FCC Radiation Exposure Statement This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 centimeters between the radiator and your body. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:

(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and

(2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. The antennas used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20 cm from all persons. Channel The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference. In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.

The MBR814X router is a combination of a wireless broadband modem, router, 4-port switch, and firewall which enables your entire network to safely share an Internet connection. Note: f you are unfamiliar with networking and routing, refer to the link to the document Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B to become more familiar with the terms and procedures used in this manual. About the Router The Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X provides continuous, high-speed 10/100 Ethernet access between your Ethernet devices. The MBR814X router enables your entire network to share an Internet connection through the wireless broadband modem that otherwise is used by a single computer. With minimum setup, you can install and use the router within minutes. The MBR814X router provides multiple Web content filtering options, plus e-mail browsing activity, reporting, and instant alerts. Parents and network administrators can establish restricted access policies based on time of day, Web site addresses, and address keywords. They can also share high-speed Internet access for up to 253 personal computers. The included firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) features protect you from hackers. Key Features 802.11g standards-based wireless networking. The MBR814X router provides the following features:

A powerful, true firewall. Content filtering. Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink LAN Ethernet connections. Easy, Web-based setup for installation and management. v1.0, January 2006 2-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Extensive Internet protocol support. A card slot with PC card for wireless broadband access. These features are discussed below. 802.11 g Standards-based wireless networking at up to 100 Mbps. 802.11 Standards-based Wireless Networking The MBR814X router includes an 802.11 g-compliant wireless access point, providing continuous, high-speed 10/100 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The access point provides:

Works with both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless devices. WEP keys can be entered manually or generated by passphrase. Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address. Support for the Wi-FI Protected Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) encryption. 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security. A Powerful, True Firewall Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the MBR814X is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

Denial of Service (DoS) protection Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing. Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN. Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits. Logs security incidents The MBR814X will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the router to email the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the router to send immediate alert messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs. Content Filtering With its content filtering feature, the MBR814X prevents objectionable content from reaching your computers. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the router to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites. 2-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink LAN Ethernet Connections With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the MBR814X can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The router incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each local Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a normal connection such as to a computer or an uplink connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. Protocol Support The MBR814X supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B for further information on TCP/IP. The Ability to Enable or Disable IP Address Sharing by NAT The MBR814X allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider

(ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account. This feature can also be turned off completely while using the MBR814X if you want to manage the IP address scheme yourself. Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP The MBR814X dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, router, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network. DNS Proxy When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The router obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN. Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when your IP address is not permanently assigned. The router contains a client that can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address. v1.0, January 2006 2-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility between networking technologies. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses with a seamless way to participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer services. Easy Installation and Management You can install, configure, and operate the MBR814X within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:

Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your router from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface. Remote management The router allows you to log in to the Web management interface from a remote location via the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses, and you can choose a nonstandard port number. Diagnostic functions The router incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and remote reboot. These functions allow you to test Internet connectivity and reboot the router. You can use these diagnostic functions directly from the MBR814 when you are connected on the LAN or when you are connected over the Internet via the remote management function. Visual monitoring The routers front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity. Flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) for firmware upgrades. Whats in the Box?

To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the routers Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page. The following chapters describe how to configure the Advanced features of your router, and how to troubleshoot problems that may occur. v1.0, January 2006 3-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection You can configure your router using the Basic Setup menu shown to the right, or you can allow the Setup Wizard to determine your configuration as described in the previous section. 1. Set the WAN IP Address:

Select Get Dynamically from ISP if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP will automatically assign these addresses. Select Use Static IP Address if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the IP Subnet Mask and the Gateway IP Address. The gateway is the ISPs router to which your router will connect. Figure 3-5 2. Specify the Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:

Select Get Dynamically from ISP if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP will automatically assign this address. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select Use these DNS servers and enter the IP address of your ISPs Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of one or two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. 3. You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this router. 3-8 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the MBR814 uses. Classical routing should be selected only by experienced users. Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the MBR814X configuration settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the MBR814X in a setting where you will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router. 4. Router MAC Address:

This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the router on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that computer by cloning its MAC address. To change the MAC address, select Use this Computers MAC address. The router will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Alternatively, select Use this MAC address and enter it. 5. Click Apply to save your settings. 6. Click the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR Web site does not appear within one minute, refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting. v1.0, January 2006 3-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 3-10 v1.0, January 2006 Chapter 4 Wireless Configuration This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. Considerations for a Wireless Network In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should also select the physical placement of your router in order to maximize the network speed. For further information, refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. To ensure proper compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region must be set correctly. Observe Performance, Placement, and Range Guidelines The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless firewall. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption also vary depending on your configuration choices. Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range/

performance specifications, please see Appendix A, Technical Specifications. For best results, place your firewall:

Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls) Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and cordless phones With the antenna tight and in the upright position Away from large metal surfaces v1.0, January 2006 4-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer. Implement Appropriate Wireless Security Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside of your immediate area to access your network. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The MBR814X router provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. MBR814X Wireless Data Security Options Range: Up to 300 Feet 1) Open System: Easy but no security 2) MAC Access List: No data security 3) WEP: Security but some performance impact Figure 4-1: MBR814X wireless data security options There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:

Restrict Access Based on MAC Address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the MBR814X. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name SSID. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network discovery feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed. 4-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper. WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. Understanding Wireless Settings To configure the Wireless interface of your router, click the Wireless link in the main menu of the browser interface. The Wireless Settings menu opens, as shown below:

Figure 4-2: Wireless Settings menu v1.0, January 2006 4-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X The following parameters are in the Wireless Settings menu:

Wireless Network. Name (SSID). The Service Set ID, also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is NETGEAR, but NETGEAR strongly recommends that you change your network Name to a different value. Note: This value is case sensitive. For example, Wireless is not the same as wireless. Region. Select your region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region of operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the router in a region other than the region shown here. Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. Mode. The default is "g & b", which allows both "g" and "b" wireless stations to access this device. g only allows only 802.11g wireless stations to be used. b only allows 802.11b wireless stations; 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in 802.11b mode. Wireless Access Point. Enable Wireless Access Point. This field lets you turn off or turn on the wireless access point built in to the router. The wireless icon on the front of the router will also display the current status of the Wireless Access Point to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. The wireless access point must be enabled to allow wireless stations to access the Internet. Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID). If enabled, the SSID is broadcast to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point. Wireless Isolation. If enabled, Wireless Stations will not be able to communicate with each other or with Stations on the wired network. This feature should normally be disabled. Wireless Station Access List. 4-4 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X By default, any wireless computer that is configured with the correct wireless network name or SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only specific computers based on their MAC addresses. Click Setup Access List to display the Wireless Station Access List menu. Security Options Table 4-1. Wireless Security Options Field Disable WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Description Wireless security is not used. You can select the following WEP options:

Authentication Type Open: the MBR814X does not perform any authentication. Shared: WEP shared key authentication. For a full explanation of WEP shared key, see the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. Encryption Strength If Shared or Open Network Authentication is enabled, you can choose 64- or 128-bit WEP data encryption. Note: With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the MBR814X does perform 64- or 128-bit data encryption but does not perform any authentication. Security Encryption (WEP) Key These key values must be identical on all wireless devices in your network (key 1 must be the same for all, key 2 must be the same for all, and so on). The MBR814X provides two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:

Passphrase. These characters are case sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. Note: Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation. Manual. These values are not case sensitive. 64-bit WEP: enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 128-bit WEP: enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). WPA-PSK

(Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a pre-shared key to perform the authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then, it dynamically varies the encryption key. For a full explanation of WPA, see the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. v1.0, January 2006 4-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs. 1. Log in to the MBR814X firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the MBR814X firewall. 3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box, enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is Wireless. Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the MBR814X. 4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate. 5. Set the Channel. The default channel is 11. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies please refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. 6. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to allow everyone access by making sure that Turn Access Control On is not selected in the Wireless Station Access List. In addition, leave the Encryption Strength set to Disabled. 7. Click Apply to save your changes. Note: If you are configuring the firewall from a wireless computer and you change the firewalls SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the firewalls new settings. 8. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity. 4-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the firewall. Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the firewall, you can configure the advanced wireless security functions of the firewall. How to Restricting Wireless Access to Your Network By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X provides several ways to restrict wireless access to your network:

Restrict access based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID) Restrict access based on the Wireless Card Access List These options are discussed below. Turn off wireless connectivity completely Figure 4-3 Restricting Access to Your Network by Turning Off Wireless Connectivity You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the MBR814X. For example, if your notebook computer is used to wirelessly connect to your router and you take a business trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who use computers connected to the router via Ethernet cables will still be able to use the router. Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID) The MBR814X can restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name (SSID). However, by default, this feature is turned off. If you turn this feature on, wireless devices will not see your MBR814X. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) you configure in the MBR814X router. Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the MBR814X. v1.0, January 2006 4-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Station Access List This list determines which wireless hardware devices will be allowed to connect to the firewall. To restrict access based on MAC addresses, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the MBR814X firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. From the Wireless Settings menu, Wireless Station Access List section, click the Setup Access List button to display the list, shown below:

Figure 4-4 3. Select the Turn Access Control On check box to enable restricting wireless computers by their MAC addresses. If the wireless station is currently connected to the network, you can select it from the Available Wireless Stations list. Click Add to add the station to the Trusted Wireless Stations list. If the wireless station is not currently connected, you can enter its address manually. Enter the MAC address of the authorized computer. The MAC address is usually printed on the wireless card, or it may appear in the routers DHCP table. The MAC address will be 12 hexadecimal digits. 4. 5. 4-8 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Click Add to add your entry. You can add several stations to the list, but the entries will be discarded if you do not click Apply. Note: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the routers Attached Devices menu into the MAC Address box of this menu. To do this, configure each wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the router. The computer should then appear in the Attached Devices menu. Note: If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not in the Trusted Wireless Stations list, and you select Trusted Wireless Stations only, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the router from a wired computer to make any further changes. 6. Make sure the Turn Access Control On check box is selected, then click Apply. Now, only devices on this list will be allowed to wirelessly connect to the MBR814X. This prevents unauthorized access to your network. Choosing WEP Authentication and Security Encryption Methods Figure 4-5 v1.0, January 2006 4-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Restricting wireless access prevents intruders from connecting to your network. However, the wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEP data encryption settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on your wireless data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as purchases or banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL. You can tell if a web site is using SSL because the web address begins with HTTPS rather than HTTP. Authentication Type Selection The MBR814X lets you select the following wireless authentication schemes. Automatic Open System Shared key Note: The authentication scheme is separate from the data encryption. You can choose an authentication scheme which requires a shared key but still leave the data transmissions unencrypted. If you require strong security, use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption settings. Set your wireless adapter according to the authentication scheme you choose for the MBR814X router. Please refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B for a full explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11g wireless communication standard. Encryption Choices Please refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B for a full explanation of each of the following choices, as defined by the IEEE 802.11g wireless communication standard. Choose the encryption strength from the drop-down list:

Disable No encryption will be applied. This setting is useful for troubleshooting your wireless connection, but leaves your wireless data fully exposed. 64 or 128 bit WEP When 64 Bit WEP or 128 Bit WEP is selected, WEP encryption will be applied. If WEP is enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network. There are two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:

Passphrase. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. 4-10 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Manual. 64-bit WEP: Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 128-bit WEP: Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). Select the radio button for the key you want to make active. How to Configure WEP To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the MBR814X firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the MBR814X router. 3. Go to the Security Encryption portion of the page:

Figure 4-6 4. Select the Authentication Type. 5. Select the Encryption setting. 6. Enter the encryption keys. You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and Access Points in your network. Automatic enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values. Manual enter hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). Select which of the four keys will be active. v1.0, January 2006 4-11 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 7. Select the radio button for the key you want to make active. Be sure you clearly understand how the WEP key settings are configured in your wireless adapter. Wireless adapter configuration utilities such as the one included in Windows XP only allow entry of one key which must match the default key you set in the MBR814X. 8. Click Apply to save your settings. Note: When configuring the router from a wireless computer, if you configure WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then either configure your wireless adapter to match the router WEP settings or access the router from a wired computer to make any further changes. How to Configure WPA-PSK Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring WPA settings. To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:

1. Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1, with the default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click Wireless Settings in the Setup section of the main menu of the MBR814X. 3. Choose the WPA-PSK radio button. The WPA-PSK menu will open. 4. Enter the pre-shared key in the Passphrase field. 5. Click Apply to save your settings. 4-12 v1.0, January 2006 Chapter 5 Protecting Your Network This chapter describes how to use the basic firewall features of the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X to protect your network. Protecting Access to Your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect. When prompted, enter admin for the router User Name and password for the router Password. You can use procedures below to change the router's password and the amount of time for the administrators login timeout. Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your may use to log in to your Internet connection. NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. How to Change the Built-In Password 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. Figure 5-1 v1.0, January 2006 5-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 2. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to bring up the Set Password dialog box. Figure 5-2 3. To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. 4. Click Apply to save your changes. Note: After changing the password, you will be required to log in again to continue the configuration. If you have backed up the router settings previously, you should do a new backup so that the saved settings file includes the new password. Changing the Administrator Login Timeout For security, the administrator's login to the router configuration will timeout after a period of inactivity. To change the login timeout period:

1. In the Set Password dialog box, type a number in Administrator login times out field. The suggested default value is 5 minutes. 2. Click Apply to save your changes or click Cancel to keep the current period. Configuring Basic Firewall Services Basic firewall services you can configure include access blocking and scheduling of firewall security. These topics are presented below. 5-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Blocking Keywords, Sites, and Services The router provides a variety of options for blocking Internet based content and communications services. With its content filtering feature, the MBR814X router prevents objectionable content from reaching your PCs. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web addresses. Key content filtering options include:

Keyword blocking of HTTP traffic. Outbound Service Blocking limits access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits. Denial of Service (DoS) protection. Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service

(DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing. Blocking unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN. The section below explains how to configure your router to perform these functions. How to Block Keywords and Sites The MBR814X router allows you to restrict access to Internet content based on functions such as Web addresses and Web address keywords. 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. v1.0, January 2006 5-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 2. Select the Block Sites link of the Security menu. Figure 5-3 3. To enable keyword blocking, select one of the following:

Per Scheduleto turn on keyword blocking according to the settings on the Schedule page. Alwaysto turn on keyword blocking all of the time, independent of the Schedule page. 4. Enter a keyword or domain in the Keyword box, click Add Keyword, then click Apply. Some examples of Keyword application follow:

If the keyword XXX is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked. If the keyword .com is specified, only Web sites with other domain suffixes (such as

.edu or .gov) can be viewed. Enter the keyword . to block all Internet browsing access. Up to 32 entries are supported in the Keyword list. 5. To delete a keyword or domain, select it from the list, click Delete Keyword, then click Apply. 6. To specify a trusted user, enter that computers IP address in the Trusted IP Address box and click Apply. 5-4 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X You can specify one trusted user, which is a computer that will be exempt from blocking and logging. Since the trusted user will be identified by an IP address, you should configure that computer with a fixed IP address. 7. Click Apply to save your settings. Firewall Rules Inbound: Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side. Firewall rules are used to block or allow specific traffic passing through from one side of the router to the other. Inbound rules (WAN to LAN) restrict access by outsiders to private resources, selectively allowing only specific outside users to access specific resources. Outbound rules (LAN to WAN) determine what outside resources local users can have access to. A firewall has two default rules, one for inbound traffic and one for outbound. The default rules of the MBR814X are:

Outbound: Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside. You can define additional rules that will specify exceptions to the default rules. By adding custom rules, you can block or allow access based on the service or application, source or destination IP addresses, and time of day. You can also choose to log traffic that matches or does not match the rule you have defined. You can change the order of precedence of rules so that the rule that applies most often will take effect first. See Order of Precedence for Rules on page 5-11 for more details. v1.0, January 2006 5-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X To access the rules configuration of the MBR814X, click the Firewall Rules link on the main menu, then click Add for either an Outbound or Inbound Service. Figure 5-4 To edit an existing rule, select its button on the left side of the table and click Edit. To delete an existing rule, select its button on the left side of the table and click Delete. To move an existing rule to a different position in the table, select its button on the left side of the table and click Move. At the script prompt, enter the number of the desired new position and click OK. Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding) Because the MBR814X uses Network Address Translation (NAT), your network presents only one IP address to the Internet, and outside users cannot directly address any of your local computers. However, by defining an inbound rule you can make a local server (for example, a Web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet. The rule tells the router to direct inbound traffic for a particular service to one local server based on the destination port number. This is also known as port forwarding. Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the Acceptable Use Policy of your ISP. 5-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your firewall. Only enable those ports that are necessary for your network. Following are two application examples of inbound rules:

Inbound Rule Example: A Local Public Web Server If you host a public Web server on your local network, you can define a rule to allow inbound Web

(HTTP) requests from any outside IP address to the IP address of your Web server at any time of day. This rule is shown below:

Figure 5-5 The parameters are:

Service From this list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list already displays many common services, but you are not limited to these choices. Use the Services menu to add any additional services or applications that do not already appear. Action Choose how you want this type of traffic to be handled. You can block or allow always, or you can choose to block or allow according to the schedule you have defined in the Schedule menu. Send to LAN Server Enter the IP address of the computer or server on your LAN which will receive the inbound traffic covered by this rule. WAN Users These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on their source (WAN) IP address. Select the desired option:

v1.0, January 2006 5-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Any all IP addresses are covered by this rule. Address range if this option is selected, you must enter the Start and Finish fields. Single address enter the required address in the Start field. Log You can select whether the traffic will be logged. The choices are:

Never no log entries will be made for this service. Always any traffic for this service type will be logged. Match traffic of this type which matches the parameters and action will be logged. Not match traffic of this type which does not match the parameters and action will be logged. Inbound Rule Example: Allowing Videoconferencing If you want to allow incoming videoconferencing to be initiated from a restricted range of outside IP addresses, such as from a branch office, you can create an inbound rule. In the example shown in Figure 5-6, CU-SeeMe connections are allowed only from a specified range of external IP addresses. In this case, we have also specified logging of any incoming CU-SeeMe requests that do not match the allowed parameters. Figure 5-6 5-8 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Considerations for Inbound Rules If your external IP address is assigned dynamically by your ISP, the IP address may change periodically as the DHCP lease expires. Consider using the Dynamic DNS feature in the Advanced menu so that external users can always find your network. If the IP address of the local server computer is assigned by DHCP, it may change when the computer is rebooted. To avoid this, use the Reserved IP address feature in the LAN IP menu to keep the computers IP address constant. Local computers must access the local server using the computers local LAN address

(192.168.0.11 in the example in Figure 5-6 above). Attempts by local computers to access the server using the external WAN IP address will fail. Outbound Rules (Service Blocking) The MBR814X allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by computers on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. You can define an outbound rule to block Internet access from a local computer based on:

Following is an application example of outbound rules:

IP address of the local computer (source address) IP address of the Internet site being contacted (destination address) Time of day Type of service being requested (service port number) v1.0, January 2006 5-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Outbound Rule Example: Blocking Instant Messenger If you want to block Instant Messenger usage by employees during working hours, you can create an outbound rule to block that application from any internal IP address to any external address according to the schedule that you have created in the Schedule menu. You can also have the router log any attempt to use Instant Messenger during that blocked period. Figure 5-7 The parameters are:

Service From this list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list already displays many common services, but you are not limited to these choices. Use the Add Custom Service feature to add any additional services or applications that do not already appear. Action Choose how you want this type of traffic to be handled. You can block or allow always, or you can choose to block or allow according to the schedule you have defined in the Schedule menu. LAN Users These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on their source LAN IP address. Select the desired option:

Any all IP addresses are covered by this rule. Address range if this option is selected, you must enter the Start and Finish fields. 5-10 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Single address enter the required address in the Start field. WAN Users These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on their destination WAN IP address. Select the desired option:

Any all IP addresses are covered by this rule. Address range if this option is selected, you must enter the Start and Finish fields. Single address enter the required address in the Start field. Log You can select whether the traffic will be logged. The choices are:

Never no log entries will be made for this service. Always any traffic for this service type will be logged. Match traffic of this type that matches the parameters and action will be logged. Not match traffic of this type that does not match the parameters and action will be logged. Order of Precedence for Rules As you define new rules, they are added to the Rules table:

Figure 5-8 v1.0, January 2006 5-11 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X For any traffic attempting to pass through the firewall, the packet information is subjected to the rules in the order shown in the Rules Table, beginning at the top and proceeding to the default rules at the bottom. In some cases, the order of precedence of two or more rules may be important in determining the disposition of a packet. The Move button allows you to relocate a defined rule to a new position in the table. Services Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, Assigned Numbers. Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of the application. Although the MBR814X already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. Use the procedure below to create your own service definitions. How to Define Services 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. On the Security menu select the Services link to go to the Service page:

Enter the name or IP address of your ISPs outgoing (SMTP) mail server (such as mail.myISP.com). You may be able to find this information in the configuration menu of your e-mail program. Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts are sent. This e-mail address will also be used as the From address. If you leave this box blank, log and alert messages will not be sent via e-mail. Send alert immediately. Select the corresponding check box if you would like immediate notification of a significant security event, such as a known attack, port scan, or attempted access to a blocked site. Send logs according to this schedule. Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Full. Day for sending log Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent weekly or daily. Time for sending log Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly. v1.0, January 2006 6-13 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent, it is cleared from the routers memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log buffer may fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents. Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Router The MBR814X router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the diagnostics menu to perform the following functions from the router:

Ping an IP Address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. Perform a DNS Lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the DNS server configuration is working. Display the Routing Table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with. Reboot the router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems with the routers network connection. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Router Diagnostics heading to display the menu shown below:

Figure 6-10 6-14 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Enabling Remote Management Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure, upgrade and check the status of your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. Note: Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. Configuring Remote Management 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. From the Advanced section of the main menu, select the Remote Management link. 3. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box. 4. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the routers remote management. For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical:

To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. 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 a single IP address on the Internet, select Only this Computer. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. 5. Specify the Port Number that will be used for accessing the management interface. Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP. 6. Click Apply to have your changes take effect. v1.0, January 2006 6-15 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X When accessing your router from the Internet, you will type your router's WAN IP address in your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, 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 in your browser:

http://134.177.0.123:8080 Note: In this case, the http:// must be included in the address. 6-16 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X v1.0, January 2006 6-17 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 6-18 v1.0, January 2006 Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. Configuring Advanced Security Setting up a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Server The Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X provides a variety of advanced features, such as:

Connecting Automatically, as Required Disabling Port Scan and DOS Protection Responding to a Ping on the Internet WAN Port MTU Size Using the Router as a DHCP Server Configuring Static Routes These features are discussed below. Flexibility on configuring your LAN TCP/IP settings Setting Up A Default DMZ Server The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computers IP address is entered as the Default DMZ Server. Note: For security reasons, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature. When a computer is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Server. How to Configure a Default DMZ Server To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. From the main menu, under Advanced, click the WAN Setup link to view the page shown below:

Figure 7-1 3. Select the Default DMZ Server check box. 4. Type the IP address for that server. 5. Click Apply to save your changes. Connect Automatically, as Required Normally, this option should be enabled, so that an Internet connection will be made automatically, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this causes high connection costs, you can disable this setting. If disabled, you must connect manually, using the sub-screen accessed from the "Connection Status" button on the Status screen. 7-2 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X If you have an Always on connection, this setting has no effect. Disable Port Scan and DOS Protection The Firewall protects your LAN against Port Scans and Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. This should be disabled only in special circumstances. Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port If you want the router to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, select the Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this box unless you have a specific reason to do so. MTU Size The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you may need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection. Configuring LAN IP Settings The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the main menu of the browser interface. The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The routers default LAN IP configuration is:

LAN IP addresses192.168.0.1 Subnet mask255.255.255.0 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)-designated private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu. Figure 7-2 The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:

IP Address This is the LAN IP address of the router. IP Subnet Mask This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router. RIP Direction RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default. When set to Both or Out Only, the router will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives. When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received. RIP Version This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1. 7-4 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting. Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. DHCP By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. Use Router as DHCP server If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use router as DHCP server check box. Otherwise, leave it selected. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the routers LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you may want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses. The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

otherwise, the routers LAN IP address Secondary DNS Server, if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu WINS Server, short for Windows Internet Naming Service Server, determines the IP address associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list of names and IP address of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the servers IP address here. This allows your PCs to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows. Reserved IP addresses When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always receive the same IP address each time it access the routers DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. To reserve an IP address:

1. Click the Add button. 2. In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an IP address from the routers LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x. 3. Type the MAC Address of the computer or server. Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC address from the Attached Devices menu and paste it here. 4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table. Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer contacts the router's DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew. To edit or delete a reserved address entry:

1. Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete. 2. Click Edit or Delete. How to Configure LAN TCP/IP Settings 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 7-6 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 2. From the main menu, under Advanced, click the LAN IP Setup link to go to the LAN IP Setup page:

.Enter the TCP/IP, DHCP, or Reserved IP parameters. 3. 4. Click Apply to save your changes. Using Static Routes Static Routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network. Static Route Example 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 routers address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100. Your companys network is 134.177.0.0. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the companys firewall. In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route would look like Figure 7-4, below. 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 Router IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is a direct connection so it is set to 1. Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated. How to Configure Static Routes 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click Static Routes. Figure 7-4 3. To add or edit a Static Route:

7-8 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X a. Click the Edit button to open the Edit menu. Figure 7-5 b. Type a route name for this static route in the Route Name box under the table. This is for identification purpose only. c. Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. d. Select Active to make this route effective. e. Type the Destination IP Address of the final destination. f. Type the IP Subnet Mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. g. Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router. h. Type a number between 1 and 15 as the Metric value. This 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. 4. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network. 1. Click UPnP on the main menu:

Figure 7-6 2. Fill out the UPnP screen:

Turn UPnP On: UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If disabled, the Router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the Router. Advertisement Period: The Advertisement Period is how often the Router will advertise

(broadcast) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is for 30 minutes. Shorter durations will ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations may compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic. Advertisement Time To Live: The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops

(steps) for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then it may be necessary to increase this value a little. 7-10 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X UPnP Portmap Table: The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the Router and which ports (Internal and External) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address. 3. To save, cancel or refresh the table:

a. Click Apply to save the new settings to the Router. b. Click Cancel to disregard any unsaved changes. c. Click Refresh to update the portmap table and to show the active ports that are currently opened by UPnP devices. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-11 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 7-12 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Chapter 8 Troubleshooting This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. After each problem description, instructions are provided to help you diagnose and solve the problem. For the common problems listed, go to the section indicated. Have I connected the router correctly?

Is the router on?

Go to Basic Functioning on page 8-1. I cant access the routers configuration with my browser. Go to Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface on page 8-3. Ive configured the router but I cant access the Internet. Go to Troubleshooting the ISP Connection on page 8-4. I cant remember the routers configuration password. I want to clear the configuration and start over again. Go to Restoring the Default Configuration and Password on page 8-7. Basic Functioning After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:

1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on (see The Routers Front Panel on page 2-5 for an illustration and explanation of the LEDs). 2. Verify that the Test LED lights within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test procedure is running. 3. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:

a. The Test LED is not lit. b. The LAN port LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected. c. The WAN port LED is lit. v1.0, January 2006 8-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X If a ports LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the ports LED is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the LED will be amber. If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section. Power LED Not On If the Power and other LEDs are off when your router is turned on:

Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support. Test LED Never Turns On or Test LED Stays On When the router is turned on, the Test LED turns on for about 10 seconds and then turns off. If the Test LED does not turn on, or if it stays on, there is a fault within the router. If you experience problems with the Test LED:

Cycle the power to see if the router recovers and the LED blinks for the correct amount of time. If all LEDs including the Test LED are still on one minute after power up:

Cycle the power to see if the router recovers. Clear the routers configuration to factory defaults. This will set the routers IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Using the Reset button on page 8-7. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support. LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On If either the LAN LEDs or WAN LED do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following:

Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation. Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation. Be sure the wireless broadband PC card is inserted properly. 8-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface If you are unable to access the routers Web Configuration interface from a computer on your local network, check the following:

If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the previous section. Make sure your computers IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computers address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. Refer to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B to configure your computer. Note: If your computers IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:

Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the router and reboot your computer. If your routers IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the routers configuration to factory defaults. This will set the routers IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Using the Reset button on page 8-7. Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Try quitting the browser and launching it again. Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this information. Saving Changes If the router does not save changes you have made in the Web Configuration Interface, check the following:

When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the APPLY button before moving to another menu or tab, or your changes are lost. Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but the Web browser may be caching the old configuration. v1.0, January 2006 8-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Troubleshooting the ISP Connection If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should check the broadband connection, then the WAN TCP/IP connection. Wireless Broadband Link If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you have broadband wireless coverage in your area. The state of this connection is indicated with the WAN LED. Internet LED Green or Blinking Green If your Internet LED is green or blinking green, then you have a good broadband connection. You can be confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is correct. Internet LED Off If the Internet LED is off, disconnect the power to the router. Ensure the wireless broadband PC card is inserted properly and re-connect the power to the router. If the problem persists, the wireless coverage in your area may be poor or the PC card may be defective. Obtaining an Internet IP Address If your router is unable to access the internet, and your Internet LED is green or blinking green, you should determine whether the router is able to obtain a Internet IP address from the ISP. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address, your router must request an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the browser interface. To check the WAN IP address from the browser interface:

1. Launch your browser and select an external site such as www.netgear.com. 2. Access the main menu of the routers configuration at http://192.168.0.1. 3. Under the Maintenance heading check that an IP address is shown for the WAN Port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP. If your router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem may be one of the following:

8-4 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Your ISP may check for your computer's host name. Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account to the router in the browser-based Setup Wizard. You have poor wireless coverage. Your ISP only allows one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and may check for your computers MAC address. In this case:

Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the routers MAC address. OR Configure your router to spoof your computers MAC address. This can be done in the Basic Settings menu. Refer to Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection on page 3-8. Troubleshooting Internet Browsing If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any Web pages from the Internet:

Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the routers configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address. See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation. Your computer may not have the router configured as its TCP/IP router. If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer and verify the router address as described in Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping Utility Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP network is made very easy by using the ping utility in your computer. v1.0, January 2006 8-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Testing the LAN Path to Your Router You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly. To ping the router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:

1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run. 2. In the field provided, type Ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:

ping 192.168.0.1 3. Click OK. You should see a message like this one:

Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data If the path is working, you see this message:

Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx If the path is not working, you see this message:

Request timed out If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:

Wrong physical connections Make sure the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On on page 8-2. Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and router. Wrong network configuration Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation. Verify that the IP address for your router and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet. Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device. From the Windows run menu, type:

PING -n 10 <IP address>

8-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISPs DNS server. If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies:

Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default router. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your PCs Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default router. See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B. Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device. Check that your wireless broadband PC card is installed properly. If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name in the Basic Settings menu. Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by only allowing traffic from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. Refer to Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection on page 3-8. Restoring the Default Configuration and Password This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the routers administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:

Use the Erase function of the Web Configuration Manager (see Backing Up, Restoring, or Erasing Your Settings on page 6-1). Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known. Using the Reset button To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. 1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds). 2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot. v1.0, January 2006 8-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Problems with Date and Time The E-mail menu in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The MBR814X router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include:

Date shown is January 1, 2000 Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time again. Time is off by one hour Cause: The router does not automatically sense Daylight Savings Time. In the E-mail menu, check or uncheck the box marked Adjust for Daylight Savings Time. 8-8 v1.0, January 2006 Appendix A Technical Specifications This appendix provides technical specifications for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X.

The MBR814X router is a combination of a wireless broadband modem, router, 4-port switch, and firewall which enables your entire network to safely share an Internet connection. Note: f you are unfamiliar with networking and routing, refer to the link to the document Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B to become more familiar with the terms and procedures used in this manual. About the Router The Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X provides continuous, high-speed 10/100 Ethernet access between your Ethernet devices. The MBR814X router enables your entire network to share an Internet connection through the wireless broadband modem that otherwise is used by a single computer. With minimum setup, you can install and use the router within minutes. The MBR814X router provides multiple Web content filtering options, plus e-mail browsing activity, reporting, and instant alerts. Parents and network administrators can establish restricted access policies based on time of day, Web site addresses, and address keywords. They can also share high-speed Internet access for up to 253 personal computers. The included firewall and Network Address Translation (NAT) features protect you from hackers. Key Features 802.11g standards-based wireless networking. The MBR814X router provides the following features:

A powerful, true firewall. Content filtering. Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink LAN Ethernet connections. Easy, Web-based setup for installation and management. v1.0, January 2006 2-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Extensive Internet protocol support. A card slot with PC card for wireless broadband access. These features are discussed below. 802.11 g Standards-based wireless networking at up to 100 Mbps. 802.11 Standards-based Wireless Networking The MBR814X router includes an 802.11 g-compliant wireless access point, providing continuous, high-speed 10/100 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet devices. The access point provides:

Works with both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless devices. WEP keys can be entered manually or generated by passphrase. Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address. Support for the Wi-FI Protected Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) encryption. 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security. A Powerful, True Firewall Unlike simple Internet sharing NAT routers, the MBR814X is a true firewall, using stateful packet inspection to defend against hacker attacks. Its firewall features include:

Denial of Service (DoS) protection Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service (DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing. Blocks unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN. Blocks access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits. Logs security incidents The MBR814X will log security events such as blocked incoming traffic, port scans, attacks, and administrator logins. You can configure the router to email the log to you at specified intervals. You can also configure the router to send immediate alert messages to your email address or email pager whenever a significant event occurs. Content Filtering With its content filtering feature, the MBR814X prevents objectionable content from reaching your computers. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web addresses. You can configure the router to log and report attempts to access objectionable Internet sites. 2-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink LAN Ethernet Connections With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the MBR814X can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation. The router incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each local Ethernet port will automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a normal connection such as to a computer or an uplink connection such as to a switch or hub. That port will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the right connection. Protocol Support The MBR814X supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B for further information on TCP/IP. The Ability to Enable or Disable IP Address Sharing by NAT The MBR814X allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider

(ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an inexpensive single-user ISP account. This feature can also be turned off completely while using the MBR814X if you want to manage the IP address scheme yourself. Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP The MBR814X dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, router, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration of PCs on your local network. DNS Proxy When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the router provides its own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The router obtains actual DNS addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN. Dynamic DNS Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when your IP address is not permanently assigned. The router contains a client that can connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address. v1.0, January 2006 2-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility between networking technologies. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses with a seamless way to participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer services. Easy Installation and Management You can install, configure, and operate the MBR814X within minutes after connecting it to the network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:

Browser-based management Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your router from almost any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web Management Interface. Remote management The router allows you to log in to the Web management interface from a remote location via the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access to a specified remote IP address or range of addresses, and you can choose a nonstandard port number. Diagnostic functions The router incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and remote reboot. These functions allow you to test Internet connectivity and reboot the router. You can use these diagnostic functions directly from the MBR814 when you are connected on the LAN or when you are connected over the Internet via the remote management function. Visual monitoring The routers front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity. Flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) for firmware upgrades. Whats in the Box?

Verify connectivity to the Internet by opening a browser or verify access to network resources such as files and printers. 3. Make any needed configuration changes to fit your wireless local area network (WLAN) such as setting up wireless security. The router is now properly attached to your network. You are now ready to configure your router to connect to the Internet. There are two ways you can configure your router to connect to the Internet:

Unless your ISP automatically assigns your configuration automatically via DHCP, you need the configuration parameters from your ISP you recorded in Record Your Internet Connection Information on page 3-3. 3-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Testing Your Internet Connection After completing the Internet connection configuration, your can test your Internet connection. Log in to the router, then, from the Basic Settings link in the Setup menu, click the Test button. If the NETGEAR Web site does not appear within one minute, refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting. Your router is now configured to provide Internet access for your network. Your router automatically connects to the Internet when one of your computers requires access. It is not necessary to run a dialer or login application such as Dial-Up Networking or Enternet to connect, log in, or disconnect. These functions are performed by the router as needed. To access the Internet from any computer connected to your router, launch a browser such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Netscape Navigator. You should see the routers Internet LED blink, indicating communication to the ISP. The browser should begin to display a Web page. The following chapters describe how to configure the Advanced features of your router, and how to troubleshoot problems that may occur. v1.0, January 2006 3-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection You can configure your router using the Basic Setup menu shown to the right, or you can allow the Setup Wizard to determine your configuration as described in the previous section. 1. Set the WAN IP Address:

Select Get Dynamically from ISP if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP will automatically assign these addresses. Select Use Static IP Address if your ISP has assigned you a permanent, fixed (static) IP address. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned. Also enter the IP Subnet Mask and the Gateway IP Address. The gateway is the ISPs router to which your router will connect. Figure 3-5 2. Specify the Domain Name Server (DNS) Address:

Select Get Dynamically from ISP if your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP will automatically assign this address. If you know that your ISP does not automatically transmit DNS addresses to the router during login, select Use these DNS servers and enter the IP address of your ISPs Primary DNS Server. If a Secondary DNS Server address is available, enter it also. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www.netgear.com) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP transfers the IP address of one or two DNS servers to your router during login. If the ISP does not transfer an address, you must obtain it from the ISP and enter it manually here. 3. You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is performed by this router. 3-8 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the MBR814 uses. Classical routing should be selected only by experienced users. Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the MBR814X configuration settings to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the MBR814X in a setting where you will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router. 4. Router MAC Address:

This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the router on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then only accept traffic from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your router to masquerade as that computer by cloning its MAC address. To change the MAC address, select Use this Computers MAC address. The router will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Alternatively, select Use this MAC address and enter it. 5. Click Apply to save your settings. 6. Click the Test button to test your Internet connection. If the NETGEAR Web site does not appear within one minute, refer to Chapter 8, Troubleshooting. v1.0, January 2006 3-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 3-10 v1.0, January 2006 Chapter 4 Wireless Configuration This chapter describes how to configure the wireless features of your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. Considerations for a Wireless Network In planning your wireless network, you should consider the level of security required. You should also select the physical placement of your router in order to maximize the network speed. For further information, refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. To ensure proper compliance and compatibility between similar products in your area, the operating channel and region must be set correctly. Observe Performance, Placement, and Range Guidelines The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the physical placement of the wireless firewall. The latency, data throughput performance, and notebook power consumption also vary depending on your configuration choices. Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or inability to wirelessly connect to the router. For complete range/

performance specifications, please see Appendix A, Technical Specifications. For best results, place your firewall:

Near the center of the area in which your computers will operate In an elevated location such as a high shelf where the wirelessly connected computers have line-of-sight access (even if through walls) Away from sources of interference, such as computers, microwaves, and cordless phones With the antenna tight and in the upright position Away from large metal surfaces v1.0, January 2006 4-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X The time it takes to establish a wireless connection can vary depending on both your security settings and placement. WEP connections can take slightly longer to establish. Also, WEP encryption can consume more battery power on a notebook computer. Implement Appropriate Wireless Security Note: Indoors, computers can connect over 802.11g wireless networks at a maximum range of up to 300 feet. Such distances can allow for others outside of your immediate area to access your network. Unlike wired network data, your wireless data transmissions can extend beyond your walls and can be received by anyone with a compatible adapter. For this reason, use the security features of your wireless equipment. The MBR814X router provides highly effective security features which are covered in detail in this chapter. Deploy the security features appropriate to your needs. MBR814X Wireless Data Security Options Range: Up to 300 Feet 1) Open System: Easy but no security 2) MAC Access List: No data security 3) WEP: Security but some performance impact Figure 4-1: MBR814X wireless data security options There are several ways you can enhance the security of your wireless network:

Restrict Access Based on MAC Address. You can allow only trusted PCs to connect so that unknown PCs cannot wirelessly connect to the MBR814X. Restricting access by MAC address adds an obstacle against unwanted access to your network, but the data broadcast over the wireless link is fully exposed. Turn Off the Broadcast of the Wireless Network Name SSID. If you disable broadcast of the SSID, only devices that have the correct SSID can connect. This nullifies wireless network discovery feature of some products, such as Windows XP, but the data is still exposed. 4-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X WEP. Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) data encryption provides data security. WEP Shared Key authentication and WEP data encryption will block all but the most determined eavesdropper. WPA-PSK. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) data encryption provides data security. The very strong authentication along with dynamic per frame re-keying of WPA make it virtually impossible to compromise. Because this is a new standard, wireless device driver and software availability may be limited. Understanding Wireless Settings To configure the Wireless interface of your router, click the Wireless link in the main menu of the browser interface. The Wireless Settings menu opens, as shown below:

Figure 4-2: Wireless Settings menu v1.0, January 2006 4-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X The following parameters are in the Wireless Settings menu:

Wireless Network. Name (SSID). The Service Set ID, also known as the wireless network name. Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is NETGEAR, but NETGEAR strongly recommends that you change your network Name to a different value. Note: This value is case sensitive. For example, Wireless is not the same as wireless. Region. Select your region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region of operation for which the wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the router in a region other than the region shown here. Channel. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point. Mode. The default is "g & b", which allows both "g" and "b" wireless stations to access this device. g only allows only 802.11g wireless stations to be used. b only allows 802.11b wireless stations; 802.11g wireless stations can still be used if they can operate in 802.11b mode. Wireless Access Point. Enable Wireless Access Point. This field lets you turn off or turn on the wireless access point built in to the router. The wireless icon on the front of the router will also display the current status of the Wireless Access Point to let you know if it is disabled or enabled. The wireless access point must be enabled to allow wireless stations to access the Internet. Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID). If enabled, the SSID is broadcast to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID (or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point. Wireless Isolation. If enabled, Wireless Stations will not be able to communicate with each other or with Stations on the wired network. This feature should normally be disabled. Wireless Station Access List. 4-4 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X By default, any wireless computer that is configured with the correct wireless network name or SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only specific computers based on their MAC addresses. Click Setup Access List to display the Wireless Station Access List menu. Security Options Table 4-1. Wireless Security Options Field Disable WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Description Wireless security is not used. You can select the following WEP options:

Authentication Type Open: the MBR814X does not perform any authentication. Shared: WEP shared key authentication. For a full explanation of WEP shared key, see the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. Encryption Strength If Shared or Open Network Authentication is enabled, you can choose 64- or 128-bit WEP data encryption. Note: With Open Network Authentication and 64- or 128-bit WEP Data Encryption, the MBR814X does perform 64- or 128-bit data encryption but does not perform any authentication. Security Encryption (WEP) Key These key values must be identical on all wireless devices in your network (key 1 must be the same for all, key 2 must be the same for all, and so on). The MBR814X provides two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:

Passphrase. These characters are case sensitive. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. Note: Not all wireless adapters support passphrase key generation. Manual. These values are not case sensitive. 64-bit WEP: enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 128-bit WEP: enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). WPA-PSK

(Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key) WPA Pre-Shared-Key uses a pre-shared key to perform the authentication and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then, it dynamically varies the encryption key. For a full explanation of WPA, see the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. v1.0, January 2006 4-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X How to Set Up and Test Basic Wireless Connectivity Follow the instructions below to set up and test basic wireless connectivity. Once you have established basic wireless connectivity, you can enable security settings appropriate to your needs. 1. Log in to the MBR814X firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the MBR814X firewall. 3. Choose a suitable descriptive name for the wireless network name (SSID). In the SSID box, enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The default SSID is Wireless. Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the MBR814X. 4. Set the Region. Select the region in which the wireless interface will operate. 5. Set the Channel. The default channel is 11. This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby wireless router or access point. Select a channel that is not being used by any other wireless networks within several hundred feet of your firewall. For more information on the wireless channel frequencies please refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B. 6. For initial configuration and test, leave the Wireless Card Access List set to allow everyone access by making sure that Turn Access Control On is not selected in the Wireless Station Access List. In addition, leave the Encryption Strength set to Disabled. 7. Click Apply to save your changes. Note: If you are configuring the firewall from a wireless computer and you change the firewalls SSID, channel, or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the firewalls new settings. 8. Configure and test your computers for wireless connectivity. 4-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Program the wireless adapter of your computers to have the same SSID and channel that you configured in the router. Check that they have a wireless link and are able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the firewall. Once your computers have basic wireless connectivity to the firewall, you can configure the advanced wireless security functions of the firewall. How to Restricting Wireless Access to Your Network By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID will be allowed access to your wireless network. For increased security, the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X provides several ways to restrict wireless access to your network:

Restrict access based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID) Restrict access based on the Wireless Card Access List These options are discussed below. Turn off wireless connectivity completely Figure 4-3 Restricting Access to Your Network by Turning Off Wireless Connectivity You can completely turn off the wireless portion of the MBR814X. For example, if your notebook computer is used to wirelessly connect to your router and you take a business trip, you can turn off the wireless portion of the router while you are traveling. Other members of your household who use computers connected to the router via Ethernet cables will still be able to use the router. Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Network Name (SSID) The MBR814X can restrict wireless access to your network by not broadcasting the wireless network name (SSID). However, by default, this feature is turned off. If you turn this feature on, wireless devices will not see your MBR814X. You must configure your wireless devices to match the wireless network name (SSID) you configure in the MBR814X router. Note: The SSID of any wireless access adapters must match the SSID you configure in the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. If they do not match, you will not get a wireless connection to the MBR814X. v1.0, January 2006 4-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Restricting Wireless Access Based on the Wireless Station Access List This list determines which wireless hardware devices will be allowed to connect to the firewall. To restrict access based on MAC addresses, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the MBR814X firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. From the Wireless Settings menu, Wireless Station Access List section, click the Setup Access List button to display the list, shown below:

Figure 4-4 3. Select the Turn Access Control On check box to enable restricting wireless computers by their MAC addresses. If the wireless station is currently connected to the network, you can select it from the Available Wireless Stations list. Click Add to add the station to the Trusted Wireless Stations list. If the wireless station is not currently connected, you can enter its address manually. Enter the MAC address of the authorized computer. The MAC address is usually printed on the wireless card, or it may appear in the routers DHCP table. The MAC address will be 12 hexadecimal digits. 4. 5. 4-8 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Click Add to add your entry. You can add several stations to the list, but the entries will be discarded if you do not click Apply. Note: You can copy and paste the MAC addresses from the routers Attached Devices menu into the MAC Address box of this menu. To do this, configure each wireless computer to obtain a wireless link to the router. The computer should then appear in the Attached Devices menu. Note: If you are configuring the router from a wireless computer whose MAC address is not in the Trusted Wireless Stations list, and you select Trusted Wireless Stations only, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then access the router from a wired computer to make any further changes. 6. Make sure the Turn Access Control On check box is selected, then click Apply. Now, only devices on this list will be allowed to wirelessly connect to the MBR814X. This prevents unauthorized access to your network. Choosing WEP Authentication and Security Encryption Methods Figure 4-5 v1.0, January 2006 4-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Restricting wireless access prevents intruders from connecting to your network. However, the wireless data transmissions are still vulnerable to snooping. Using the WEP data encryption settings described below will prevent a determined intruder from eavesdropping on your wireless data communications. Also, if you are using the Internet for such activities as purchases or banking, those Internet sites use another level of highly secure encryption called SSL. You can tell if a web site is using SSL because the web address begins with HTTPS rather than HTTP. Authentication Type Selection The MBR814X lets you select the following wireless authentication schemes. Automatic Open System Shared key Note: The authentication scheme is separate from the data encryption. You can choose an authentication scheme which requires a shared key but still leave the data transmissions unencrypted. If you require strong security, use both the Shared Key and WEP encryption settings. Set your wireless adapter according to the authentication scheme you choose for the MBR814X router. Please refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B for a full explanation of each of these options, as defined by the IEEE 802.11g wireless communication standard. Encryption Choices Please refer to the link to Wireless Communications: in Appendix B for a full explanation of each of the following choices, as defined by the IEEE 802.11g wireless communication standard. Choose the encryption strength from the drop-down list:

Disable No encryption will be applied. This setting is useful for troubleshooting your wireless connection, but leaves your wireless data fully exposed. 64 or 128 bit WEP When 64 Bit WEP or 128 Bit WEP is selected, WEP encryption will be applied. If WEP is enabled, you can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and access points in your network. There are two methods for creating WEP encryption keys:

Passphrase. Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. 4-10 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Manual. 64-bit WEP: Enter 10 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). 128-bit WEP: Enter 26 hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). Select the radio button for the key you want to make active. How to Configure WEP To configure WEP data encryption, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the MBR814X firewall at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click the Wireless Settings link in the main menu of the MBR814X router. 3. Go to the Security Encryption portion of the page:

Figure 4-6 4. Select the Authentication Type. 5. Select the Encryption setting. 6. Enter the encryption keys. You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be identical on all computers and Access Points in your network. Automatic enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button. The four key boxes will be automatically populated with key values. Manual enter hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, a-f, or A-F). Select which of the four keys will be active. v1.0, January 2006 4-11 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 7. Select the radio button for the key you want to make active. Be sure you clearly understand how the WEP key settings are configured in your wireless adapter. Wireless adapter configuration utilities such as the one included in Windows XP only allow entry of one key which must match the default key you set in the MBR814X. 8. Click Apply to save your settings. Note: When configuring the router from a wireless computer, if you configure WEP settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you click Apply. You must then either configure your wireless adapter to match the router WEP settings or access the router from a wired computer to make any further changes. How to Configure WPA-PSK Note: Not all wireless adapters support WPA. Furthermore, client software is required on the client. Windows XP and Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3 do include the client software that supports WPA. Nevertheless, the wireless adapter hardware and driver must also support WPA. Consult the product document for your wireless adapter and WPA client software for instructions on configuring WPA settings. To configure WPA-PSK, follow these steps:

1. Log in at the default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1, with the default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Click Wireless Settings in the Setup section of the main menu of the MBR814X. 3. Choose the WPA-PSK radio button. The WPA-PSK menu will open. 4. Enter the pre-shared key in the Passphrase field. 5. Click Apply to save your settings. 4-12 v1.0, January 2006 Chapter 5 Protecting Your Network This chapter describes how to use the basic firewall features of the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X to protect your network. Protecting Access to Your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X For security reasons, the router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login will automatically disconnect. When prompted, enter admin for the router User Name and password for the router Password. You can use procedures below to change the router's password and the amount of time for the administrators login timeout. Note: The user name and password are not the same as any user name or password your may use to log in to your Internet connection. NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. How to Change the Built-In Password 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. Figure 5-1 v1.0, January 2006 5-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 2. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select Set Password to bring up the Set Password dialog box. Figure 5-2 3. To change the password, first enter the old password, and then enter the new password twice. 4. Click Apply to save your changes. Note: After changing the password, you will be required to log in again to continue the configuration. If you have backed up the router settings previously, you should do a new backup so that the saved settings file includes the new password. Changing the Administrator Login Timeout For security, the administrator's login to the router configuration will timeout after a period of inactivity. To change the login timeout period:

1. In the Set Password dialog box, type a number in Administrator login times out field. The suggested default value is 5 minutes. 2. Click Apply to save your changes or click Cancel to keep the current period. Configuring Basic Firewall Services Basic firewall services you can configure include access blocking and scheduling of firewall security. These topics are presented below. 5-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Blocking Keywords, Sites, and Services The router provides a variety of options for blocking Internet based content and communications services. With its content filtering feature, the MBR814X router prevents objectionable content from reaching your PCs. The router allows you to control access to Internet content by screening for keywords within Web addresses. Key content filtering options include:

Keyword blocking of HTTP traffic. Outbound Service Blocking limits access from your LAN to Internet locations or services that you specify as off-limits. Denial of Service (DoS) protection. Automatically detects and thwarts Denial of Service

(DoS) attacks such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood, LAND Attack and IP Spoofing. Blocking unwanted traffic from the Internet to your LAN. The section below explains how to configure your router to perform these functions. How to Block Keywords and Sites The MBR814X router allows you to restrict access to Internet content based on functions such as Web addresses and Web address keywords. 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. v1.0, January 2006 5-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 2. Select the Block Sites link of the Security menu. Figure 5-3 3. To enable keyword blocking, select one of the following:

Per Scheduleto turn on keyword blocking according to the settings on the Schedule page. Alwaysto turn on keyword blocking all of the time, independent of the Schedule page. 4. Enter a keyword or domain in the Keyword box, click Add Keyword, then click Apply. Some examples of Keyword application follow:

If the keyword XXX is specified, the URL <http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html> is blocked. If the keyword .com is specified, only Web sites with other domain suffixes (such as

.edu or .gov) can be viewed. Enter the keyword . to block all Internet browsing access. Up to 32 entries are supported in the Keyword list. 5. To delete a keyword or domain, select it from the list, click Delete Keyword, then click Apply. 6. To specify a trusted user, enter that computers IP address in the Trusted IP Address box and click Apply. 5-4 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X You can specify one trusted user, which is a computer that will be exempt from blocking and logging. Since the trusted user will be identified by an IP address, you should configure that computer with a fixed IP address. 7. Click Apply to save your settings. Firewall Rules Inbound: Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side. Firewall rules are used to block or allow specific traffic passing through from one side of the router to the other. Inbound rules (WAN to LAN) restrict access by outsiders to private resources, selectively allowing only specific outside users to access specific resources. Outbound rules (LAN to WAN) determine what outside resources local users can have access to. A firewall has two default rules, one for inbound traffic and one for outbound. The default rules of the MBR814X are:

Outbound: Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside. You can define additional rules that will specify exceptions to the default rules. By adding custom rules, you can block or allow access based on the service or application, source or destination IP addresses, and time of day. You can also choose to log traffic that matches or does not match the rule you have defined. You can change the order of precedence of rules so that the rule that applies most often will take effect first. See Order of Precedence for Rules on page 5-11 for more details. v1.0, January 2006 5-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X To access the rules configuration of the MBR814X, click the Firewall Rules link on the main menu, then click Add for either an Outbound or Inbound Service. Figure 5-4 To edit an existing rule, select its button on the left side of the table and click Edit. To delete an existing rule, select its button on the left side of the table and click Delete. To move an existing rule to a different position in the table, select its button on the left side of the table and click Move. At the script prompt, enter the number of the desired new position and click OK. Inbound Rules (Port Forwarding) Because the MBR814X uses Network Address Translation (NAT), your network presents only one IP address to the Internet, and outside users cannot directly address any of your local computers. However, by defining an inbound rule you can make a local server (for example, a Web server or game server) visible and available to the Internet. The rule tells the router to direct inbound traffic for a particular service to one local server based on the destination port number. This is also known as port forwarding. Note: Some residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to the Acceptable Use Policy of your ISP. 5-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Remember that allowing inbound services opens holes in your firewall. Only enable those ports that are necessary for your network. Following are two application examples of inbound rules:

Inbound Rule Example: A Local Public Web Server If you host a public Web server on your local network, you can define a rule to allow inbound Web

(HTTP) requests from any outside IP address to the IP address of your Web server at any time of day. This rule is shown below:

Figure 5-5 The parameters are:

Service From this list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list already displays many common services, but you are not limited to these choices. Use the Services menu to add any additional services or applications that do not already appear. Action Choose how you want this type of traffic to be handled. You can block or allow always, or you can choose to block or allow according to the schedule you have defined in the Schedule menu. Send to LAN Server Enter the IP address of the computer or server on your LAN which will receive the inbound traffic covered by this rule. WAN Users These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on their source (WAN) IP address. Select the desired option:

v1.0, January 2006 5-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Any all IP addresses are covered by this rule. Address range if this option is selected, you must enter the Start and Finish fields. Single address enter the required address in the Start field. Log You can select whether the traffic will be logged. The choices are:

Never no log entries will be made for this service. Always any traffic for this service type will be logged. Match traffic of this type which matches the parameters and action will be logged. Not match traffic of this type which does not match the parameters and action will be logged. Inbound Rule Example: Allowing Videoconferencing If you want to allow incoming videoconferencing to be initiated from a restricted range of outside IP addresses, such as from a branch office, you can create an inbound rule. In the example shown in Figure 5-6, CU-SeeMe connections are allowed only from a specified range of external IP addresses. In this case, we have also specified logging of any incoming CU-SeeMe requests that do not match the allowed parameters. Figure 5-6 5-8 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Considerations for Inbound Rules If your external IP address is assigned dynamically by your ISP, the IP address may change periodically as the DHCP lease expires. Consider using the Dynamic DNS feature in the Advanced menu so that external users can always find your network. If the IP address of the local server computer is assigned by DHCP, it may change when the computer is rebooted. To avoid this, use the Reserved IP address feature in the LAN IP menu to keep the computers IP address constant. Local computers must access the local server using the computers local LAN address

(192.168.0.11 in the example in Figure 5-6 above). Attempts by local computers to access the server using the external WAN IP address will fail. Outbound Rules (Service Blocking) The MBR814X allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by computers on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. You can define an outbound rule to block Internet access from a local computer based on:

Following is an application example of outbound rules:

IP address of the local computer (source address) IP address of the Internet site being contacted (destination address) Time of day Type of service being requested (service port number) v1.0, January 2006 5-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Outbound Rule Example: Blocking Instant Messenger If you want to block Instant Messenger usage by employees during working hours, you can create an outbound rule to block that application from any internal IP address to any external address according to the schedule that you have created in the Schedule menu. You can also have the router log any attempt to use Instant Messenger during that blocked period. Figure 5-7 The parameters are:

Service From this list, select the application or service to be allowed or blocked. The list already displays many common services, but you are not limited to these choices. Use the Add Custom Service feature to add any additional services or applications that do not already appear. Action Choose how you want this type of traffic to be handled. You can block or allow always, or you can choose to block or allow according to the schedule you have defined in the Schedule menu. LAN Users These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on their source LAN IP address. Select the desired option:

Any all IP addresses are covered by this rule. Address range if this option is selected, you must enter the Start and Finish fields. 5-10 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Single address enter the required address in the Start field. WAN Users These settings determine which packets are covered by the rule, based on their destination WAN IP address. Select the desired option:

Any all IP addresses are covered by this rule. Address range if this option is selected, you must enter the Start and Finish fields. Single address enter the required address in the Start field. Log You can select whether the traffic will be logged. The choices are:

Never no log entries will be made for this service. Always any traffic for this service type will be logged. Match traffic of this type that matches the parameters and action will be logged. Not match traffic of this type that does not match the parameters and action will be logged. Order of Precedence for Rules As you define new rules, they are added to the Rules table:

Figure 5-8 v1.0, January 2006 5-11 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X For any traffic attempting to pass through the firewall, the packet information is subjected to the rules in the order shown in the Rules Table, beginning at the top and proceeding to the default rules at the bottom. In some cases, the order of precedence of two or more rules may be important in determining the disposition of a packet. The Move button allows you to relocate a defined rule to a new position in the table. Services Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, Assigned Numbers. Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of the application. Although the MBR814X already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. Use the procedure below to create your own service definitions. How to Define Services 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. On the Security menu select the Services link to go to the Service page:

6-12 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Enabling Security Event E-mail Notification In order to receive logs and alerts by e-mail, you must provide your e-mail information in the E-

mail subheading:

Figure 6-9 Turn e-mail notification on. Select this check box if you want to receive e-mail logs and alerts from the router. Send alerts and logs via email. Enter the name or IP address of your ISPs outgoing (SMTP) mail server (such as mail.myISP.com). You may be able to find this information in the configuration menu of your e-mail program. Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts are sent. This e-mail address will also be used as the From address. If you leave this box blank, log and alert messages will not be sent via e-mail. Send alert immediately. Select the corresponding check box if you would like immediate notification of a significant security event, such as a known attack, port scan, or attempted access to a blocked site. Send logs according to this schedule. Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Full. Day for sending log Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent weekly or daily. Time for sending log Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly. v1.0, January 2006 6-13 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent, it is cleared from the routers memory. If the router cannot e-mail the log file, the log buffer may fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents. Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Router The MBR814X router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the diagnostics menu to perform the following functions from the router:

Ping an IP Address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. Perform a DNS Lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the DNS server configuration is working. Display the Routing Table to identify what other routers the router is communicating with. Reboot the router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems with the routers network connection. From the main menu of the browser interface, under the Maintenance heading, select the Router Diagnostics heading to display the menu shown below:

Figure 6-10 6-14 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Enabling Remote Management Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure, upgrade and check the status of your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. Note: Be sure to change the router's default password to a very secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters. Configuring Remote Management 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. From the Advanced section of the main menu, select the Remote Management link. 3. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box. 4. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the routers remote management. For security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical:

To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. 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 a single IP address on the Internet, select Only this Computer. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. 5. Specify the Port Number that will be used for accessing the management interface. Web browser access normally uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can change the remote management Web interface to a custom port by entering that number in the box provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP. 6. Click Apply to have your changes take effect. v1.0, January 2006 6-15 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X When accessing your router from the Internet, you will type your router's WAN IP address in your browser's Address (in IE) or Location (in Netscape) box, 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 in your browser:

http://134.177.0.123:8080 Note: In this case, the http:// must be included in the address. 6-16 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X v1.0, January 2006 6-17 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 6-18 v1.0, January 2006 Chapter 7 Advanced Configuration This chapter describes how to configure the advanced features of your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. Configuring Advanced Security Setting up a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) Server The Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X provides a variety of advanced features, such as:

Connecting Automatically, as Required Disabling Port Scan and DOS Protection Responding to a Ping on the Internet WAN Port MTU Size Using the Router as a DHCP Server Configuring Static Routes These features are discussed below. Flexibility on configuring your LAN TCP/IP settings Setting Up A Default DMZ Server The Default DMZ Server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computers IP address is entered as the Default DMZ Server. Note: For security reasons, you should avoid using the Default DMZ Server feature. When a computer is designated as the Default DMZ Server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall, and is exposed to many exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the computer can be used to attack your network. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Incoming traffic from the Internet is normally discarded by the router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports menu. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the Default DMZ Server. How to Configure a Default DMZ Server To assign a computer or server to be a Default DMZ server, follow these steps:

1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. From the main menu, under Advanced, click the WAN Setup link to view the page shown below:

Figure 7-1 3. Select the Default DMZ Server check box. 4. Type the IP address for that server. 5. Click Apply to save your changes. Connect Automatically, as Required Normally, this option should be enabled, so that an Internet connection will be made automatically, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. If this causes high connection costs, you can disable this setting. If disabled, you must connect manually, using the sub-screen accessed from the "Connection Status" button on the Status screen. 7-2 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X If you have an Always on connection, this setting has no effect. Disable Port Scan and DOS Protection The Firewall protects your LAN against Port Scans and Denial of Service (DOS) attacks. This should be disabled only in special circumstances. Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port If you want the router to respond to a 'ping' from the Internet, select the Respond to Ping on Internet WAN Port check box. This should only be used as a diagnostic tool, since it allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this box unless you have a specific reason to do so. MTU Size The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 Bytes, or 1492 Bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you may need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection. Configuring LAN IP Settings The LAN IP Setup menu allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and RIP. These features can be found under the Advanced heading in the main menu of the browser interface. The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side, and to act as a DHCP server. The routers default LAN IP configuration is:

LAN IP addresses192.168.0.1 Subnet mask255.255.255.0 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X These addresses are part of the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF)-designated private address range for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in this menu. Figure 7-2 The LAN TCP/IP Setup parameters are:

IP Address This is the LAN IP address of the router. IP Subnet Mask This is the LAN Subnet Mask of the router. Combined with the IP address, the IP Subnet Mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or router. RIP Direction RIP (Router Information Protocol) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the Router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default. When set to Both or Out Only, the router will broadcast its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, it will incorporate the RIP information that it receives. When set to None, it will not send any RIP packets and will ignore any RIP packets received. RIP Version This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1. 7-4 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X RIP-1 is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting. Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. DHCP By default, the router will function as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the router's LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses will be assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this menu. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. Use Router as DHCP server If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use router as DHCP server check box. Otherwise, leave it selected. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the Starting IP Address and Ending IP Address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the routers LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you may want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses. The router will deliver the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

An IP Address from the range you have defined Gateway IP Address is the routers LAN IP address Subnet Mask v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Primary DNS Server, if you entered a Primary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu;

otherwise, the routers LAN IP address Secondary DNS Server, if you entered a Secondary DNS address in the Basic Settings menu WINS Server, short for Windows Internet Naming Service Server, determines the IP address associated with a particular Windows computer. A WINS server records and reports a list of names and IP address of Windows PCs on its local network. If you connect to a remote network that contains a WINS server, enter the servers IP address here. This allows your PCs to browse the network using the Network Neighborhood feature of Windows. Reserved IP addresses When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer will always receive the same IP address each time it access the routers DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. To reserve an IP address:

1. Click the Add button. 2. In the IP Address box, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an IP address from the routers LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x. 3. Type the MAC Address of the computer or server. Tip: If the computer is already present on your network, you can copy its MAC address from the Attached Devices menu and paste it here. 4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table. Note: The reserved address will not be assigned until the next time the computer contacts the router's DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration and force a DHCP release and renew. To edit or delete a reserved address entry:

1. Click the button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete. 2. Click Edit or Delete. How to Configure LAN TCP/IP Settings 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 7-6 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 2. From the main menu, under Advanced, click the LAN IP Setup link to go to the LAN IP Setup page:

Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network. Static Route Example 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 routers address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100. Your companys network is 134.177.0.0. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the router, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the companys firewall. In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route would look like Figure 7-4, below. 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 Router IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is a direct connection so it is set to 1. Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated. How to Configure Static Routes 1. Log in to the router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default User Name of admin, default password of password, or using whatever User Name, Password and LAN address you have chosen for the router. 2. From the main menu of the browser interface, under Advanced, click Static Routes. Figure 7-4 3. To add or edit a Static Route:

7-8 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X a. Click the Edit button to open the Edit menu. Figure 7-5 b. Type a route name for this static route in the Route Name box under the table. This is for identification purpose only. c. Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. d. Select Active to make this route effective. e. Type the Destination IP Address of the final destination. f. Type the IP Subnet Mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. g. Type the Gateway IP Address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router. h. Type a number between 1 and 15 as the Metric value. This 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. 4. Click Apply to have the static route entered into the table. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-9 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network. 1. Click UPnP on the main menu:

Figure 7-6 2. Fill out the UPnP screen:

Turn UPnP On: UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If disabled, the Router will not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the Router. Advertisement Period: The Advertisement Period is how often the Router will advertise

(broadcast) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is for 30 minutes. Shorter durations will ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations may compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic. Advertisement Time To Live: The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops

(steps) for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then it may be necessary to increase this value a little. 7-10 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X UPnP Portmap Table: The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the Router and which ports (Internal and External) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address. 3. To save, cancel or refresh the table:

a. Click Apply to save the new settings to the Router. b. Click Cancel to disregard any unsaved changes. c. Click Refresh to update the portmap table and to show the active ports that are currently opened by UPnP devices. v2.0 BETA, January 2006 7-11 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X 7-12 v2.0 BETA, January 2006 Chapter 8 Troubleshooting This chapter gives information about troubleshooting your Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X. After each problem description, instructions are provided to help you diagnose and solve the problem. For the common problems listed, go to the section indicated. Have I connected the router correctly?

Is the router on?

Go to Basic Functioning on page 8-1. I cant access the routers configuration with my browser. Go to Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface on page 8-3. Ive configured the router but I cant access the Internet. Go to Troubleshooting the ISP Connection on page 8-4. I cant remember the routers configuration password. I want to clear the configuration and start over again. Go to Restoring the Default Configuration and Password on page 8-7. Basic Functioning After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:

1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED is on (see The Routers Front Panel on page 2-5 for an illustration and explanation of the LEDs). 2. Verify that the Test LED lights within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test procedure is running. 3. After approximately 10 seconds, verify that:

a. The Test LED is not lit. b. The LAN port LEDs are lit for any local ports that are connected. c. The WAN port LED is lit. v1.0, January 2006 8-1 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X If a ports LED is lit, a link has been established to the connected device. If a LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the ports LED is green. If the port is 10 Mbps, the LED will be amber. If any of these conditions does not occur, refer to the appropriate following section. Power LED Not On If the Power and other LEDs are off when your router is turned on:

Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact technical support. Test LED Never Turns On or Test LED Stays On When the router is turned on, the Test LED turns on for about 10 seconds and then turns off. If the Test LED does not turn on, or if it stays on, there is a fault within the router. If you experience problems with the Test LED:

Cycle the power to see if the router recovers and the LED blinks for the correct amount of time. If all LEDs including the Test LED are still on one minute after power up:

Cycle the power to see if the router recovers. Clear the routers configuration to factory defaults. This will set the routers IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Using the Reset button on page 8-7. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support. LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On If either the LAN LEDs or WAN LED do not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following:

Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation. Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation. Be sure the wireless broadband PC card is inserted properly. 8-2 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Troubleshooting the Web Configuration Interface If you are unable to access the routers Web Configuration interface from a computer on your local network, check the following:

If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the router as described in the previous section. Make sure your computers IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computers address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. Refer to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B to configure your computer. Note: If your computers IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x:

Recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the router and reboot your computer. If your routers IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the routers configuration to factory defaults. This will set the routers IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Using the Reset button on page 8-7. Make sure your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure the Java applet is loaded. Try quitting the browser and launching it again. Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin and the password is password. Make sure that CAPS LOCK is off when entering this information. Saving Changes If the router does not save changes you have made in the Web Configuration Interface, check the following:

When entering configuration settings, be sure to click the APPLY button before moving to another menu or tab, or your changes are lost. Click the Refresh or Reload button in the Web browser. The changes may have occurred, but the Web browser may be caching the old configuration. v1.0, January 2006 8-3 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Troubleshooting the ISP Connection If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should check the broadband connection, then the WAN TCP/IP connection. Wireless Broadband Link If your router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you have broadband wireless coverage in your area. The state of this connection is indicated with the WAN LED. Internet LED Green or Blinking Green If your Internet LED is green or blinking green, then you have a good broadband connection. You can be confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is correct. Internet LED Off If the Internet LED is off, disconnect the power to the router. Ensure the wireless broadband PC card is inserted properly and re-connect the power to the router. If the problem persists, the wireless coverage in your area may be poor or the PC card may be defective. Obtaining an Internet IP Address If your router is unable to access the internet, and your Internet LED is green or blinking green, you should determine whether the router is able to obtain a Internet IP address from the ISP. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address, your router must request an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the browser interface. To check the WAN IP address from the browser interface:

1. Launch your browser and select an external site such as www.netgear.com. 2. Access the main menu of the routers configuration at http://192.168.0.1. 3. Under the Maintenance heading check that an IP address is shown for the WAN Port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP. If your router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem may be one of the following:

8-4 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Your ISP may check for your computer's host name. Assign the computer Host Name of your ISP account to the router in the browser-based Setup Wizard. You have poor wireless coverage. Your ISP only allows one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and may check for your computers MAC address. In this case:

Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the routers MAC address. OR Configure your router to spoof your computers MAC address. This can be done in the Basic Settings menu. Refer to Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection on page 3-8. Troubleshooting Internet Browsing If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any Web pages from the Internet:

Your computer may not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP will provide the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the routers configuration, reboot your computer and verify the DNS address. See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation. Your computer may not have the router configured as its TCP/IP router. If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer and verify the router address as described in Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP Network Using the Ping Utility Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a TCP/IP network is made very easy by using the ping utility in your computer. v1.0, January 2006 8-5 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Testing the LAN Path to Your Router You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up correctly. To ping the router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:

1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run. 2. In the field provided, type Ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:

ping 192.168.0.1 3. Click OK. You should see a message like this one:

Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data If the path is working, you see this message:

Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx If the path is not working, you see this message:

Request timed out If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:

Wrong physical connections Make sure the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in LAN or WAN Port LEDs Not On on page 8-2. Check that the corresponding Link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and router. Wrong network configuration Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation. Verify that the IP address for your router and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet. Testing the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device. From the Windows run menu, type:

PING -n 10 <IP address>

8-6 v1.0, January 2006 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISPs DNS server. If the path is functioning correctly, replies as in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies:

Check that your PC has the IP address of your router listed as the default router. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information will not be visible in your PCs Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default router. See the link to Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing: in Appendix B. Check to see that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device. Check that your wireless broadband PC card is installed properly. If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the Account Name in the Basic Settings menu. Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by only allowing traffic from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem. If this is the case, you must configure your router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. Refer to Manually Configuring Your Internet Connection on page 3-8. Restoring the Default Configuration and Password This section explains how to restore the factory default configuration settings, changing the routers administration password to password and the IP address to 192.168.0.1. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory defaults in two ways:

Use the Erase function of the Web Configuration Manager (see Backing Up, Restoring, or Erasing Your Settings on page 6-1). Use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. Use this method for cases when the administration password or IP address is not known. Using the Reset button To restore the factory default configuration settings without knowing the administration password or IP address, you must use the Default Reset button on the rear panel of the router. 1. Press and hold the Default Reset button until the Test LED turns on (about 10 seconds). 2. Release the Default Reset button and wait for the router to reboot. v1.0, January 2006 8-7 Reference Manual for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X Problems with Date and Time The E-mail menu in the Content Filtering section displays the current date and time of day. The MBR814X router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several Network Time Servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include:

Date shown is January 1, 2000 Cause: The router has not yet successfully reached a Network Time Server. Check that your Internet access settings are configured correctly. If you have just completed configuring the router, wait at least five minutes and check the date and time again. Time is off by one hour Cause: The router does not automatically sense Daylight Savings Time. In the E-mail menu, check or uncheck the box marked Adjust for Daylight Savings Time. 8-8 v1.0, January 2006 Appendix A Technical Specifications This appendix provides technical specifications for the Mobile Broadband Router MBR814X.

The EUT was placed on a rotatable table top 0.8 meter above ground. b. The EUT was set 3 meters from the interference receiving antenna which was mounted on the top of a variable height antenna tower. c. The table was rotated 360 degrees to determine the position of the highest radiation. d. The antenna is a broadband antenna and its height is varied between one meter and four meters above ground to find the maximum value of the field strength both horizontal polarization and vertical polarization of the antenna are set to make the measurement. e. For each suspected emission the EUT was arranged to its worst case and then tune the antenna tower (from 1 M to 4 M) and turn table (from 0 degree to 360 degrees) to find the maximum reading. f. Set the test-receiver system to Peak or CISPR quasi-peak Detect Function and specified bandwidth with Maximum Hold Mode. g. If the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 3 dB lower than the limit specified, then testing will be stopped and peak values of EUT will be reported, otherwise, the emissions which do not have 3 dB margin will be repeated one by one using the quasi-peak method and reported. h. For testing above 1GHz, the emission level of the EUT in peak mode was 20dB lower than average limit (that means the emission level in peak mode also complies with the limit in average mode), then testing will be stopped and peak values of EUT will be reported, otherwise, the emissions will be measured in average mode again and reported.
