if you want.



Start/End IP:

Enter the start/end IP address.



URL Character String:

Specify the URL or keyword that you want to block.



Time:

NOTE

:

Enter only one domain name or keyword for each access policy. So, if you want to filter

multiple domain names or keywords, you need to set multiple access policies.

There is no way for any router to filter https:// addresses since they are encrypted so

there is sometimes a way around this filtering process depending on the website and if

the user knows this.

8.4 Remote Web Management

This section instructs how to allow the network administrator to manage the Router

remotely.



Enable:

Check to enable remote web management.



Port:

The management port open to outside access. The default value is 8080.



IP Address:

Specify the range of the Public IP addresses of the computers on the

Internet for remote management.

NOTE:

1. If you want to log into your Medialink router’s Web-based Utility via port 8080, you

need to use the

format

of WAN IP

address:

port

(for example http

：

//220.135.211.56:8080) to implement remote login.

2. If your WAN IP address starts and ends with 0.0.0.0, it means all hosts on the Internet

can implement remote Web management. If you change the Internet IP address to be a

range like this: 124.88.97.17-124.88.97.19, then only the computers at the IP addresses

of 124.88.97.17, 124.88.97.18 and 124.88.97.19 can access the Router to implement

remote web management.

For example:

If you want to configure the computer at the IP address of 124.88.97.17 to access the

router’s web-based utility via port 8080, please set the parameters as above.

Chapter 9 Routing Settings

9.1 Routing Table

This page shows the router’s core routing table.

The main duty for a router is to look for the best path for every data packet, and transfer

this data packet to a destination. In order to fulfill this function, many transferring paths,

(i.e. routing table) are saved in the router, for use when needed.

9.2 Static Routing

This screen is used to set the router’s static routing.

MWN-WAPR300N

49

A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information must travel to reach

a specific host or network.



Destination Network IP Address

: The destination host or IP segment you visit.



Subnet Mask

: Enter the subnet mask, generally it is 255.255.255.0



Gateway

: The entry IP address of the next router.

NOTE:

1. The gateway must be at the same network segment as the router’s LAN IP Address.

2. If the destination IP address is one host’s address, then the subnet mask must be

255.255.255.255.

3. If the destination IP address is an IP segment, then it must match with the subnet

mask. For example, if the destination IP is 10.0.0.0 then the subnet mask must be

255.0.0.0

Chapter 10 System Tools

10.1 Time Settings

This section is to configure the router’s system time. You can set it manually or obtain

the GMT time from the Internet.



Time Zone:

Select the time zone where you are operating the Router from the

drop-down list.



Customized time:

Enter the time you wish to configure. This time is automatically

acquired from your connected computer’s time settings. Use the Customized Time

section to apply Daylight Savings Time.

NOTE:

When the Router is powered off, the time settings will be lost. The router will obtain the

GMT time automatically the next time you access the Internet. Only when you connect to

the Internet and obtain the GMT time or set the time on this screen, can the time settings

in other functions (e.g. security settings) take effect.

10.2 DDNS

DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) is used to assign a fixed host and domain

name to a dynamic Internet IP address. Every time you access the Internet, the dynamic

domain name software installed on your host will tell the ISP’S host server its dynamic IP

address by sending messages. The server software is responsible for providing DNS

service and implementing dynamic domain name resolution.
