System Up Time
The time elapsed since the router was last restarted.
Port
The statistics for the WAN (Internet) and LAN (Ethernet) ports. For each port, the
screen displays the following:

The link status of the port.
TxPkts
The number of packets transmitted on this port since reset.
RxPkts
The number of packets received on this port since reset.
Collisions
The number of collisions on this port since reset.
Tx B/s
The current transmission (outbound) bandwidth used on the WAN and LAN ports
(the average bytes per second transmitted since reset). Tx B/s is the total bytes
transmitted divided by the system up time (in seconds).
Rx B/s
The current reception (inbound) bandwidth used on the WAN and LAN ports (the
average bytes per second received since reset). Rx B/s is the total bytes received

Viewing a List of Attached Devices
The Attached Devices screen contains a table of all IP devices that the router has discovered on the
local network. From the main menu of the browser interface, under Maintenance, select
Attached
Devices
to view the table.
For each device, the table shows the IP address, NetBIOS host name or device name (if available),
and the Ethernet MAC address. To force the router to look for attached devices, click
Refresh
.
Managing the Configuration File
The configuration settings of the WNR3500v2 router are stored within the router in a
configuration file. You can back up (save) this file to your computer, restore it, or reset it to the
factory default settings.
Figure 4-7
Note:
If the router is rebooted, the table data is lost until the router rediscovers the
devices.

From the main menu of the browser interface, under Maintenance, select
Backup Settings
.
The following sections describe the three available options.
Backing Up and Restoring the Configuration
The Restore and Backup options in the Settings Backup screen let you save and retrieve a file
containing your router’s configuration settings.
To save your settings, click
Back Up
. Your browser extracts the configuration file from the router
and prompts you for a location on your computer to store the file. You can give the file a
meaningful name at this time, such as comcast.cfg.
To restore your settings from a saved configuration file, enter the full path to the file on your
computer, or click
Browse
to browse to the file. When you have located it, click
Restore
to send
the file to the router. The router then reboots automatically.
Figure 4-8
Tip:
Before saving your configuration file, change the administrator password to the
default,
password
. Then change it again after you have saved the configuration file.
If you forget the password, you will need to reset the configuration to factory
defaults.
Warning:
Do not interrupt the reboot process.

Erasing the Configuration
Under some circumstances (for example, if you move the router to a different network or if you
have forgotten the password) you might want to erase the configuration and restore the factory
default settings. After an erase, the router’s username is
admin
, the password is
password
, the
LAN IP address is
192.168.1.1
(or
www.routerlogin.net
), and the router’s DHCP server is
enabled.
To erase the configuration, click the
Erase
button in the Settings Backup screen.
To restore the factory default configuration settings when you do not know the login password or
IP address, you must use the restore factory settings button on the rear panel of the router (see
“Restoring the Default Configuration and Password” on page 7-14
).
Enabling Remote Management Access
Using the Remote Management feature, you can allow a user on the Internet to configure, upgrade,
and check the status of your WNR3500v2 router. From the main menu of the browser interface,
under Advanced, select
Remote Management
.

To configure your router for remote management:
1.
Select the
Turn Remote Management On
check box.
2.
Under Allow Remote Access By, specify what external IP addresses will be allowed to access
the router’s remote management.
•
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select
Everyone
.
•
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.
•
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select
Only This Computer
.
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.
3.
Specify the port number for accessing the management interface.
Normal Web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security,
enter a custom port number for the remote management Web interface. 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.
4.
Click
Apply
to have your changes take effect.
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 uppercase and lowercase),
numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.
Note:
For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses
as practical.
Note:
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, then enter
in your browser.
