3-3 LAN (Wired)
You can setup Wired LAN (Local Area Network) connections of this broadband router in
‘LAN’ menu. This broadband router has 4 LAN ports and they’ll all use the same LAN IP
address settings. Please also note that both wired and wireless LAN uses the same LAN IP
address settings, too.
LAN settings split into 3 sections: LAN IP, DHCP Server, and Static DHCP leases. Please refer
to corresponding sections below for detailed setup instructions.
3-3-1 Before you start: Suggestions for deciding an IP address
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those computers connect to this
router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) or wireless connection can communicate with
each other and access internet, they must have a valid IP address.
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP
address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers
will be assigned by router automatically. It’s recommended for most of computers to use
dynamic IP address, it will save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer,
especially when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and network
devices which will provide services to other computer and users that come from Internet,
static IP address should be used, so other computes can locate the server.
This broadband router has a built-in DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server,
and can help you to assign IP addresses to your client computers. Almost all network
computers / devices manufactured after year 1995 are compatible with DHCP, and you can
let this broadband router to assign the IP address to client computers / devices for you.
66
Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your network, here are
some suggestions.
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and company users, its
suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an
integer between 1 and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients, so
you can set d field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or any number between 1
and 254), and pick a number between 0 and 254 for field c.
2. In most cases, you should use 255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask, which allows up to
253 clients (this also meets routers capability of working with up to 253 clients).
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide services to other people
(like Internet service, print service, and file service), they should use static IP
address. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a
list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.
4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific service to others, they
should use dynamic IP address.
If you dont really understand the descriptions listed above, dont worry! We will
provide recommended setup values below.
67

problem. However, it’s still useful to remember
the channel number you use, some wireless
client supports manual channel number select,
and this would help in certain scenario when
there is some radio communication problem.
Associated Clients
Click ‘Show Active Clients’ button to show
the list of all connected wireless clients. You
can click ‘Refresh’ in new window to get

wireless client list window.
TIPS: You can try to change channel number to another one if you think the data transfer
rate is too slow, or keep having problem while transferring the file over wireless network.
There could be some other broadband routers using the same channel, which will
disturb the radio communication between wireless client and the broadband router.

3-5 Advance Settings
This router provides various network functionalities like QoS and DDNS, and you can
configure these functions in ‘Advanced Settings’ menu.
100
3-5-1 QoS
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the
internet bandwidth with a promised quality of internet service. Without QoS, all computers
and devices on the network will compete with each other to get internet bandwidth, and
some applications which require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network
telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like the interruption
of video / audio transfer.
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed bandwidth
for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing result from happening.

3-5-2 DDNS
DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is a IP-to-Hostname mapping service for those Internet users who
don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem when such user wants to provide
services to other users on Internet, because their IP address will vary every time when
connected to Internet, and other user will not be able to know the IP address they’re using
at a certain time.
This router supports DDNS service of following service providers:
3322 (http://www.3322.org/)
DHS (http://www.dhs.org)
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org/)
ODS (http://ods.org)

3-5-5 Fail Over
WAN failure detection works by detecting the presence of traffic on the 3G modem link. If
the link is idle for too long, the router will attempt to ping a target IP address. If the ping
does not reply, the router assumes the link is down and attempts to fail over to the
Ethernet WAN link.

3-6 NAT
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP address to multiple
computers. Without NAT, all computers must be assigned with a valid Internet IP address to
get connected to Internet, but Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses
to every user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single Internet IP
address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone can get connected to
Internet.
This broadband router supports four types of NAT functions, and the instructions of these
functions will be given below.
113
3-6-1 Virtual Server
This function allows you to redirect a port on Internet IP address (on WAN port) to a
specified port of an IP address on local network, so you can setup an Internet service on the
computer on local network, without exposing it on Internet directly. You can also build
many sets of port redirection, to provide many different Internet services on different local
computers via a single Internet IP address.

3-7-3 DoS
Denial of Service (DoS) is a common attack measure, by transmitting a great amount of data
or request to your Internet IP address and server, the Internet connection will become very
slow, and server may stop responding because it is not capable to handle too much traffics.
This router has a built-in DoS attack prevention mechanism; when you activate it, the
router will stop the DoS attack for you:
Here lists four kinds of DoS attacks, please select the type of DoS attack you wish this
broadband router to protect, and you can select multiple types of attacks.
The descriptions of every DoS attack is listed below:
Item Name
Description
Ping of Death
Ping of Death is a special packet, and it will
cause certain computer to stop responding.
Check this box and the router will filter this
kind of packet out.
Discard Ping From
WAN
Ping is a common and useful tool to know
the connection status of a specified remote
network device, but some malicious intruder
will try to fill your network bandwidth with a
lot of PING request data packet, to make your
internet connection become very slow, even
unusable. Check this box and the router will
ignore all inbound PING request, but when you
activate this function, you will not be able to
ping your own router from internet, too.
Port Scan
Some malicious intruder will try to use a ‘port
scanner’ to know how many ports of your
Internet IP address are open, and they can
collect a lot of valuable information by doing
131
so. Check this box and the router will block all
traffics which are trying to scan your Internet
IP address.
Sync Flood
This is another kind of attack, which uses a lot
of fake connection request to consume the
memory of your server, and try to make your
server become unusable. Check this box and
the router will filter this kind of traffic out.
If you need to specify the details of every DoS attack, please click ‘Advanced Settings’
button, and the following settings will appear:
The descriptions of every setup item are listed below:
Item Name

Ping of Death
Set the threshold of when this DoS prevention
mechanism will be activated. Please check the

of threshold (how many packets per second,
minute, or hour), you can also input the ‘Burst’
value, which means when this number of ‘Ping
of Death’ packet is received in very short time,
this DoS prevention mechanism will be
activated.
Discard Ping From
WAN
Check the box to activate this DoS prevention
mechanism.
Port Scan
Many kind of port scan methods are listed
here, please check one or more DoS attack
methods you want to prevent.
