Default access information Preset WiFi password Serial number and MAC address Figure 4. The label shows unique information about your router Position Your Router The router lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, place your router:

Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices. So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers. In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings between the router and your other devices to a minimum. Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, the base of a cordless phone, or a 2.4 GHz cordless phone. Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless signal. Hardware Setup 11 2. Getting Started Connecting to the router 2 This chapter explains how to use NETGEAR genie to set up your router after you complete cabling as described in the installation guide. This chapter contains the following sections:

Types of Logins and Access Router Setup Preparation NETGEAR genie Setup Use NETGEAR genie After Installation Upgrade the Firmware Dashboard (Basic Home Screen) NETGEAR genie App and Mobile genie App Join Your Wireless Network 12 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Router Setup Preparation You can set up your router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie menus and screens to set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure the computers and devices in the network have the settings described here. Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). Gather ISP Information If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your router automatically logs you in. The ISP configuration information for your DSL account ISP login name and password Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this setting is rare) Wireless Devices and Security Settings Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2 wireless security, which is the wireless security that the router uses. Types of Logins and Access Separate types of logins have different purposes. It is important that you understand the difference so that you know which login to use when. Router login logs you in to the router interface from NETGEAR genie. For details about this login, see Use NETGEAR genie After Installation on page ISP login logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider has provided you with this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login information, contact your service provider. 15. Wireless network key or password. Your router is preset with a unique wireless network name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the label on the bottom of your router. Getting Started 13 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router NETGEAR genie Setup NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. Installation and basic setup takes about 15 minutes to complete.

You can find the preset SSID and password on the bottom of the unit. Note: The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and maximize your wireless security. NETGEAR genie Basic Settings 24 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router NETGEAR recommends that you do not change your preset security settings. If you change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can easily find it. If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless security settings, you are disconnected when you click Apply. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the router. To view or change basic wireless settings:

1. Select Basic > Wireless. The screen sections, settings, and procedures are explained in the following sections. 2. Make any changes that are needed. 3. Click Apply. 4. Your settings are saved. If you were connected wirelessly to the router and you changed the SSID or wireless security, you are disconnected from the network. If you changed the settings, make sure that you can connect wirelessly to the network with its new settings. If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:

Is your computer or wireless device connected to another wireless network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network (without wireless security) that they discover. Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you made changes)? If so, update the wireless network selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your network. NETGEAR genie Basic Settings 25 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Wireless Settings Screen Fields You can use this screen to view or change the wireless network settings and the security option. Enable SSID Broadcast. This feature allows the router to broadcast its SSID so wireless stations can see this wireless name (SSID) in their scanned network lists. This check box is selected by default. To turn off the SSID broadcast, clear this check box, and click Apply. Enable Wireless Isolation. If this check box is selected, computers or wireless devices that join the network can use the Internet, but cannot access each other or access Ethernet devices on the network. Name (SSID). The SSID is also known as the wireless network name. Enter a 32-character

(maximum) name in this field. This field is case-sensitive. The default SSID is randomly generated, and NETGEAR strongly recommends that you do not change this setting. Region. The location where the router is used. Select from the countries in the list. In the United States, the region is fixed to United States and is not changeable. Channel. The wireless channel the router uses. For 2.4 GHz, select a value from 1 through 13. (For products in the North America market, only Channels 1 through 11 can be operated.) Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best. When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10). Mode. For 2.4 GHz, Up to 145 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11n and 802.11g wireless devices to join the network. The other settings are Up to 54 Mbps, and Up to 300 Mbps. At 5GHz, Up to 867 Mbps is the default setting, which allows 802.11ac and 802.11a wireless devices to join the network. The other settings are Up to 173 Mbps and 400 Mbps. Security Options. The router comes with unique preset wireless security. These settings are on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use preset security so that you can refer to the label if you forget the WiFi password. However, you can change the security option and passphrase. Wireless Security Options A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption. WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking. NETGEAR genie Basic Settings 26 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router WPA uses a passphrase for authentication and to generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and works with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points. WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA-PSK. It is advertised to be theoretically indecipherable due to the greater degree of randomness in encryption keys that it generates. WPA2-PSK gets higher speed because it is implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is usually implemented through software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPS-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode can provide broader support for all wireless clients. WPA2-PSK clients get higher speed and security, and WPA-PSK clients get decent speed and security. For help with WPA settings on your wireless computer or device, see the instructions that came with your product. Change the Wireless Security Option NETGEAR recommends that you do not disable security. To change the WPA settings:

1. Select Basic > Wireless Settings. 2. Under Security Options, select the WPA option you want. 3. In the Passphrase field that displays when you select a WPA security option, enter the network key (password) that you want to use. It is a text string from 8 to 63 characters. 4. Write down the new password and keep it in a secure place for future reference. 5. Click Apply. Your changes are saved. NETGEAR genie Basic Settings 27 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Set Up a Guest Network A guest network allows visitors at your home to use the Internet without using your wireless security key. You can add a guest network to each wireless network: 2.4 GHz b/g/n and 5.0 GHz a/n. To set up a guest network:

1. Select Basic > Guest Network. 2. Select any of the following wireless settings:

Enable Guest Network. When this check box is selected, the guest network is enabled, and guests can connect to your network using the SSID of this profile. Enable SSID Broadcast. If this check box is selected, the wireless access point broadcasts its name (SSID) to all wireless stations. Stations with no SSID can adopt the correct SSID for connections to this access point.

The content is the same as what is on the Router Status screen available from the Administration menu. See View Router Status on page 82. FOR POSITION ONLY Internet Connection Setup Wizard You can use the Setup Wizard to detect your Internet settings and automatically set up your router. The Setup Wizard is not the same as the genie screens that display the first time you connect to your router to set it up. To use the Setup Wizard:

1. Select Advanced > Setup Wizard. 2. Select Yes. If you select No, you are taken to the Internet Setup screen (see Internet Setup on page 20). 3. Select your location. 4. Click Next. NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 31 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router The Setup Wizard searches your Internet connection for servers and protocols to determine your ISP configuration. WAN Setup The WAN Setup screen lets you configure a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable the router to respond to a ping on the WAN

(Internet) port. To view or change the WAN settings:

1. Select Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup. 2. Specify the following settings:

Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, Teardrop Attack, UDP Flood, ARP Attack, Spoofing ICMP, Null Scan, and many others. This setting should be disabled only in special circumstances. Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online games or videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the firewall security less effective. See the following section, Default DMZ Server. Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the router to respond to a ping from the Internet, select this check box. Use this setting only as a diagnostic tool because it NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 32 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router allows your router to be discovered. Do not select this check box unless you have a specific reason. Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network

(LAN) to receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need this feature, you can select this check box to disable it. MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs, you might need to reduce the MTU. Reduce the MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection. See Change the MTU Size on page 34. NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall, but allows almost all Internet applications to function. 3. Click Apply. Your changes are saved. Default DMZ Server The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation

(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as the default DMZ server. WARNING:

DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your network. The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the router forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server. To set up a default DMZ server:

1. Select Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup. 2. Select the Default DMZ Server check box. NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 33 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router 3. Type the IP address. 4. Click Apply. Your change takes effect. Change the MTU Size The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or fragmented to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU. The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value. In some situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:

You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the technical support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting. These web-based applications might require an MTU change:

- A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page

- Yahoo email

- MSN portal

- America Onlines DSL service You use VPN and have severe performance problems. You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have connectivity or performance problems. Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. For example, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers. If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500 until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU sizes and applications. Table 2. Common MTU sizes MTU 1500 1492 Application The largest Ethernet packet size. This setting is typical for connections that do not use PPPoE or VPN, and is the default value for NETGEAR routers, adapters, and switches. Used in PPPoE environments. NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 34 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Table 2. Common MTU sizes (continued) MTU 1472 1468 1460 1436 1400 576 Application Maximum size to use for pinging. (Larger packets are fragmented.) Used in some DHCP environments. Usable by AOL if you do not have large email attachments, for example. Used in PPTP environments or with VPN. Maximum size for AOL DSL. Typical value to connect to dial-up ISPs. To change the MTU size:

1. Select Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup. 2. 3. Click Apply. In the MTU Size field, enter a value from 64 to 1500. Your change is saved. LAN Setup The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). 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 address. 192.168.1.1 Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0 These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing scheme, you can change these settings in the LAN Setup screen. Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the router while connected through the browser, you are disconnected. If you want to continue to use the router menus, open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again. NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 35 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To change the LAN settings:

1. Select Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup. 2. Enter the settings that you want to customize. These settings are described in the following section, LAN Setup Screen Settings. 3. Click Apply. Your changes are saved. LAN Setup Screen Settings LAN TCP/IP Setup IP Address. The LAN IP address of the router. IP Subnet Mask. 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 have to be reached through a gateway or router. RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router incorporates the RIP information that it receives. RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, the RIP function is disabled.

- RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 36 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router

- 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. Use Router as DHCP Server For most home networks, this check box is selected so that the router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same subnet as the router. Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the same subnet as the router. Address Reservation When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each time it accesses the routers DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. See Set Up Address Reservation on page 38. Role of the Router as a DHCP Server By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified in the LAN Setup screen. 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. You can specify the pool of IP addresses that the router assigns 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, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses. The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

An IP address from the range you have defined Subnet mask Gateway IP address (the routers LAN IP address) Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;

otherwise, the routers LAN IP address) Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen) You can use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or specify the network settings of all of your computers. NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 37 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To disable the DHCP server feature in the router:

1. Select Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup. 2. Clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box. 3. Click Apply. 4.

(Optional) If this service is disabled and no other DHCP server is on your network, set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the router. Set Up Address Reservation When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the routers DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings. To reserve an IP address:

1. Select Advanced > Setup > LAN Setup. 2. 3. In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the Add button. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an IP address from the routers LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x. 4. Type the MAC address of the computer or server. Tip: If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here. 5. Click Apply. The reserved address is entered into the table. The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the routers 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. Select the radio button next to the reserved address you want to edit or delete. 2. Click Edit or Delete. WPS Wizard for WiFi Connections The WPS Wizard helps you add a wireless computer or device to your WiFi network without typing the WiFi password. To use the WPS Wizard:

The WPS process automatically sets up your wireless computer with the network password and connects it to the wireless network. The router WPS screen displays a confirmation message. Quality of Service (QoS) Setup QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection. WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications The router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require QoS, are assigned to the best effort NETGEAR genie Advanced Home 39 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by default. To disable WMM QoS:

1. Make sure that the FTP check box is selected in the Access Method section of the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen (see USB Storage Device Network and Access Settings on page 51). 2. Launch a web browser. 3. Type ftp:// and the Internet port IP address in the address field of the browser. For example, type ftp://10.1.65.4. If you are using Dynamic DNS, you can type the DNS name rather than the IP address. 4. Type the account name and password for the account that has access rights to the USB drive. The user name (account name) for All no password is guest. The directories of the USB drive that your account has access to display. For example, you could see: share/partition1/directory1. You can now read and copy files from the USB directory. Sharing Files You can share files on the USB drive for a wide variety of business and recreational purposes. The files can be any Windows, Mac, or Linux file type including text, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, MP3, pictures, and multimedia files. USB drive applications include:

Sharing multimedia with friends and family such as MP3 files, pictures, and other multimedia with local and remote users. Sharing resources on your network. You can store files in a central location so that you do not have to power up a computer to perform local sharing. In addition, you can share files between Macintosh, Linux, and Windows computers by using the USB drive as a go-between across the systems. Sharing files such as Word documents, PowerPoint presentations, and text files with remote users. A few common uses are described in the following sections. Share Photos You can create your own central storage location for photos and multimedia. This method eliminates the need to log in to (and pay for) an external photo-sharing site. To share files with your friends and family:

1. Insert your USB drive into the USB port on the router either directly or with a USB cable. Computers on your local area network (LAN) can automatically access this USB drive using a web browser or Microsoft Networking. USB Storage 48 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router 2. If you want to specify read-only access or to allow access from the Internet, see USB Storage Device Network and Access Settings on page 51. Store Files in a Central Location for Printing This scenario is for a family that has one high-quality color printer directly attached to a computer, but not shared on the local area network (LAN). This family does not have a print server. One family member has photos on a Macintosh computer that she wants to print. The photo-capable color printer is directly attached to a Windows PC, but not shared on the network. The Mac and the Windows PC are not visible to each other on the network. To print photos from a Mac on the printer attached to a Windows PC:

On a Mac, access the USB drive by typing \\readyshare in the address field of a web browser. Then copy the photos to the USB drive. On a Window computer, use a web browser or Microsoft Networking to copy the files from the USB drive to the computer. Then print the files. Share Large Files over the Internet Sending files that are larger than 5 MB can pose a problem for many email systems. The router allows you to share large files such as PowerPoint presentations or .zip files over the Internet. FTP can be used to download shared files from the router. Sharing files with a remote colleague involves the following considerations:

There are two user accounts: admin and guest. The password for admin is the same one that you use to access the router. By default, it is password. The guest user account has no password. On the FTP site, the person receiving the files uses the guest user account and enters the password. (FTP requires that you type something in the password field.) Be sure to select the FTP (via Internet) check box in the USB Storage (Advanced Settings) screen. This option supports both downloading and uploading of files. Note: You can enable the HTTP (via Internet) option on the USB Storage

(Advanced Settings) screen to share large files. This option supports downloading files only. USB Storage 49 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router View a USB Device Attached to the Router To view basic information about the USB storage device:

(See Schedule Blocking on page 77.) 3. Always. Turn on keyword blocking all the time, independent of the Schedule screen. In the Keyword field, enter a keyword or domain, click Add Keyword, and click Apply. The Keyword list supports up to 32 entries. Here are some sample entries:

Specify XXX to block http://www.badstuff.com/xxx.html. Specify .com if you want to allow only sites with domain suffixes such as .edu or .gov. Enter a period (.) to block all Internet browsing access. To delete a keyword or domain:

1. Select the keyword you want to delete from the list. 2. Click Delete Keyword. 3. Click Apply. Your changes are saved. To specify a trusted computer:

You can exempt one trusted computer from blocking and logging. The computer you exempt has to have a fixed IP address. 1. 2. Click Apply. In the Trusted IP Address field, enter the IP address. Security 68 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Your changes are saved. Block Services (Port Filtering) Services are functions that server computers perform 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 the 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 at http://www.ietf.org/) and published in RFC1700, Assigned Numbers. Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 - 65535 by the authors of the application. Although the router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. You can often determine port number information by contacting the publisher of the application, by asking user groups or newsgroups, or by searching. The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet services by computers on your network. This is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for blocking, first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses. To block services:

1. Select Advanced > Security > Block Services. 2. Select either Per Schedule or Always. 3. 4. Click Add to add a service. If you selected Per Schedule, specify a time period in the Schedule screen. Security 69 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router The Block Services Setup screen displays:

5. From the Service Type list, select the application or service to allow or block. The list displays several common services, but you are not limited to these choices. To add any additional services or applications that do not already appear, select User Defined. If you know that the application uses either TCP or UDP, select the appropriate protocol. If you are not sure, select Both. 6. 7. Enter the starting and ending port numbers. If the application uses a single port number, enter that number in both fields. 8. Select the radio button for the IP address configuration you want to block, and enter the IP addresses. You can block the specified service for a single computer, a range of computers with consecutive IP addresses, or all computers on your network. 9. Click Add. Your changes are saved. Port Triggering to Open Incoming Ports Some application servers (such as FTP and IRC servers) send replies to multiple port numbers. Using the port triggering function of your router, you can tell the router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port originates a session. An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but also sends an identify message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the router, When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you have to also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer. Using steps similar to the Security 70 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router preceding example, the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you have defined:

1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer. 2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then sends this request message to your router. 3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server. 4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667, your router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer. 5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port

(for example, port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an identify message to your router with destination port 113. 6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your router checks its session table to determine whether there is an active session for port number 33333. Finding an active session, the router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply message to your computer. 7. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 113 your router checks its session table and learns that there is an active session for port 113, associated with your computer. The router replaces the messages destination IP address with your computers IP address and forwards the message to your computer. 8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113. To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups. Only one computer at a time can use the triggered application. Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature. A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computers Security 71 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the router, When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at 192.168.1.123. The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:

1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your router. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information:

Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your router. Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process. The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your router. 2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your router modifies the destination information in the request message:

The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123. Your router then sends this request message to your local network. 3. Your web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your router. 4. Your router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com. To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. You usually can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups. How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering:

Any computer on your network can use port triggering, although only one computer can use it at a time. Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network. With port triggering, the router does not need to know the computers IP address in advance. The IP address is captured automatically. Port forwarding requires that you specify the computers IP address during configuration, and the IP address can never change. Security 72 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity. Port forwarding is always active and does not need to be triggered. Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers The port forwarding feature lets you allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet. Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen to configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded. Before you start, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server computer has to always have the same IP address. To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP address feature of your product. See Set Up Address Reservation on page 38. To forward specific incoming protocols:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. 2. Leave the Port Forwarding radio button selected as the service type. 3. 4. Click the Add button. In the Service Name list, select the service name. A list of services display. If the service that you want to add is not in the list, see Add a Custom Service on page 74. 5. Fill in the Server IP Address field 6. Click Add. The service appears in the list on the Port Forwarding screen. Security 73 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Add a Custom Service To define a service, game, or application that does not appear in the Service Name list, first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or news groups. When you have the port number information, follow these steps. To add a custom service:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. 2. Select the Port Forwarding radio button as the service type. 3. Click the Add Custom Service button. 4. 5. 6. In the Service Name field, enter a descriptive name. In the Service Type field, select the protocol. If you are unsure, select TCP/UDP. In the External Starting Port field, enter the beginning port number. If the application uses a single port, enter the same port number in the Ending Port field. If the application uses a range of ports, enter the ending port number of the range in the External Ending Port field. 7. Specify the internal ports by one of these methods:

Leave the Use the same port range for Internal port check box selected. Fill in the Internal Starting Port and Internal Ending Port fields. 8. Fill in the Internal IP address field, or select the radio button for an attached device listed in the table. 9. Click Apply. The service appears in the list in the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Security 74 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Edit or Delete a Port Forwarding Entry To edit or delete a port forwarding entry:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. 2. Select the Port Forwarding radio button as the service type 3. In the table, select the radio button next to the service name. 4. Click Edit Service or Delete Service. Application Example: Make a Local Web Server Public If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. To make a local web server public:

2. 3. 1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address reservation. In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33. HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.

(Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to use the name. To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user has to know the IP address that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org. Set Up Port Triggering Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:

More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not simultaneously). An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port. When port triggering is enabled, the router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified outbound trigger port. When the router detects outbound traffic on that port, it remembers the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The router then temporarily opens the specified incoming port or ports and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the triggering computer. Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer. Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close the ports when they are no longer needed. Security 75 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). See Universal Plug and Play on page 105. To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs, and the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or news groups. To enable port triggering:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering. 2. Select the Port Triggering radio button. 3. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box. Note: If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you configure port triggering, port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering configuration information you added to the router is retained even though it is not used. 4. In the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes. This value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound ports close when the inactivity time expires. This is required because the router cannot be sure when the application has terminated. Security 76 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To add a port triggering service:

1. On the Port Triggering screen, click Add Service. 2. 3. In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name. In the Service User list, select Any, or select Single address and enter the IP address of one computer. Any (the default), allows any computer on the Internet to use this service. Single address restricts the service to a particular computer. 4. Select the service type, either TCP or UDP or both (TCP/UDP). If you are not sure, select TCP/UDP. In the Triggering Port field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that will cause the inbound ports to be opened. 5. 6. Enter the inbound connection port information in the Connection Type, Starting Port, and Ending Port fields. 7. Click Apply. The service appears in the Port Triggering Portmap table. 8. Make sure that you enable port triggering so that the service that you added will be used. Schedule Blocking You can specify the days and time that you want to block Internet access. Security 77 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To schedule blocking:

1. Select Advanced > Security > Schedule. 2. Set up the schedule for blocking keywords and services. Days to Block. Select days on which you want to apply blocking by selecting the appropriate check boxes, or select Every Day to select the check boxes for all days. Time of Day to Block. Select a start and end time in 24-hour format, or select All Day for 24-hour blocking. 3. Select your time zone from the list. If you use daylight savings time, select the Automatically adjust for daylight savings time check box. 4. Click Apply. Your settings are saved. Set up Security Event Email Notifications To receive logs and alerts by email, provide your email information in the E-mail screen, and specify which alerts you want to receive and how often. Security 78 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To set up email notifications:

1. Select Advanced > Security > E-mail. 2. Select the Turn Email Notification On check box. 3. In the Your Outgoing Mail Server field, enter the name of your ISPs outgoing (SMTP) mail server (such as mail.myISP.com). You might be able to find this information in the configuration screen of your email program. If you leave this field blank, log and alert messages are not sent. 4. Enter the email address to which logs and alerts are sent in the Send to This Email Address field. This email address is also used for the From address. If you leave this field blank, log and alert messages are not sent. If your outgoing email server requires authentication, select the My Mail Server requires authentication check box. Fill in the User Name and Password fields for the outgoing email server.

(Optional) Select the Send Alerts Immediately check box. Email alerts are sent immediately when someone attempts to visit a blocked site.

(Optional) Fill in the fields in the Send logs according to this schedule section of the screen. Logs are sent automatically. If the log fills up before the specified time, the log is emailed. After the log is sent, the log is cleared from the router memory. If the router cannot email the log file, the log buffer might fill up. In this case, the router overwrites the log and discards its contents. 5. 6. 7. 8. Click Apply. Your settings are saved. Security 79 8.

The settings for the other router are saved and the Advanced Wireless Settings screen displays. 7. Click Apply on the Advanced Wireless Settings screen. Your changes take effect. Advanced Settings 97 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Wireless Distribution System (WDS) You can set the router up to be used as a wireless base station or a wireless repeater in a wireless distribution system (WDS). A WDS lets you expand a wireless network through multiple access points. A wireless base station connects to the Internet, can have wired and wireless clients, and sends its wireless signal to an access point that functions as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater can also have wired and wireless clients, but connects to the Internet through the wireless base station. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario. FOR POSITION ONLY Base station access point Figure 9. Wireless repeating scenario Repeater access point Note: To use the wireless repeating function, you need to select None as the security option in the Wireless Settings screen, and you cannot select Auto Channel. Wireless base station. The router acts as the parent access point that bridges traffic to and from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC addresses of the child repeater access point. Often, the MAC address is on the product label. Wireless repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the remote parent access point. The router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base Advanced Settings 98 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless router or wireless base station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected. For you to set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points have to meet the following conditions:

Both access points have to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode. Both access points have to be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all of the access point LAN IP addresses are in the same network. All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) are configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the access points. Set Up the Base Station The wireless repeating function works only in hub and spoke mode. The units cannot be daisy-chained. You have to know the wireless settings for both units. You have to know the MAC address of the remote unit. First, set up the base statiomn. Then set up the repeater. To set up the base station:

1. Set up both units with the same wireless settings. The SSID and mode need to be the same and the wireless security option has to be set to None. (See Basic Wireless Settings on page 24.) 2. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function. 3. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box. 4. Select the Wireless Base Station radio button. 5.

(Optional) Select the Disable Wireless Client Association check box to prevent wireless clients from associating with the base station and allow LAN client associations only. You can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate with the base stations. Advanced Settings 99 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router 6. In the Repeater MAC Address 1 through 4 fields, enter the MAC addresses for the access points that should function as repeaters. If your router is the base station, it can function as the parent for up to four other access points. 7. Click the Apply button. Your changes are saved. Set Up a Repeater Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless connection to the base station. Note: If you are using the router as the base station with a non-NETGEAR router as the repeater, you might need to change more configuration settings. In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the access point that is the repeater. To configure the router as a repeater:

1. Log in to the router that will be the repeater. 2. Select Basic > Wireless Settings and verify that the wireless settings match the base unit exactly. The wireless security option has to be set to WEP or None. 3. Select Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function. 4. Select the Enable Wireless Repeating Function check box. 5. Select the Wireless Repeater radio button. 6. Fill in the Repeater IP Address field. Advanced Settings 100 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router This IP address has to be in the same subnet as the base station, but different from the LAN IP address of the base station.

(Optional) Select the Disable Wireless Client Association check box to prevent wireless clients from associating with the repeater and allowing LAN client associations only. You can leave the check box cleared if you prefer wireless clients to be able to associate with the repeater. In the Base Station MAC Address field, enter the MAC addresses for the access point that should function as the base station. 7. 8. 9. Click Apply. Your changes are saved. 10. Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the router can connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other computer or server connected to the other access point. Dynamic DNS If your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you do not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type of service lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address. If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet. Your router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by DynDNS.org. First visit their website at http://www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host name that you configure in the router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host name is hostname, for example, you can reach your router at http://hostname.dyndns.org. Advanced Settings 101 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To set up Dynamic DNS:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Dynamic DNS. 2. Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose URLs are in the Service Provider list. 3. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box. 4. Select the URL of your Dynamic DNS service provider. For example, for DynDNS.org, select www.dyndns.org. 5. Type the host name (or domain name) that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you. 6. Type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account. This user name is the name that you use to log in to your account, not your host name. 7. Type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account. 8. Click Apply. Your changes are saved. Static Routes Static routes provide more routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need to add static routes. You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets on your network. As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This routers address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100. Your companys network address is 134.177.0.0. When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the companys firewall. Advanced Settings 102 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router In this case you have to define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. In this example:

The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. A metric value of 1 works because the ISDN router is on the LAN. Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated. To set up a static route:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Static Routes. 2. Click Add. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only.) 3. 4. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP. 5. Select the Active check box to make this route effective. 6. Type the IP address of the final destination. 7. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. 8. Type the gateway IP address, which has to be on the same LAN segment as the router. 9. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value. This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1. 10. Click the Apply button. The static route is added. To edit or delete a static route:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Static Routes. The Static Routes screen displays. In the table, select the radio button next to the route that you want to edit or delete. 2. 3. Do one of the following:

Advanced Settings 103 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Click the Edit button. The Static Routes screen adjusts. a. Edit the route information. b. Click the Apply button. Click the Delete button. The route is removed from the table. Remote Management The remote management feature lets you access your router over the Internet to view or change its settings. Note: Be sure to change the router default login password to a secure password. The ideal password contains no dictionary words from any language and contains uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters. See Change the Password on page 88. To set up remote management:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Remote Management. 2. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box. 3. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to access the routers remote management. For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses Note:

as practical. Advanced Settings 104 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer. Enter the IP address that will be allowed access. To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range. To specify IP addresses, select IP Address List and type in the allowed IP addresses. To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. 4. Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface. Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP. 5. Click the Apply button. Your changes take effect. 6. When you access your router from the Internet, type your routers WAN IP address into your browsers address or location field 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 http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser. Universal Plug and Play 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. If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP. To turn on Universal Plug and Play:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP screen displays. 2. Select the Turn UPnP On check box. Advanced Settings 105 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router By default, this check box is selected. UPnP for automatic device configuration can be enabled or disabled. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the router. 3. Type the advertisement period in minutes. The advertisement period specifies how often the router broadcasts its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic. 4. Type the advertisement time to live in hops. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. 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, it might be necessary to increase this value. 5. Click the Apply button. The UPnP Portmap table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address.

(Optional) To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap table, click the Refresh button. 6. IPv6 You can use this feature to set up an IPv6 Internet connection type if genie does not detect it automatically. To set up an IPv6 Internet connection type:

1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > IPv6. 2. In the Internet Connection Type list, select the IPv6 connection type. Your Internet service provider (ISP) can provide this information. If your ISP did not provide details, you can select IPv6 Tunnel. Advanced Settings 106 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router If you are not sure, select Auto Detect so that the router detects the IPv6 type that is in use. If your Internet connection does not use PPPoE, DHCP, or fixed, but is IPv6, select Auto Config. For more information about Internet connection types, see the following sections. 3. Click the Apply button. Your changes take effect. Requirements for Entering IPv6 Addresses IPv6 addresses are denoted by eight groups of hexadecimal quartets that are separated by colons. Any four-digit group of zeroes within an IPv6 address can be reduced to a single zero or altogether omitted. The following errors invalidate an IPv6 address:

Quick Tips Troubleshoot with the LEDs Cannot Log In to the Router Cannot Access the Internet Changes Not Saved Wireless Connectivity Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility 117 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Quick Tips This section describes tips for troubleshooting some common problems. Sequence to Restart Your Network When you need to restart your network, follow this sequence:

1. Turn off and unplug the modem. 2. Turn off the router. 3. Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes. 4. Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes. Check Ethernet Cable Connections If your device does not power on, make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in. The Internet LED on the router is on if the Ethernet cable connecting the router and the modem is plugged in securely and the modem and router are turned on. For each powered-on computer connected to the router by an Ethernet cable, the corresponding numbered router LAN port LED is on. Wireless Settings Make sure that the wireless settings in the computer and router match exactly. For a wirelessly connected computer, the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless security settings of the router and wireless computer need to match exactly. If you set up an access list in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, you have to add each wireless computers MAC address to the routers access list. Network Settings Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct. Wired and wirelessly connected computers need to have network (IP) addresses on the same network as the router. The simplest way to do this is to configure each computer to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP. Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address in the Attached Devices screen. Troubleshooting 118 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Troubleshoot with the LEDs 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/Test LED 2. Verify that the Power/Test LED turns amber within a few seconds, indicating that the self-test is lit. is running. 3. After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:

The Power/Test LED is solid green. The Internet LED is lit. The Wireless LED is lit unless you turned off the wireless radio. The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting. Power/Test LED Is Off or Blinking Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet. Check that you are using the 12V DC, 2.5A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this product. If the Power/Test LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery instructions, or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support. Power/Test LED Stays Amber When the router is turned on, the Power/Test LED turns amber for about 20 seconds and then turns green. If the LED does not turn green, the router has a problem. If the Power/Test LED is still amber 1 minute after you turn on power to the router:

1. Turn off the power and then turn it back on to see if the router recovers. 2. Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings. See Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility on page 125. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem. Contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support. Troubleshooting 119 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router LEDs Never Turn Off When the router is turned on, the LEDs turn on for about 10 seconds and then turn off. If all the LEDs stay on, this indicates a fault within the router. If all LEDs are still on 1 minute after power-up:

Cycle the power to see if the router recovers. Press and hold the Reset button to return the router to its factory settings. For more information, see Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility on page 125. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem. Contact technical support at www.netgear.com/support. Internet or Ethernet Port LEDs Are Off If either the Ethernet port LEDs or the Internet LED does 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 modem or computer. Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer. Be sure that you are using the correct cable. When connecting the routers Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable. Wireless LEDs Are Off If the Wireless LEDs stay off, check to see if the WiFi On/Off button on the router has been pressed. This button turns the wireless radios in the router on and off. The Wireless LEDs are lit when the wireless radio is turned on. The Push 'N' Connect (WPS) Button Blinks Amber If you use the WPS function, and the WPS LED blinks amber, check the following:

Make sure that you are using the button and not the routers built-in registrar. Check that PIN verification has succeeded for the wireless device you are adding to the wireless network. Make sure that you have not pressed the WPS button on the side of the router after disabling the WPS feature (you logged in to the router and disabled this previously). Check that the router is not in the temporary AP setup locked state (if you are using the wireless repeater function). Troubleshooting 120 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Cannot Log In to the Router If you are unable to log in to the router 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. Make sure that the IP address of your computer 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 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. If your computers IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These autogenerated 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 sets the routers IP address to 192.168.1.1. For more information, see Factory Settings on page 128. Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded. Try quitting the browser and launching it again. Make sure that 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 you enter this information. If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as an additional router behind an existing router in your network, consider replacing the existing router. NETGEAR does not support such a configuration. If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as a replacement for an ADSL gateway in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services. For example, the router cannot convert ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking information. NETGEAR does not support such a configuration. Cannot Access the Internet If you can access your router but not the Internet, check to see if the router can obtain an IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP). Unless your ISP provides a fixed IP address, your router requests an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the Router Status screen. To check the WAN IP address:

1. Start your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com. 2. Access the router interface at www.routerlogin.net. 3. Select Administration > Router Status. Troubleshooting 121 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router 4. Check that an IP address is shown for the Internet port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP. If your router cannot obtain an IP address from the ISP, you might need to force your cable or DSL modem to recognize your new router by restarting your network. For more information, see Sequence to Restart Your Network on page If your router is still unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be one of the following:

Your Internet service provider (ISP) might require a login program. 118. Ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of login. If your ISP requires a login, the login name and password might be set incorrectly. Your ISP might check for your computers host name. Assign the computer host name of your ISP account as the account name in the Internet Setup screen. Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet and might check for your computers MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:

-

Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the routers MAC address.

- Configure your router to clone your computers MAC address. If your router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any web pages from the Internet:

Your computer might 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 provides 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. You can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation. Your computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP gateway. If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer, and verify the gateway address. You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that software after installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection. Troubleshooting 122 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Troubleshoot PPPoE If you are using PPPoE, try troubleshooting your Internet connection. To troubleshoot a PPPoE connection:

1. Select Administration > Router Status. 2. Click Connection Status. 3. Check the Connection Status display to see if your PPPoE connection is up and working. 4. If any of the field s on the Connection Status screen indicate Failed, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely. If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name, user name, or password. There might also be a provisioning problem with your ISP. 5. Note: Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate using PPPoE until data is transmitted to the network. Troubleshoot Internet Browsing If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages from the Internet, check the following:

Your computer might 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 provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the routers configuration, restart your computer. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as explained in the documentation for your computer. Your computer might not have the router configured as its default gateway. Reboot the computer and verify that the router address (www.routerlogin.net) is listed by your computer as the default gateway address. You might be running login software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that software after installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a connection. Troubleshooting 123 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Changes Not Saved If the router does not save the changes you make in the router interface, check the following:

When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to another screen or tab, or your changes are lost. Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browsers cache. Wireless Connectivity If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem. Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?

If not, check the WiFi LED on the front of the router. If it is off, you can press the WiFi On/Off button on the side of the router to turn the router wireless radios back on. If you disabled the routers SSID broadcast, then your wireless network is hidden and does not show up in your wireless clients scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is enabled.) Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless network (WPA or WPA2)?

If you want to view the wireless settings for the router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a computer to a LAN port on the router. Then log in to the router, and select Wireless see

(Basic Wireless Settings on page 24). Note:

Be sure to click Apply if you change settings. Wireless Signal Strength If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these conditions:

Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see whether the signal strength improves. Are objects between the router and your computer blocking the wireless signal?

Troubleshooting 124 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility Most network 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. You can easily troubleshoot a network is easy using the ping utility in your computer or workstation. Test 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 Windows computer:

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

ping www.routerlogin.net 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 For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port to which you are connected. Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router. Wrong network configuration Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your computer. Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet. Troubleshooting 125 R6200v2 Smart WiFi Router Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device. 1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run. 2. In the Windows Run window, type:

ping -n 10 <IP address>

where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP DNS server. If the path is functioning correctly, replies like those shown in the previous section are displayed. If you do not receive replies:

Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your computer Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the router is listed as the default gateway. Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote device. Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning. If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account name in the Internet Setup screen. Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single computer connected to that modem. If so, configure your router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized computer.

The phase center of the receiving antenna mounted on the top of a height-variable antenna tower was placed 3 meters far away from the turntable. 2. Power on the EUT and all the supporting units. The turntable was rotated by 360 degrees to 3. determine the position of the highest radiation. The height of the broadband receiving antenna was varied between one meter and four meters above ground to find the maximum emissions field strength of both horizontal and vertical polarization. 4. For each suspected emissions, the antenna tower was scan (from 1 M to 4 M) and then the turntable was rotated (from 0 degree to 360 degrees) to find the maximum reading. 5. Set the test-receiver system to Peak or CISPR quasi-peak Detect Function with specified bandwidth under Maximum Hold Mode. 6. For emissions above 1GHz, use 1MHz VBW and 3MHz RBW for peak reading. Then 1MHz RBW and 10Hz VBW for average reading in spectrum analyzer. 7. When the radiated emissions limits are expressed in terms of the average value of the emissions, and pulsed operation is employed, the measurement field strength shall be determined by averaging over one complete pulse train, including blanking intervals, as long as the pulse train does not exceed 0.1 seconds. As an alternative (provided the transmitter operates for longer than 0.1 seconds) or in cases where the pulse train exceeds 0.1 seconds, the measured field strength shall be determined from the average absolute voltage during a 0.1 second interval during which the field strength is at its maximum value. If the emissions level of the EUT in peak mode was 3 dB lower than the average 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 for below 1GHz. 8. 9. For testing above 1GHz, the emissions level of the EUT in peak mode was lower than average limit (that means the emissions 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. 10. In case the emission is lower than 30MHz, loop antenna has to be used for measurement and the recorded data should be QP measured by receiver. High Low scan is not required in this case.

Limit Report No.: FR351533AB Except for special regulations, the Low-power Radio-frequency Devices must not be equipped with any jacket for installing an antenna with extension cable. An intentional radiator shall be designed to ensure that no antenna other than that furnished by the responsible party shall be used with the device. The use of a permanently attached antenna or of an antenna that uses a unique coupling to the intentional radiator shall be considered sufficient to comply with the provisions of this Section. The manufacturer may design the unit so that the user can replace a broken antenna, but the use of a standard antenna jack or electrical connector is prohibited. Further, this requirement does not apply to intentional radiators that must be professionally installed. 4.7.2. Antenna Connector Construction Please refer to section 3.3 in this test report; antenna connector complied with the requirements. Report Format Version: 01 FCC ID: PY312400218 Page No. Issued Date
