5.6.5 DDNS Configuration

The Wireless Router supports

Dynamic Domain Name Service

(

DDNS

). The dynamic DNS service allows a dynamic public IP address to be associated with a static host name in any of the many domains, and allows access to a specified host from various locations on the Internet. Click a hyperlinked URL in the form of hostname.dyndns.org and allow remote access to a host. Many ISPs assign public IP addresses using DHCP, so locating a specific host on the LAN using the standard DNS is difficult. For example, if you are running a public web server or VPN server on your LAN, DDNS ensures that the host can be located from the Internet even if the public IP address changes. DDNS requires that an account be set up with one of the supported

DDNS service providers (DyndDNS.org).

5.6.6 DMZ

DMZ is the abbreviation of the Demilitarized Zone. Since some applications are not compatible with NAT, the AP supports the use of a DMZ IP address for a single host on the LAN. This IP address is not protected by NAT and it is visible to agents on the Internet with the correct type of software. Note that any client PC in the DMZ is

-45-


exposed to various types of security risks. If you use the DMZ, take measures (such as client-based virus protection) to protect the remaining client PCs on your LAN from possible contamination through DMZ.

Appendix A: Troubleshooting

If you found the router is working improperly or stop responding to you, please read this troubleshooting first before contacting the dealer for help,. Some problems can be solved by yourself within a very short time.

Scenario Solution

The router is not responding to me when I want to access it by web browser.

I can’t get connected to the

Internet. a. Please check the connection of the power cord and the

Ethernet cable of this router. All cords and cables should be correctly and firmly inserted to the router. b. If all LEDs on this router are off, please check the status of power adapter, and make sure it is correctly powered.

c. You must use the same IP address section as the router uses. d. Are you using MAC or IP address filter? Try to connect the router by another computer and see if it works; if not, please reset the router to the factory default settings

(pressing ‘reset’ button for over 10 seconds). e. Set your computer to obtain an IP address automatically

(DHCP), and see if your computer can get an IP address. f. If you did a firmware upgrade and this happens, contact your dealer of purchase for help. g. If all the solutions above don’t work, contact the dealer for help. a. Go to ‘Status’ -> ‘Internet Connection’ menu, and check

Internet connection status. b. Please be patient, sometimes Internet is just that slow. c. If you connect a computer to Internet directly before, try to do that again, and check if you can get connected to

Internet with your computer directly attached to the device provided by your Internet service provider. d. Check PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and password again. e. Call your Internet service provide and check if there’s something wrong with their service. f. If you just can’t connect to one or more website, but you can still use other internet services, please check

URL/Keyword filter. g. Try to reset the router and try again later. h. Reset the device provided by your Internet service provider too. i. Try to use IP address instead of host name. If you can use IP address to communicate with a remote server, but can’t use host name, please check DNS setting.

-73-


I can’t locate my router by my wireless device.

File download is very slow or breaks frequently. a. ‘Broadcast ESSID’ set to off? b. All two antennas are properly secured. c. Are you too far from your router? Try to get closer. d. Please remember that you have to input ESSID on your wireless client manually, if ESSID broadcast is disabled.

a. Are you using QoS function? Try to disable it and try again. b. Internet is slow sometimes, so be patient. c. Try to reset the router and see if it’s better after that. d. Try to know what computers do on your local network. If someone’s transferring big files, other people will think

Internet is really slow. e. If this never happens before, call you Internet service provider to know if there is something wrong with their network.

I can’t log into the web management interface; the password is wrong. the router! b. Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the ‘Caps Lock’ light is not illuminated.

The router becomes hot c. If you really forget the password, do a hard reset. a. This is not a malfunction, if you can keep your hand on the router’s case. b. If you smell something wrong or see the smoke coming out from router or A/C power adapter, please disconnect the router and A/C power adapter from utility power

(make sure it’s safe before you’re doing this!), and call your dealer of purchase for help.



802.11n -

802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium

(EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area networking

(WLAN) products.

802.11b -

The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as

Wi-Fi networks.

802.11g -

specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP encryption for security.
