

NAT (default):

Network Address Translation hides private IP addresses behind the router's IP address. This is the

simplest and most common choice for users, because NAT does the translation work for you.



Standard:

NAT-less routing. If you select

Standard

, you must separately configure your IP addresses so that they

will be publically accessible. Typically you will not select this option unless you have a specific reason to bypass

NAT.



Disabled:

Disable this network.

Interfaces

:

Select network interfaces to attach to this network.

Choose from WiFi and Ethernet port interfaces. Double-

click on any of the interfaces shown on the left in the

Available

section to move them to the

Selected

section

on the right (or highlight an interface and click the +

button). To deselect an interface, double-click on an

interface in the

Selected

section (or highlight the interface

and click the

–

button).

If you want more interface options, you must configure

additional WiFi or Ethernet interfaces separately. See the

Local Network Interfaces

section below (on this same

administration page:

Network Settings

→

WiFi / Local

Networks

).

DHCP Server

:

Changing settings for the DHCP server is optional. The

default selections are almost always sufficient.

DHCP Server:

(Default: Enabled) When the DHCP server

is enabled, users of your network will be able to

automatically connect to the Internet without any special

configuration.

It is recommended that you leave this

enabled.

Disabling the DHCP server is only recommended

if you have another DHCP server on your network and it is

configured properly.

Range Start and Range End:

These designate the range

of values in the reserved pool of IP addresses for the

DHCP server. Values within this range will be given to any

DHCP enabled computers on your network. The default

values are almost always sufficient (default: 72 to 200, as

in 192.168.0.72 to 192.168.0.200).

Example: The MBR1400 uses an IP address of 192.168.0.1 for its

primary network by default. A computer designated as a Web server has a static IP address of 192.168.0.3. Another computer is designated as an

FTP server with a static IP address of 192.168.0.4. The starting IP address for the DHCP server needs to be 192.168.0.5 or higher.

Lease Time:

[Default: 720 minutes (12 hours)] The lease time specifies how long DHCP-enabled computers will wait

before requesting a new DHCP lease. Smaller values are better suited to busy environments.

DHCP Options:

Input a custom DHCP option by first clicking “Add”. There are close to 200 possible DHCP options

available. One of the more common uses is to assign a VoIP phone server using option 66 (Server name).

Option:

Select an option from the dropdown list or manually

enter the number of an option. A

complete list of options

is

available from IANA.

Value:

Generally this field should be a string, IP address, or

numeric value. Some fields can accept both IP addresses and

hostnames

—

in these cases you may need to wrap this value in

quotes. For example, option 66 (Server name) requires quotes

around IP addresses.

Local Network Interfaces

Each LAN type

—

WiFi and Ethernet

—

has a separate section with configuration options. Unless the default configuration is

sufficient, YOU MUST CONFIGURE EACH INTERFACE SEPARATELY in order to create the desired interface options

for a network. You can then select these interfaces to add to a network in the

Local Network Editor

(see above).

Select from the following tabs:



Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings



Ethernet Port Configuration

Wireless (WiFi) Network Settings

The MBR1400 can broadcast as many as four SSIDs (service set identifiers

—

the names for WiFi networks). One

primary WiFi network is enabled by default, while you may have enabled a second guest network when using the First

Time Setup Wizard. You have the ability to change the settings for either of these networks and/or enable two additional

networks.

Wireless Radio:

Enable/Disable. (Default: Enabled). Leave enabled unless you don’t want any WiF

i networks broadcast

from your router.

Select a WiFi network and click

Edit

to change the settings.
