Client Lease Time
. The Client Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the
Router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time, in minutes, that the user will be “leased”
this dynamic IP address. After the dynamic IP address has expired, the user will be automatically assigned a new
dynamic IP address. The default is
0
minutes, which means one day.
WINS
. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) converts NetBIOS names to IP addresses. If you use a WINS
server, enter that server’s IP address here. Otherwise, leave this field blank.

The Setup Tab - DDNS
The Router offers a Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS) feature. DDNS lets you assign a fixed host and
domain name to a dynamic Internet IP address. It is useful when you are hosting your own website, FTP server,
or other server behind the Router.
Before you can use this feature, you need to sign up for DDNS service at one of two DDNS service providers,
DynDNS.org or TZO.com. If you do not want to use this feature, keep the default setting,
Disable
.
DDNS
DDNS Service
. If you use DynDNS.org, then select

The Setup Tab - MAC Address Clone
A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique piece of hardware for identification, like a social security
number. Some ISPs will require you to register a MAC address in order to access the Internet. If you do not wish
to re-register the MAC address with your ISP, you may assign the MAC address you have currently registered
with your ISP to the Router with the MAC Address Clone feature.
MAC Clone
MAC Clone Service
. To use MAC address cloning, select
Enable
.
MAC Address
. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP. Then click the
Save Settings
button.
Clone
. If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are currently using to configure the Router, then click
the
Clone
button. The Router will automatically detect your PC’s MAC address, so you do NOT have to call your
ISP to change the registered MAC address to the Router’s MAC address. It is recommended that the PC
registered with the ISP is used to open the
MAC Address Clone
screen.

The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing
The Setup Tab - Advanced Routing
The
Advanced Routing
screen allows you to configure the firewall, Network Address Translation (NAT), dynamic
routing, and static routing settings.
Advanced Routing
Firewall & NAT
. The Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall reviews data packets entering your network. NAT
is a security feature that enables the Router to translate IP addresses of your local area network to a different IP
address for the Internet. These features are enabled by default. To disable the firewall and NAT, click the
Disable
radio button. (When NAT is disabled, the DHCP server feature is also disabled.)
Dynamic Routing
. This feature enables the Router to automatically adjust to physical changes in the network’s
layout and exchange routing tables with the other router(s). The Router determines the network packets’ route
based on the fewest number of hops between the source and the destination. To enable Dynamic Routing, click
the
Enable
radio button. To disable this feature, click the
Disable
radio button.
Transmit RIP Version
. To use dynamic routing for transmission of network data, select the protocol you want,
RIP1 v1
,
RIP1 v1 Compatible
, or
RIP v2
.
Static Routing
. Use this feature to set up a static router between the Router and another network. (A static route
is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or network.) To create
a static route, alter the following settings:
Select Entry
. Select the number of the static route from the drop-down menu. The Router supports up to 20
static route entries.
Destination LAN IP
. The Destination LAN IP Address is the address of the remote network or host to which
you want to assign a static route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route.

Subnet Mask
. The Subnet Mask determines which portion of a Destination IP address is the network
portion, and which portion is the host portion.
Gateway
. This is the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Router and the
remote network or host.
Hop Count
. This determines the maximum number of steps between network nodes that data packets will
travel. A node is any device on the network, such as PCs, print servers, routers, etc.
Interface
. Select
Local
or
Internet
, depending on the location of the static route’s final destination.
Delete Entry
. If you need to delete a route, select its number from the drop-down menu, and click the
Delete
Entry
button.
Show Routing Table
. Click the
Show Routing Table
button to open a screen displaying how data is routed
through your local network. For each route, the Destination LAN IP address, Default Gateway, Subnet Mask,
Flags, Metric, Ref (Reference), User, and Interface are displayed. Click the
Refresh
button to update the
information.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click the
