LAN Settings

Here you can alter the settings of the LAN Interface of your router.
IP address: is the IP address your router has on the local network, default address is
192.168.254.1 all clients will get IP addresses corresponding to this address
Subnet Mask: Here you can alter the Subnet Mask which the router should use on its LAN
Interface, the default subnet is 255.255.255.0
Note: If you change the subnet mask the router will reset several settings. Such as VPN, DHCP
and Port Forwarding.
3.3.2 DHCP
DHCP Server allows you to enable or disable the built-in DHCP server.
When enabled, all clients on your private network will automatically obtain an IP address from the
range specified under Client IP Address Range. When disabled you have to manually enter an IP
address into each client.
Client Network Information allows you to set a domain name for the router and specify an additional
DNS server.
Static Address Assignment: Can be used when you want a client to obtain the same IP address
each time it logs on to your network. Select how you want to identify the client, either by hostname
or MAC address. Type in the hostname or the MAC address under Host Identifier and finally, set
the desired IP address under Internal Address.
Please make sure not to assign the IP address of the router to any of the clients.
Click on Add and then Save DHCP Settings when you are finished.

Port Forwarding

Port Forwarding to LAN lets you specify which ports clients on the public Internet shall be able to
communicate through, to clients on your private network. Reserved Ports is a list of ports that
cannot be used to access your private network from the public Internet.
Under Port Range, select a range (any range that does not contain the ports listed under Reserved
Ports) from 1-65535. Select the type of traffic that should be let through on these ports, TCP or
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.
It is also possible to forward incoming GRE (Generic Routing Encapsulation) / IPSEC traffic to a
single host.
Note: By default,clients on your private network can always access the public Internet. However
clients on the public Internet can not access your private network
3.3.4 UPnP
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.
