Special Applications
Access > Special AP
Special applications (also called port triggering) is typically used for online gaming
applications or communication applications that require a range of ports or several
ports to be dynamically opened on request to a device on your network. The router will
wait for a request on a specific port or range of ports (or trigger port/port range) from a
device on your network and once a request is detected by your router, the router will
forward a single port or multiple ports (or incoming port/port range) to the device on
your network. This feature is not typically used as most devices and routers currently
use UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) to automatically configure your router to allow
access for applications. See “Enable/disable UPnP on your router” on
page 33
.
Note:
Please refer to the device documentation to determine if your device supports
UPnP first, before configuring this feature.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on
page 27
).
2. Click on
Access
, and click on
Special AP
.
To simplify configuration, there is a list of commonly used pre-defined special
application entries to modify, otherwise, you can choose to manually add a new special
application.
3. Review the special application settings.
Enabled
– Selecting
Enabled
turns on the special application and selecting
Disabled
turns it off.
Name
– Enter a name for the special application.
Trigger
– Port or port range requested by the device.
o
Protocol
– Select the protocol requested by the device.
TCP, UDP
, or you
can select
Both
to choose both TCP and
UDP.
o
Port Range
– Enter the ports or port range requested by the device.
(e.g.
554-554 or 6112-6112).
Note:
Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and protocols
are required.
Incoming
– Port(s) forwarded to the device.
o
Protocol
– Select the protocol to be forwarded to the device.
TCP,
UDP
, or you can select
Both
to choose both TCP and
UDP.
o
Port Range
– Enter the ports or port range to be forwarded to the
device.
(e.g.
2000-2038,2069,2081,2200-2210).
Note:
Please refer to the device documentation to determine which ports and
protocols are required.

Add static routes to your router
Routing > Static
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your network to
other local networks through other routers. Generally, different networks can be
determined by the IP addressing assigned to those networks. Generally speaking and for
the case of an example, your network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another
network may have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to communicate
between the two separate networks, static routing needs to be configured. Below is an
example diagram where routing is needed for devices and computers on your network
to access the other network.
Note:
Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking
knowledge.

.
3. Review the static route settings.
Network Address
– Enter the IP network address of the destination network
for the route.
(e.g.
192.168.20.0
)
Network Mask
– Enter the subnet mask of the destination network for the
route.
(e.g.
255.255.255.0

– Enter the gateway to the destination network for the
route.
(e.g.
192.168.10.2
)
Interface
– Click the drop-down list and select the Interface on your router
where the route is active.
(e.g.
LAN
)
Metric
– Enter the metric or priority of the route. The metric range is
1-15
, the
lowest number
1
being the highest priority. (e.g.
1
)
Add
– Saves the static route.
To modify an existing reservation, click on the entry in the static route list. When
selected, the entry will be highlighted.
Update
– Saves changes to an existing static route.
Delete

Enable dynamic routing on your router
Routing > Dynamic
You may want to setup your router to route computers or devices on your network to
other local networks through other routers. If other routers support dynamic routing
such as RIP (Routing Information Protocol), you can enable this feature on your router
to automatically learn the required routes to reach those networks. It is required that
the same dynamic routing protocol and version is also enabled on the other routers in
order your router and the other routers to exchange information about the network.
Note:
Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general networking
knowledge.
1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”
on
page 27
).
2. Click on
Routing
, and click on
Dynamic
.
3. Select the appropriate dynamic routing protocol and version communicate with other
routers.
Transmit
– Allows your router to send out network information to other
routers so other routers can dynamically build routes to your network.
o
Disabled
– Disable sending routing information from your router to
other routers.
o
RIP 1
- Sends out routing information to other routers
using the RIP
version 1 protocol.
o
RIP 2
– Sends out routing information to other routers using the RIP
version 2 protocol (recommended if supported by both devices).
Receive
- Allows your router to receive network information from other router
so your router can build routes to other networks.
o
Disabled
– Disable receiving routing information from other routers to
your router.
o
RIP 1
- Receive routing information from other routers using the RIP
version 1 protocol.
o
RIP 2
– Receive routing information from other routers using the RIP
version 2 protocol.

router to defaults, if possible, you should backup your router configuration first, see
“Backup and restore your router configuration settings” on
page 43
.
There are two methods that can be used to reset your router to factory defaults.
Reset Button
– Located on the rear panel of your router, see “Product
