Configuring Internet Settings

By default, your Metro Broadband Gateway is configured to use DHCP and reflects the IP address of the

Mesh AP or your extended home wireless router at

Gateway

.

To review and modify the network configuration, follow these steps:

1.

After logging into the Web User interface, click

Internet

under

Configuration

.

Figure 29—

Configure :: Internet page, DHCP enabled

2.

Verify that the

Connection Type

is “DHCP”. To change the connection type, see

"Changing the Connection

Type" on page 38

.

3.

Ruckus recommends that you do not change the values for:

•

Gateway

: This is the gateway IP address of the Internet interface.

•

Primary DNS Server

: This is the primary Domain Name System (DNS) server IP address.

•

Secondary DNS Server

:

This is the secondary Domain Name System (DNS) server IP address.

Changing the Connection Type

There is one instance when you would change the IP address of the gateway: If the current IP address of the

Metro Broadband Gateway consistently conflicts with that of any other device in your wireless network.

To change the connection type (from DHCP to Static IP), follow these steps:

1.

After logging into the Web User interface, click

Internet

under

Configuration

.

2.

When the Configure :: Internet options appear, click the

Static IP

radio button by

Connection Type

to be

applied to this gateway.

Configuring a Static IP address

3.

Fill in the related fields according to your ISP-provided information.

4.

Click

Update Settings

to save and apply the changes.

ALERT

Perform this task only with guidance from your ISP. The required entry for static

IP should be available, if your gateway connection type is changed to either of

those types.

Configuring System Settings

Configuring System Settings

This section describes the tasks and screens used to configure the Metro Broadband Gateway to run on your

wireless network as a bridge or a router.

N

OTE

–

If you used the wizard during initial login to configure your Metro Broadband Gateway, bridge or router

mode has already been configured for you depending on your wizard selections.

Review the following topics before you change any system configuration settings:

•

"Connecting to the Metro Broadband Gateway" on page 16

•

"Connect and Configure the Metro Broadband Gateway" on page 19.

Table 6, “Metro Broadband Gateway Default and User Settings Worksheet,” on page 27

shows the default

settings used to login to the device.

The

Configuration :: System

window allows you to configure the system mode as either a router, a bridge,

a repeater, or as an L2TP tunnel. In addition, this window allows you to configure IP address assignment.

•

Router

mode provides the capability to perform NAT (network address translation) of the traffic

from the Internet (WAN Interface) to the local interface. Router mode allows home users to hide the

privately assigned IP address from the Internet. Using Router mode, multiple devices can be

connected behind the Metro Gateway.

•

Bridge

mode allows the Metro Broadband Gateway to act in Layer 2 (or bridge) mode. When Bridge

mode is selected, the home PC will get the IP address from the upstream DHCP server, such as the

DHCP server from the Metro ISP network.Using Bridge mode, all traffic behind the Metro

Broadband Gateway will use the MAC address of the Metro Broadband Gateway to communicate

with the Internet.

•

Repeater

mode enables the Metro Broadband Gateway to act as a repeater where there is only one

SSID. Common usage is to repeat the signal from the DSL gateway or Cable modem to the repeater

to extend effective coverage.

•

Tunnel/L2TP

mode allows a client’s MAC address to be exposed to the authentication server. This

is often necessary in Metro Wi-Fi hotspots where authentication is required on a per-client basis.. To

configure Tunnel/L2TP mode, see

"Enabling an L2TP Connection" on page 42

.

Perform the following steps to change the Metro Broadband Gateway to router or bridge mode, depending

on your current configuration:

1.

Connect to the Metro Broadband Gateway by following the instructions in

"Connecting to the Metro

Broadband Gateway" on page 16

.

2.

Choose

Configuration :: System

or

Configuration :: Smart Configuration

. For System configuration, go

to

Step 3

. For Smart Configuration, see

"Smart Configuration" on page 60

.
