In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the wireless repeater AP. To configure the router as a repeater unit: 1.
N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010 Remote Computer Access Basics When a computer on your network needs to access a computer on the Internet, your computer sends your router a message containing the source and destination address and process information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer, your router must modify the source information and create and track the communication session so that replies can be routed back to your computer.
N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010 router then modifies the message to restore the original address information replaced by NAT. Your router sends this reply message to your computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com. The message now contains the following address and port information: • Source address. The IP address of www.example.com. • Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process. • Destination address. Your computer’s IP address.
N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010 6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your router checks its session table to determine whether there is an active session for port number 33333. Finding an active session, the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply message to your computer. 7.
N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010 2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your router modifies the destination information in the request message. The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123. Your router then sends this request message to your local network. 3.
N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010 Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet. Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network.
N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010 Add a Custom Service To define a service, game, or application that does not appear in the Service Name list, first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses. You can usually get this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or newsgroups. To add a custom service: 1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. 2. Select Port Forwarding as the service type. 3.
