NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual Configuring LAN TCP/IP Setup Parameters These are advanced settings that you might configure if you are a network administrator and your network contains multiple routers. The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP server (see “Using the Router as a DHCP Server” on page 4-4). Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual Using the Router as a DHCP Server By default, the router functions as a DHCP server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual Using Address Reservation When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings. Figure 4-2 To reserve an IP address: 1. Click Add. 2. In the IP Address field, enter the IP address to assign to the computer or server.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual Using a Dynamic DNS Service If your Internet Service Provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you do not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual To configure for a Dynamic DNS service: 1. Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the Service Provider list. For example, for DynDNS.org, select www.dynDNS.org. 2. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box. 3. Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider. 4.

Figure 4-4 Disabling the SPI Firewall The Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) firewall protects your network and computers against attacks and intrusions.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual them, but there are other applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server. Warning: DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to exploits from the Internet.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual Configuring NAT Filtering Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall, but allows almost all Internet applications to function.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual • The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. • A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN. • Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated. To add or edit a static route: 1. Select Static Routes under Advanced in the main menu. The Static Routes screen displays. Figure 4-5 2.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual 6. In the Destination IP Address field, enter the IP address of the final destination. 7.

NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual To configure a WNR2000 router as a repeater unit: 1. If you are using the same model of wireless router for both the base station and repeaters, you must change the LAN IP address for each repeater to a different IP address in the same subnet (see “Using the LAN IP Setup Options” on page 4-1). Note: Failing to change the LAN IP address will cause an IP address conflict in the network because the factory default LAN IP is the same for both units. 2.
Chapter 5 Fine-Tuning Your Network This chapter describes how to modify the configuration of the Wireless-N Router Model WNR2000 to allow specific applications to access the Internet or to be accessed from the Internet, and how to make adjustments to enhance your network’s performance.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual How Your Computer Accesses a Remote Computer through Your Router When a computer on your network needs to access a computer on the Internet, your computer sends your router a message containing source and destination address and process information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer, your router must modify the source information and must create and track the communication session so that replies can be routed back to your computer.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual 4. The Web server at www.example.com composes a return message with the requested Web page data. The return message contains the following address and port information: • The source address is the IP address of www.example.com. • The source port number is 80, the standard port number for a Web server process. • The destination address is the public IP address of your router. • The destination port number is 33333.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” Using steps similar to the preceding example, the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you have defined: 1. You open an IRC client program, beginning a chat session on your computer. 2.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual How Port Forwarding Changes the Communication Process In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering: • Port triggering can be used by any computer on your network, although only one computer can use it at a time. • Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network. • Port triggering does not need to know the computer’s IP address in advance. The IP address is captured automatically.
NETGEAR Wireless-N Router User Manual To configure port forwarding to a local server: 1. Select Port Forwarding/Port Triggering under Advanced in the main menu.
