WINS
. The Windows Internet Naming Service (WINS) performs name resolution function (similar to DNS) in the
Windows network environment. It can help you to determine the IP address of a remote Windows PC from its
computer name. If you have a WINS server, enter that server's IP Address here. Otherwise, leave this blank.
IPv6
IPv6 Address
. If you selected
dual-stack
option under IP Versions Setup screen, enter the IPv6 address on the
LAN side of the Router.
Prefix Length
. Enter the IPv6 prefix length. The default is 64, which should not need to be changed.
Router Advertisement
. Enabling this option allows the Router to send out IPv6 Router Advertisement packets
periodically. This helps IPv6 hosts to learn their IPv6 prefix and setup their IPv6 Address automatically.
Primary DNS
. Enter the Primary IPv6 DNS server address.
Secondary DNS
. Enter the Secondary IPv6 DNS server address.

DMZ
The
DMZ
screen allows one local PC to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service, such as
Internet gaming and video-conferencing. DMZ hosting forwards traffic to all the ports for the specified PC
simultaneously, unlike Port Range Forwarding that can only forward a maximum of 10 ranges of ports.
DMZ Hosting
. This feature allows one local PC to be exposed to the Internet for use of a special-purpose service
such as Internet gaming and video-conferencing. To use this feature, select
Enabled
. To disable the DMZ feature,
select
Disabled
.
DMZ Host IP Address
. To expose one PC, enter the computer’s IP address.

MAC Address Clone
Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature clones your PC network adapter's MAC address
onto the Router, and prevents you from having to call your ISP to change the registered MAC address to the
Router's MAC address. The Router's MAC address is a 6-byte hexadecimal number assigned to a unique piece of
hardware for identification.
Mac Address Clone
. Select
Enabled
or
Disabled
. The default is Enabled.
Mac Address
. Enter the MAC Address registered with your ISP in this field.
Clone My PC’s MAC
button. When Mac Address Clone is enabled, click this to copy the MAC address of the
network adapter in the computer that you are using to connect to the Web-based utility.
Click
Save Settings
to save the MAC Cloning settings or click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your changes.

Advanced Routing
Operating Mode
Select the Operating mode in which the Router will function.
Internet Gateway
. This is the normal mode of operation. This allows all devices on your LAN to share the same
WAN (Internet) IP address. In the Internet Gateway mode, the NAT (Network Address Translation) mechanism is
enabled.
Intranet Router
. You either need another Router to act as the Internet Gateway, or all PCs on your LAN must be
assigned (fixed) Internet IP addresses. In Intranet Router mode, the NAT mechanism is disabled.
Dynamic Routing
The Router's dynamic routing feature can be used to automatically establish a routing table through a database
exchange with peer routers (running the same routing protocol). The Router supports RIP (Routing Information
Protocol) versions 1 & 2.
RIP (Routing Information Protocol
. The Router, using the RIP protocol, calculates the most efficient route for
the network’s data packets to travel between the source and the destination based upon the shortest paths.
RIP Send Packet Version
. Choose the version of RIP packets you want to send to peers: RIPv1 or RIPv2. This
should match the version supported by other Routers on your LAN.
RIP Recv Packet Version
. Choose the version of RIP packets you want to receive from peers: RIPv1 or RIPv2.
This should match the version supported by other Routers on your LAN.

Static Routing
Sometimes you will prefer to use static routes to build your routing table instead of using dynamic routing
protocols. Static routes do not require CPU resources to exchange routing information with a peer router. You can
also use static routes to reach peer routers that do not support dynamic routing protocols. Static routes can be
used together with dynamic routes. Be careful not to introduce routing loops in your network.
To set up static routing, you should add route entries in the routing table that tell the Router where to forward
packets to specific IP destinations.
Enter the following data to create a static route entry:
1.
Select Set Number
. Select the set number (routing table entry number) that you wish to view or configure. If
necessary, click
Delete This Entry
to clear the entry.
2.
Destination IP Prefix
. Enter the network address of the remote LAN segment. For a standard Class C IP
domain, the network address is the first three fields of the Destination LAN IP; the last field should be zero.
3.
Subnet Mask
. Enter the Subnet Mask used on the destination LAN IP domain. For Class C IP domains, the
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0.
4.
Next Hop Router
. Enter the next hop router used to reach your destination LAN, as defined in Step (2).
5.
Hop Count (max. 15)
. This value gives the number of routers that a data packet passes through before
reaching its destination. It is used to define the priority on which route to use if there is a conflict between a
static route and dynamic route.
Show Routing Table
button. Click this button to show the routing table established either through dynamic or
static routing methods.
Click the
Save Settings
button to save the Routing settings, click the
Cancel Changes
button to undo your
changes or click the
Show Routing Table
button to view the current routing table.

Time
You can either define your Router’s time manually or automatically through Time Server. The default is
Automatically
.
Manually
If you wish to enter the time and date manually, select the
Date
from the drop-down fields and enter the hour,
minutes, and seconds in the Time field using 24 hour format (example 10:00pm would be entered 22:0:0).
Automatically
Time Zone
. Select the time zone for your location and your setting synchronizes over the Internet with public NTP
(Network Time Protocol) Servers.
User Defined NTP Server
. If you want to use your own NTP server, select the
Enabled
option. The default is
Disabled.
NTP Server IP Address
. Enter the IP address of your own NTP server.
