Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your WiFi DSL modem ro\
uter. Under usual 
circumstances, the WiFi DSL modem router has adequate routing informatio\
n after it has 
been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure mo\
re static routes. 
You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multip\
le WiFi DSL modem  routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following c\
ase: • Y
our primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. 
						

							Advanced Settings 122
D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router 
•
You have an ISDN WiFi DSL modem router on your home network for connectin\
g to the 
company where you are employed. This WiFi DSL modem router’s address on your LAN 
is 192.168.1.100.
• Y
our company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your WiFi DSL modem router, two implicit stati\
c routes were 
created. 

A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route 
was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With th\
is configuration, if you 
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your WiFi DSL mod\
em router 
forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you 
are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you have to define a static route, telling your WiFi DSL mo\
dem router that 
134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN WiFi DSL modem router at\
 
192.168.1.100. In this example:
• The Destination IP 
 Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route 
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. 
• The Gateway IP 
 Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be 
forwarded to the ISDN WiFi DSL modem router at 192.168.1.100. 
• A metric value of 1 works since the ISDN WiFi DSL modem router is on the\
 LAN. 
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP\
 is activated.
To set up a static route:
1. Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes.

2. 
Click  Add.
3. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identif\
ication purposes only.) 
4.  (Optional) Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only
 . 
If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP. 
5.  Select the  Active check box.
6.  T
ype the IP address of the final destination. 
7. T
ype the IP subnet mask for this destination.
If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255 . 
8.  T
ype the gateway IP address.
The gateway IP address has to be a WiFi DSL modem router on the same LAN\
 segment as the WiFi DSL modem router. 
9.  T
ype a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value. 
This value represents the number of WiFi DSL modem routers between your \
network and the destination. Usually
 , a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this connection is a direct 
connection, set it to 1. 
10.  Click  Apply .
The route is made effective.

Remote Management
The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of yo\
ur WiFi DSL 
modem router over the Internet.
Note:
Be sure to change the WiFi DSL modem router’s default login 
password to a secure password. The ideal password should contain 
no dictionary words from any language and contain uppercase and 
lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 
characters. For more information, see Set Password on page  98.
To set up remote management:
1. Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management .

the  WiFi DSL modem router’s  remote management.
Note:For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses 
as practical.
• T
o allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This 
Computer . Enter the IP address that is allowed access.  
						

							Advanced Settings

•To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address 
Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range. 
•To allow access from a list of specific IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address 
List. Enter the IP addresses that are allowed access.
•To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. 
4. Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface.
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater 
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose 
a number from 1024 through 65535, but do not use the number of any common service 
port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
5. Click Apply.
6. When accessing your WiFi DSL modem router from the Internet, type your WiFi DSL 
modem router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by a 
colon (:) and the custom port number.
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, 
enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.

Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet applian\
ces and computers, 
to access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devic\
es can 
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices o\
n the network.
Note:
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer 
connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging 
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable 
UPnP.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1. Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup >  UPnP . 
2. Configure the following settings:
• T
urn UPnP On . Enable or disable automatic device configuration. The default setting 
for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the WiFi DSL mo\
dem router 
does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such a\
s port 
forwarding (mapping), of the WiFi DSL modem router. 
• Advertisement Period.  The advertisement period is how often the WiFi DSL modem 
router broadcasts its UPnP information. 
 This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. 
The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control \
points have  current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can 
compromise the freshness of the device status, but can significantly red\
uce network 
traffic. 
						

							Advanced Settings 127
 D6200 WiFi DSL Modem Router
•
Advertisement Time to Live.  The time to live for the advertisement is measured in 
hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of 
steps a broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertise\
ment 
before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value 
for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for m\
ost home 
networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reach\
ed correctly, 
it might be necessary to increase this value.
• UPnP Portmap T
 able. The UPnP Portmap table displays the IP address of each 
UPnP device that is accessing the WiFi DSL modem router and which ports \
(internal 
and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap table also displays what 
type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP a\
ddress. 
3.  Click  Apply .
