The SETUP Tab - Dynamic DNS
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.
Dynamic DNS
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.

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 Cloning
To use MAC address cloning, select
Enable
. Otherwise, keep the default,
Disable
.
MAC Address
. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP.
ClonePC’s MAC Address
. If you want to clone the MAC address of the PC you are currently using to configure the
Router, then click this 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.

NAT
If this Router is hosting your network’s connection to the Internet, select
Enabled
. If another Router exists on your
network, select
Disabled
. When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be enabled.
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 use dynamic routing, select
Enabled
. Otherwise, select
Disabled
. When the NAT setting is disabled, dynamic routing will be enabled.
Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or
network. Use this feature to set up a static route between the Router and another network (you can have up to 20
static routes). To create a static route, alter the following settings:
Routing Entries
. Select the number of the static route from the drop-down menu.
Enter Route Name
. Enter a name for the static route, using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.
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.
Interface
. Select
LAN & Wireless
or
WAN (Internet)
, depending on the location of the final destination.
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, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and Interface
are displayed. Click
REFRESH
to update the information. Click
CLOSE WINDOW
to exit this screen.

Wireless Setting
Network
. 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,
Mixed
. If you
have only Wireless-N devices, select
Wireless-N Only
. If you have only Wireless-G devices, select
Wireless-G
Only
. If you have only Wireless-B devices, select
Wireless-B Only
. If you do not have any wireless devices in your
network, select
Disable
.
Wireless 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 (
linksys
) to a unique name.
Radio Band
. For best performance in a network using Wireless-N, Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices, keep the
default,
Wide - 40MHz Channel
. For Wireless-G and Wireless-B networking only, select
Standard - 20MHz
Channel
. If you are not sure which radio band to select, keep the default,
Auto
.
Wide Channel
. If you selected Wide - 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.
Standard Channel
. Select the channel for Wireless-N, Wireless-G, and Wireless-B networking. If you selected
Wide – 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
Disable
.
When you have finished making changes to this screen, click
SAVE SETTINGS
to save the changes, or click
CANCEL CHANGES
to clear all fields and start over.
NOTE:
If you select Wide - 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.

These settings configure the security of your wireless network. There are six wireless security modes supported
by the Router: PSK-Personal, PSK2-Personal, PSK-Enterprise, PSK-2 Enterprise, RADIUS, and WEP. PSK (Pre-
Shared Key), is a security standard stronger than WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), while RADIUS stands for
Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service.) For details on configuring wireless security for the Router, turn to
“Appendix B: Wireless Security.” If you do not want to use wireless security, select
Disabled
in the Security Mode.
