My Mail Server requires
authentication
check box.
a.
Enter your user name for the e-mail server in the
User Name
field.
b.
Enter your password for the e-mail server in the
Password

4.
You can specify that logs are automatically sent by e-mail with these options:
Send alert immediately
. Select this check box for immediate notification of attempted
access to a blocked site or service.
Send Logs According to this Schedule
. Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly,
Daily, Weekly, or When Full.
Day
. Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent
weekly or daily.
Time
. Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or
weekly.
If you select the Weekly, Daily, or Hourly option and the log fills up before the specified
period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent,
the log is cleared from the router’s memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log
buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
5.
Click
Apply
to save your settings.
So that the log entries are correctly time-stamped and sent at the correct time, be sure to set the
time as described in the next section.
Setting the Time Zone
The WNR1000v2 router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time and
date from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Localize the time zone so that your
log entries and other router functions include the correct time stamp.
To verify and set the time zone (see
Figure 3-6 on page 3-7
):
Time Zone
. To select your local time zone, use the drop-down list. This setting is used for the
blocking schedule and for time-stamping log entries.
Automatically Adjust for Daylight Savings Time
. If your region supports daylight savings
time, select this check box . The router will automatically adjust the time at the start and end of
the daylight savings time period.

Chapter 4
Customizing Your Network Settings
This chapter describes how to configure advanced networking features of the
Wireless-N 150 Router Model WNR1000v2 , including LAN, WAN, and routing settings.
It contains the following sections:
“Using the LAN IP Setup Options
“Using a Dynamic DNS Service” on page 4-5
“Configuring the WAN Setup Options” on page 4-6
“Configuring Static Routes” on page 4-8
Using the LAN IP Setup Options
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).
To configure LAN IP settings, select
LAN Setup
under Advanced in the main menu. The LAN
Setup screen displays.

Configuring a Device Name
The device name is a user-friendly name for the router. This name is shown in the Network on
Windows Vista and the Network Explorer on all Windows systems. The
Device Name
field
cannot be blank. The default name is WNR1000v2.
Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup Parameters
These are advanced settings that you might configure if you are a network administrator and your
network contains multiple routers. The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses
on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server (see
“Using the Router as a DHCP Server” on
page 4-3
).
The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:
LAN IP address.
192.168.1.1
Subnet mask.
255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and
should be suitable for most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP
addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this screen.
The LAN IP settings are:
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.
RIP Direction
. RIP allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The
RIP Direction selection controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets.
Both
is the
default.
When set to
Both
or
In Only
, the router incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
When set to
Both
or
Out Only
, the router broadcasts its routing table periodically.
RIP Version
. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets sent by
the router. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) The default setting is
Disabled
.
Note:
If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the
browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the
new IP address and log in again.

RIP-1
is universally supported. RIP-1 is usually adequate unless you have an unusual
network setup.
RIP-2B
carries more information than RIP-1 and uses subnet broadcasting.
RIP-2M
carries more information than RIP-1 and uses multicasting.
Using the Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the router functions as a 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. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers
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.
To specify a pool of IP addresses to be assigned, set the starting IP address and ending IP address.
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
192.168.1.2
and
192.168.1.254
, although you might wish to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
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 (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)
To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to manually specify the network
settings of all of your computers, clear the
Use Router as DHCP Server
check box. Otherwise,
leave it selected. If this service is not selected and no other DHCP server is available on your
network, you need to set your computers’ IP addresses manually or they will not be able to access
the router.
Note:
For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are
satisfactory. Click the link to the online document
“TCP/IP Networking Basics” in
Appendix B
for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP
addresses for your network.
