N600 Wireless Dual Band Gigabit ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3700
All APs, including the DGND3700 wireless modem router, have to use the same
SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and WEP security settings if security is in
use.
All point-to-point APs have to have the MAC address of AP 1 (the DGND3700
wireless modem router in the previous figure) in the
Remote AP MAC address
field.
4.
Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any LAN segment should be able to
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected to
any of the three LAN segments.
Note:
Wireless stations configured as they are in
Figure 52
on page 134
will not be able to connect to the wireless modem router or access
points. If you require wireless stations to access any LAN segment,
you can use additional access points configured in wireless access
point mode in any LAN segment.
Repeater with Wireless Client Association
In the repeater mode with wireless client association, the DGND3700 wireless modem router
sends all traffic to a remote access point. For the repeater mode, you have to enter the MAC
address of the remote “parent” access point. Alternatively, you can configure the DGND3700
wireless modem router as the parent by entering the address of a “child” access point. Note
that the following restrictions apply:
You
do not
have the option of disabling client associations with this DGND3700 wireless
modem router.
You cannot configure a sequence of parent-child APs. You are limited to only one parent
access point, although if the DGND3700 wireless modem router is the parent access
point, it can connect with up to four child APs.

To set up a repeater with wireless client association:
1.
Configure the operating mode of the devices.
Configure AP 1 (the DGND3700 wireless modem router in the preceding figure) with
the MAC address of AP 2 and AP 3 in the first two
Remote MAC Address
fields.
Configure AP 2 with the MAC address of AP 1 in the
Remote MAC Address
field.
Configure AP 3 with the MAC address of AP 1 in the
Remote MAC Address
field.
2.
Verify the following for both access points:
The LAN network configuration of each access point is configured to operate in the
same LAN network address range as the LAN devices.
The access points have to be on the same LAN. That is, the LAN IP addresses for the
access points have to be in the same network.
If you are using DHCP, for all access points, in the Basic Settings screen, in the
Internet IP Address section, the
Get Dynamically from ISP
check box should be
selected.
Access point devices have to use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, and
encryption.
3.
Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any LAN segment should be able to
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other PCs or servers connected
to any of the three WLAN segments.
Remote Management
The Remote Management screen lets you allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade, and check the status of your wireless modem router.

To configure remote management:
1.
Select
Advanced > Remote Management
to display this screen:
Figure 55.
Remote Management screen
2.
Select the
Turn Remote Management On
check box.
3.
Specify the external addresses of wireless modem routers than can access remote
management. For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical:
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select
Only This Computer
and enter the IP address that is allowed access.
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select
IP Address
and
enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select
Everyone
.
4.
Specify the port number to be used for accessing the router interface.
Web browser access usually uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater
security, you can change it so the remote router interface uses a custom port by entering
that number in the field provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not
use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common
alternate for HTTP.
5.
Click
Apply
to save your changes.
To access your wireless modem router from the Internet, type your wireless modem
router’s WAN IP address in your browser’s Address field, followed by a colon (:) and the
custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 at port
number 8080, enter the following in your browser:
Note:
The http:// has to be included in the address.

Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal
circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for
Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You have to
configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets
located on your network.
Static Route Example
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route
was created with your ISP as the wireless modem router, and a second static route was
created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to
the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the
request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you have to define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route setup would look like
Figure 57, Adding a static route
.
In this example:
The
Destination IP Address
and
IP Subnet Mask
fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
The
Gateway IP Address
field specifies that all traffic for these addresses are to be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
The value in the
Metric
field represents the number of routers between your network and
the destination. This is a direct connection, so it can be set to the minimum value of 2.
The
Private
check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP
is activated.

b.
In the Route Name field, enter a route name for this static route. This name is for
identification purpose only.
c.
Select
Private
if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be
reported in RIP.
d.
Select
Active
to make this route effective.
e.
Enter the IP address of the final destination.
f.
Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255.
g.
Enter the gateway IP address, which has to be a router on the same LAN segment
as the router.
h.
In the Metric field, enter a number between 2 and 15 as the metric value. This
represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually,
a setting of 2 or 3 works.
