After you have successfully got an IP, please access the router by typing http://192.168.1.1 to configure the router. (If you have changed the route’s IP address, please type http://.) CHAPTER 3 CONFIGURING THE WIRELESS GATEWAY The first time you start to configure the gateway by the web using the web browser with address http://192.168.1.
3.1 Basic Configuration The basic configuration contains Internet Port, Local Port and the Wireless LAN configurations. After you finished the basic items, the gateway will work for most functions. 3.1.1 Internet Port The Internet Port connects to your modem to get the access to the Internet. You will need to configure for the right settings that is assigned by your ISP. DHCP Configuration The DHCP is the default service for the Internet Port; you will get the IP address from the ISP automatically.
PPPoE Configuration Some DSL-based ISPs use PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) to establish Internet connections. If you are connected to the Internet through a DSL line, check with your ISP if they use PPPoE. Host Name/Domain Name. Some ISPs require the host name and domain name as identification, if it is not specified, assign on your own or leave it as blank. User Name, Password, Confirm Password. Enter your username, password and confirm again in the fields for the login to the ISP.
Use Static DNS. If you want to use your own DNS instead of ISP’s provision, click the checkbox, and give the IP address of the DNS in the field. (At least one for the primary field.) MAC address. Some ISPs allow you to connect to them with specified MAC address only, you can enter the MAC address manually or copy it from a PC which is attached to the Local Port, you just type in its IP address, the gateway will copy the MAC address from that PC.
IP Address. The IP address of the gateway’s Internet port, please use the ISP specified address. Subnet mask. The subnet mask supplied by your ISP. Gateway. Your ISP will assign a gateway address for you, if you could not find one, please contact your ISP. Primary DNS. The domain name server of the ISP or of your own. Secondary DNS. The back up domain name server could be left blank if none. MAC address.
and confirm again in the fields for the login to the ISP. Server IP. Your modem’s IP, you have to set your computer as the same domain as your modem’s (such as the modem’s IP address is 192.168.0.1 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, your PC must be configured as 192.168.0.x, the x is from 2 to 254, the subnet mask should be same as the modem’s 255.255.255.
3.1.2 LOCAL PORT Configure your gateway’s IP address of the local port here. It has to be a private IP address such as (10.x.x.x, 192.x.x.x are reserved for LAN use). Subnet Mask. The subnet mask determines how many computers are allowed in this network. A class C network with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 allows maximum 253 users (254-1, because gateway got one already) in your local area network. Usually a class C network is satisfactory for your local network.
When there are lots of mobile users using DHCP service in your network, select an appropriate time to make sure you manage the IP addresses well, because when the user turns his computer off and leaves, the gateway might not be aware of that IP address is vacant, thus that IP address will be idle there until the lease time expired. The default value of the lease time is 168hours. WINS Server. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet.
3.1.3 Wireless LAN Click Enable Wireless Access to enable the wireless function of the gateway. SSID. (Service Set Identifier.) The SSID is the network name shared among all points in wireless network. The SSID must be identical for all points in the wireless network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard). For added security, you should change the default SSID to a unique name. Hide SSID.
the 64bit encryption, but the 128bit encryption has a higher overhead over the wireless data transfer, it’s a trade off, please choose an appropriate encryption for your network. Key Format. The key format can be in ASCII that is easier to remember, or you can choose the HEX format from the pull down menu.. Passphrase. The gateway can help you to generate random keys, please input a phrase and click Generate. The keys will be generated automatically in the Key fields. Key1-4.
User Group. All LAN users can be defined into several groups, each group has different Internet access behavior depends on your configuration. To define the user group, click Define Group. (The Define Group is introduced below.) Service. Select from the pull down menu, find the service you want to offer or block to the users. If you could not find the right service you need, please click Define Application. (The Define Application is introduced below.) Forward / Block.

You can check the applications you already defined in the list. Use the delete or delete all tabs to manage the list.
3.2.2 Advanced Setup >> Dynamic DNS The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server, or other servers behind the Gateway. Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at www.dyndns.org or other DDNS service providers. Enable Dynamic DNS. Check the box to enable the DDNS service. DDNS Account. The hostname you want to use.

otherwise the users from the Internet cannot reach your servers on the LAN. Block Ping from WAN port. This feature can prevent your network from being “pinged”, or detected by other Internet users. Block PPTP, L2TP, IPSec Request. This feature blocks all VPN connection requests from the hosts outside your network. Use the DMZ host. The DMZ feature allows one local network user to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.
Return address. If your gateway cannot send to the receiptant successfully or the users want to reply a message from the mail, this is the address to reply. E-mail log.

Allow Management From PC.
3.2.5 Advanced Setup >> Static Routes When you have more than one network on your LAN, and you want to route certain IP addresses of network to another network, add them in the static routes. Destination Network / Host. The destination network is the address of the remote network or host you to which you want to assign a static route. Subnet Mask. The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a destination IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the host portion. Gateway.

on the Internet side, which may be at the ISP’s location and is often called a “boundary router”. The double firewall architecture adds an extra measure of security for the Intranet. Q: What is Dynamic DNS? A: The Dynamic DNS service, an IP Registry provides a public central database where information such as email addresses, hostnames, Ips etc. can be stored and retrieved. This solves the problems if your DNS server uses an IP associated with dynamic IP.
“backup” mail exchanger for delivery, until the primary mail server becomes functional again. In technical term, such service is called Backup Mail Exchanger. Q: What is PPPoE (PPP Over Ethernet)? A: PPPoE is know as a dial-up DSL service. It is designed to integrate the broadband services into the current widely deployed, easy-to-use, and low-cost dial-up-access networking infrastructure. Thus, customer can get greater access speed without changing the operation concept.
