Installation and Configuration of the NB16DG
Placement of your NB16DG
The wireless connection between your NB16DG and your WiFi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to your NB16DG. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your NB16DG and connected devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the computer to a position between three to five meters from the NB16DG in order to see if distance is the problem.
Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this checklist may help.
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NB16DG, please try the following steps:
In multi-storey homes, place the NB16DG on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing the NB16DG on an upper floor.
Try not to place the NB16DG near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NB16DG
(2.4GHz).
Avoid obstacles and interference
Avoid placing your NB16DG near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:
Refrigerators
Washers and/or dryers
Metal cabinets
Large aquariums
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the NB16DG).
Cordless Phones
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:
Try moving cordless phones away from your NB16DG and your wireless-enabled computers.
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NB16DG.
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NB16DG to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

Forwarding Rules
The Forwarding Rules page allows you to configure the port forwarding management on the router. Click on any of the menu items on the left to access the respective settings page.
Forwarding rules are a necessary feature as by default NAT (Network Address Translation) will automatically block incoming traffic from the Internet to the LAN unless a specific port mapping exists in the NAT translation table. Because of this, NAT provides a level of protection for computers that are connected to your LAN.
However this also creates a connectivity problem when you want to make LAN resources available to Internet clients. For example, to play network games or host network applications.
There are three ways to work around NAT and to enable certain LAN resources available from the Internet:
Port Forwarding
Port Triggering
DMZ Host
Port Forwarding
A virtual server is defined as a Service Port, and all requests to this port will be redirected to the computer specified by the Server
IP.
Port Forwarding can also work with Scheduling Rules, and give you more flexibility on Access control.
Note: For further instructions on scheduling rules, please refer to the “Scheduling” section later in this guide
For example, if you have an FTP server (the default port is 21) at 192.168.1.10, a Web server (the default port is 80) at
192.168.20.40, and a VPN server (the default port is 1723) at 192.168.20.60, then you would need to specify the following virtual server mappings:
Note: At any given time, only one IP address can be bound to a particular Service Port. www.netcommwireless.com

Port Triggering
Some applications like online games, video conferencing and Internet telephony require multiple connections to the internet. As such, these applications cannot work with a pure NAT router such as the NB16DG.
The Port Triggering feature allows some of these applications to work with this router.
Note: If this fails to make the application work, try to configure that computer as the DMZ host instead.
(For further instructions on setting up a DMZ host, please refer to the “Miscellaneous” section below)

Packet Filters
The Packet Filter enables you to control what packets are allowed to pass through the router. There are two types of packet filter,
Outbound Packet Filter which applies to all outbound packets and the Inbound Packet Filter which only applies to packets that are destined for a Virtual Server or DMZ host only.
Note: For further instructions on setting up MAC Level Filtering, please refer to the “MAC Control” section below
Outbound Filter:
To enable an Outbound Filter, tick the Enable tick box at the top of the page.
There are two types of filtering policies:
Allow all data traffic to pass except those that match the specified rules.
Deny all data traffic to pass except those that match the specified rules.
You can specify up to 48 filtering rules for each direction (Inbound or Outbound). For each rule you will need to define the following:
Source IP address
Source port
Destination IP address
Destination port
Protocol: TCP or UDP or both.
Use Schedule Rule#
For source or destination IP address, you can define a single IP address (192.168.1.1) or a range of IP addresses (192.168.1.100-
192.168.20.200). Leaving these fields empty implies all IP addresses are matched.
For source or destination port, you can also define a single port (80) or a range of ports (1000-1999). Use the prefix "T" or "U" to specify either the TCP or UDP protocol e.g. T80, U53, U2000-2999. No prefix indicates both
TCP and UDP are defined. Leaving this field empty implies all ports are matched.
The Packet Filter also works with Scheduling Rules, and gives you more flexibility on Access control.

Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS feature enables users to set a static domain name for their internet connection even when the ISP only provides a dynamic IP address.
By mapping the host name to the current public IP address of the router, users who want to connect to the router or any services behind the router from the internet can just use the Dynamic DNS hostname instead of the IP Address which might change every time the router connects to the Internet.
Before you can use a Dynamic DNS service, you need to register an account on one of the many supported Dynamic DNS providers such as DynDNS.org, TZO.com or dhs.org.
After registering the account, the Dynamic DNS provider will provide you with the following details:
Host Name
Username/Email
Password/Key
To enable the Dynamic DNS feature on the unit, select the Enable option, choose the appropriate Dynamic DNS Provider and enter the details supplied by your Dynamic DNS provider.

Routing
Routing tables allow you to determine which physical interface address to use for outgoing IP data. If you have more than one router and subnet, you will need to configure the routing table to allow packets to find the proper routing path and allow different subnets to communicate with each other.
These settings are used to setup the static and dynamic routing features of the NB16DG.
Dynamic Routing:
Routing Information Protocol (RIP) will exchange information about different host destinations for working out routes throughout the network.
Note: Only select RIPv2 if you have a different subnet in your network. Otherwise, select RIPv1.
Static Routing:
For static routing, you can specify up to 8 routing rules.
You need to enter the destination IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and hop for each routing rule, then enable the rule by selecting the Enable checkbox.
