When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router’s WAN IP address into your
browser’s address or location field 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, enter
in your browser.
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,
to 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.
Note:
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer
connections, or real-time communications such as instant
messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you
should enable UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1.
Select
ADVANCED > Advanced >
UPnP
. The UPnP screen displays.
2.
The available settings and information in this screen are:
Turn UPnP On
.
UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.
The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the router does
not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding
(mapping), of the router.

Advertisement Period
.
The advertisement period is how often the router broadcasts its
UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30
minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the
expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the
device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.
Advertisement Time to Live
.
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops
(steps) for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of steps a
broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it
disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the
advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you
notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be
necessary to increase this value.
UPnP Portmap Table
.
The UPnP Portmap table displays the IP address of each UPnP
device that is accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that device has
opened. The UPnP Portmap table also displays what type of port is open and whether
that port is still active for each IP address.

Traffic Meter
Traffic metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic passing through your
router’s Internet port. With the traffic meter utility, you can set limits for traffic volume, set a
monthly limit, and get a live update of traffic usage.
To monitor Internet traffic:
1.
Click
ADVANCED > Advanced > Traffic Meter
to display the following screen:
2.
To enable the traffic meter, select the
Enable Traffic Meter for Internet
check box.

If you would like to record and restrict the volume of Internet traffic, select the
Traffic
volume control
by
radio button. You can select one of the following options for controlling
the traffic volume:
No limit
. No restriction is applied when the traffic limit is reached.
Download only
. The restriction is applied to incoming traffic only.
Both directions
. The restriction is applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic.
4.
You can limit the amount of data traffic allowed per month by specifying how many Mbytes
per month are allowed or by specifying how many hours of traffic are allowed.
5.
Set the traffic counter to begin at a specific time and date.
6.
Set up traffic control to issue a warning message before the monthly limit of Mbytes or hours
is reached. You can select one of the following to occur when the limit is attained:
•
The Internet LED blinks green or amber.
•
The Internet connection is disconnected and disabled.
7.
Set up Internet traffic statistics to monitor the data traffic.
8.

Basic Functioning
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:
1.
When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is lit.
2.
After approximately a minute, verify the following:
a.
The Power LED is still solid green. An amber light indicates that the unit has failed its
power-on self-test (POST).
b.
The Internet LED is lit.
c.
The WiFi LED is lit. The WiFi radio is on by default.
d.
The LAN LED is lit when any local ports are connected.
If a LAN port LED on the back of the unit is lit, a link has been established to the
connected device. If a LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the
port’s LED is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the LED is amber.
e.
The WAN LED is lit when the router is connected to a wired modem.
f.
The Signal Quality LED is lit when the router has detected a mobile broadband
signal.
If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the following table.
LED
Action
Power
Power LED is off.
•
Make sure that the power cord is correctly connected to your router,
and that the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a
functioning power outlet.
•
Check that you are using the power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for
this product.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should
contact technical support.
Power LED is
amber.
A fault exists within the router. Try to clear the fault as follows:
•
Cycle the power to see if the router recovers.
•
Clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This action sets the
router’s IP address to www.routerlogin.net. This procedure is explained
in
Restore the Default Configuration and Password
on page 91.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact
technical support.
