Networked devices, you will need to Map your Network Drive (Instructions below). a) Open Finder. b) On the left hand menu, under Shared, click AMPED_USB. To Map the network drive: a) b) c) d) e) Open Finder. From the menu on the top of the desktop, select Go. Select Connect To Server from the drop down menu.
USB Storage: FTP Server Share USB storage devices with computers remotely over the Internet. A FTP server allows you to access files through the use of an FTP client remotely over the Internet. Insert a USB storage device, such as a flash drive or external hard drive, to the one of USB ports on router or both USB ports. From the USB Storage/FTP Server page of the web menu, enable the FTP Server feature a) Select whether you wish to have anonymous access or secured access.
FIREWALL SETTINGS The Router’s Firewall is designed to prevent unauthorized users from accessing your network. This section will go over the different features of the Firewall and how to configure them.
Firewall Settings: Port Filtering Port Filtering is a security measure that prevents users from using specific ports for reasons other than what those ports were originally intended for. For example, TCP port 21 is traditionally used for FTP. However, there is nothing stopping a user from using port 21 for purposes other than FTP access. By enabling Port Filtering on TCP port 21, only FTP communications would be allowed. No other types of communication would be allowed on this port.
Firewall Settings: Port Forwarding Port Forwarding is a rule that tells the Router that if a specific type of request comes in on a specific port, then that request should be forwarded to a specific device on the private network. Port Forwarding is often used for setting up servers, cameras and other devices that require remote access. Enable Port Forwarding: Enables designated ports to begin forwarding.
Firewall Settings: DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) A DMZ is a network location or IP Address that is not protected by the firewall. When enabling DMZ, it is important to note that the device on the IP Address designated as part of the DMZ does not have any protection from the Router’s firewall. The device’s only security would be those built into the operating system. As a general safety rule, devices placed on the DMZ should not have any other network connections to any other devices.
Firewall Settings: Denial of Service A Denial of Service attack is an attempt by a user (or users) to make a server’s or network’s services unavailable. The user sends a server multiple requests with false return addresses. The server will attempt to respond by sending a request back to the user; however, since the address is false, the server will wait for a response before closing the connection.
QUALITY OF SERVICE QoS prioritizes and guarantees network performance for a specific application for an IP Address range or MAC Address. You can also enter only an IP address or MAC address without selecting an application if you wish to prioritize all traffic for a specific device. QoS is often used for applications that require steady bandwidth. Common applications include VoIP phones, video streaming applications (i.e. DVRs, network cameras, video on demand), online gaming and servers.
ROUTING SETUP Dynamic Routing allows the Router to automtically learn network destinations for devices/networks that are directly connected to the router. RIP and RIP2 are routing protocols that may be used for the router to learn routes from other routers running those same protocols. This allows the Router to adapt to changes and failures within the network topology and find the best route. Static Routing allows the administrator to manually enter into the Router’s routing table.
MANAGEMENT FEATURES The Management Features on the Router allows you to view the status of the system, your Internet connection, wireless network and local area network. The Network Statistics page provides detailed traffic data for each connection type.
Management: System Status The System Status provides you with a snapshot of your Router’s current connections and settings. The System Information section provides you with the router’s firmware version and build. This is used to help our support department determine what firmware version your device is running. The Current Date / Time is the setting for the system clock. If this time is off, go to the System Clock section and configure your system time.
Management: Network Statistics Network statistics shows the data activity for each connection type on the Router (Internet, Wireless and Wired). The Wireless Connection statistics shows all data activity for both the 2.4GHz and 5.0GHz wireless networks separately. The Wired Connection statistics shows all data activity for all users physically connected to the wired ports on the Router. The Internet Connection statistics shows the data activity for all upload and download data over your Internet connection.
Management: Dynamic DNS Settings The Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) is a method to keep a web domain name, or web address, linked to a changing IP address as most Internet Providers do not provide static IP addresses. To use DDNS, you must first set up an account with a DDNS provider. The Router supports two of these providers (TZO and DynDNS). Once the DDNS service has been set up and configured correctly on the Router, the DDNS service will constantly track the IP address of your Internet connection.
Management: System Clock Maintain the internal clock for the Router by syncing with your computer’s time or over the Internet. Your system clock settings need to be accurate in order for logs and wireless access schedules to work correctly.
Management: System Logs The System Log is useful for viewing the activity and history of your Router. The System Log is also used by Amped Wireless technicians to help troubleshoot your router when needed. It is recommended that you enable all logs in the event that troubleshooting is required. All log entries will be deleted each time the Router reboots or is powered off.
