DESCRIPTION
Multicast
Select
IGMP V-1
or
IGMP V-2
or
None
. IGMP (Internet Group Multicast
Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a
Multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. IGMP version 2 (RFC 2236)
is an improvement over version 1 (RFC 1112) but IGMP version 1 is still in
wide use. If you would like to read more detailed information about
interoperability between IGMP version 2 and version 1, please see sections 4
and 5 of RFC 2236.
Any IP Setup
Active
Select this if you want to let computers on different subnets use the
NBG334W.
Windows Networking (NetBIOS over TCP/IP): NetBIOS (Network Basic Input/Output System) are TCP
or UDP broadcast packets that enable a computer to connect to and communicate with a LAN. For
some dial-up services such as PPPoE or PPTP, NetBIOS packets cause unwanted calls. However it
may sometimes be necessary to allow NetBIOS packets to pass through to the WAN in order to find a
computer on the WAN.
Allow between LAN
and WAN
Select this check box to forward NetBIOS packets from the LAN to the WAN
and from the WAN to the LAN. If your firewall is enabled with the default policy
set to block WAN to LAN traffic, you also need to enable the default WAN to
LAN firewall rule that forwards NetBIOS traffic.
Clear this check box to block all NetBIOS packets going from the LAN to the
WAN and from the WAN to the LAN.

Guest WLAN
Guest WLAN allows you to set up a wireless network where users can access to Internet via
the NBG334W (
Z
), but not other networks connected to the
Z
. In the following figure, a guest
user can access the Internet from the guest wireless network
A
via
Z
but not the home or
company network
N
.
You can also configure access to be Guest WLAN by using MAC filtering (see
Section 9.2 on
page 118
) and bandwidth management (see
Section 9.4 on page 120
).
"
The home or company network
N
and Guest WLAN network are independent
networks.

This chapter discusses how to configure guest wireless network settings in your NBG334W.

Guest WLAN MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the NBG334W to give exclusive access
(
Allow
) or exclude devices from accessing the NBG334W’s guest wireless network (
Deny
).
Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address
is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example,
00:A0:C5:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of the devices to configure this
screen.
For comparing the NBG334W’s Guest WLAN and wireless LAN, see
Appendix A on page

WLAN
Select the check box to activate guest wireless LAN.
Name(SSID)
The SSID (Service Set IDentity) identifies a wireless station. Wireless stations
associating to the access point (AP) must have the same SSID. Enter a descriptive
name (up to 32 printable 7-bit ASCII characters) for the wireless LAN. Use the
default SSID (
Guest
) or enter a unique name in order to distinguish it from other
wireless networks in the same area.
Hide SSID
Select this check box to hide the SSID in the outgoing beacon frame so a station
cannot obtain the SSID through scanning using a site survey tool.
