Stat±c DNS ²-3
The Domain Name System (DNS) is how
the Internet translates domain or website names into
Internet addresses or URLs. Your ISP will provide you with at
least one DNS Server IP Address. If you wish to use another,
enter that IP Address in one of these fields. You can enter up
to three DNS Server IP Addresses here. The Router will use
these for quicker access to functioning DNS servers
.
WINS
The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS)
manages each PC’s interaction with the Internet. If you
use a WINS server, enter that server’s IP Address here.
Otherwise, leave this blank.

Setup > 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 with a DDNS service provider,
www.dyndns.org or www.TZO.com. If you do not want to
use this feature, keep the default setting,
D±sabled
.
DDNS
DDNS Service
If your DDNS service is provided by DynDNS.org, then
select
DynDNS.org
from the drop-down menu. If your
DDNS service is provided by TZO, then select
TZO.com
.
The features available on the
DDNS
screen will vary,
depending on which DDNS service provider you use.

W±ldcard
This setting enables or disables wildcards
for your host. For example, if your DDNS address is
myplace.dyndns.org
and you enable wildcards, then
x.myplace.dyndns.org
will work as well (x is the wildcard).
To disable wildcards, keep the default,
D±sabled

Setup > MAC Address Clone
A MAC address is a 12-digit code assigned to a unique
piece of hardware for identification. 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.

NAT
Enabled/D±sabled
If this Router is hosting your network’s
connection to the Internet, keep the default,
Enabled
. If
another router exists on your network, select
D±sabled
.
When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be
enabled.
Dynamic Routing (RIP)
Enabled/D±sabled
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. When the NAT setting is enabled, the
Dynamic Routing feature is automatically disabled. When
the NAT setting is disabled, this feature is available. Select
Enabled
to use the Dynamic Routing feature.
Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network
information must travel to reach a specific host or network.
Enter the information described below to set up a new
static route.
Route Entr±es
To set up a static route between the Router
and another network, select a number from the drop-
down list. Click
Delete Th±s Entry

Enter Route Name
Enter a name for the Route here,
using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.
Dest±nat±on LAN IP
The Destination LAN IP is the address
of the remote network or host to which you want to assign
a static route.
Subnet

The
Subnet
Mask
determines
which
portion of a Destination LAN IP address is the network
portion, and which portion is the host portion.

Network Mode
From this drop-down menu, you can
select the wireless standards running on your network. If
you have Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B devices in
your network, keep the default setting,
M±xed
. If you have
only Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices in your network,
select

Network Name (SSID)
The SSID is the network name
shared among all points in a wireless network. The
SSID must be identical for all devices in the wireless
network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed
32 characters (use any of the characters on the keyboard).
Make sure this setting is the same for all points in your
wireless network. For added security, you should change
the default SSID (
l±nksys
) to a unique name.
Rad±o Band
For best performance in a network using
Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the
default,
Auto - 20/40MHz Channel
. For Wireless-G and
Wireless-B networking only, select
Standard - 20MHz
Channel
.
NOTE:
If you select Auto - 20/40MHz Channel
for the Radio Band setting, then Wireless-N can
use two channels: a primary one (Wide Channel)
and a secondary one (Standard Channel). This
will enhance Wireless-N performance.
W±de Channel
If you selected Auto
- 20/40MHz Channel
for the Radio Band setting, then this setting will be
available for your primary Wireless-N channel. Select any
channel from the drop-down menu. If you are not sure
which channel to select, keep the default,
Auto
.
Standard Channel
Select the channel for Wireless-N,
Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected
Auto – 20/40MHz Channel for the Radio Band setting,
then the Standard Channel will be a secondary channel
for Wireless-N. If you are not sure which channel to select,
keep the default,
Auto
.
SSID Broadcast
When wireless clients survey the local
area for wireless networks to associate with, they will
detect the SSID broadcast by the Router. To broadcast the
Router’s SSID, keep the default setting,
Enabled
. If you
do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select
D±sabled
.

Wireless > Wireless Security
The
Wireless  Security
screen configures the security of
your wireless network. There are six wireless security
mode options supported by the Router: WPA Personal,
WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Personal, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security standard stronger than WEP encryption. WEP
stands for Wired Equivalent Privacy, while RADIUS stands
for Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) These
six are briefly discussed here. For detailed instructions
