WAN
4.3.1 Internet Connection
The Internet Connection screen allows you to configure the
settings of various WAN connection types.
To configure the WAN connection settings:
1.
From the navigation panel, go to
Advanced Settings
>
WAN
>
Internet Connection
tab.
2.
Configure the following settings below. When done, click
Save
.
•
WAN Transfer Mode
• Choose your Internet Service Provider type. The choices
are
VDSL WAN (PTM)
,
ADSL WAN (ATM)
,
Ethernet WAN
.
Consult your ISP if the router is unable to obtain a valid IP
address or if you are unsure the WAN connection type.
•
Service Unit
: To set the value of transmission via Internet or
bridge.

to disable the Internet access.
•
Basic Config
•
IP version
:
Select your IP version type. The choices are
IPv4
,
IPv4/IPv6
, and
IPv6
.
•
WAN Connection Type
:
Select the correct connection type
based on your ISP service type. The choices are
Automatic
IP
,
Static IP
, and
PPPoE
.
•
Enable UPnP
:
UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game
consoles, and cellular phone) to be controlled via an IP-based
network with or without a central control through a gateway.
UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless
network for remote configuration and data transfer. Using
UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically.
Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely
configured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming,
video conferencing, and web or proxy servers. Unlike Port
forwarding, which involves manually configuring port
settings, UPnP automatically configures the router to accept
incoming connections and direct requests to a specific PC on
the local network.
•
IPv4 Setting
•
Connect to DNS Server automatically
:
Allows this router
to get the DNS IP address from the ISP automatically. A DNS
is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names to
numeric IP addresses.
•
Enable NAT
:
NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a
NAT table and is used to route incoming data packets.

Special Requirement from ISP
•
Host Name
:
This field allows you to provide a host name for
your router. It is usually a special requirement from your ISP.
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter the
host name here.
•
MAC Address
:
MAC (Media Access Control) address is a
unique identifier for your networking device. Some ISPs
monitor the MAC address of networking devices that
connect to their service and reject any unrecognized device
that attempt to connect. To avoid connection issues due to
an unregistered MAC address, you can:
•
Contact your ISP and update the MAC address associated
with your ISP service.
•
Clone or change the MAC address of the ASUS wireless
router to match the MAC address of the previous
networking device recognized by the ISP.
4.3.2 Dual WAN
DSL-AC52U provides Dual WAN support. Select
Failover mode
to
use a secondary WAN for backup network access.

4.3.3 Port Trigger
Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port for a
limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network
makes an outgoing connection to a specified port. Port triggering
is used in the following scenarios:
•
More than one local client needs port forwarding for the
same application at a different time.
•
An application requires specific incoming ports that are
different from the outgoing ports.
To set up Port Trigger:
1.
From the navigation panel, go to
Advanced Settings
>
WAN
>
Port Trigger
tab.
2.
Configure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply
.
•
Enable Port Trigger
: Choose
Yes
to enable Port Trigger.
•
Well-Known Applications
: Select popular games and web
services to add to the Port Trigger List.
•
Description
: Enter a short name or description for the service.

•
Trigger Port
: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming port.
•
Protocol
: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
•
Incoming Port
: Specify an incoming port to receive inbound
data from the Internet.
•
Protocol
: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
NOTES:
•
When connecting to an IRC server, a client PC makes an outgoing
connection using the trigger port range 66660-7000. The IRC server
responds by verifying the username and creating a new connection
to the client PC using an incoming port.
•
If Port Trigger is disabled, the router drops the connection because
it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for IRC access.
When Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an incoming port to
receive the inbound data. This incoming port closes once a specific
time period has elapsed because the router is unsure when the
application has been terminated.
•
Port triggering only allows one client in the network to use a
particular service and a specific incoming port at the same time.
•
You cannot use the same application to trigger a port in more than
one PC at the same time. The router will only forward the port back
to the last computer to send the router a request/trigger.
