Ma±l Exchange (Opt±onal)
Enter the address of your mail
exchange server, so e-mails to your DynDNS address go to
your mail server.
Backup MX
This feature allows the mail exchange server
to be a backup. To disable this feature, keep the default,

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.

Advanced Routing
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
to delete a static route.
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
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.
Interface
This interface tells you whether the Destination
IP address is on the
LAN & W±reless
(Ethernet and wireless
networks) or the
WAN
(Internet)
.
Click

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

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,
WPA2 Personal, WPA Enterprise, WPA2 Enterprise, RADIUS,
and WEP. (WPA stands for Wi-Fi Protected Access, which
is a security method 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.”
