RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router Model WNR854T Reference Manual
Advanced Configuration of the Router
5-15
v1.0, 2006-04
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 RangeMax NEXT 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.

UPnP Portmap Table.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device
that is currently accessing the router and which ports (Internal and External) that device has
opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is
still active for each IP address.

Troubleshooting
This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your RangeMax NEXT Wireless Router
Gigabit Edition Model WNR854T. After each problem description, instructions are provided to
help you diagnose and solve the problem.
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 light
is on.
2.
After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:
a.
The power light is solid green.
b.
The LAN port lights are lit for any local ports that are connected.
c.
The Internet port light is lit.
If a port’s light 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 light is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the
light will be amber.
If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section.
Power Light Not On
If the Power and other lights are off when your router is turned on:
•
Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply
adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet.
•
Check that you are using the 5 V DC 1A power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this
product.
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support.
