wireless client to connect the device
with 11g speed.
11b/g/n mode：Allow 11b/g/n-compliant client
device to connect with the AP with
auto-negotiation speed.
 Main SSID：SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the
unique name of the wireless network. This device
has two SSID and the main SSID is necessary.
 Secondary SSID：This value is optional.
 Broadcast (SSID): Select “Enable” to enable the
device's SSID to be visible by wireless clients. The
default is enabled.
 MBSSID AP Isolation ： One access control
feature based on wireless MAC address. When this

other. For example, configure main SSID as AP1,

45
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

secondary SSID as AP2. PC1 and PC2 connect to

AP1 via wireless adapter, and configure PC1 and
PC2 in the same segment. After the feature is
enabled, two PCs can not communicate and share
network resource each other, but they can
communicate with wireless clients connected with
AP2. This feature is to isolate the communication of
wireless clients connected with the same SSID.
 AP Isolation: One access control feature based on
SSID. When this feature is enabled, each of your
wireless clients will be in its own virtual network
and will not be able to communicate with each
other. When this feature is enabled, wireless clients
connected with the Main SSID and Secondary SSID
can not communicate with each other, which can
strongly secure the wireless network. For example,
configure main SSID as AP1, secondary SSID as
AP2. PC1 connects to AP1 via wireless adapter; PC2
connecting to AP2. After the feature is enabled, two
PCs can not communicate and share network
resource each other. This feature is to isolate the
communication of wireless clients connected with
different SSID.
 Tip: If you want to isolate all connected wireless
client's communication, please enable MBSSID AP
Isolation and AP Isolation simultaneously.
 BSSID ： Basic Service Set Identifier of wireless

8.1 Single Port Forwarding

The Router can be configured as a virtual server on

behalf of local services behind the LAN port. The given
remote requests will be re-directed to the local servers
via the virtual server. This section deals with the single
port forwarding mainly. The Single Port Forwarding
allows you to set up kinds of public services such as web
servers, ftp, e-mail and other specialized Internet
applications on your network.

68
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

 External Port: This is the external (WAN) port

number for server or Internet application, for
example, port 21 for ftp service.
 Internal Port: This is the port number of LAN
computer set by the Router. The Internet traffic
from the external port will forward to the internal
port. For example：you can set the internal port
NO.66 to act as the external port NO.21 for ftp

69

conflict to disable the virtual server.

8.3 ALG Service Settings

In the context of computer networking, an ALG or

application layer gateway consists of a security
component that augments a firewall or NAT employed in
a computer network. It allows customized NAT traversal
filters to be plugged into the gateway to support
address and port translation for certain application layer
"control/data" protocols such as FTP, BitTorrent, SIP,
RTSP, file transfer applications etc.

72
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

In order for these protocols to work through NAT or a

firewall, either the application has to know about an
address/port number combination that allows incoming
packets, or the NAT has to monitor the control traffic
and open up port mappings (firewall pinhole)
dynamically as required. Legitimate application data
can thus be passed through the security checks of the
firewall or NAT that would have otherwise restricted the
traffic for not meeting its limited filter criteria.

Usually allowing client applications to use dynamic

ephemeral TCP/ UDP ports to communicate with the
known ports used by the server applications, even
though a firewall-configuration may allow only a limited
number of known ports. In the absence of an ALG,
either the ports would get blocked or the network
administrator would need to explicitly open up a large
number of ports in the firewall; rendering the network
73
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

vulnerable to attacks on those ports.

In the default ALG settings, the following protocols have

enabled. It is recommended to keep the settings
unchanged.
1. FTP
2. TFTP
3. PPTP
4. IPSec
5. L2TP

8.4 DMZ Settings

Chapter 12 Routing Setting

12.1 Routing Table

The main duty for a router is to look for a best path for
every data frame, and transfer this data frame to a
destination. So, it’s essential for the router to choose
the best path, i.e. routing arithmetic. In order to finish
this function, many transferring paths, i.e. routing
table, are saved in the router, for choosing when
needed.

93

12.2 Static Routing

This page is used to configure the Router’s static
routing.

 Destination LAN IP: The address of the remote

host with which you want to construct a static
route.
 Subnet Mask: The network portion of the
Destination LAN IP.
 Gateway: The gateway of the next hop, usually
the Router or host’s IP address.
Note：
1. The gateway must keep the same segment with
the Router’s LAN IP address.

2. If the destination IP address is one host’s IP

address, the Subnet mask should be
255.255.255.255.

3. If the destination IP address is an IP address

94
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

range, the subnet mask should match the IP

used to monitor hosting website, FTP server and so on
behind the Router. If you want to activate this function,
please select “Enable” and a DDNS service provider to
sign up.

 Main Features:
Owing to ISP most times provides dynamic IP
address, DDNS is used to capture the changeable
IP address and match the fixed domain. Then users
can have access to the Internet to communicate
97

Appendix 1：Glossary

Access Point (AP):

Any entity that has station functionality and provides
access to the distribution services, via the wireless
medium (WM) for associated stations.

Channel:
An instance of medium use for the purpose of passing
protocol data units (PDUs) that may be used
simultaneously, in the same volume of space, with other
instances of medium use(on other channels) by other
instances of the same physical layer (PHY),with an
acceptably low frame error ratio(FER) due to mutual
interference.

SSID:
Service Set identifier. An SSID is the network name
shared by all devices in a wireless network. Your
network’s SSID should be unique to your network and
identical for all devices within the network. It is
case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters (use
any of the characters on the keyboard).Make sure this
setting is the same for all devices in your wireless
network.

106
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

WEP:
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is the method for
secure wireless data transmission. WEP adds data
encryption to every single packet transmitted in the
wireless network. The 40bit and 64bit encryption are
the same because of out 64 bits, 40 bits are
private. Conversely, 104 and 128 bit are the
same. WEP uses a common KEY to encode the
data. Therefore, all devices on a wireless network
must use the same key and same type of
encryption. There are 2 methods for entering the KEY;
one is to enter a 16-bit HEX digit. Using this method,
users must enter a 10-digit number (for 64-bit) or
26-digit number (for 128-bit) in the KEY field. Users
must select the same key number for all devices. The
other method is to enter a text and let the computer
generate the WEP key for you. However, since each
product use different method for key generation, it
might not work for different products. Therefore, it is
NOT recommended using.

WPA/WPA2:
A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on
the basic foundations of WEP. It secures wireless data
transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the
added strength of WPA is that the key changes
dynamically. The changing key makes it much more
107
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to

the network.WPA2 is the second generation of WPA
security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism
through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is
a requirement for some government users.

Appendix 2: Ask and Question

In this part some questions and problems shown during

the Router’s usage and installation will be given
suggesting answers. If your problems are not in the list,
please log into our website www.nexxtsolutions.com or
send an E-mail to [email protected],
and we will reply you in the first time.

1、Can not login to the Web interface of the Router after

you enter the IP address in the address field？

Step 1: check the Router if it works well. Once the

device is powered on for a few seconds, the SYS
indicator on the panel will be turned on. If it is not,
please contact us.

Step 2: check the network cables if it is good and the

corresponding indicator is “Always ON”. Sometimes, the
indicator is “Always ON”, but it does not mean it gets
through.

Run “Ping” command and check if it can ping the

Router’s LAN IP address 192.168.0.1. If it is OK, please
make sure your browser does not access the Internet by
proxy server. If the ping fails, you can press the “RESET”
109
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

button for 7 seconds to restore to default settings. And

then repeat the ping operation. If it still does not work,
please contact us.

2、Forget the login password and can not enter the

setting page. What can I do?

Press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore the

Router to default settings.

3、The computer connected with the Router shows IP

address conflict. What can I do?

Check if there are other DHCP servers in the LAN. If

there have, disable them. The default IP address of the
Router is 192.168.0.1 and please maker sure the
address is not occupied by other devices. If there are
two computers with the same IP addresses, please
modify one.

4、I can not use E-mail and access the Internet. What
can I do?

It happens in ADSL connection and Dynamic IP users.

And you need modify the default MTU value (1492).
Please in the “WAN Setting” modify the MTU value with
110
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

the recommended value as 1450 or 1400.

5 、 How to configure and access the Internet via
Dynamic IP?

In Setup Wizard of the Web utility interface, select

“Dynamic IP” connection type and click “Save” to
activate it. As some ISPs bind the user computer’s MAC
address, you need to clone the Router’s WAN MAC
address to the bind21ing PC’s MAC address. Select
“MAC Address Clone” in “Advanced Setting” to input
your computer’s MAC address and click “Apply” to
activate it.

6、How to share my computer’s source with other users

in Internet？

If you want Internet users to access the internal server

via the Router such as e-mail server, Web, FTP, you can
configure the “Virtual Server” to come true.
Step 1: create your internal server, make sure the LAN
users can access these servers and know related service
port. For example, Web server’s port is 80; FTP is 21;
SMTP is 25 and POP3 is 110.
Step 2: in the Router’s web click “Virtual Server” and
select “Single Port Forwarding”.
Step 3: input the external service port given by the
Router, for example, 80.
111
 11N Wireless Broadband Router

Step 4: input the internal Web service port, for

example, 80.
Step 5: Input the internal server’s IP address. If your
Web server’s IP address is 192.168.0.10, please input
it.
Step 6: select the communication protocol used by your
internal host: TCP, UDP, ICMP.
Step 7: click “Apply” to activate the settings.
