CHAPTER 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the EMG2926-Q10A. The EMG2926-Q10A extends the range of your existing wired network without additional wiring, providing easy network access to mobile users. You can set up a wireless network with other IEEE 802.11a/ac/b/g/n compatible devices. A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing. The EMG2926-Q10A also supports the new StreamBoost technology, which is smart Quality of Service (QoS), to redistribute traffic over the EMG2926-Q10A for the best possible performance in a home network. There are two USB 2.0 ports on the side panel of your EMG2926-Q10A. You can connect USB

(version 2.0 or lower) memory sticks, USB hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The EMG2926-Q10A automatically detects the USB devices. Two USB eject buttons are located above the USB ports. Push the eject button of the corresponding USB port for 2 seconds. Make sure the USB LED is off before removing your USB device. This will remove your USB device safely, preventing file or data loss if it is being transmitted through the USB device. Figure 1 USB Ports and Eject Buttons Eject buttons USB ports Note: For the USB function, it is strongly recommended to use version 2.0 or lower USB storage devices (such as memory sticks, USB hard drives) and/or USB devices

(such as USB printers). Other USB products are not guaranteed to function properly with the EMG2926-Q10A. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 12 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.1.1 Dual-Band The EMG2926-Q10A is a dual-band AP and able to function both 2.4G and 5G networks at the same time. You could use the 2.4 GHz band for regular Internet surfing and downloading while using the 5 GHz band for time sensitive traffic like high-definition video, music, and gaming. Figure 2 Dual-Band Application 1.2 Applications Your can have the following networks using the EMG2926-Q10A:

Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the EMG2926-Q10A so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet. Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the EMG2926-Q10A to access network resources. You can use WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) to create an instant network connection with another WPS-

compatible device. WAN. Connect to a broadband modem/router for Internet access. 1.3 Ways to Manage the EMG2926-Q10A Use any of the following methods to manage the EMG2926-Q10A. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup). You can use the WPS button or the WPS section of the Web Configurator to set up a wireless network with your ZyXEL Device. Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the EMG2926-Q10A using a (supported) web browser. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 13 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.4 Good Habits for Managing the EMG2926-Q10A Do the following things regularly to make the EMG2926-Q10A more secure and to manage the EMG2926-Q10A more effectively. Change the password. Use a password thats not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. Write down the password and put it in a safe place. Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the EMG2926-Q10A to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the EMG2926-Q10A. You could simply restore your last configuration. 1.5 Resetting the EMG2926-Q10A If you forget your password or IP address, or you cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the EMG2926-Q10A to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the user name will be reset to admin and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.0.1. 1.5.1 How to Use the RESET Button 1 Make sure the power LED is on. 2 3 Press the RESET button for one to four seconds to restart/reboot the EMG2926-Q10A. Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the EMG2926-Q10A back to its factory-

default configurations. 1.6 The WPS Button Your EMG2926-Q10A supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the Wi-Fi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each devices documentation to make sure). Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves. You can use the WPS button (

order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 21 Chapter 2 Connection Wizard 2.3.2 Connection Type: PPPoE Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) functions as a dial-up connection. PPPoE is an IETF

(Internet Engineering Task Force) standard specifying how a host personal computer interacts with a broadband modem (for example DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) to achieve access to high-speed data networks. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for instance, RADIUS). One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let end users access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for specific users. Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both the subscriber and the ISP/carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the subscriber's site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the EMG2926-Q10A (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the EMG2926-Q10A does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access. Figure 10 Internet Connection Type: PPPoE The following table describes the labels in this screen.

Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS Configure Wireless Security without WPS Using Multiple SSIDs on the EMG2926-Q10A 8.2 Set Up a Wireless Network with WPS This section gives you an example of how to set up wireless network using WPS. This example uses the EMG2926-Q10A as the AP and NWD210N as the wireless client which connects to a notebook. Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or PCI card). There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both. Push Button Configuration (PBC) - create a secure wireless network simply by pressing a button. See Section 8.2.1 on page 57.This is the easier method. PIN Configuration - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN

(Personal Identification Number) in the EMG2926-Q10As interface. See Section 8.2.2 on page 58. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other. 8.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC) 1 Make sure that your EMG2926-Q10A is turned on. Make sure the WIFI button (at the side panel of the EMG2926-Q10A) is pushed in, and that the device is placed within range of your notebook. 2 Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook. 3 4 In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (Start or WPS button) Log into EMG2926-Q10As Web Configurator and press the Push Button in the Configuration >

Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G > WPS Station screen. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 57 Chapter 8 Tutorials Note: Your EMG2926-Q10A has a WPS button located on its panel, as well as a WPS button in its configuration utility. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other. Note: It doesnt matter which button is pressed first. You must press the second button within two minutes of pressing the first one. The EMG2926-Q10A sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. This may take up to two minutes. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the EMG2926-Q10A securely. The following figure shows you an example to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on both EMG2926-Q10A and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example).

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 74 CHAPTER 10 WAN 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses the EMG2926-Q10As WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your EMG2926-Q10A for Internet access. A WAN (Wide Area Network) connection is an outside connection to another network or the Internet. It connects your private networks such as a LAN (Local Area Network) and other networks, so that a computer in one location can communicate with computers in other locations. Figure 48 LAN and WAN 10.2 What You Can Do Use the Internet Connection screen to enter your ISP information and set how the computer acquires its IP, DNS and WAN MAC addresses (Section 10.4 on page 78). Use the Advanced screen to enable multicasting, configure Windows networking and bridge

(Section 10.5 on page 84). 10.3 What You Need To Know The information in this section can help you configure the screens for your WAN connection, as well as enable/disable some advanced features of your EMG2926-Q10A. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 75 Chapter 10 WAN 10.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection Encapsulation Method Encapsulation is used to include data from an upper layer protocol into a lower layer protocol. To set up a WAN connection to the Internet, you need to use the same encapsulation method used by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If your ISP offers a dial-up Internet connection using PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) or PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), they should also provide a username and password (and service name) for user authentication. WAN IP Address The WAN IP address is an IP address for the EMG2926-Q10A, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the EMG2926-Q10A to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static (fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the EMG2926-Q10A tries to access the Internet. If your ISP assigns you a static WAN IP address, they should also assign you the subnet mask and DNS server IP address(es) (and a gateway IP address if you use the Ethernet or ENET ENCAP encapsulation method). DNS Server Address Assignment Use Domain Name System (DNS) to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice versa, for instance, the IP address of www.zyxel.com is 204.217.0.2. The DNS server is extremely important because without it, you must know the IP address of a computer before you can access it. The EMG2926-Q10A can get the DNS server addresses in the following ways. 1 2 The ISP tells you the DNS server addresses, usually in the form of an information sheet, when you sign up. If your ISP gives you DNS server addresses, manually enter them in the DNS server fields. If your ISP dynamically assigns the DNS server IP addresses (along with the EMG2926-Q10As WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP. IPv6 Rapid Deployment Use IPv6 Rapid Deployment (6rd) when the local network uses IPv6 and the ISP has an IPv4 network. When the EMG2926-Q10A has an IPv4 WAN address and you set IPv6/IPv4 mode to IPv4 Only, you can enable 6rd to encapsulate IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets to cross the ISPs IPv4 network. The EMG2926-Q10A generates a global IPv6 prefix from its IPv4 WAN address and tunnels IPv6 traffic to the ISPs Border Relay router (BR in the figure) to connect to the native IPv6 Internet. The local network can also use IPv4 services. The EMG2926-Q10A uses its configured IPv4 WAN IP to route IPv4 traffic to the IPv4 Internet.

Choose Factory Default to select the factory assigned default MAC Address. Otherwise, click Clone the computer's MAC address - IP Address and enter the IP address of the computer on the LAN whose MAC you are cloning. Once it is successfully configured, the address will be copied to configuration file. It is recommended that you clone the MAC address prior to hooking up the WAN Port. Multicast Traditionally, IP packets are transmitted in one of either two ways - Unicast (1 sender - 1 recipient) or Broadcast (1 sender - everybody on the network). Multicast delivers IP packets to a group of hosts on the network - not everybody and not just 1. Figure 50 Multicast Example In the multicast example above, systems A and D comprise one multicast group. In multicasting, the server only needs to send one data stream and this is delivered to systems A and D. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 77 Chapter 10 WAN IGMP (Internet Group Multicast Protocol) is a network-layer protocol used to establish membership in a multicast group - it is not used to carry user data. The EMG2926-Q10A supports both IGMP version 1 (IGMP-v1) and IGMP version 2 (IGMP-v2). At start up, the EMG2926-Q10A queries all directly connected networks to gather group membership. After that, the EMG2926-Q10A periodically updates this information. IP multicasting can be enabled/disabled on the EMG2926-Q10A WAN interface in the Web Configurator (WAN). Select None to disable IP multicasting on these interfaces. 10.4 Internet Connection Use this screen to change your EMG2926-Q10As Internet access settings.

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. 10.4.2 PPPoE Encapsulation The EMG2926-Q10A supports PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet). PPPoE is an IETF standard (RFC 2516) specifying how a personal computer (PC) interacts with a broadband modem

(DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) connection. The PPP over Ethernet option is for a dial-up connection using PPPoE. For the service provider, PPPoE offers an access and authentication method that works with existing access control systems (for example Radius). One of the benefits of PPPoE is the ability to let you access one of multiple network services, a function known as dynamic service selection. This enables the service provider to easily create and offer new IP services for individuals. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 81 Chapter 10 WAN Operationally, PPPoE saves significant effort for both you and the ISP or carrier, as it requires no specific configuration of the broadband modem at the customer site. By implementing PPPoE directly on the EMG2926-Q10A (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the EMG2926-Q10A does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs computers will have access. This screen displays when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 85 CHAPTER 11 Wireless LAN 11.1 Overview This chapter discusses how to configure the wireless network settings in your EMG2926-Q10A. The EMG2926-Q10A is able to function both 2.4GHz and 5GHz network at the same time. You can have different wireless and wireless security settings for 2.4GHz and 5GHz wireless LANs. Click Configuration > Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G or Wireless LAN 5G to configure to do so. See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks. The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. Figure 54 Example of a Wireless Network The wireless network is the part in the blue circle. In this wireless network, devices A and B are called wireless clients. The wireless clients use the access point (AP) to interact with other devices

(such as the printer) or with the Internet. Your EMG2926-Q10A is the AP. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 86 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN 11.1.1 What You Can Do Use the General screen to turn the wireless connection on or off, set up wireless security between the EMG2926-Q10A and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section 11.2 on page 91). Use the More AP screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your EMG2926-Q10A (Section 11.4 on page 99). Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the EMG2926-Q10A (Section 11.5 on page 102). Use the Advanced screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 11.6 on page 104). Use the QoS screen to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) in your wireless network (Section 11.7 on page 105). Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually (Section 11.8 on page 105). Use the WPS Station screen to add a wireless station using WPS (Section 11.9 on page 107). Use the Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 11.10 on page 107). 11.1.2 What You Should Know Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines. Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. SSID Normally, the AP acts like a beacon and regularly broadcasts the SSID in the area. You can hide the SSID instead, in which case the AP does not broadcast the SSID. In addition, you should change the default SSID to something that is difficult to guess. This type of security is fairly weak, however, because there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the SSID. In addition, unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 87 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN MAC Address Filter Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate Users Guide or other documentation. You can use the MAC address filter to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed or not allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings. This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network. User Authentication You can make every user log in to the wireless network before they can use it. This is called user authentication. However, every wireless client in the wireless network has to support IEEE 802.1x to do this. For wireless networks, there are two typical places to store the user names and passwords for each user. In the AP: this feature is called a local user database or a local database. In a RADIUS server: this is a server used in businesses more than in homes. If your AP does not provide a local user database and if you do not have a RADIUS server, you cannot set up user names and passwords for your users. Unauthorized devices can still see the information that is sent in the wireless network, even if they cannot use the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized wireless users to get a valid user name and password. Then, they can use that user name and password to use the wireless network. Local user databases also have an additional limitation that is explained in the next section. Encryption Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message. 1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses. 2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 88 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See page 88 for information about this.) Table 30 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication Weakest NO AUTHENTICATION No Security RADIUS SERVER WPA Static WEP WPA-PSK Strongest WPA2-PSK WPA2 For example, if the wireless network has a RADIUS server, you can choose WPA or WPA2. If users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no encryption, Static WEP, WPA-PSK, or WPA2-PSK. Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. For example, suppose the AP does not have a local user database, and you do not have a RADIUS server. Therefore, there is no user authentication. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA. Therefore, you should set up Static WEP in the wireless network. Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, WPA, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly. Note: It is not possible to use WPA-PSK, WPA or stronger encryption with a local user database. In this case, it is better to set up stronger encryption with no authentication than to set up weaker encryption with the local user database. When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your EMG2926-Q10A, you can also select an option

(WPA/WPA-PSK Compatible) to support WPA/WPA-PSK as well. In this case, if some wireless clients support WPA and some support WPA2, you should set up WPA2-PSK or WPA2 (depending on the type of wireless network login) and select the WPA/WPA-PSK Compatible option in the EMG2926-Q10A. Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key. Guest WLAN Guest WLAN allows you to set up a wireless network where users can access to Internet via the EMG2926-Q10A (Z), but not other networks connected to the Z. In the following figure, a guest user can access the Internet from the guest wireless network A via Z but not the home or company network N. Note: The home or company network N and Guest WLAN network are independent networks. Note: Only Router mode supports guest WLAN. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 89 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Figure 55 Guest Wireless LAN Network A Z N Guest WLAN Bandwidth The Guest WLAN Bandwidth function allows you to restrict the maximum bandwidth for the guest wireless network. Additionally, you can also define bandwidth for your home or office network. An example is shown next to define maximum bandwidth for your networks (A is Guest WLAN and N is home or company network.) Figure 56 Example: Bandwidth for Different Networks N 600 kbps 100 kbps 300 kbps A WPS WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 90 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 8.2 on page 57. 11.2 General Wireless LAN Screen Use this screen to configure the SSID and wireless security of the wireless LAN. Note: If you are configuring the EMG2926-Q10A from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the EMG2926-Q10As SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm. You must then change the wireless settings of your computer to match the EMG2926-Q10As new settings. Click Network > Wireless LAN 2.4G/5G to open the General screen.

Refer to the Connection Wizard chapter for more information on channels. This option is only available if Auto Channel Selection is disabled. Select this check box for the EMG2926-Q10A to automatically choose the channel with the least interference. Deselect this check box if you wish to manually select the channel using the Channel Selection field. This displays the channel the EMG2926-Q10A is currently using. Auto Channel Selection Operating Channel Channel Width Select the wireless channel width used by EMG2926-Q10A. A standard 20MHz channel offers transfer speeds of up to 144Mbps (2.4GHz) or 217Mbps

(5GHZ) whereas a 40MHz channel uses two standard channels and offers speeds of up to 300Mbps (2.4GHz) or 450Mbps (5GHZ). An IEEE 802.11ac-specific 80MHz channel offers speeds of up to 1.3Gbps. Because not all devices support 40 MHz and/or 80 MHz channels, select Auto 20/40 MHz or Auto 20/40/80 MHz to allow the EMG2926-Q10A to adjust the channel bandwidth automatically. 40 MHz (channel bonding or dual channel) bonds two adjacent radio channels to increase throughput. A 80 MHz channel consists of two adjacent 40 MHz channels. The wireless clients must also support 40 MHz or 80 MHz. It is often better to use the 20 MHz setting in a location where the environment hinders the wireless signal. Select 20 MHz if you want to lessen radio interference with other wireless devices in your neighborhood or the wireless clients do not support channel bonding. 802.11 Mode If you are in the Wireless LAN 2.4G > General screen, you can select from the following:

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 108 CHAPTER 12 LAN 12.1 Overview This chapter describes how to configure LAN settings. A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached. A LAN is a computer network limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building. Figure 71 LAN Example The LAN screens can help you configure a manage IP address, and partition your physical network into logical networks. 12.2 What You Can Do Use the IP screen to change the IPv4 address for your EMG2926-Q10A (Section 12.4 on page 110). Use the IP Alias screen to have the EMG2926-Q10A apply IP alias to create LAN subnets

(Section 12.5 on page 111). Use the IPv6 LAN screen to configure the IPv6 address for your EMG2926-Q10A on the LAN

(Section 12.6 on page 112). 12.3 What You Need To Know The actual physical connection determines whether the EMG2926-Q10A ports are LAN or WAN ports. There are two separate IP networks, one inside the LAN network and the other outside the WAN network as shown next. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 109 Chapter 12 LAN Figure 72 LAN and WAN IP Addresses The LAN parameters of the EMG2926-Q10A in router mode are preset in the factory with the following values:

IPv4 address of 192.168.0.1 with subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (24 bits) DHCP server enabled with 32 client IP addresses starting from 192.168.0.33. These parameters should work for the majority of installations. If your ISP gives you explicit DNS server address(es), read the embedded Web Configurator help regarding what fields need to be configured. 12.3.1 IP Alias IP alias allows you to partition a physical network into different logical networks over the same Ethernet interface. The EMG2926-Q10A supports three logical LAN interfaces via its single physical Ethernet interface with the EMG2926-Q10A itself as the gateway for each LAN network. 12.4 LAN IP Screen Use this screen to change the IPv4 address for your EMG2926-Q10A.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 112 CHAPTER 13 DHCP Server 13.1 Overview DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol, RFC 2131 and RFC 2132) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up from a server. You can configure the EMG2926-Q10As LAN as a DHCP server or disable it. When configured as a server, the EMG2926-Q10A provides the TCP/

IP configuration for the clients. If DHCP service is disabled, you must have another DHCP server on your LAN, or else the computer must be manually configured. 13.1.1 What You Can Do Use the General screen to enable the DHCP server (Section 13.2 on page 114). Use the Advanced screen to assign IP addresses on the LAN to specific individual computers based on their MAC Addresses (Section 13.3 on page 114). Use the Client List screen to view the current DHCP client information (Section 13.4 on page 116). 13.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. LAN TCP/IP The EMG2926-Q10A has built-in DHCP server capability that assigns IP addresses and DNS servers to systems that support DHCP client capability. IP Pool Setup The EMG2926-Q10A is pre-configured with a pool of 32 IP addresses starting from 192.168.0.33 to 192.168.0.64. This configuration leaves 31 IP addresses (excluding the EMG2926-Q10A itself) in the lower range (192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.32) for other server computers, for instance, servers for mail, FTP, TFTP, web, etc., that you may have. MAC Addresses Every Ethernet device has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. Find out the MAC addresses of your network devices if you intend to add them to the DHCP Client List screen.

Reserve Apply Cancel EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 117 CHAPTER 14 NAT 14.1 Overview NAT (Network Address Translation - NAT, RFC 1631) is the translation of the IP address of a host in a packet. For example, the source address of an outgoing packet, used within one network is changed to a different IP address known within another network. The figure below is a simple illustration of a NAT network. You want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.0.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses to the devices (A to D) connected to your EMG2926-Q10A. The ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet. All traffic coming from A to D going out to the Internet use the IP address of the EMG2926-Q10A, which is 192.168.0.1. Figure 79 NAT Example A: 192.168.0.33 FTP, Telnet, SNMP Ports 21 to 25 B: 192.168.0.34 Port 80 C: 192.168.0.35 LAN WAN 192.168.0.1 IP address assigned by ISP This chapter discusses how to configure NAT on the EMG2926-Q10A. Note: You must create a firewall rule in addition to setting up NAT, to allow traffic from the WAN to be forwarded through the EMG2926-Q10A. 14.1.1 What You Can Do Use the General screen to enable NAT (Section 14.2 on page 120). EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 118 Chapter 14 NAT Use the Port Forwarding screen to set a default server and change your EMG2926-Q10As port forwarding settings to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network

(Section 14.3 on page 121). Use the Port Trigger screen to change your EMG2926-Q10As trigger port settings (Section 14.5.3 on page 127). 14.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. Inside/Outside This denotes where a host is located relative to the EMG2926-Q10A, for example, the computers of your subscribers are the inside hosts, while the web servers on the Internet are the outside hosts. Global/Local This denotes the IP address of a host in a packet as the packet traverses a router, for example, the local address refers to the IP address of a host when the packet is in the local network, while the global address refers to the IP address of the host when the same packet is traveling in the WAN side. Note: Inside/outside refers to the location of a host, while global/local refers to the IP address of a host used in a packet. An inside local address (ILA) is the IP address of an inside host in a packet when the packet is still in the local network, while an inside global address (IGA) is the IP address of the same inside host when the packet is on the WAN side. The following table summarizes this information. Table 50 NAT Definitions ITEM Inside DESCRIPTION This refers to the host on the LAN. Outside This refers to the host on the WAN. Local Global This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the LAN. This refers to the packet address (source or destination) as the packet travels on the WAN. Note: NAT never changes the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host. What NAT Does In the simplest form, NAT changes the source IP address in a packet received from a subscriber

(the inside local address) to another (the inside global address) before forwarding the packet to the WAN side. When the response comes back, NAT translates the destination address (the inside global address) back to the inside local address before forwarding it to the original inside host. Note that the IP address (either local or global) of an outside host is never changed. The global IP addresses for the inside hosts can be either static or dynamically assigned by the ISP. In addition, you can designate servers, for example, a web server and a telnet server, on your local EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 119 Chapter 14 NAT network and make them accessible to the outside world. If you do not define any servers , NAT offers the additional benefit of firewall protection. With no servers defined, your EMG2926-Q10A filters out all incoming inquiries, thus preventing intruders from probing your network. For more information on IP address translation, refer to RFC 1631, The IP Network Address Translator (NAT). How NAT Works Each packet has two addresses a source address and a destination address. For outgoing packets, the ILA (Inside Local Address) is the source address on the LAN, and the IGA (Inside Global Address) is the source address on the WAN. For incoming packets, the ILA is the destination address on the LAN, and the IGA is the destination address on the WAN. NAT maps private (local) IP addresses to globally unique ones required for communication with hosts on other networks. It replaces the original IP source address in each packet and then forwards it to the Internet. The EMG2926-Q10A keeps track of the original addresses and port numbers so incoming reply packets can have their original values restored. The following figure illustrates this. Figure 80 How NAT Works 14.2 NAT General Screen Use this screen to enable NAT and set a default server. Click Network > NAT to open the General screen.

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh. 14.3 Port Forwarding Screen Use this screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network and set a default server. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded. Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP. Port forwarding allows you to define the local servers to which the incoming services will be forwarded. To change your EMG2926-Q10As port forwarding settings, click Network > NAT >

Use the Port Forwarding screen to forward incoming service requests to the server(s) on your local network. You may enter a single port number or a range of port numbers to be forwarded, and the local IP address of the desired server. The port number identifies a service; for example, web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21. In some cases, such as for unknown services or where one server can support more than one service (for example both FTP and web service), it might be better to specify a range of port numbers. In addition to the servers for specified services, NAT supports a default server. A service request that does not have a server explicitly designated for it is forwarded to the default server. If the default is not defined, the service request is simply discarded. Note: Many residential broadband ISP accounts do not allow you to run any server processes (such as a Web or FTP server) from your location. Your ISP may periodically check for servers and may suspend your account if it discovers any active services at your location. If you are unsure, refer to your ISP. 14.5.2 NAT Port Forwarding Example Let's say you want to assign ports 21-25 to one FTP, Telnet and SMTP server (A in the example), port 80 to another (B in the example) and assign a default server IP address of 192.168.0.35 to a third (C in the example). You assign the LAN IP addresses and the ISP assigns the WAN IP address. The NAT network appears as a single host on the Internet. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 126 Chapter 14 NAT Figure 85 Multiple Servers Behind NAT Example 14.5.3 Trigger Port Forwarding Some services use a dedicated range of ports on the client side and a dedicated range of ports on the server side. With regular port forwarding you set a forwarding port in NAT to forward a service

(coming in from the server on the WAN) to the IP address of a computer on the client side (LAN). The problem is that port forwarding only forwards a service to a single LAN IP address. In order to use the same service on a different LAN computer, you have to manually replace the LAN computer's IP address in the forwarding port with another LAN computer's IP address. Trigger port forwarding solves this problem by allowing computers on the LAN to dynamically take turns using the service. The EMG2926-Q10A records the IP address of a LAN computer that sends traffic to the WAN to request a service with a specific port number and protocol (a "trigger" port). When the EMG2926-Q10A's WAN port receives a response with a specific port number and protocol

("incoming" port), the EMG2926-Q10A forwards the traffic to the LAN IP address of the computer that sent the request. After that computers connection for that service closes, another computer on the LAN can use the service in the same manner. This way you do not need to configure a new IP address each time you want a different LAN computer to use the application. 14.5.4 Trigger Port Forwarding Example The following is an example of trigger port forwarding. Figure 86 Trigger Port Forwarding Process: Example Janes computer Real Audio Server Port 7070 1 Jane requests a file from the Real Audio server (port 7070). EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 127 Chapter 14 NAT 2 3 4 Port 7070 is a trigger port and causes the EMG2926-Q10A to record Janes computer IP address. The EMG2926-Q10A associates Jane's computer IP address with the "incoming" port range of 6970-

7170. The Real Audio server responds using a port number ranging between 6970-7170. The EMG2926-Q10A forwards the traffic to Janes computer IP address. 5 Only Jane can connect to the Real Audio server until the connection is closed or times out. The EMG2926-Q10A times out in three minutes with UDP (User Datagram Protocol), or two hours with TCP/IP (Transfer Control Protocol/Internet Protocol). 14.5.5 Two Points To Remember About Trigger Ports 1 2 Trigger events only happen on data that is coming from inside the EMG2926-Q10A and going to the outside. If an application needs a continuous data stream, that port (range) will be tied up so that another computer on the LAN cant trigger it. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 128 CHAPTER 15 DDNS 15.1 Overview DDNS services let you use a domain name with a dynamic IP address. 15.1.1 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. What is DDNS?

Dynamic Domain Name Service (DDNS) services let you use a fixed domain name with a dynamic IP address. Users can always use the same domain name instead of a different dynamic IP address that changes each time to connect to the EMG2926-Q10A or a server in your network.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 130 CHAPTER 16 Static Route 16.1 Overview This chapter shows you how to configure static routes for your EMG2926-Q10A. The EMG2926-Q10A usually uses the default gateway to route outbound traffic from computers on the LAN to the Internet. To have the EMG2926-Q10A send data to devices not reachable through the default gateway, use static routes. For example, the next figure shows a computer (A) connected to the EMG2926-Q10As LAN interface. The EMG2926-Q10A routes most traffic from A to the Internet through the EMG2926-

Q10As default gateway (R1). You create one static route to connect to services offered by your ISP behind router R2. You create another static route to communicate with a separate network behind a router R3 connected to the LAN.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 133 CHAPTER 17 Firewall 17.1 Overview Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your EMG2926-Q10A and your LAN from unwanted or malicious traffic. Enable the firewall to protect your LAN computers from attacks by hackers on the Internet and control access between the LAN and WAN. By default the firewall:

allows traffic that originates from your LAN computers to go to all of the networks. blocks traffic that originates on the other networks from going to the LAN. The following figure illustrates the default firewall action. User A can initiate an IM (Instant Messaging) session from the LAN to the WAN (1). Return traffic for this session is also allowed (2). However other traffic initiated from the WAN is blocked (3 and 4). Figure 91 Default Firewall Action LAN WAN A 1 2 3 4 17.1.1 What You Can Do Use the General screen to enable or disable the EMG2926-Q10As firewall (Section 17.2 on page 136). Use the Services screen to enable service blocking, enter/delete/modify the services you want to block and the date/time you want to block them (Section 17.3 on page 136). 17.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 134 Chapter 17 Firewall What is a Firewall?

Originally, the term firewall referred to a construction technique designed to prevent the spread of fire from one room to another. The networking term "firewall" is a system or group of systems that enforces an access-control policy between two networks. It may also be defined as a mechanism used to protect a trusted network from a network that is not trusted. Of course, firewalls cannot solve every security problem. A firewall is one of the mechanisms used to establish a network security perimeter in support of a network security policy. It should never be the only mechanism or method employed. For a firewall to guard effectively, you must design and deploy it appropriately. This requires integrating the firewall into a broad information-security policy. In addition, specific policies must be implemented within the firewall itself. Stateful Inspection Firewall Stateful inspection firewalls restrict access by screening data packets against defined access rules. They make access control decisions based on IP address and protocol. They also "inspect" the session data to assure the integrity of the connection and to adapt to dynamic protocols. These firewalls generally provide the best speed and transparency; however, they may lack the granular application level access control or caching that some proxies support. Firewalls, of one type or another, have become an integral part of standard security solutions for enterprises. About the EMG2926-Q10A Firewall The EMG2926-Q10As firewall feature physically separates the LAN and the WAN and acts as a secure gateway for all data passing between the networks. It is a stateful inspection firewall and is designed to protect against Denial of Service attacks when activated (click the General tab under Firewall and then click the Enable Firewall check box). The EMG2926-Q10A's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The EMG2926-Q10A can be used to prevent theft, destruction and modification of data, as well as log events, which may be important to the security of your network. The EMG2926-Q10A is installed between the LAN and a broadband modem connecting to the Internet. This allows it to act as a secure gateway for all data passing between the Internet and the LAN. The EMG2926-Q10A has one Ethernet WAN port and four Ethernet LAN ports, which are used to physically separate the network into two areas.The WAN (Wide Area Network) port attaches to the broadband (cable or DSL) modem to the Internet. The LAN (Local Area Network) port attaches to a network of computers, which needs security from the outside world. These computers will have access to Internet services such as e-mail, FTP and the World Wide Web. However, "inbound access" is not allowed (by default) unless the remote host is authorized to use a specific service. Guidelines For Enhancing Security With Your Firewall Change the default password via Web Configurator. Think about access control before you connect to the network in any way, including attaching a modem to the port. 1 2 EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 135 Chapter 17 Firewall 3 Limit who can access your router. 4 Don't enable any local service (such as NTP) that you don't use. Any enabled service could present a potential security risk. A determined hacker might be able to find creative ways to misuse the enabled services to access the firewall or the network. 5 6 7 For local services that are enabled, protect against misuse. Protect by configuring the services to communicate only with specific peers, and protect by configuring rules to block packets for the services at specific interfaces. Protect against IP spoofing by making sure the firewall is active. Keep the firewall in a secured (locked) room. 17.2 General Screen Use this screen to enable or disable the EMG2926-Q10As firewall, and set up firewall logs.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 138 CHAPTER 18 Content Filtering 18.1 Overview This chapter provides a brief overview of content filtering using the embedded web GUI. Internet content filtering allows you to create and enforce Internet access policies tailored to your needs. Content filtering is the ability to block certain web features or specific URL keywords. 18.1.1 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. Content Filtering Profiles Content filtering allows you to block certain web features, such as cookies, and/or block access to specific web sites. For example, you can configure one policy that blocks John Does access to arts and entertainment web pages. A content filtering profile conveniently stores your custom settings for the following features. Keyword Blocking URL Checking The EMG2926-Q10A checks the URLs domain name (or IP address) and file path separately when performing keyword blocking. The URLs domain name or IP address is the characters that come before the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the domain name is www.zyxel.com.tw. The file path is the characters that come after the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, the file path is news/pressroom.php. Since the EMG2926-Q10A checks the URLs domain name (or IP address) and file path separately, it will not find items that go across the two. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/

pressroom.php, the EMG2926-Q10A would find tw in the domain name (www.zyxel.com.tw). It would also find news in the file path (news/pressroom.php) but it would not find tw/news. 18.2 Content Filter Use this screen to restrict web features, add keywords for blocking and designate a trusted computer. Click Security > Content Filter to open the Content Filter screen.

Click Cancel to begin configuring this screen afresh EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 140 Chapter 18 Content Filtering 18.3 Technical Reference The following section contains additional technical information about the EMG2926-Q10A features described in this chapter. 18.3.1 Customizing Keyword Blocking URL Checking You can use commands to set how much of a websites URL the content filter is to check for keyword blocking. See the appendices for information on how to access and use the command interpreter. Domain Name or IP Address URL Checking By default, the EMG2926-Q10A checks the URLs domain name or IP address when performing keyword blocking. This means that the EMG2926-Q10A checks the characters that come before the first slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, content filtering only searches for keywords within www.zyxel.com.tw. Full Path URL Checking Full path URL checking has the EMG2926-Q10A check the characters that come before the last slash in the URL. For example, with the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/news/pressroom.php, full path URL checking searches for keywords within www.zyxel.com.tw/news/. Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 6 [disable | enable] command to extend (or not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's full path. File Name URL Checking Filename URL checking has the EMG2926-Q10A check all of the characters in the URL. For example, filename URL checking searches for keywords within the URL www.zyxel.com.tw/

news/pressroom.php. Use the ip urlfilter customize actionFlags 8 [disable | enable] command to extend (or not extend) the keyword blocking search to include the URL's complete filename.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 148 CHAPTER 21 StreamBoost Management 21.1 Overview The EMG2926-Q10A supports the new StreamBoost technology, introduced by Qualcomm, to redistributes traffic over the EMG2926-Q10A for the best possible performance in a home network. At the time of writing, the StreamBoost feature is disabled on the EMG2926-Q10A. Streamboost is smart Quality of Service (QoS). Streamboost detects traffic flows and applies traffic shaping polcies automatically. It gives each device and each application the priority and provides the exact amount of bandwidth they need at a given time. This helps free up bandwidth for other applications or connected deivces. If there is not enough bandwidth for optimal performance, Streamboost makes sure the application or device has the minimum acceptable bandwidth which is determined according to the StreamBoosts cloud-based database. Real-time application traffic (such as on-line games or communications) and video/audio streaming are given the highest priority. Downloads or torrent files are classified as best effort and placed lower than general network traffic (general browsing). In the figure below, the StreamBoost-enabled EMG2926-Q10A differentiates incoming traffic flows going from the LAN device (A) or wireless device (B) to the Internet. It shapes traffic and gives priority and allocate bandwidth according to traffic types.

Your EMG2926-Q10A supports SNMP agent functionality, which allows a manager station to manage and monitor the EMG2926-Q10A through the network. The EMG2926-

Q10A supports SNMP version one (SNMPv1) and version two (SNMPv2c). The next figure illustrates an SNMP management operation. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 156 Chapter 22 Remote Management Figure 107 SNMP Management Model An SNMP managed network consists of two main types of component: agents and a manager. An agent is a management software module that resides in a managed device (the EMG2926-

Q10A). An agent translates the local management information from the managed device into a form compatible with SNMP. The manager is the console through which network administrators perform network management functions. It executes applications that control and monitor managed devices. The managed devices contain object variables/managed objects that define each piece of information to be collected about a device. Examples of variables include such as number of packets received, node port status etc. A Management Information Base (MIB) is a collection of managed objects. SNMP allows a manager and agents to communicate for the purpose of accessing these objects. SNMP itself is a simple request/response protocol based on the manager/agent model. The manager issues a request and the agent returns responses using the following protocol operations:

Get - Allows the manager to retrieve an object variable from the agent. GetNext - Allows the manager to retrieve the next object variable from a table or list within an agent. In SNMPv1, when a manager wants to retrieve all elements of a table from an agent, it initiates a Get operation, followed by a series of GetNext operations. Set - Allows the manager to set values for object variables within an agent. Trap - Used by the agent to inform the manager of some events. To change your EMG2926-Q10As SNMP settings, click Management > Remote MGMT > SNMP.

EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 160 CHAPTER 23 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) 23.1 Overview This chapter introduces the UPnP feature in the web configurator. Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a distributed, open networking standard that uses TCP/IP for simple peer-to-peer network connectivity between devices. A UPnP device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities and learn about other devices on the network. In turn, a device can leave a network smoothly and automatically when it is no longer in use. 23.2 What You Need to Know UPnP hardware is identified as an icon in the Network Connections folder (Windows XP). Each UPnP compatible device installed on your network will appear as a separate icon. Selecting the icon of a UPnP device will allow you to access the information and properties of that device. 23.2.1 NAT Traversal UPnP NAT traversal automates the process of allowing an application to operate through NAT. UPnP network devices can automatically configure network addressing, announce their presence in the network to other UPnP devices and enable exchange of simple product and service descriptions. NAT traversal allows the following:

Dynamic port mapping Learning public IP addresses Assigning lease times to mappings Windows Messenger is an example of an application that supports NAT traversal and UPnP. See the NAT chapter for more information on NAT. 23.2.2 Cautions with UPnP The automated nature of NAT traversal applications in establishing their own services and opening firewall ports may present network security issues. Network information and configuration may also be obtained and modified by users in some network environments. When a UPnP device joins a network, it announces its presence with a multicast message. For security reasons, the EMG2926-Q10A allows multicast messages on the LAN only. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 161 Chapter 23 Universal Plug-and-Play (UPnP) All UPnP-enabled devices may communicate freely with each other without additional configuration. Disable UPnP if this is not your intention. 23.3 UPnP Screen Use this screen to enable UPnP on your EMG2926-Q10A. Click Management > UPnP to display the screen shown next.

DLNA clients play files stored on DLNA servers. The EMG2926-Q10A can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream files to DLNA-compliant media clients without any configuration. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 168 Chapter 24 USB Media Sharing Workgroup name This is the name given to a set of computers that are connected on a network and share resources such as a printer or files. Windows automatically assigns the workgroup name when you set up a network. File Systems A file system is a way of storing and organizing files on your hard drive and storage device. Often different operating systems such as Windows or Linux have different file systems. The file-sharing feature on your EMG2926-Q10A supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table

(FAT) and FAT32 file systems. Windows/CIFS Common Internet File System (CIFS) is a standard protocol supported by most operating systems in order to share files across the network. CIFS runs over TCP/IP but uses the SMB (Server Message Block) protocol found in Microsoft Windows for file and printer access; therefore, CIFS will allow all applications, not just Web browsers, to open and share files across the Internet. The EMG2926-Q10A uses Common Internet File System (CIFS) protocol for its file sharing functions. CIFS compatible computers can access the USB file storage devices connected to the EMG2926-Q10A. CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility). Samba SMB is a client-server protocol used by Microsoft Windows systems for sharing files, printers, and so on. Samba is a free SMB server that runs on most Unix and Unix-like systems. It provides an implementation of an SMB client and server for use with non-Microsoft operating systems. File Transfer Protocol This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the Internet. 24.4 Before You Begin 1 2 Make sure the EMG2926-Q10A is connected to your network and turned on.

Refer to Appendix B on page 193 for instructions on how to change your computers IP address. What factors may cause intermittent or unstabled wireless connection? How can I solve this problem?

The following factors may cause interference:

Obstacles: walls, ceilings, furniture, and so on. Building Materials: metal doors, aluminum studs. Electrical devices: microwaves, monitors, electric motors, cordless phones, and other wireless devices. To optimize the speed and quality of your wireless connection, you can:

Move your wireless device closer to the AP if the signal strength is low. Reduce wireless interference that may be caused by other wireless networks or surrounding wireless electronics such as cordless phones. Place the AP where there are minimum obstacles (such as walls and ceilings) between the AP and the wireless client. Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add additional APs if necessary. EMG2926-Q10A Users Guide 195 Chapter 27 Troubleshooting Try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. If the wireless client is sending or receiving a lot of information, it may have too many programs open that use the Internet. Position the antennas for best reception. If the AP is placed on a table or floor, point the antennas upwards. If the AP is placed at a high position, point the antennas downwards. Try pointing the antennas in different directions and check which provides the strongest signal to the wireless clients. 27.7 USB Device Problems I cannot access or see a USB device that is connected to the EMG2926-Q10A. 1 Disconnect the problematic USB device, then reconnect it to the EMG2926-Q10A. 2 3 4 5 6 Ensure that the USB device has power.
