Chapter 1 Introduction The Planet WNRT-610 is a wireless Pre-N router that supports high-speed wireless networking for home or SOHO users. The WNRT-610 provides data rate up to 300 Mbps when used with other wireless Pre-N Planet products, like USB adapter WNL-U550 and PCI WNL-9310. The Pre-N standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b and 802.11g products. There is no need to change existing network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g’s performance when using 802.11b and 802.

3.5 Status This screen enables you to view the router LAN, wireless LAN, and WAN configuration. Connection Details : Click this button to open a sub-window and view a detailed description of the current connection. Depending on the type of connection, a "log" may also be available. 3.6 Advanced Features 3.6.1 Internet Type a host IP address for the DMZ. The computer with this IP address acts as a DMZ host with unlimited Internet access.
3.6.2 URL Filter If you want to limit access to certain sites on the Internet, you can use this feature. The URL filter will check each Web site access. If the address, or part of the address, is included in the block site list, access will be denied. Current Filter Strings: The list contains the current list of items to block. Add Filter String : To add to the current list, type the word or domain name you want to block into the field provided, then click the Add button.
3.6.3 Access Control The Access Control feature allows administrators to restrict the level of Internet Access available to PCs on your LAN. With the default settings, everyone has unrestricted Internet access. Select the desired options for the current group: None - Nothing is blocked. Use this to create the least restrictive group. Block all Internet access - All traffic via the WAN port is blocked. Use this to create the most restrictive group.
3.6.4 Dynamic DNS You can configure WNRT-61O to use DDNS service if you already have a registered DDNS account. This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address. This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you. DDNS Services work as follows: 1.
3.6.5 Firewall Rules The Firewall Rules screen allows you to define "Firewall Rules" which can allow or prevent certain traffic. "Traffic" means incoming connection attempts, not packets. By default: All Outgoing traffic is permitted. All Incoming traffic is denied. Because of this default behavior, any Outgoing rules will generally Block traffic, and Incoming rules will generally Allow traffic. 3.6.
3.6.7 Virtual Servers This feature, sometimes called Port Forwarding, allows you to make Servers on your LAN accessible to Internet users. Normally, Internet users would not be able to access a server on your LAN because: Your Server does not have a valid external IP Address. Attempts to connect to devices on your LAN are blocked by the firewall in this device. The "Virtual Server" feature solves these problems and allows Internet users to connect to your servers, as illustrated below. 192.168.0.
Defaults : This will delete any Servers you have defined, and set the pre-defined Servers to use their default port numbers. Disable All : This will cause the "Enable" setting of all Virtual Servers to be set OFF. Update Selected Server : Update the current Virtual Server entry, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen. Add as new Server : Add a new entry to the Virtual Server list, using the data shown in the "Properties" area on screen.
3.6.9 Schedule This Schedule can be used for the Firewall Rules and the URL filter. Day : Each day of week can scheduled independently. Session 1 and Session 2: Two separate sessions or periods can be defined. Session 2 can be left blank if not required. Start Time : Enter the start using a 24 hour clock. Finished Time : Enter finish using a 24 hour clock Time Zone : In order to display your local time correctly, you must select your "Time Zone" from the list.
3.7.1 PC Database PC Database : This is the list of PCs shown when you select the "DMZ PC" or a "Virtual Server". This database is maintained automatically, but you can add and delete entries for PCs which use a Fixed (Static) IP Address. The PC Database is used whenever you need to select a PC (e.g. for the "DMZ" PC). It eliminates the need to enter IP addresses. Also, you do not need to use fixed IP addresses on your LAN.
3.7.2 Network Diagnostics Ping this IP Address : Enter the IP address you wish to ping. The IP address can be on your LAN, or on the Internet. Note that if the address is on the Internet, and no connection currently exists, you could get a "Timeout" error. In that case, wait a few seconds and try again. Ping Button : After entering the IP address, click this button to start the "Ping" procedure. The results will be displayed in the Ping Results pane.
