46 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding The routers NAT (Network Address Translation) feature makes devices on the LAN use the same public IP address to communicate with devices on the internet, which protects the local network by hiding IP addresses of the devices. However, it also brings about the problem that an external host cannot initiatively communicate with a specified device on the local network. With the forwarding feature the router can penetrate the isolation of NAT and allows devices on the internet to initiatively communicate with devices on the local network, thus realizing some special functions. The TP-Link router supports four forwarding rules. If two or more rules are set, the priority of implementation from high to low is Virtual Servers, Port Triggering, UPNP and DMZ. It contains the following sections:

Share Local Resources on the Internet by Virtual Servers Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 10 1 Share Local Resources on the Internet by Virtual Servers When you build up a server on the local network and want to share it on the internet, Virtual Servers can realize the service and provide it to internet users. At the same time Virtual Servers can keep the local network safe as other services are still invisible from the internet. Virtual Servers can be used for setting up public services on your local network, such as HTTP, FTP, DNS, POP3/SMTP and Telnet. Different services use different service ports. Port 80 is used in HTTP service, port 21 in FTP service, port 25 in SMTP service and port 110 in POP3 service. Please verify the service port number before the configuration. I want to:

Share my personal website Ive built in local network with my friends through the internet. For example, the personal website has been built on my home PC (192.168.0.100). I hope that my friends on the internet can visit my website in some way. The PC is connected to the router with the WAN IP address 218.18.232.154. Personal Website Router Home LAN WAN: 218.18.232.154 INTERNET How can I do that?

1 Assign a static 192.168.0.100. IP address to your PC, for example 2 Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 3 Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Virtual Servers. 4 Click Add. Click View Existing Services and select HTTP. The External Port, Internal Port and Protocol will be automatically filled in. Enter the PCs IP address 192.168.0.100 in the Internal IP field. 5 Click OK. 48 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Done!

Tips:

It is recommended to keep the default settings of Internal Port and Protocol if you are not clear about which port and protocol to use. If the service you want to use is not in the Service Type, you can enter the corresponding parameters manually. You should verify the port number that the service needs. You can add multiple virtual server rules if you want to provide several services in a router. Please note that the External Port should not be overlapped. Users on the internet can enter http:// WAN IP (in this example:

http:// 218.18.232.154) to visit your personal website. Tips:

The WAN IP should be a public IP address. For the WAN IP is assigned dynamically by the ISP, it is recommended to apply and register a domain name for the WAN referring to Set Up a Dynamic DNS Service Account. Then users on the internet can use http:// domain name to visit the website. If you have changed the default External Port, you should use http:// WAN IP: External Port or http:// domain name: External Port to visit the website. 10 2 Open Ports Dynamically by Port Triggering Port Triggering can specify a triggering port and its corresponding external ports. When a host on the local network initiates a connection to the triggering port, all the external ports will be opened for subsequent connections. The router can record the IP address of the host. When the data from the internet return to the external ports, the router can forward them to the corresponding host. Port Triggering is mainly applied to online games, VoIPs, video players and common applications including MSN Gaming Zone, Dialpad and Quick Time 4 players, etc. Follow the steps below to configure the Port Triggering rules:

1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > Port Triggering and click Add. 49 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding 3. Click View Existing Applications, and select the desired application. The Triggering Port, External Port and Protocol will be automatically filled in. The following picture takes application MSN Gaming Zone as an example. 4. Click OK. Tips:

You can add multiple port triggering rules according to your network need. The triggering ports can not be overlapped. If the application you need is not listed in the Existing Applications list, please enter the parameters manually. You should verify the external ports the application uses first and enter them into External Port field according to the format the page displays. 10 3 Make Applications Free from Port Restriction by DMZ When a PC is set to be a DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) host on the local network, it is totally exposed to the internet, which can realize the unlimited bidirectional communication between internal hosts and external hosts. The DMZ host becomes a virtual server with all ports opened. When you are not clear about which ports to open in some special applications, such as IP camera and database software, you can set the PC to be a DMZ host. 50 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Note: When DMZ is enabled, the DMZ host is totally exposed to the internet, which may bring some potential safety hazards. If DMZ is not in use, please disable it in time. I want to:

Make the home PC join the internet online game without port restriction. For example, due to some port restriction, when playing the online games, you can login normally but cannot join a team with other players. To solve this problem, set your PC as a DMZ host with all ports open. 1 Assign a static IP address to your PC, for example 192.168.0.100. 2 Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 3 Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > DMZ and select Enable 4 Enter the IP address 192.168.0.100 in the DMZ Host IP DMZ. Address filed. How can I do that?

Done!

5 Click Save. The configuration is completed. Youve set your PC to a DMZ host and now you can make a team to game with other players. 10 4 Make Xbox Online Games Run Smoothly by UPnP The UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) protocol allows applications or host devices to automatically find the front-end NAT device and send request to it to open the corresponding ports. With UPnP enabled, the applications or host devices on the local network and the internet can freely communicate with each other thus realizing the seamless connection of the network. You may need to enable the UPnP if you want to use applications for multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communication (such as VoIP or telephone conference) or remote assistance, etc. 51 Chapter 10 NAT Forwarding Tips:

UPnP is enabled by default in this router. Only the application supporting UPnP protocol can use this feature. UPnP feature needs the support of operating system (e.g. Windows Vista/ Windows 7/ Windows 8, etc. Some of operating system need to install the UPnP components). For example, when you connect your Xbox to the router which has connected to the internet to play online games, UPnP will send request to the router to open the corresponding ports allowing the following data penetrating the NAT to transmit. Therefore, you can play Xbox online games without a hitch. LAN WAN Internet XBOX Router If necessary, you can follow the steps to change the status of UPnP. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for 2. Go to Advanced > NAT Forwarding > UPnP and toggle on or off according to your the router. needs. 52 Chapter 11 VPN Server The VPN (Virtual Private Networking) Server allows you to access your home network in a secured way through internet when you are out of home. The router offers two ways to setup VPN connection: OpenVPN and PPTP (Point to Point Tunneling Protocol) VPN. OpenVPN is somewhat complex but with greater security and more stable. It is suitable for restricted environment, such as campus network and company intranet. PPTP VPN is more easily used and its speed is faster, its compatible with most operating systems and also supports mobile devices. Its security is poor and your packets may be cracked easily, and PPTP VPN connection may be prevented by some ISP. It contains the following sections, please choose the appropriate VPN server connection type as needed.

For example, my house covers a large area. The wireless coverage of the router Im using (the root router) is limited. I want to use an extended router to extend the wireless network of the root router. Note:

WDS bridging only requires configuration on the extended router. WDS bridging function can be enabled either in 2.4GHz frequency or 5GHz frequency for a dual-band router. We use the WDS bridging function in 2.4GHz frequency as example. 1. Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 2. Configure the IP address of the router:

1 ) Go to Advanced > Network > LAN, configure the IP address of the extended router to be in the same subnet with the root router; (For example, the IP address of the root router is 192.168.0.1, the IP address of the extended router can be 192.168.0.2~192.168.0.254. We take 192.168.0.2 as example.) 2 ) Click Save. Note: Log in to the web management page again if the IP address of the router is altered. 3. Survey the SSID to be bridged:

1 ) Go to Advanced > Guest Network and focus on the Wireless section. Click 2.4GHz and untick the Enable Guest Network checkbox. 2 ) Go to Advanced > System Tools > System Parameters and focus on the 2.4GHz Wireless section, click Enable WDS Bridging. 3 ) Click Survey, locate the root routers SSID and click Choose (Here we take TP-Link_4F98 as example). If the root router has wireless password, you should enter the wireless password of the root router. 4 ) 5 ) Click Save. 4. Disable DHCP:

1 ) Go to Network > DHCP Server. 2 ) Deselect Enable DHCP Server and click Save. Now you can go to Advanced > Status > Wireless to check the WDS status. When the WDS status is Run, it means WDS bridging is successfully built. Q6 What should I do if I cannot access the internet even though the configuration is finished?

Tips:

Some ISP will register the MAC address of your computer when you access the internet for the first time through their Cable modem, if you add a router into your network to share your internet connection, the ISP will not accept it as the MAC address is changed, so we need to clone your computers MAC address to the router. The MAC addresses of a computer in wired connection and wireless connection are different. Modify the LAN IP address of the router. Note:

Most TP-Link routers use 192.168.0.1/192.168.1.1 as their default LAN IP address, which may conflict with the IP range of your existing ADSL modem/router. If so, the router is not able to communicate with your modem and you cant access the internet. To resolve this problem, we need to change the LAN IP address of the router to avoid such conflict, for example, 192.168.2.1. 1 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 78 2 ) Go to Advanced > Network > LAN. 3 ) Modify the LAN IP address as the follow picture shows. Here we take 192.168.2.1 as an example. 4 ) Click Save. Restart the modem and the router. 1 ) Power off your modem and router, and leave them off for 1 minute. 2 ) Power on your modem first, and wait about 2 minutes until it get a solid cable or Internet light. 3 ) Power on the router. 4 ) Wait another 1 or 2 minutes and check the internet access. Double check the internet connection type. 1 ) Confirm your internet connection type, which can be learned from the ISP. 2 ) Visit http://tplinkwifi.net, and log in with your TP-Link ID or the password you set for the router. 3 ) Go to Advanced > Network > Internet. 4 ) Select your Internet Connection Type and fill in other parameters. 5 ) Click Save. 6 ) Restart the modem and the router again. connect the wireless network?
