IPv6 Settings

Advanced > Setup > IPv6

IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6) is a new protocol that significantly increases the

number of available Internet public IP addresses due to the 128-bit IP address structure

versus IPv4 32-bit address structure. In addition, there are several integrated

enhancements compared to the most commonly used and well known IPv4 (Internet

Protocol Version 4) such as:



Integrated IPsec

–

Better Security



Integrated Quality of Service (QoS)

–

Lower latency for real-time applications



Higher Efficiency of Routing

–

Less transmission overhead and smaller routing

tables



Easier configuration of addressing

Note:

In order to use IPv6 Internet connection settings, it is required that your ISP

provide you with the IPv6 service. Please contact your ISP for availability and more

information about the IPv6 service.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

2. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

3. Review the IPv6 Internet Connection settings and enter information settings specified

by your ISP. Click

Apply

to save changes.

Clone a MAC address

Advanced > Setup > WAN

On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control)

address. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a

computer) connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is already

registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and registration process of a

new MAC address with your ISP, then you can clone the address (assign the registered

MAC address of your previous device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC

address from the previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the

modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or computer and

manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC address feature.

Note:

For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically, typically, the

stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you restart the modem. If you are

installing this router for the first time, turn your modem before connecting the router to

your modem. To clear your modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to

disconnect power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect the

power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s User Guide/Manual or

contact your ISP.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

2. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

, then click on

WAN

3. Next to

MAC Address

field, enter the MAC address of your computer.

Note:

You can also check the Advanced > Administrator > Client Status for the MAC

addresses of the devices on your network, see

page 56

or refer to your computer or

device documentation to find the MAC address.

Change your router IP address

Advanced > Setup > LAN

In most cases, you do not need to change your router IP address settings. Typically, the

router IP address settings only needs to be changed, if you plan to use another router in

your network with the same IP address settings, if you are connecting your router to an

existing network that is already using the IP address settings your router is using, or if

you are experiencing problems establishing VPN connections to your office network

through your router.

Note:

If you are not encountering any issues or are not faced with one of the cases

described above or similar, it is recommended to keep your router IP address settings as

default.

Default Router IP Address: 192.168.10.1

Default Router Network: 192.168.10.0 / 255.255.255.0

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

2. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

, then click on

LAN

3. In

LAN Interface Setting

section, Enter the router IP address settings.



IP Address:

Enter the new router IP address. (e.g.

192.168.200.1

)



Subnet Mask:

Enter the new router subnet mask.

(e.g.

255.255.255.0

)

Note:

The DHCP address range will change automatically to your new router IP

address settings so you do not have to change the DHCP address range manually

to match your new router IP address settings.

4. To save changes, click

Apply

Note:

You will need to access your router management page using your new router IP

address. (e.g. Instead of using the default

http://192.168.10.1

your new router IP

address will use the following format using your new IP address

http://(new.ipaddress.here) to access your router management page. You can also use

the default login URL

Set up the DHCP server on your router

Advanced > Setup > LAN

Your router can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server to

automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device on your network. The

DHCP server is enabled by default on your router. If you already have a DHCP server on

your network, or if you do not want to use your router as a DHCP server, you can disable

this setting. It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

2. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

, then click on

LAN

3. Review the DHCP Server settings. Click

Apply

to save settings.



DHCP Server:

Enable or Disable the DHCP server.



DHCP Start IP:

Changes the starting address for the DHCP server range.

(

e.g.

192.168.10.20)



DHCP End IP:

Changes the ending address for the DHCP server range.

(

e.g.

192.168.10.30)

Note:

The Start IP and End IP specify the range of IP addresses to automatically

assign to computers or devices on your network.



DHCP Lease Time

–

Enter the DHCP lease time in minutes.

Note:

The DHCP lease time is the amount of time a computer or device can keep

an IP address assigned by the DHCP server. When the lease time expires, the

computer or device will renew the IP address lease with the DHCP server,

otherwise, if there is no attempt to renew the lease, the DHCP server will

reallocate the IP address to be assigned to another computer or device.

You can also view the current DHCP clients/connected devices in the Number of

Dynamic DHCP Clients

list under

Advanced > Administrator > Client Status.

Set up DHCP reservation

Advanced > Setup > LAN

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) reservation (also called Static DHCP) allows

your router to assign a fixed IP address from the DHCP server IP address range to a

specific device on your network. Assigning a fixed IP address can allow you to easily

keep track of the IP addresses used on your network by your computers or devices for

future reference or configuration such as virtual server (also called port forwarding, see

“

Virtual Server

” on

page 39) or special applications (also called port triggering, see

“

Special Applications

” on

page 41).

1. Log into your router management page (see “

Access your router management page

”

on page 9).

2. Click on

Advanced

and click on

Setup

, then click on

LAN

3. Review the DHCP reservation settings.



Hostname:

Enter a name of the device you will assign the DHCP reservation rule.



MAC Address:

Enter the MAC (Media Access Control) address of the computer or

network device to assign to the reservation. (e.g.

00:11:22:AA:BB:CC)



IP Address:

Enter the IP address to assign to the reservation. (e.g.

192.168.10.101)



Enable:

Check the

Enabled

option to enable the reservation.

After you have entered in the required information, click

Add

to add the DHCP

Reservations entry to the list.

You will see the new reservation added to the DHCP Reservations List. This is a

temporary list until you save changes by clicking

Apply

. You can continue to add more

DHCP reservation entries which will appear in this list. Once you have saved the settings,

the entries will appear under the DHCP Reservations list.

Under the DHCP Reservations List,

You can click the

Edit

to modify the reservation or click

Remove

option next to the entry

to delete the reservation.
