    •
    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 will be 
    forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. 
    • A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN. 
    • The  Private  check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case \
    RIP 
    is activated.

    Remote Management
    You can access your router over the Internet to view or change its settin\
    gs. You must know 
    the router’s WAN IP address to use this feature. For information about remote access u\
    sing 
    Dynamic DNS, see Chapter 7, Access Storage Devices Through the Internet . 
    Note:Be sure to change the password for the user name admin to a secure 
    password. The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any 
    language and contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, 
    and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters. See Change the admin 
    Password on page  93.
    To set up remote management:
    1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connecte\
    d to the 
    network.
    2.  T

    as practical.
    Select one of the following: 
    						
    							Manage Your Network 
    107  N600 WiFi Dual Band Gigabit Router
    •Only This Computer. Allow access from a single IP address on the Internet. Enter 
    the IP address to be allowed access. 
    •IP Address Range. Allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet. Enter 
    a beginning IP address and an ending IP address to define the allowed range. 
    •Everyone. Allow access from any IP address on the Internet. 
    7. 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 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. 
    The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.
    8. Click the Apply button.
    Your changes take effect.
    To use remote access:
    1. Launch a web browser on a computer that is not on your home network.
    2. Type your 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.

    The router comes ready for WiFi, Ethernet, and USB connections. You can customize the 
    router’s network settings. NETGEAR recommends that you install the router and connect it to 
    the Internet before you change its network settings.

    View or Change WAN Settings
    You can view or configure wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port. You can 
    set up a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and 
    enable the router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port. 
    To view or change the WAN settings:
    1.  Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connecte\
    d to the 
    network.
    2.  T
    ype  http://www.routerlogin.net  or http://www.routerlogin.com .
    A login screen displays.
    3.  Enter the router user name and password.
    The user name is  admin. 
     The default password is password. The user name and 
    password are case-sensitive.
    The BASIC Home screen displays.
    4.  Select  ADV
     ANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
    The following settings display: • Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against 
    denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf 
    
    Attack, Ping of Death, and many 
    others. Select this check box only in special circumstances. 
    • Default DMZ Server . 
     This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online 
    games or videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective. See  Set 
    Up a Default DMZ Server  on page
      11 0.
    • Respond to Ping on Internet Port . This 
     feature allows your router to be discovered. 
    Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool or for a specific reason.  
    						
    							Network Settings 
    110 N600 WiFi Dual Band Gigabit Router 
    •Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network 
    (LAN) to receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not 
    need this feature, you can select this check box to disable it.
    •MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most 
    Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the 
    MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection. See 
    Change the 
    MTU Size on page 36.
    •NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router 
    processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks 
    from the Internet but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, 
    or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much less secured 
    firewall but allows almost all Internet applications to work.
    •VPN passthrough. These features will be implemented in a firmware upgrade.
    5. Click the Apply button.
    Your changes are saved.
    Set Up a Default DMZ Server
    The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and 
    videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation 
    (NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work 
    correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local 
    computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as 
    the default DMZ server.
    WARNING:
    DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the 
    default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and 
    is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ 
    server computer can be used to attack other computers on your 
    network.
    The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a 
    response to one of your local computers or a service that you configured in the Port 
    Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can specify that the 
    router forwards the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the 
    default DMZ server.
    To set up a default DMZ server: 
    1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the 
    network.
    2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.
