UDP, or Both. Finally, type in the Destination Address, which is the IP address of the client on your
private network that you want to be accessible from the public Internet.

It is possible to select if the router should do the port-forwarding on either the Direct IP Interface or
on PPTP connection if available.

It is also possible to forward incoming GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) traffic to a single host.

Click on Add when you are finished.
Note: By default, no traffic is permitted inwards if the request is initiated by an external user.
However, clients on your private network can always access the public Internet.
Click on Restart for the changes to take effect.

3.5.4

UPnP

The settings for Universal Plug and Play.
The router supports Universal Plug and Play. UPnP is a feature that enables client application on
devices behind the router to automatically trigger the opening of TCP/UDP ports through the
firewall in the router. UPNP will only work on the Direct IP interface, it will not work on PPTP
interfaces.
As a security precaution, this feature is disabled by default and can be enabled manually.

3.5.5

Hosts

To view the current list of connected devices, click on "Show Hosts on LAN". The list will present
the IP addresses along with their corresponding unique hardware (MAC) addresses.

As certain devices on your LAN might require a familiar representation (such as
"server.mynetwork.com"), you can pair the LAN IP address of that computer to
"server.mynetwork.com". This means that if you try to surf to http://server.mynetwork.com from
another computer on the same network, the router will redirect you locally to that specific computer.

WLAN

This menu will provide you the possibility to view/modify the Wireless LAN (WLAN) Settings.

3.6.1

WLAN Settings

Here are the settings for the wireless network.
Wireless Band drop-down menu lets you choose what wireless standard to use in your private
network. Possible choices are 802.11b with a maximum transfer rate of 11Mbps, 802.11g with a
maximum transfer rate of 54Mbps, 802.11n with a maximum transfer rate of 300Mbps or 802.11b
+g+n if you have clients with mixed types of network cards.

Channel drop-down menu lets you change the radio channel for the wireless communication. This
is useful if you experience poor performance that could be as a result of interference from other
wireless devices.If Auto is selected, the router will automatically determine which channel it should
select.

Bandwidth drop-down menu will be enabled whenever 802.11b+g+n or 802.11n is selected as the
Wireless Band. By default, 20MHz is selected as it ensures the best compatibility with client
devices. When selecting 40MHz, a second channel is enabled which can increase throughput for
compatible 802.11n which also support 40MHz. Please note that by selecting 40MHz, you might
experience incompatibility with certain devices. In such case, please use 20MHz.

The 2nd Channel drop-down menu will be available once the Bandwidth has been manually set to
40MHz. From there, you can appoint the placement of the secondary channel to be located either
below or above the primary channel. Please note that when using 40MHz, the gap between two
bonded channel points is equivalent to 4 numbered channels. Therefore, if selecting channel 6, the
paired channel will either be 2 or 10, depending on your selection of placement.
