Wireless Router Features

The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefullydesigned to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use.

Internet Access

Features

Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access

the Internet through the Wireless Router, using only a singleexternal IP Address. The local (invalid) IP Addresses are hiddenfrom external sources. This process is called NAT (NetworkAddress Translation).

DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a10/100Base-T Ethernet port for connecting a DSL or CableModem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are supported.SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is alsoincluded.

PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS, and Telstra Big Pond Support. The

Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP overEthernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol), SingTel RASand Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as Direct Connectiontype services.

Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port)connection, the Wireless Router supports both Dynamic IPAddress (IP Address is allocated on connection) and Fixed IPAddress.

Advanced

InternetFunctions

Communication Applications. Support for Internet

communication applications, such as interactive Games,Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are oftendifficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included.

Special Internet Applications. Applications which use non-standard connections or port numbers are normally blocked bythe Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications isprovided, to enable such applications to be used normally.

Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to accessInternet servers on your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.

Multi-DMZ. For each WAN (Internet) IP address allocated to you,one PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted2-way communication with Servers or individual users on theInternet. This provides the ability to run programs which areincompatible with Firewalls.

URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Websites by LAN users.


16/142

Introduction

Internet Access Log. See which Internet connections have beenmade.

Access Cont rol. Using the Access Control feature, you can assignLAN users to different groups, and determine which Internetservices are available to each group.

VPN Pass through Support. PCs with VPN (Virtual PrivateNetworking) software using PPTP, L2TP, and IPSec aretransparently supported - no configuration is required.

Wireless

Features

Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with theIEEE802.11g (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.

Supports both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations. The802.11g standard provides for backward compatibility with the802.11b standard, so both 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless stationscan be used simultaneously.

Speeds to 54 Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported.

WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) isincluded. Key sizes of 64-bit and 128-bit are supported.

Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control featurecan check the MAC address (hardware address) of Wirelessstations to ensure that only trusted Wireless Stations can accessyour LAN.

Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, theycan be changed quickly and easily.

LAN Features 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port10/100Base-T switching hub, making it easy to create or extendyour LAN.

DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocolprovides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices uponrequest. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP Server for deviceson your local LAN and WLAN.

Mult i Segment LAN Support. LANs containing one or moresegments are supported, via the Wireless Router's RIP (RoutingInformation Protocol) support and built-in static routing table.

Configuration

and

Management

Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN orWLAN for configuration.

Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed fromany PC on your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it canalso (optionally) be configured via the Internet.

UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automaticdiscovery and configuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is bysupported by Windows ME, XP, or later.

Security

Features

Password - protected Configuration. Optional passwordprotection is provided to prevent unauthorized users frommodifying the configuration data and settings.

Wireless LAN Security. WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) issupported, as well as Wireless access control to prevent unknownwireless stations from accessing your LAN.

NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network AddressTranslation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to sharea single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PCis hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, onlya single device - the Wireless Router.

Stateful Inspection Firewall. All incoming data packets aremonitored and all incoming server requests are filtered, thusprotecting your network from malicious attacks from externalsources.

Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks canflood your Internet connection with invalid packets andconnection requests, using so much bandwidth and so manyresources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The WirelessRouter incorporates protection against DoS attacks.

The Wireless Router contains an HTTP server. This enables you toconnect to it , and configure it, using your Web Browser. Your Browsermust support JavaScript.

The configuration program has been tested on the following browsers:

Netscape V4.08 or late

Internet Explorer V4 or later

Preparation Before attempting to configure the Wireless Router, please ensure that:

Your PC can establish a physical connection to the WirelessRouter. The PC and the Wireless Router must be directlyconnected (using the Hub ports on the Wireless Router) or on thesame LAN segment.

The Wireless Router must be installed and powered ON.

If the Wireless Router's default IP Address (192.168.1.1) is alreadyused by another device, the other device must be turned OFF untilthe Wireless Router is allocated a new IP Address duringconfiguration.

Using UPnP

If your Windows system supports UPnP, an icon for the Wireless Routerwill appear in the system tray, notifying you that a new network devicehas been found, and offering to create a new desktop shortcut to thenewly-discovered device.

Unless you intend to change the IP Address of the Wireless Router,you can accept the desktop shortcut.

Whether you accept the desktop shortcut or not, you can alwaysfind UPnP devices in My Network Places (previously calledNetwork Neighborhood).

Double - click the icon for the Wireless Router (either on the

Desktop, or in My Network Places) to start the configuration. Referto Setup Wizard on page 32 for details of the initial configurationprocess.

DHCP What DHCP Does

A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP

address to a DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.

The client request is made when the client device starts up(boots).

The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to theclient, as well as allocating an IP Address.

The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP server.

Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windowswill act as a DHCP client . This is the default Windows sett ing for

the TCP/IP network protocol. However, Windows uses the termObtain an IP Address automatically instead of DHCP Client.

You must NOT have two or more DHCP Servers on the same LANsegment. (If your LAN does not have other Routers, this meansthere must only be one (1) DHCP Server on your LAN.)

DHCP Server If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IPAddresses to PCs (DHCP clients) on your LANwhen they start up. The default (andrecommended) value is Enabled.

If you are already using a DHCP Server, this settingmust be Disabled, and the existing DHCP server

must be re-configured to treat the WirelessRouter as the default Gateway. See the followingsection for further details.

The Start IP Address and Finish IP Address fieldsset the values used by the DHCP server whenallocating IP Addresses to DHCP clients. Thisrange also determines the number of DHCPclients supported.

See the following section for further details on usingDHCP.

Using the Wireless Router's DHCP Server

This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LANscreen. On this screen, you can:

Enable or Disable the Wireless Router's DHCP Server function.

Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Serverfunction.

NoteYou can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices while usingDHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses are NOT within therange used by the DHCP Server.

Using another DHCP Server

You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish touse another DHCP Server, rather than the Wireless Router's, thefollowing procedure is required.

1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Router. This settingis on the LAN screen.

2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Router's IPAddress as the Default Gateway.

To Configure your PCs to use DHCP

This is the default sett ing for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME. SeePCConfiguration on page 47 for the procedure to check these settings.

Window s Clients

This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internetaccess via the Wireless Router.

The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.

The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions,so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured oneach PC.

TCP/ IP Settings

Overview

If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default WindowsTCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.

By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server,automatically providing a suitable IP Address (and relatedinformation) to each PC when the PC boots.

For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP sett ingis to act as a DHCP client.

If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes arerequired:

The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the wireless router.

The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.

NoteIf your LAN has a router, the LAN administrator must reconfigure the

router itself.
