WAN Connection Type

: Choose your Internet Service

Provider type. The choices are

Automatic IP

,

PPPoE

,

PPTP

,

L2TP

or

ﬁxed IP

. Consult your ISP if the router is unable

to obtain a valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN

connection type.

Enable WAN

: Select

Yes

to allow the router Internet access.

Select

No

to disable Internet access.

E

nable 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.

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.

Connect to DNS Server

: 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.

Authentication

: This item may be speciﬁed by some ISPs.

Check with your ISP and ﬁll them in if required.

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 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. On Enable Port Trigger, choose

Yes

.

3. If the online task or application is on the

Well-Known

Applications List

, select it from the list.

4. On the Trigger Port List section, enter a description, the trigger

ports, and protocol. Click the

Add

button.
