2. Wireless Network Configuration 2 For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless security setting must be the same for the router and wireless computers or wireless adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless security. Note: Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred feet. If you do not use wireless security, this can allow others outside of your immediate area to access your network.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Wireless Placement and Range Guidelines The range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the router. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption of wireless adapters also vary depending on your configuration choices. For best results, place your router according to the following guidelines: • Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network: Figure 4 Wireless Security • Restrict Access Based on MAC Address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the router. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 To view or manually configure the wireless settings: 1. Log in to the router as described in “Logging In to Your Router” on page 10. 2. Select Wireless Settings from the main menu: The settings for this screen are explained in Table 3. 3. Select the region in which the router will operate. 4. For initial configuration and test, leave the other settings unchanged. 5. To save your changes, click Apply. 6.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Table 3. Wireless Settings (Continued) Settings Description Security Options None You can use this setting to establish wireless connectivity before implementing wireless security. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you implement wireless security. WEP Use encryption keys and data encryption for data security. You can select 64-bit or 128-bit encryption. See Configuring WEP. WPA-PSK (TKIP) Allow only computers configured with WPA to connect to the router.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 4. Select the Authentication Type: Automatic, Open System, or Shared Key. The default is Open System. Note: The authentication is separate from the data encryption. You can select authentication that requires a shared key, but still leaves data transmissions unencrypted. Security is stronger if you use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption settings. 5. Select the Encryption Strength setting: • WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) 64-bit encryption.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Note: If you use a wireless computer to configure wireless security settings, you will be disconnected when you click Apply. If this happens, reconfigure your wireless computer to match the new settings, or access the router from a wired computer to make further changes. To configure WPA or WPA2 in the router: 1. Log in to the router as described in “Logging In to Your Router” on page 10. 2. Select Wireless Settings from the main menu. 3.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 You can connect to the network using WPS either with a push button or a PIN. • Push Button. This is the preferred method. See the following section, WPS Button. • Entering a PIN. See “WPS PIN Entry” on page 24. WPS Button Any wireless computer or wireless adapter that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The client must support a WPS button, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Note: If no WPS-capable client devices are located during the 2-minute time frame, the SSID will not be changed, and no security will be implemented on the router. WPS PIN Entry Any wireless computer or device that will connect to the router wirelessly is a client. The client must support a WPS PIN, and must have a WPS configuration utility, such as the NETGEAR Smart Wizard or Atheros Jumpstart.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 implemented on the router. Adding Wireless Computers that Do Not Support WPS If you set up your network with WPS, and now you want to add a computer that does not support WPS, you must manually configure that computer. To view the wireless settings for the router, see “Manually Configuring Your Wireless Settings” on page 18.

Tip: If the computer is on your network, it is listed on the same page for your convenience.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Configuring Dynamic DNS WARNING! If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service will not work because private addresses will not be routed on the Internet. 1. From the main menu, select Dynamic DNS to display the Dynamic DNS screen: 2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Static Route Example As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case: • Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. • You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100. • Your company’s network is 134.177.0.0. When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 2. Click Add or Edit to display the following screen: 3. Fill in or change the fields: • Route Name. The route name is for identification purposes only. • Private. Select this check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. • Active.

Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router. • Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the router advertises (broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is for 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 On the main menu, below the Advanced heading, select Wireless Repeating Function to display the following screen: Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration In Point-to-Point Bridge mode, the router communicates as an access point with another bridge-mode wireless station. The following figure shows an example of Point-to-Point Bridge mode. Both APs (access points) are in Point-to-Point Bridge mode.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode. The MBR1000 router must have AP 2’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, and AP 2 must have the MBR1000’s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field. 3. Configure and verify the following for both access points: Both access points must use the same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use. 4.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 To set up the multi-point bridge configuration: 1. Configure the operating mode of the routers. • Because it is in a central location, configure the MBR1000 router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in Point-to-Multi-Point Bridge mode and enter the MAC addresses of AP 2 and AP 3 in the Remote MAC Address 1 and Remote MAC Address 2 fields. • Configure the access point (AP2) on LAN Segment 2 in Point-to-Point Bridge mode with the remote MAC address of the MBR1000 router.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 • You cannot configure a sequence of parent/child access points. You are limited to only one parent access point, although if the MBR1000 router is the parent access point, it can connect with up to four child access points. The following figure shows an example of a Repeater Mode configuration. MBRN3000 Router is AP 1 (parent in AP Repeater mode) Wireless PC associated with AP2 Wireless PC associated with AP 1 AP 1 192.168.0.
Mobile Broadband 11n Wireless Router MBR1000 Traffic Meter Traffic Metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic passing through your router’s Internet port.
