Using the Configuration Menu
UPNP Settings:
Firewall Rule:
Select a firewall rule that controls access as needed for ping
commands. If you do not see the firewall rule you need in the
list of firewall rules, go to the
Advanced
->
Firewalls
page
and create a new firewall rule.
Reboot:
Clicking the
Reboot
button will restart the router. This is useful
for restarting when you are not near the router.
Discard PING from
WAN Side:
If you enable this option, you are causing the router not to respond
to ping commands to the public WAN IP address of the router.
Pinging public WAN IP addresses is a common method used by
hackers to test whether your WAN IP address is valid.
UPnP is short for Universal Plug and Play, which is a networking
architecture that provides compatibility among networking
equipment, software, and peripherals. This router has optional
UPnP capability, and can work with other UPnP devices and
software. If you do need to use the UPnP functionality, you
can enable it here.
Gaming Mode:
If you are experiencing difficulties when playing online games
or even certain applications that use voice data, you may need
to enable Gaming Mode for these applications to work correctly.
When not playing games or using these voice applications, it is
recommended that Gaming Mode be disabled.
VPN Passthrough:
The router supports VPN (Virtual Private Network) pass-through for
PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), L2TP (Level-2 Tunneling
Protocol), and IPSec (IP Security). Select the VPN protocol you want
to enable. Once VPN pass-through is enabled, there is no need to
open up virtual services. Multiple VPN connections can be made
through the router. This is useful when you have many VPN clients
on the LAN.
WAN select to
10/100 Mbps:
Normally, this is set to “auto”. If you have trouble connecting to
the WAN, try the other settings.
Log Email
Settings:
The Email feature can be used to send the system log files to
a designated email address.

Using the Configuration Menu
Print Server
Tools >Print Server
The router can support both “TCP Raw” and “LPD/LPR” printing protocols. Enable one
or both as required by the devices on the LAN.
Raw Port Printing:
Causes the router to support TCP raw (also known as Port
9100). Printers are identified by port numbers (9100 being the
customary starting port number). This option must be enabled
for the Print Wizard to function.
LPD/LPR Printing:
Causes the router to support the LPD/LPR protocol. Printers
are identified by a symbolic queue name. This option is disabled
by default; enable it if required by the devices on the LAN. This
method of printing is generally preferred for Unix or Macintosh
(starting with Mac OS 8.1).
