It is easy and helpful for users making more detailed settings . Wake on LAN Switch your computer ON through your LAN or the Internet . To support WOL you must have a computer with Motherboard that supports WOL, as well as a Network Controller (NIC) supporting this function.
Profiles Save Users can create a backup file that contains current router settings. This backup file can be used to restore router settings. This is especially useful in the event you need to reset the router to its default settings.
Time Zone Users can select time zone and synchronize the local clock on the router. UpnP • • UpnP Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a standard of networking protocols promulgated by the UPnP Forum. The goals of UPnP are to allow devices to connect seamlessly and to simplify the implementation of networks in the home (data sharing, communications, and entertainment) and in corporate environments for simplified installation of computer components.
Route Setup Dynamic routing is a distance-vector routing protocol, which employs the hop count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum number of hops allowed for RIP is 15 Static routing is a data communication concept describing one way of configuring path selection of routers in computer networks.
VPN Passthrough Virtual Private Networking (VPN) is typically used for work-related networking. For VPN tunnels, the router supports IPSec, Pass-through, PPTP Pass-through, and L2TP Pass-through. Item IPSec Pass-through PPTP Pass-through L2TP Pass-through IPV6 Pass-through Description Internet Protocol Security (IPSec) is a suite of protocols used to implement secure exchange of packets at the IP layer. To allow IPSec tunnels to pass through the router, IPSec Passthrough is enabled by default.

Chapter 6.Q & A • Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network? A:In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and the LAN. Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet port on the Hub (switch or computer). • Why does the throughput seem slow? A:To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100 meter.
• • A:Yes, the Router mode allows for customization of your public IPs and Domain. Why can’t my computer work online after connecting to BR261c ? A: It’s possible that your Internet protocol (TCP/IP) was set to use the following IP address. Please do as the following steps. (Windows 2000 & XP) Start＞Settings＞Network and Dial-up Connections＞double click on Internet Protocol(TCP/IP)＞select obtain IP address automatically＞ Click on OK button. Then, open Internet browser for testing.
• • • ◦ Click on Proxies > select Direct connection to the Internet > click on OK button. ◦ Click on Edit again and then click on Preferences. ◦ Under category, double-click on Advanced and then click on Proxies. ◦ Select Direct connection to the Internet and click on OK button. ◦ Click on OK button. Web page hangs, corrupt downloads, or nothing but junk characters is being displayed on the screen.
For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same SSID descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to connect to the wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted to connect to the network unless it can provide this unique identifier.
A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with following: ◦ Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Access Point. ◦ Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement. ◦ Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference.
• Vista / WIN7 can not access USB disk if samba is "user mode" a. Open Control Panel. b. Choose Administrative Tools. c. Click Local Security Policy. d. Under Local Policies and Security Options，change Network security: LAN Manager Authentication Level from “Not Defined” to “Send LM & NTLM responses” • • What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the XDSL Router will support? A:The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode.
• • Why does the router dial out for PPPoE mode very often? A:Normally some of game, music or anti-virus program will send out packets that trigger the router to dial out, you can close these programs. Or you can set the idle time to 0, then control to dial out manually. What can I do if there is already a DHCP server in LAN? A:If there are two DHCP servers existing on the same network, it may cause conflict and generate trouble.
