Wireless-N Gigabit Router with Storage Link

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,

Disable

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.

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.

Setup > Advanced Routing

This screen is used to set up the Router’s advanced

functions. Operating Mode allows you to select the

type(s) of advanced functions you use. Dynamic Routing

automatically adjusts how packets travel on your network.

Static Routing sets up a fixed route to another network

destination.

Advanced Routing

NAT

If this Router is hosting your network’s connection

to the Internet, select

Enable

. If another Router exists

on your network, select

Disable.

When NAT is disabled,

Dynamic Routing (RIP)

will be available as an option.

Dynamic Routing

RIP

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. This feature is

Disabled

by default.

Static Routing

Select Route Entry number

To set up a static route

between the Router and another network, select a

number from the drop-down list. (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. (Click

Delete

using a maximum of 25 alphanumeric characters.

Destination 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

Mask

The

Subnet

Mask

determines

which

portion of a Destination LAN 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.

Wireless 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 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

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,

do not want to broadcast the Router’s SSID, then select

Disable

Wireless > Wireless Security

The Wireless Security settings configure 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

on configuring wireless security for the Router, refer to

“Chapter 2: Wireless Security.”
