WAN Setup
To change broadband Internet connection settings, use the Broadband Settings screen, as
described in
Manually Configure Your Internet Settings
on page
15.
To view or change the WAN setup:
1.
From the main menu, select WAN Setup to display
the WAN Setup screen.
2.
Make the changes that you want, and then click
Apply
to save the settings.
The WAN Setup fields are described in the table below.

Description
Disable SPI Firewall
This check box is usually cleared so that the firewall protects your
LAN against port scans and denial of service attacks. This check box
should be selected only in special circumstances.
Default DMZ Server
This feature is sometimes helpful when you are using some online
games and videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature
because it makes the firewall security less effective. See
Setting Up
a Default DMZ Server
on page
68.
Respond to Ping on Internet
If you want the router to respond to a ping from the Internet, select
this check box. This should be used only as a diagnostic tool, since it
allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this check box
unless you have a specific reason to do so.
MTU Size
Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) value. For most Ethernet networks
this is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436
bytes for PPTP connections.
NAT Filtering
This is set to
Secured
to provide a secure firewall to protect
computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet. The Open
setting is less secure.
Disable SIP ALG
Some VoIP applications do not work well with SIP ALG. Selecting
this check box might help your VoIP devices create or accept a call
through the router.

Setting Up a Default DMZ Server
WARNING!
For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ
server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ
server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is
exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the
computer can be used to attack your network.
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to
recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other
applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the
application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.
Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports
screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your
network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.
To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server:
1.
Go to the WAN Setup screen as described in the previous section.
2.
Select the
Default DMZ Server
check box.
3.
Type the IP address for that server.
4.
Click
Apply
to save your changes.

LAN Setup
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP.
These features can be found under Advanced in the router main menu.
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act
as a DHCP server. The router default LAN IP configuration is:
•
LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1
•
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)–designated private
address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your
network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those
changes in this screen.
Tip:
If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through
the browser, you will be disconnected, and so will others connected to
the router. To connect to the router, you must open a new connection to
the new IP address and log in again. Others using the router must restart
their computers to connect to the router again.
To view or change the LAN setup:
1.
Select LAN IP to display the LAN Setup screen.
2.
Change the settings. For more information, see
DHCP Settings
on page
70, or
Reserved IP

The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are explained in the table below.
Table 5.
Settings
Description
Device Name
LAN TCP/IP
Setup
IP Address
The LAN IP address of the router.
IP Subnet Mask
The LAN subnet mask of the router. Combined with the IP address,
the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses
are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or
router.
DHCP Server
For more
information, see
DHCP Settings
on page
70.
Use Router as a DHCP
Server
This check box is usually selected so that the router functions as a
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. See
DHCP
Settings
on page
70.
Starting IP Address
Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same
subnet as the router.
Ending IP Address
Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same
subnet as the router.
Address Reservation
For more information, see
DHCP Settings
on page
70.
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN,
that computer receives the same IP address each time it access the
router’s DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that
require permanent IP settings.
DHCP Settings
By default, the router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server,
allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers
connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of
the router. IP addresses is assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified
in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses
on the LAN.
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.
Click the link to the online document
ITCP/IP Networking Basics
on page
96 for an
explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network.
Use Router as DHCP Server
If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure
the network settings of all of your computers, clear the
Use Router as DHCP Server
check
box on the LAN IP Setup screen. Otherwise, leave it selected.
Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by filling in the
Starting IP Address
and
Ending IP Address
fields. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet
as the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a
range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the
range for devices with fixed addresses.

Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1210 User Manual
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•
An IP address from the range you have defined.
•
Subnet mask.
•
Gateway IP address is the router’s LAN IP address.
•
Primary DNS server, if you entered a primary DNS address in the Basic Settings screen;
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address.
•
Secondary DNS server, if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings
screen.
•
WINS server (Windows Internet Naming Service Server) determines the IP address
associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list
of names and IP address of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote
network that contains a WINS server, enter the server’s IP address here. This allows your
PCs to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows.
Reserved IP Addresses
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it access the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP
addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1.
Click the
Add
button.
2.
In the
IP Address
field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an
IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.
3.
Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip:
If the computer is on your network, it is listed on the same screen for your
convenience. Clicking the radio button for each entry in the attached
device list fills in the fields automatically with the computer’s MAC
address and name.
4.
Click
Apply
to enter the reserved address into the table.
Note:
The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the
computer contacts the router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer
or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry:
1.
Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete.
2.
Click
Edit
or
Delete
.
