Figure 10: Basic - 5.0 GHz Wireless
This page allows you to configure basic 5.0 GHz WiFi settings for this device such as enabling/disabling the 5.0 GHz WiFi
functionality, changing the 5.0 GHz Wireless Network Name (SSID) or the 5.0 GHz Wireless Security key. If you make any changes
to the settings, click the “Save and apply changes” button
to make these changes active.
OPTION
DEFINITION
Wireless (WiFi) ON/ OFF:
Changing this option to Off will turn off the WiFi feature on the NF2 and you will not be able to connect to your
NF2 wirelessly.
SSID Broadcast
Select whether the NF2 will broadcast the SSID (Network Name) for any wireless device in range to detect.
WiFi Network Name (SSID):
The SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the name of your wireless network. Use a unique name to identify your
wireless device so that you can easily connect to it from your wireless clients. This field is case sensitive and
can be up to 32 characters long.
Security key:
Enter your chosen Wireless Security key here. The default WPA-PSK key is printed on the wireless security
card and on the Product ID on the bottom of the NF2. Please note that whilst the key can be customized on
this page, the key will revert to the default if the NF2 is reset to factory default settings.

WAN
This page gives the user the option of selecting the WAN interface type. Options include Dynamic IP address (the default option),
Static IP Address, PPPoE, PPTP, or L2TP.
There is also an option to enter a Host Name with which to access the router instead of
having to enter an IP address into a browser, which may be difficult to remember. You can also press the clone button to
automatically detect the WAN connection’s MAC address.
OPTION
DEFINITION
WAN type
The current Wide Area Network (WAN) interface type can be selected here.
Host Name
The option to set a label to the router’s IP address so that it can be accessed
using the host name instead of
via an IP address.
ISP Registered MAC address
The WAN connection’s MAC address is the MAC address that the ISP will be detecting.
Enable 3G backup
Select this option if you require a Mobile Broadband WAN connection to act as a failover for the Ethernet WAN
connection. Please see the Mobile Broadband page for a description of the 3G/4G settings.

Ethernet WAN Settings
OPTION
DEFINITION
WAN Interface
Enter the WAN interface required. Options are Ethernet WAN or Wireless WAN (3G/4G Mobile Broadband).
WAN Type
Enter the WAN type of the WAN interface; Options include Dynamic IP Address (default), Static IP address,
PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), PPTP and L2TP.
Automatic 3G Backup
Select the Enable checkbox to enable automatic MBB backup of the Ethernet WAN interface. Enter an IP
address or domain name into the Remote Host for Keep Alive field for the router to periodically check the status
of the connection.
Host Name
This optional field can be used to create a domain name instead of using the IP address of the router to access
the management console locally.
ISP Registered MAC Address
Press the clone button for the router to automatically detect the MAC address of the WAN interface.
NAT
Select this option if NAT (Network Address Translation) is required. In most cases NAT will be required.
Therefore NAT is enabled by default.
Multicast
Select whether which version IGMP (Internet Group management Protocol) is required for your WAN
connection. In most cases the Auto connection will suffice.
IGMP Snooping
Select whether you wish IGMP enabled on the WAN connection. IGMP snooping is the process of listening to
(IGMP) network traffic. IGMP snooping, as implied by the name, allows the router to listen in on the IGMP
conversation between computers and the routers. By listening to these conversations the router maintains a
map of which links need which IP multicast streams. Multicasts may be filtered from the links which do not
need them.
