2.3.1.
Setup
2.3.1.1. Basic Configuration
Setup Assistant
The setup assistant provides a step-by-step interface for basic router
configuration. This configures most common settings automatically.
WAN Setup
Here you’ll find the most important settings to configure your
internet access and WAN port. DHCP is enabled by default, but you can
also use PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, static IP, or HeartBeat Signal. If you
don’t use a password to log in to your ISP, you may need to enter
“0000” for the password. Also, for some ISPs you should not enter the
service name, as it will prevent establishing the connection. If you
experience connection problems, then leave the service name empty.
WAN Connection Type
Description
Disabled
The WAN port is disabled.
Static IP
A static IP address will be used – enter the
IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and server
manually.
Automatic
Configuration - DHCP
The router obtains its WAN-side IP address
from a DHCP server.
PPPoE
Configure as PPPoE-client.
For VDSL, check
the “VDSL-Tagging“ box.
PPTP
Establishes connection via PPTP.
L2TP
Establishes connection via L2TP.
HeartBeat Signal
If you use a HeartBeat connection, consult
your ISP for setup information.
HeartBeat
Signal is used only in Australia.
3G/UMTS
Configures Internet Access via 3G/UMTS.
Enable USB in the “Services” section and
attach a 3g/UMTS USB stick to the router.
Network Setup
Network Setup configures the router’s basic settings to match the
local network. By default these settings are valid for all network
ports except the WAN because they are all attached to the default
bridge. If ports are disassociated from the bridge they will have
different settings.
2.3.1.2.
Dynamic DNS (DynDNS or DDNS)
Dynamic DNS allows the assignment of a DNS record to a dynamically
assigned WAN-side IP address. A DynDNS client updates DNS records when
your WAN-side IP address changes.
The router’s firmware offers presets for the most common DynDNS
services plus an option to define individual settings.

2.3.1.3. MAC Address Cloning
MAC address cloning lets you assign a different MAC address to the
router than the one encoded in the hardware.
2.3.1.4. Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
The default operating mode of the router is
Gateway
. Other routing
protocols are available.

Static Routing
The Static Routing section lets you add static routes. The input
parameters are equivalent to the parameters of the Linux command
“route”.
2.3.1.5. Networking
The Networking section allows detailed network configuration.
VLAN Tagging
Use this option to configure VLAN tagging.
Bridging
By default, one bridge (br0) is defined and active. In this section
you can define additional bridges and change the interface assignment
according to your requirements.
Bonding
- 7 -
Page 9 / 171
Bonding offers the ability to “bond” interfaces together. Bonding can
be used to enhance throughput or provide failover capabilities.
Port Setup
The port setup section allows further configuration of the routers
network interfaces. Network interfaces can be separated from the
bridge and it is possible to assign separate network settings for each
interface. If an interface is separated from the bridge, add routing
rules to allow communication between the interface and the bridge or
other unbridged interfaces.
DHCPD
Besides the default DHCP server, you can define additional DHCP
servers.
2.3.1.6. EoIP Tunnel
EoIP (Ethernet over IP) tunnels can transport Ethernet data packages
via a tunnel over existing IP connections. You can define up to 10
tunnels that can also be bonded.
2.3.2.
Wireless
2.3.2.1. Basic Settings
Each Wireless LAN interface has its own section in the wireless basic
settings screen. The wireless interfaces are labelled ath0 and ath0.1
– ath0.4 depending on the number of radios installed. To correctly
identify the antenna connectors, please compare the MAC addresses
printed on the enclosure with the addresses displayed in the web
interface.
Wireless Mode
This parameter is used to define the operating mode of the Wireless
LAN interface. You can select among the following modes:
Modus
Description
AP
WLAN Access Point mode (default)
Client
WLAN Client mode
Client-Bridge
Client-Bridge mode allows connecting to
another Wireless LAN access point and
establishing a network bridge with that
access point
AdHoc
AdHoc operating mode, required for building
mesh networks
WDS Station
WDS Station is the client in a WDS-AP <-> WDS
station bridge. This is a special wireless
networking mode that offers better
flexibility and security than the classical
MAC address based WDS.
WDS AP
WDS AP is the AP side for WDS AP <-> WDS
Station. A WDS AP allows connections from WDS
Stations and Wireless Clients.

Wireless Network Mode
Defines the IEEE802.11 networking mode.

802.11n devices cannot connect)
G-Only
2.4 GHz 802.11g mode (802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11n devices cannot connect)
BG-Mixed
2.4 GHz 802.11b & 802.11g mixed mode (802.11a
and 802.11n devices cannot connect)
NA-Mixed
5 GHz 802.11n & 802.11a mixed mode (802.11b
and 802.11g devices cannot connect)
NG-Mixed
2.4 GHz 802.11n & 802.11g mixed mode (802.11a
and 802.11b devices cannot connect)
N-Only (5 GHz)
5 GHZ 802.11n mode (802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11g devices cannot connect)
N-Only (2.4 GHz)
2.4 GHZ 802.11n mode (802.11a, 802.11b, and
802.11g devices cannot connect)
Channel Width
Some wireless network modes support wireless channel widths besides
the standard 20 MHz. 802.11g & 802.11n offer the option to use 40 MHz
channels for enhanced throughput. Both the AP and the client must
support 40 MHz channels to use them.
Wireless Channel (AP only)
Set the desired wireless channel, or let the router choose a free
channel automatically. If the router is in classic WDS (MAC address
based) mode, then the wireless channel must be selected manually.
Wireless Network Name (SSID)
The name of the wireless network the radio transmits or connects to
(depending on the wireless mode)
Wireless SSID Broadcast (AP only)
The name of the wireless network (SSID) may be broadcasted or not. Not
broadcasting does not prevent the network from being detected by a
wireless network sniffer; it just hides the name.
Advanced Settings
Check this box to get access to advanced wireless settings. These
advanced parameters should be only modified by experienced users.
