Rate
For the LAN ports, this displays the port speed and duplex setting or is left blank when the
line is disconnected.
For the 2.4GHz/5GHz WLAN, it displays the maximum transmission rate when the 2.4GHz/

DESCRIPTION
IP Address
Obtain an IP Address
Automatically
When you enable this, the NBG6817 gets its IP address from the network’s DHCP
server (for example, your ISP). Users connected to the NBG6817 can now access
the network (i.e., the Internet if the IP address is given by the ISP).
The Web Configurator may no longer be accessible unless you know the IP address
assigned by the DHCP server to the NBG6817. You need to reset the NBG6817 to
be able to access the Web Configurator again (see
Section 15.7 on page 152
for
details on how to reset the NBG6817).
Also when you select this, you cannot enter an IP address for your NBG6817 in the
field below.
Static IP Address
Click this if you want to specify the IP address of your NBG6817. Or if your ISP or
network administrator gave you a static IP address to access the network or the
Internet.
IP Address
Type the IP address in dotted decimal notation. The default setting is 192.168.1.2.
If you change the IP address you will have to log in again with the new IP address.
Subnet Mask
The subnet mask specifies the network number portion of an IP address. Your
NBG6817 will automatically calculate the subnet mask based on the IP address that
you assign. Unless you are implementing subnetting, use the subnet mask
computed by the NBG6817.
Gateway IP Address
Enter a
Gateway IP Address
(if your ISP or network administrator gave you one)
in this field.
DNS Server
First DNS Server
Second DNS Server
Third DNS Server
Select
Obtained From ISP
if your ISP dynamically assigns DNS server information
(and the NBG6817's WAN IP address). The field to the right displays the (read-
only) DNS server IP address that the ISP assigns.
Select
User-Defined
if you have the IP address of a DNS server. Enter the DNS
server's IP address in the field to the right. If you chose
User-Defined
, but leave
the IP address set to 0.0.0.0,
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
. If you set a second choice to
User-Defined
, and enter the same IP
address, the second
User-Defined
changes to
None
after you click
Apply
.
Select
None
if you do not want to configure DNS servers. If you do not configure a
DNS server, you must know the IP address of a computer in order to access it.

Overview
This chapter provides tutorials for setting up your NBG6817.
•
Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
•
Connect to NBG6817 Wireless Network without WPS
•
Using Guest SSIDs on the NBG6817

Set Up a Wireless Network Using WPS
This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses
the NBG6817 as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook.
Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter
).
There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection via the web configurator or utility.
This tutorial shows you how to do both.
•
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
- create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a
button. See
Section 8.2.1 on page 49
. This is the easier method.
•
PIN Configuration
- create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN
(Personal Identification Number) in the NBG6817’s interface. See
Section 8.2.2 on page 50
. This
is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other.
8.2.1
Push Button Configuration (PBC)
1
Make sure that your NBG6817 is turned on. Make sure the
WIFI
button (at the back panel of the
NBG6817) is pushed in, and that the device is placed within range of your notebook.
2
Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and
utility in your notebook.
3
In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (
Start
or
WPS
button)
4
Log into NBG6817’s Web Configurator and press the
Push Button
in the
Expert > Wireless >
WPS
screen.

Note: Your NBG6817 has a WPS button located on its rear panel, as well as a WPS button
in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can
use one or the other.
Note: It doesn’t matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button
within two minutes of pressing the first one.
The NBG6817 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to
two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the NBG6817 securely.
The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a
button on both NBG6817 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

PIN Configuration
When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both NBG6817’s configuration
interface and the client’s utilities.
1
Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method
to get a PIN number.
2
Enter the PIN number to the
PIN
field in the
Expert > Wireless > WPS
screen on the NBG6817.
