3.
Check the Use a dynamic DNS service check box.
4.
Select your dynamic DNS Service Provider from the Service Provider box.
5.
Type the Host Name (or domain name) that your dynamic DNS service provider gave you.
6.
Type the User Name for your dynamic DNS account.
7.
Type the Password (or key) for your dynamic DNS account.
8.
If your dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you may
select the Use wildcards check box to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature
will cause *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org

Configuring 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 must configure static routes only for
unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Static Routes to view the
IP Static Routes menu, shown below.
To add or edit a Static Route:

1.
Click the Add button to open the Add/Edit Menu.
2.
Type a route name for this static route in the Route Name box under the table. This is for
identification purposes only.
3.
Check the Private box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be
reported in RIP.
4.
Select Active to make this route effective.
5.
Type the Destination IP Address of the final destination.
6.
Type the IP Subnet Mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type
255.255.255.255.
7.
Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router.
8.
Type a number between 1 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, but if this is a
direct connection, set it to 1.
9.
Click
Apply
to have the static route entered into the table.
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 192.168.1.100.
•
Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0.

v1.2, September 2006
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was
created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network
for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the
134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your
request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the
company’s firewall.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed
through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
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 fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100.
•
A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.
•
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
Enabling Remote Management Access
Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,
upgrade and check the status of your 54Mpbs Wireless Router.
To configure your router for Remote Management:
Note:
Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure
password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any
language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers,
and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.

1.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on Remote Management
2.
Check the Turn Remote Management On check box.
3.
Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management.
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.
a.
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select
Everyone
.
b.
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select
IP address range
.
Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.
c.
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select
Only this Computer
.
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
4.
Specify the Port Number that will be used for accessing the management interface.
Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security,
change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering that number in the
box 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.

Using Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access
the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the
services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.
From the Main Menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click on UPnP.
Set up UPnP according to the guidelines below.
•
Turn UPnP On.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The
default setting for UPnP is disabled. If disabled, the router will not allow any device to
automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router.
Note:
When accessing your router from the Internet, you will type your router's WAN IP
address into your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box,
followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external
address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, you must enter http://
134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.
Figure 5-11
Note:
If you use applications such as multi-player gaming, peer-to-peer connections,
real time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a
feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.
