DNS

On the Advanced tab, configure the appropriate DNS settings to determine what domains are used

for assessing online statuses. This setting is generally fine to leave on Auto.

In some cases, setting the DNS statically is necessary. For WFRControl installations, it is recom-

mended to have the outdoor slave set to Auto while the indoor master is statically assigned to

Google’s DNS servers.

DMZ

On the Advanced tab, set a DMZ IP Address of a server behind the WiFiRanger. DMZ stands for De-

militarized Zone, which in computer security terms means that this server is exposed through the

router’s firewall so that access is granted to the DMZ server from the internet.

Hosting a DMZ server behind a WiFiRanger does not compromise other devices or computers on the

LAN. Only the specified server will be exposed to the internet.

Static IP

On the Setup tab, each Device can be set to a static IP by expanding the Settings after clicking the

gear icon. This allows for manually assigning the WiFiRanger with a static IP by Device.

This feature is useful if connecting to an internet source that does not issue DHCP addresses. In

these cases, assign a Static IP Address within the source’s IP scheme and enter the corresponding

Subnet Mask and Gateway IP.

Once a Static IP is configured for the appropriate Device, connect to the non-DHCP internet source.

Private LAN IP Alias

On the Advanced tab, create Private LAN IP Aliases that bridge up to two IP subnets with the WiFi-

Ranger’s unique DHCP subnet. This feature allows for easily placing a WiFiRanger into an existing

network that was on a different subnet with statically assigned devices.By creating a Private LAN IP

Alias, devices issued a DHCP address will also see anything statically assigned in the IP Alias range.

To make an IP alias, enter the desired Gateway IP and Subnet separated by a comma (no spaces). In

this example, anything statically assigned with 10.100.254.

2-254

will be able to communicate with all

other devices connected to the WiFiRanger which are receiving the regular DHCP addresses.
