Allow/deny VPN connections through your router
Management > Remote Management
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) is a network that uses a public network, such as the
Internet, to provide secure communications between a remote computer or network
and another network. Some offices often provide VPN access to their networks to
enable employees to work from their remote office/home office, or while traveling.
If your office or place of work has allowed and authorized access for you to access their
network through VPN, the default VPN settings in your router have been configured to
pass through the most common types of VPN protocols, which typically do not require
any additional configuration changes.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page”
on page 21).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Next to PPTP, L2TP, or IPsec (depending the VPN protocol your corporation requires)
click Enabled or Disabled to turn the VPN pass through feature on or off on your
router.
Note: It is recommended to leave these settings enabled.
4. To save changes, click Apply.
Allow/deny multicast streaming
Management > Remote Management
In some cases, applications require multicast communication (also called IP multicast
which is the delivery of information to a specific group of computers or devices in a
single transmission) typically used in media streaming applications. Multicast streaming
is enabled by default on your router to allow applications that require multicast
communication through your router which typically does not require additional
configuration changes.
1. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page”
on page 21).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Next to Multicast Stream, click Enabled or Disabled to turn the feature on or off on
your router.
Note: It is recommended to leave this setting enabled.
4. To save changes, click Apply.
Identify your network on the Internet
Main > Dynamic DNS
Since most ISPs constantly change your home IP address, providing access to devices on
your home or small office Local Area Network (such as IP Cameras) from the Internet
requires setting up a Dynamic DNS service and entering the parameters into this
management area. Dynamic DNS services allow your router to confirm its location to the
given Dynamic DNS service, thereby providing the Dynamic DNS service with the ability
to provide a virtual fixed IP address for your network. This means that even though your
ISP is always changing your IP address, the Dynamic DNS service will be able to identify
your network using a fixed address—one that can be used to view home IP Camera and
other devices on your local area network.
Note: First, you will need to sign up for one of the DDNS service providers listed in
the Server Address drop-down list.
1. Sign up for one of the DDNS available service providers list under Server Address.
(e.g. dyndns.com, no-ip.com, etc.)
2. Log into your router management page (see “
Access your router management page”
on page 21).
3. Click on Main and click on Dynamic DNS.
4. Next to DDNS, click Enabled.
5. In the Server Address drop-down list, select the provider you selected, and enter your
information in the fields.
