4.6.2
Port Range
Port range allows you to share resources on your PC with your friends
who are not in your LAN. By default, the router's firewall blocks inbound
traffic from the Internet to your computer except for the replies to the
outbound traffic. You can use the port forwarding feature to create
exceptions to this rule so that your friends can access these files from
external networks.
When accessing your PC from the Internet, type
"protocol://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port number" into your browser’s address bar.
The protocol and port are the ones used by the service, whereas
"xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx" is the WAN IP address of your router. For example, a FTP
server uses the ftp protocol and 21 (standard port number).

Start/End Port:
Enter the start/end port number within the ranges
forwarded from the external ports to set the server or Internet
applications.
IP Address:
Enter the IP address of the PC where you want to set the
applications.
Protocol:
Select the protocol (TCP/UDP/Both) for the application.
Enable:
Activate this rule.
Note
：
1.
Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP
address. Private IP addresses are not routed on the Internet.
2.
Make sure you enter the correct service port numbers.
3.
To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP
address, assign a static IP address to your PC.
4.
Operating System built-in firewall and some anti-virus programs
may block other PCs from accessing resources on your PC. So it is
advisable to disable them before using this feature.
When finished, click Save to save your settings.
For example: if your WAN IP address is 202.33.56.88, when accessing
your FTP server from external network, your friends only need to enter
in their browsers.
4.6.3
DMZ Settings
The DMZ function allows one computer in the LAN to be exposed to the
Internet for a special-purpose service such as online gaming or video
conferencing.

DMZ Host IP:
The IP address of the computer you want to expose.
4.6.4
DDNS
The router supports DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System). This is used
to assign a fixed host and domain name to a dynamic Internet IP
address and FTP server. To activate this function, check "Enable" and
sign into the DDNS service provider.
4.6.5
Remote WEB
By selecting "Enable" you allow the network administrator to manage
the router remotely.
Enable:
Check to enable the Remote Web Management feature.
Port:
The management port grants external access. The default setting is
8080. This can be changed.

Note:
1.
For better security, configure a port number from 1025 to 65535 as a
remote web management interface. Do not use the number of any
common service port (1-1024).
2.
Make sure your WAN IP address (Internet IP address) is a public IP
address. Private IP addresses are not routed to the Internet.
3.
It is unsafe to make your router remotely accessible from all PCs on
the external network. For better security, we suggest that you only
enter the IP address of the PC for remote management.
4.6.6
WAN Ping
The ping test is to check the status of your internet connection. When
disabling the test, the system will prevent the ping test from the WAN.
4.7.
Routing Settings

Destination IP:
The IP address of the final destination. "0.0.0.0" indicates any
network segment.
Subnet Mask:
The subnet mask for the specified destination.
Gateway:
The next router on the same LAN segment as the router to reach.
Metric:
The number of routers between your network and the destination.
Interface:
The interface between your router and the final destination.
4.8.
Traffic Control
Traffic control is used to monitor and control the communication speed
in the LAN. It can support up to 20 entries to monitor at most 254 PCs,
including IP address range configuration.
Interface:
To limit the uploading/downloading bandwidth from the
WAN port.
Bandwidth Range:
To specify the uploading/downloading Min/Max
traffic speed (KB/s) which cannot exceed the WAN speed.
