manual abstract
For example, for DynDNS.org, select 3. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box. 4. Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider. 5. Type the host name (or domain name) that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you. 6. Type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account. This is the name that you use to log in to your account, not your host name. 7. Type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account. 8. If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can select the Use Wildcards check box to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org. 9. Click Apply to save your configuration. Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to add static routes. You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network. As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case: • Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. • You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100. • Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0. When you first configured your router, two implicit static 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 this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your 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 router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN 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 router at 192.168.1.100. • A metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN. • Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated. 1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Static Routes 2. Click Add to display the following screen: 3. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.) 4. 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 to make this route effective. 6. Type the destination IP address of the final destination. 7. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. 8. Type the gateway IP address, which has to be a router on the same LAN segment as the R6200 WiFi Router. 9. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value. This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. 10. Click Apply to add the static route. The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your R6200 WiFi Router over the Internet. 1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Remote Management. Note: Be sure to change the router’s default login password to a secure password. The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains upper-case and lower-case letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters. 2. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box. 3. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to access the router’s remote management. Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical. • To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. • 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 any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. 4. Specify the port number for accessing the 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. 5. Click Apply so that your changes take effect. 6. When you acces your router from the Internet, type your router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the cust...
