9. Advanced Settings 9 This chapter describes the advanced features of your router. The information is for users with a solid understanding of networking concepts who want to set the router up for unique situations such as when remote access from the Internet by IP or domain name is needed.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 Advanced Wireless Settings Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings to display the following screen: Scroll to view more settings The following settings are available in this screen: Enable Wireless Router Radio. You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the wireless router by clearing this check box. Select this check box again to enable the wireless portion of the router.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 Wireless Repeating Function (WDS) You can set the N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this enables the router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another wireless router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service. Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS).
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC addresses of the child repeater access point. Wireless Repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the remote parent access point. The WNDR4500 router is always in dual band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 • Wireless MAC of this router. This field displays the MAC address for your router for your reference. You will need to enter this MAC address in the corresponding Wireless Repeating Function screen of the other access point you are using. • Wireless Repeater. If your router is the repeater, select this check box. Repeater IP Address. If your router is the repeater, enter the IP address of the other access point. Disable Wireless Client Association.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 2. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function to display the Wireless Repeating Function screen. Scroll to view more settings 3. In the Wireless Repeating Function screen (depending on the frequency you want to use), select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box and select the Wireless Base Station radio button. 4. Enter the MAC address for one or more repeater units. 5. Click Apply to save your changes.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 4. Click Apply to save your changes. 5. Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the router should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired computer or server connected to the other access point. Port Forwarding and Triggering By default, the router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to your outbound traffic.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 information and then modifies the source information in the request message, performing Network Address Translation (NAT): • The source address is replaced with your router’s public IP address. This is necessary because your computer uses a private IP address that is not globally unique and cannot be used on the Internet. • The source port number is changed to a number chosen by the router, such as 33333.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you have to also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature. A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 • Port triggering does require that you know the computer’s IP address in advance. The IP address is captured automatically. • Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer’s IP address during configuration, and the IP address can never change. • Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 1. Select Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering to display the following screen: Port Forwarding is selected as the service type. 2. From the Service Name list, select the service or game that you will host on your network. If the service does not appear in the list, see Add a Custom Service on page 97. 3. In the corresponding Server IP Address field, enter the last digit of the IP address of your local computer that will provide this service. 4.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 3. Click the Add Custom Service button to display the following screen: 4. In the Service Name field, enter a descriptive name. 5.

N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 host name that you configure in the router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host name is hostname, for example, you can reach your router at http://hostname.dyndns.org. On the Advanced tab, select Advanced Setup > Dynamic DNS to display the following screen: Figure 9.
N900 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit Router WNDR4500 Static Routes Static routes provide additional routing information to your router.
