Miscellaneous

To change broadband Internet connection settings, use the Broadband Settings screen, as

described in

Basic Setup: Configure Your Internet Settings

on page 18.



To view or change the WAN setup:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > Miscellaneous

Specify the following settings:

•

Disable Port Scans and DoS Protections

. This check box is cleared so that the

firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service attacks. This check

box should be selected only in special circumstances.

•

Default DMZ Server

. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are using some

online games and videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it

makes the firewall security less effective. See

Set Up a Default DMZ Server

on

page 73.

•

Respond to Ping on Internet

. If you want the router to respond to a ping from the

Internet, select this check box. This feature should be used only as a diagnostic tool,

since it allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this check box unless you

have a specific reason to do so.

•

MTU Size

. Maximum transmit unit (MTU) value. For most Ethernet networks, this

setting is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections, or 1436 bytes for PPTP

connections.

•

NAT Filtering

. This parameter is set to

Secured

to provide a secure firewall to protect

computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet. The Open setting is less

secure.

•

Disable SIP ALG

. Some VoIP applications do not work well with SIP ALG. Selecting

this check box might help your VoIP devices create or accept a call through the router.

Set Up a Default DMZ Server

WARNING:

For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ

server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ

server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall and is

exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the

computer can be used to attack your network.

The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and

videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to

recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications

might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if

that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.

Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a

response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port

Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it

forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.



To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > Miscellaneous

.

3.

Select the

Default DMZ Server

check box.

4.

Type the IP address for that server.

LAN Setup

The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP.

These features can be found under Advanced in the router main menu.

The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act

as a DHCP server. The router’s default LAN IP configuration is:

•

LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1

•

Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0

These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)–designated private

address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your

network requires a different IP addressing scheme, you can make the changes in this screen.

Tip:

If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through

the browser, you are disconnected, and so are others who are connected

to the router. To connect to the router, you must open a new connection

to the new IP address and log in again. Others using the router must

restart their computers to connect to the router again.



To view or change the LAN setup:

1.

Log in to the router as described in

Log In to Your Router

on page 17.

2.

From the main menu, select

Advanced > LAN Setup

.

Note:

The default DHCP and TCP/IP values work for most users.

3.

Specify the following settings:

•

Device Name

. This value is the name of the router.

•

LAN TCP/IP Setup

.

-

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 (Routing Information Protocol, RFC1058 and RFC1389)

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 Out Only, the router broadcasts its routing table

periodically.

•

When set to Both or In Only, it incorporates the RIP information that it

receives.

-

RIP Version

. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the

RIP packets that the router sends. (It recognizes both formats when receiving.) By

default, Disabled is selected.

•

RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks,

unless you have an unusual network setup.

•

RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing

data in RIP-2 format.

-

RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting.

-

RIP-2M uses multicasting.

•

DHCP Server

. For more information, see

DHCP Settings

on page 76.

-

Use Router as a DHCP Server

. This check box is selected so that the router

functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. See

DHCP

Settings

on page 76.

-

Starting IP Address

. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in

the same subnet as the router.

-

Ending IP Address

. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in

the same subnet as the router.

•

Disable NAT/NAPT

. Disable network address and port translation.

•

Address Reservation

. For more information, see

Reserved IP Addresses

on

page 76.

When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer

receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign

reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings.
