[. . . ] If the Host Address is left 0. 0. 0. 0 this means anyone can access the router's web-based configuration from a remote location, providing they know the password. Note: When you want to access the web-based management from a remote site, you must enter the router's WAN IP address (e. g. You'll also need to know the password set in the Password Setting screen in order to access the router's web-based management. 28 Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place) 29 2. 2 WAN Use the WAN Settings screen if you have already configured the Quick Setup Wizard section and you would like to change your Internet connection type. The WAN Settings screen allows you to specify the type of WAN port connect you want to establish with your ISP. In the WAN Settings screen you can also specify the router to act as a Bridge. The WAN settings offer the following selections for the router's WAN port, Dynamic IP, PPPoE, PPTP, Static IP, Bridge, DNS and DDNS. Parameters 2. 2. 1 Dynamic IP 2. 2. 2 PPPoE 2. 2. 3 PPTP Description Your ISP will automatically give you an IP address Your ISP requires PPPoE connection. Your ISP requires you to use a Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) connection. 2. 2. 4 Static IP 2. 2. 5 Bridge 2. 2. 6 DNS Your ISP has given you an IP address already The router can be used as a bridge between LANs You can specify a DNS server that you wish to use 30 2. 2. 7 DDNS You can specify a DDNS server that you wish to use and configure the user name and password provided by you DDNS service provider. Once you have made a selection, click <More Configuration> at the bottom of the screen and proceed to the manual's relevant sub-section 2. 2. 1 Dynamic IP Choose the Dynamic IP selection if your ISP will automatically give you an IP address. Some ISP's may also require that you fill in additional information such as Host Name, Domain Name and MAC address (see chapter 1 "Cable Modem" for more detail) 2. 2. 2 PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) Select PPPoE if your ISP requires the PPPoE protocol to connect you to the Internet. (See chapter 1 "PPPoE" for more detail) 2. 2. 3 PPTP Select PPTP if your ISP requires the PPTP protocol to connect you to the Internet. (See chapter 1 "PPTP" for more detail) 2. 2. 4 Static IP Select Static IP address if your ISP has given you a specific IP address for you to use. (See chapter 1 "Fixed IP" for more detail) 31 2. 2. 5 Bridge The bridge mode screen allows you to set your Broadband router to bridge mode and allows you to assign an IP address for management purposes. When the bridge mode is selected, the router in effect becomes a switch, transferring packets from the WAN port to the LAN port and vice versa without any NAT involvement. In bridge mode, the original WAN MAC is ignored, and the original LAN MAC address will be used as the MAC address. These values will be restored when you set the device to operating modes other than the bridge mode. Parameters IP address Description Enter an IP Address for the Bridge Mode. This IP address allows you to access the web-based management should you decide to switch back to the router mode. The Subnet Mask for the Bridge Mode management Subnet Mask Click <Apply> at the bottom of the screen to save the above configurations. You can now configure other advance sections or start using the router (with the advance settings in place) 32 Example: Bridge Mode The diagram below demonstrates how the Bridge mode can be used. The router basically becomes a hub/switch allowing you to connect LAN clients to your Local Area Network. 33 2. 2. 6 DNS A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, such as www. router. com, a DNS server will find that name in its index and the matching IP address. If your Service Provider connects you to the Internet with dynamic IP settings, it is likely that the DNS server IP address is provided automatically. However, if there is a DNS server that you would rather use, you need to specify the IP address of that DNS server here. Parameters Domain Name Server (DNS) Server Description This is the ISP's DNS server IP address that they gave you; or you can specify your own preferred DNS server IP address This is optional. [. . . ] For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001. 10110000. 10010000. 00000111, and if its network mask is, 11111111. 11111111. 11110000. 00000000 It means the device's network address is 11011001. 10110000. 10010000. 00000000, and its host ID is, 00000000. 00000000. 00000000. 00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for routers to route IP packets to their destination. 80 ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. [. . . ]
