Product Features

The NetComm Wireless outdoor router (NTC-30WV) is designed to deliver high speed internet to homes and businesses with otherwise little to no Internet access available. The NTC-30WV is a robust 3G (HSPA+) router which can be pole or wall mounted and connects to a 3G network. The NTC-30WV features a powerful antenna system and wireless radio together in a single unit. This tight integration between the radio receiver and antenna system in an outdoor unit provides great benefits to signal strength compared with separated solutions involving signal degradation along lengthy antenna cabling.

The integrated telephone adapter connects a standard analogue phone handset to the NTC-30WV. It allows for phone calls to be made over the 3G UMTS network for a full landline replacement. The router integrates a powerful Sierra Wireless module (MC8704) and delivers download speeds of up to 21Mbps which is then transmitted via Ethernet to a WiFi router inside the property.

Power is delivered to the outdoor router via Power over Ethernet technology making installation quick and easy as there is no power source required at the outdoor mount point, and both power and data can be provided via a single cable from inside the property.

With an IP67 rating, the device also withstands diverse temperature and weather environments.

1 Maximum wireless signal rate and coverage values are derived from IEEE Standard 802.11g and 802.11n specifications. Actual wireless speed and coverage are dependent on network and environmental conditions included but not limited to volume of network traffic, building materials and construction/layout.

Mobile Broadband

Connection

Click on the “Internet Settings” menu followed by “Mobile Broadband” and then the “Connection” menu item on the right. www.netcommwireless.com

Figure 20 - Connection Settings

NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice

23

To connect using a Connection profile

The router supports multiple APN profiles; these profiles allow you to configure the settings that the router will use to connect to the

3G network. By default, the “Automatically configure my mobile broadband” option is selected. This automatically detects the most appropriate APN from the inserted SIM by querying a database on the router.

You can also manually enter the connection details by performing the following steps:

1.

Remove the check from the “Automatically configure my mobile broadband” box

2.

Select the profile that you wish to configure from the “Profile Name” drop down list.

3.

Enter the APN Name (Access Point Name) and if required, the username and password.

4.

Select Enable for the “Mobile Broadband Connection” option. If there is already another profile enabled you will need to select that profile first and disable it since only one profile can be used at a time.

5.

Select the Authentication Type.

6.

Enter the Reconnect Delay (if needed - the default should be suitable in most cases).

7.

Enter the number of Reconnection attempts the router should make.

8.

Enter the network metric for the connection.

9.

Select to enable or disable NAT Masquerading for the connection.

10.

Click Save.

To confirm successful connection

Click on the Status menu item at the top of the page to return to the Status page.

If the Mobile Broadband connection has been established successfully, the WWAN status will be “Up”. The IP Address field shows the current IP address that the network has allocated for the router. The mobile broadband internet connection is now ready to use.

Restoring the Automatic Configuration option after manually configuring an APN profile

When you have manually configured an APN and want to have the router automatically configure your broadband connection again, you must first set “Mobile Broadband Connection” to Disable for that profile and then remove the APN Name from the “APN Name” field and click “Save”. This is because the router saves the manually configured APN profile in flash memory and will always try to connect to that APN first regardless of whether “Automatically configure my mobile broadband” is enabled.

PPPoE

The PPPoE page is used to configure a transparent PPPoE connection. This can be used to provide a bridged connection.

To enable PPPoE mode, firstly ensure the “Auto Connect” is disabled in all the profiles on the “Connection” configuration page by clicking on the “Internet Settings” menu followed by “Mobile Broadband “and then the “Connection” menu item on the right. Select each connection profile and disable the Auto Connection option then save the updated settings.

Figure 21 - PPPoE Settings

1.

Select “Enable” to enable PPPoE.

2.

Specify the APN supplied by your 3G provider.

(Optional)

3.

Specify a “Service Name”.

This is particularly useful if you have more than one PPPoE router or modem on a single Ethernet network.

Click “Save” to save your settings and enable PPPoE. www.netcommwireless.com NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice

Band / Provider

The band settings page enables you to select which frequency band you will use for your connection and enables you to scan for available network operators in your area.

Figure 22 - Band / Provider Selection

You may want to do this if you’re using the router in a country with multiple frequency networks that may not all support HSPA. You can select the router to only connect on the network frequencies that suit your requirements.

Select a band from the “Change Band:” drop down list.

The following band settings options are available:

 WCDMA 900/2100

 WCDMA ALL

 GSM ALL

 GSM 900/1800

 All Bands

In most cases it is not necessary to change the default setting of “All bands”. When “All bands” is selected, the router attempts to find the most suitable band based on the inserted SIM card.

You can also scan for available 3G service providers in your area by selecting “Manual” for the “Current Operator Selection Mode” and then clicking the scan button.

Figure 23 - Manual Operator Selection

A list of the detected 3G service carriers in your area will be displayed. Select the most appropriate 3G service from the list shown and click “Apply”.

The “Automatic” option is sufficient for most users. It will choose the most appropriate operator based on the inserted SIM card.

SIM Security

If the SIM card is locked you will need to unlock it with a PIN provided with your SIM card.

You can find out if the SIM is locked by viewing the SIM Status on the Status page:

Figure 24 - SIM Security - Status Page Warning

If the SIM Status is “SIM PIN” as above then do the following:

1.

Click on the “Internet Settings” menu at the top of the page and then the “SIM Security” item from the WWAN (3G) menu item on the right.

Figure 25 - SIM Security - SIM PIN Needed

2.

Enter the PIN code in the “PIN” field and then enter it again in the “Confirm PIN” field to confirm the PIN code.

Note: You can also select to “Remember PIN” so that entering the PIN code each time the SIM is inserted is not required.

Alternatively you can also disable SIM PIN protection by selecting to “Disable PIN” from the “PIN Protection” drop down menu.

3.

Click Save.

Enter PUK

After three incorrect attempts at entering the PIN code, you are requested to enter a PUK code.

Note: You will need to contact your 3G provider to obtain this number.

Your carrier will issue you a PUK code to enable you to unlock the SIM and enter a new PIN code. Enter the new PIN and PUK codes and click Save.

Figure 26 - SIM Security - SIM PUK Needed

Remember PIN

This feature allows the router to automatically send the PIN to the SIM each time the SIM asks for it (usually at power up).

This enables the SIM to be PIN Locked (to prevent unauthorised re-use of the SIM elsewhere), while still allowing the router to connect to the cellular service.

When this feature is enabled the PIN entered by the user when they set the “Remember PIN” feature is encrypted and stored locally in the router. The next time the SIM asks the router for the PIN the router decrypts the PIN and automatically sends it to the SIM without user intervention.

When this feature is disabled and the SIM is PIN locked, the PIN must be manually entered via the router‘s configuration interface.

This is clearly not desirable where the router is unattended. www.netcommwireless.com NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice

LAN

IP Setup

The IP Setup page is used to configure the LAN Settings of the router and to enable or disable DNS Masquerade.

Figure 27 - IP Setup Settings

The default IP of the Ethernet port is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0.

To change this, enter the new IP Address and/or Subnet mask and click “Save”.

Note: If the IP address has changed you will have to re-enter the new IP address configured in your browser to access the configuration pages.

DNS Masquerading

DNS masquerading allows the router to forward DNS requests to dynamically assigned DNS servers. Clients on the router’s LAN can then use the router as a DNS server without needing to know of the dynamically assigned DNS servers assigned by the cellular network.

There should be no need to disable this feature in most cases, however, if you need to do so simply select “Disable” and click the

Save button.

DHCP

The DHCP page is used to adjust the DHCP settings used by the router. The DHCP settings are then passed onto any device connecting via DHCP.

You can manually set the DHCP Start and End range, the DHCP Lease time, the default Domain name suffix, Primary and

Secondary DNS Server, the Primary and Secondary WINS Server, as well as the NTP, TFTP and Option 150/Option 160 (VoIP options) settings.

Routing

Static

The Static Route page is used to add or delete static routes. Static routes can be used to facilitate communication between devices on different networks.

Figure 30 - Static Route Settings

Some routes are added by default by the router on initialisation such as the Ethernet subnet route for routing to a device on the

Ethernet subnet. A PPP route is also added upon obtaining a WAN PPP connection.

Adding Static Routes

 Enter the required values in the fields (as shown above) for route being added.

 Click the “Add” button.

Note: You must increment the “Route no” by 1 for each route in the “Route no” field otherwise that route will be overwritten.

The Static Route will be displayed at the bottom of the Static Routes section.

Deleting Static Routes

Click the “Delete Entry” text (in blue).

NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice

30 www.netcommwireless.com

RIP

RIP (Routing Information Protocol) is used for advertising routes to other routers. Thus all the routes in the router’s routing table will be advertised to other nearby routers. For example, the route for the router’s Ethernet subnet could be advertised to a Router on the PPP interface side so that a Router on this network will know how to route to a device on the router’s Ethernet subnet. You will have to add the routes appropriately in the Static Routes section – see Adding Static Routes.

Note: Some routers will ignore RIP.

VRRP

Virtual Router Redundancy Protocol (VRRP) is a non-proprietary redundancy protocol designed to increase the availability of the default gateway servicing hosts on the same subnet. This increased reliability is achieved by advertising a “virtual router” (an abstract representation of master and backup routers acting as a group) as a default gateway to the host(s) instead of one physical router. Two or more physical routers are then configured to stand for the virtual router, with only one doing the actual routing at any given time. If the current physical router that is routing the data on behalf of the virtual router fails, an arrangement is made for another physical router to automatically replace it. The physical router that is currently forwarding data on behalf of the virtual router is called the master router.

Master routers have a priority of 255 and backup router(s) can have priority between 1 and 254.

A virtual router must use 00-00-5E-00-01-XX as its (MAC) address. The last byte of the address (XX) is the Virtual Router Identifier

(VRID), which is different for each virtual router in the network. This address is used by only one physical router at a time, and is the only way that other physical routers can identify the master router within a virtual router.

Figure 32 - VRRP Settings

1.

Click Enable to activate the VRRP service.

2.

Enter an ID – this is the VRRP ID which is different for each virtual router on the network.

3.

Enter a priority – a higher value is a higher priority.

4.

Enter the VRRP IP address – this is the virtual IP address that both virtual routers share.

5.

Click the “Save VRRP” button.

Note: Configuring VRRP changes the MAC address of the Ethernet port and therefore if you want to resume with the web configuration you must use the new IP address (VRRP IP) or on a command prompt type: arp –d <ip address>

(i.e. arp –d 192.168.1.1) to clear the arp cache.(old MAC address).

 WPA2

 WPA2- PSK

 WPA-PSK-WPA2-PSK

 WPA1-WPA2

 802.1x

WPA1/WPA2

WPA (WiFi Protected Access) authentication is suitable for enterprise applications. It must be used in conjunction with an authentication server such as RADIUS to provide centralized access control and management. It provides a stronger encryption and authentication solution.

Figure 42 - Advanced View – WiFi Security Settings - WPA1/WPA2

WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

A newer type of security is WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES). This type of security gives a more secure network compare to

WEP. Use TKIP Encryption Type for WPA-PSK and AES for WPA2-PSK. After that, please enter the key in the Passphrase field. The key needs to be more than 8 characters and less than 63 characters and it can be any combination of letters and numbers.

Note that the configuration for WPA2, WPA-PSK-WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK is identical.

Figure 43 - Advanced View – WiFi Security Settings - WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK

Note: Your NTC-30WV uses WPA2-PSK by default. Check the Wireless Security Card or the device label on the bottom of the NTC-30WV for your default SSID and Security key to begin connecting your wireless devices.

NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice

44 www.netcommwireless.com

802.1x

In order to use 802.1X security, you need to have a RADIUS server on your network that will act as the authentication server. Please type in the details for your RADIUS server in the fields required.

Figure 44 - Advanced View – WiFi Security Settings - 802.1x

Note: After configuring wireless security, you also need to configure your wireless adapter to use the same security

settings before you can connect wirelessly. Not all wireless adapters support WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK/WPA/WPA2 security;

Please refer to your wireless adapter user guide for more details. It is strongly recommended to set up a simple wireless

security such as WPA-PSK (when the wireless client supports WPA-PSK) in order to secure your network.

Most wireless adapters in computers and laptops support at least WEP and WPA.

WDS Mode

The NTC-30WV supports the configuration of a Wireless Distribution System (WDS). WDS allows you to expand your wireless network with multiple access points. There are two WDS modes available: Bridged Mode and Repeater Mode.

In Bridged mode, the WDS access points communicate with each other but do not communicate with wireless clients. Bridged mode is best used in situations where the client machines connect via Ethernet cable. In Repeater mode, the WDS access points communicate with each other and with wireless clients.

Below is an example of how to configure two NTC-30WV routers to utilise the Repeater mode WDS feature. In this example, Access

Point 1 is connected to a mobile broadband network and Access Point 2 and its clients will connect to the internet through Access

Point 1.

BG Protection Mode

Client Idle Timeout

Beacon Interval:

DEFINITION

A protective measure designed to prevent collisions among 802.11b/g modes. Mode options include Auto,

On, or Off.

The time in seconds that a wireless client session can be idle before the gateway cancels the session and defines the wireless client as not connected.

Interval of time in which the wireless gateway broadcasts a beacon which is used to synchronize the wireless network.

Data Beacon Rate (DTIM)

Fragmentation Threshold

Enter a value in milliseconds between 1 and 255 for the Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.

This specifies the maximum size of a packet during the fragmentation of data to be transmitted. If you set this value too low, it will result in bad performance.

RTS Threshold

When the packet size is smaller than the RTS threshold, the wireless gateway will not use the RTS/CTS mechanism to send this packet.

TX Power

Short Preamble

This determines the output power of the antenna.

Enable or disable short preambles in use on the wireless network. Using short preambles should improve throughput, however some wireless network adapters must use long preambles.

Broadcast Network Name (SSID) Use this to show or hide the SSID (wireless network name) of your router.

MAC / IP / Port Filter

The Wireless LAN MAC / IP / Port filter feature ensures the network accessibility for the wireless client devices can be controlled.

When the MAC/IP/Port filter is enabled with a default policy of “Accepted”, the rules that are created indicate which packets to drop while all packets not listed are accepted. When the MAC/IP/Port filter is enabled with a default policy of “Dropped”, the rules that are created indicate which packets to accept while all other packets not listed are dropped. You can create up to 20 rules to control wireless client access.

The HTTP port (80) is enabled by default, allowing access to the web user interface from any wireless client. If you want to restrict access to the web user interface, set this to “Disable” and create a rule to allow access to port 80 for at least one client so that you do not become locked out of the web user interface.

Figure 54 - Wireless Settings – MAC / IP / Port Filter

Enter the required details for your rule and click “Save”. The details of the rule appear in the bottom section of the screen. You can select individual rules and delete them.

System Monitor

The System Monitor page is used to configure the behaviour of the Periodic Piing monitor function.

Figure 58 - System Monitor Settings

The Periodic Ping Reset Monitor configures the router to transmit controlled ping packets to 2 specified IP addresses. Should the router not receive responses to the pings, the router will reboot.

This works as follows:

1.

After every “Periodic Ping Timer” configured interval, the router sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address”.

2.

If all 3 pings fail the router sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address”.

3.

The router then sends 3 consecutive pings to the “Destination Address” and 3 consecutive pings to the “Second Address” every “Periodic Ping Accelerated Timer” configured interval.

4.

If all accelerated pings in step 3 above fail the number of times configured in “Fail Count”, the router reboots.

5.

If any ping succeeds the router returns to step 1 and does not reboot.

Note: The “Periodic Ping Timer” should never be set to a value less than 60 seconds; this is to allow the router time to reconnect to the cellular network following a reboot.

How to disable the Periodic Ping Monitor

To disable the Periodic Ping Reset Monitor simply set to “Fail Count” 0.

Note: The traffic generated by the periodic ping feature is counted as chargeable usage, please keep this in mind when selecting how often to ping.

How to configure a Forced Reset

This facility is available by clicking on the “Services” menu followed by the “System Monitor” menu item on the right.

The router can be configured to automatically reboot after a period of time specified in minutes. While this is not necessary, it does ensure that in the case of remote installations, it will reboot the router if some anomaly occurs.

The default value is 0 which disables the Forced Reset Timer. The maximum value is 65535 minutes. www.netcommwireless.com NTC-30WV – Outdoor HSPA+ WiFi Router with Voice

SNMP

The SNMP page is used to configure the SNMP features of the router.

Figure 59 - SNMP Settings

SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to remotely monitor the router for conditions that may warrant administrative attention. It can be used to retrieve information from the router such as the signal strength, the system time, the interface status, etc.

To configure SNMP:

1.

Select the “Enable” option for the Enable SNMP field.

2.

Enter the Community Names or leave them as default.

Community names are used as a type of security to prevent access to reading and/or writing to the routers configuration. It is recommended to change the Community names to something other than the default when using this feature.

SMS Configuration for Redirection

Incoming text messages can be redirected to another mobile device and/or a TCP/UDP message server.

Redirect To Mobile

You can forward incoming text messages to a different destination number. This destination number can be another mobile phone or 3G router phone number. To disable the feature, simply delete the number in the ‘Redirect to Mobile” field and click the “Save” button.

For Example:

If someone sends a text message and Redirect to Mobile is set to “0412345678”, this text message is stored on the router and forwarded to “0412345678” at the same time.

Redirect to TCP & TCP Port, Redirect to UDP & UDP Port

You can also forward incoming text messages to a TCP/UDP based destination. The TCP or UDP server can be any kind of public or private server if the server accepts incoming text-based message.

The TCP/UDP address can be an IP address or domain name. The port number range is from 1 to 65535. Please refer to your

TCP/UDP based SMS server configuration for which port to use.

For Example:

If someone sends a text message and Redirect to TCP is set to “192.168.20.3” and “2002”, this text message is stored in the router and forwarded to “192.168.20.3” on port “2002” at the same time.

SMS Configuration for Remote Diagnostics

Enable Remote Diagnostics

Enable or disable the Remote Diagnostics feature. If this setting is enabled all incoming text messages are parsed and tested for if they contain Remote Diagnostics commands.

If Remote Diagnostics commands are found, the router executes those commands. This feature is disabled by default.

Enable Authentication

Enable or disable checking the sender’s phone number against the allowed sender “White List” for incoming Diagnostics/Command

Execution SMS messages.

If authentication is enabled, the router will check if the sender’s number exists in the “White List”. If it exists, the router then checks the password in the incoming message against the password in the “White List” for the corresponding sending number. If they match, the Diagnostics/Command is executed.

If the number does not exist in “White List” or the password does not match, the router does not execute the incoming

Diagnostics/Command Execution SMS message.

This is enabled by default.

It is highly recommended to enable security when utilising the Diagnostics/Command Execution feature.

Send Ack. SMS for Set Command

Enable or disable sending an acknowledge message after execution of a “Set” command.

If disabled the router does not send any acknowledgement after execution of a “Set” command. This can be useful to determine if a command was received and executed by the router. This is disabled by default.

Send Ack. SMS to

Select destination to send an acknowledgement message to after the execution of a “Set” command.

If “Fixed Ack. SMS Number” is selected, the acknowledgement message will be sent to the predefined number in the “Fixed Ack.

SMS Number” field.

If the SMS Sender Number is selected, the acknowledgement message will be sent to sender directly. The default setting is to use

“SMS Sender Number”.

Fixed Ack. SMS Number

Enter the destination number to which acknowledgement messages will be sent after the execution of a “Set” command.

Send Error SMS for Get/Set/Exec Command

Enable or disable the sending of an error message resulting from the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command.

If disabled, the router does not send any error notifications after the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command.

This function is disabled by default.

Send Error SMS to

Select the destination of the error messages from the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command.

If “Fixed Number” is selected, any error messages will be sent to the predefined number in the “Fixed Error SMS Number” field.

If “SMS Sender Number” is selected, any error messages will be sent to the sender directly.

The default setting is to use “SMS Sender Number”.

Fixed Error SMS Number

The destination number to which error messages from the execution of a Get/Set/Exec command should be sent.

2.

If time frame is set to “DAY” and current date and time is “04:30” 17 th

of March, then the counter will reset to zero at “00:00”

18 th

of March.

3.

If time period is set to “WEEK” and current date and time is “04:30” Saturday, then the counter will reset to zero at “00:00” on the coming Monday.

4.

If time period is set to “MONTH” and current date and time is “04:30” 17 th

of March, then the counter will reset to zero at

“00:00” 1 st

of April.

White List

A maximum number of 20 entries can be stored in the router.

If Authentication is enabled, any incoming Diagnostics/Command Execution SMS messages are processed only if the sender’s number exists in White List and the message password matches with the password specified in the White List.

One blank entry is shown by default and you can add or delete an entry by pressing the “+” or ”–“ button. The White List numbers and passwords can be cleared by pressing the “Delete” button.

To add an entry, simply enter the appropriate phone number and password and click “Save”.

SMS Command format

Generic Format for reading variables: get VARIABLE

PASSWORD get VARIABLE

Generic Format for writing to variables: set VARIABLE=VALUE

PASSWORD set VARIABLE=VALUE

Generic Format for executing a command: executeCOMMAND

PASSWORD executeCOMMAND

Replies

Upon receipt of successfully formatted, authenticated (if required) command, the gateway will reply to the SMS in the following format:

TYPE SMS CONTENTS NOTES

Get Command “VARIABLE=VALUE”

Set Command “Successfully set VARIABLE to VALUE”

Only sent if the acknowledgment message function is enabled

Execute Command “Successfully executed command COMMAND”

Table 30 - SMS Diagnostic Command Syntax

Where “VARIABLE” is the name of the value to be read

Where “VARIABLE (x)” is the name of another value to be read

Where “VALUE” is the content to be written to the “VARIABLE”

Where “COMMAND” is a supported command to be executed by the device (e.g. reboot)

Where “PASSWORD” is the password (if configured) for the corresponding sender number specified in the White List

Multiple commands can be sent in the same message, if separated by a semicolon.

For Example: get VARIABLE1; get VARIABLE2; get VARIABLE3

PASSWORD get VARIABLE1; get VARIABLE2 set VARIABLE=VALUE1 ; set VARIABLE2=VALUE2

PASSWORD set VARIABLE1=VALUE1; set VARIABLE2=VALUE2; set VARIABLE3=VALUE3

If required, values can also be bound by an apostrophe, double apostrophe or back tick.

For Example:

“set VARIABLE=’VALUE’”

“set VARIABLE=”VALUE””

“set VARIABLE=`VALUE`”

“get VARIABLE”

A password (if required), only needs to be specified once per SMS, but can be prefixed to each command if desired.

“PASSWORD get Variable1”; “get VARIABLE2”

“PASSWORD set VARIABLE1=VALUE1”; “set VARIABLE2=VALUE2”

If the command sent includes the “reboot” command and has already passed the White List password check, the device keeps this password and executes the remaining command line after the reboot with this same password.

For Example:

“PASSWORD execute reboot; getVariable1”; “get VARABLE2”

“PASSWORD execute reboot; PASSWORD get Variable1”; “get VARABLE2”

Commands are case insensitive, however variable names and values are case sensitive.

Appendix B: Recovery mode

The NTC-30WV features two independent operating systems, each with its own file systems. These two systems are referred to as

'Main' and 'Recovery'. It is always possible to use one in order to restore the other in the event that one system becomes damaged or corrupted (such as during a firmware upgrade failure).

Both systems have web interfaces that can be used to manipulate the other inactive system. The router starts up by default in the

Main system mode, however the router may be triggered to start in recovery mode if desired.

To start the router in recovery mode:

1.

Disconnect the power source from the router.

2.

Press and hold the physical reset button on the interface panel of the router. While holding the reset button down, connect the power source and keep holding the reset button down for 5 seconds and then release it. The router boots into recovery mode.

3.

In your browser, navigate to http://192.168.1.1

. The router’s recovery mode is hardcoded to use this address regardless of the IP address that was configured in the main system. The router’s recovery console is displayed.

Figure 80 - Recovery console

The recovery console provides limited functionality. Basic status information is available, as well as access to the System log for troubleshooting. The Application Installer can be used to upload and install different firmware, allowing you to roll back to a previous firmware in the event that an upgrade fails. The Settings menu provides the ability to reset the router to factory default settings and the Reboot tab allows you to perform a soft reboot of the router.
