T E R 1 Introduction 1.1 Overview This chapter introduces the main features and applications of the NBG6818. The NBG6818 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/b/g/n/ac compatible devices. The NBG6818 is able to function both 2.4GHz and 5GHz networks at the same time. A range of services such as a firewall and content filtering are also available for secure Internet computing. There are two USB ports on the side panel of your NBG6818. One is USB 2.0, and the other is USB 3.0. You can connect USB memory sticks, USB hard drives, or USB devices for file sharing. The NBG6818 automatically detects the USB devices. 1.2 Applications Your can have the following networks with the NBG6818:
Wired. You can connect network devices via the Ethernet ports of the NBG6818 so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet. Wireless. Wireless clients can connect to the NBG6818 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 NBG6818 Use any of the following methods to manage the NBG6818. 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 NBG6818. Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the NBG6818 using a
(supported) web browser. NBG6818 Users Guide 10 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.4 Good Habits for Managing the NBG6818 Do the following things regularly to make the NBG6818 more secure and to manage the NBG6818 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 NBG6818 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the NBG6818. You could simply restore your last configuration. 1.5 Resetting the NBG6818 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 NBG6818 to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously saved, the password will be reset to 1234 and the IP address will be reset to 192.168.1.1. 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 NBG6818. Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the NBG6818 back to its factory-default configurations. 1.6 The WPS Button Your NBG6818 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 on the rear panel of the NBG6818 to activate WPS in order to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security. NBG6818 Users Guide 11 Chapter 1 Introduction 1 Make sure the power LED is on (not blinking). 2 Press the WPS button for more than three seconds and release it. Press the WPS button on another WPS-
enabled device within range of the NBG6818. Note: You must activate WPS in the NBG6818 and in another wireless device within two minutes of each other. For more information on using WPS, see Section 7.2 on page 47. 1.7 LEDs Figure 1 Front Panel Internet 2.4G WLAN/WPS Power 5G WLAN/WPS The following table describes the front panel LEDs.

NBG6818 Users Guide 17 Chapter 2 eaZy 123 Wizard Figure 8 Detecting your Internet Connection Type Figure 9 eaZy 123 Setup 2.3 Internet Type The NBG6818 offers three WAN selection types. They are Automatic - DHCP, PPPoE or Static. Configure the Internet type settings on your NBG6818 in the first part. The following screen depends on your Internet connection type. Enter the details provided by your Internet Service Provider (ISP) in the fields (if any). Check with your ISP to make sure you use the correct type. This wizard screen varies according to the connection type that you select. NBG6818 Users Guide 18 Chapter 2 eaZy 123 Wizard 2.3.1 WAN Selection Type: Automatic - DHCP Select the Automatic - DHCP option if your ISP did not assign you a fixed IP address. Figure 10 WAN Selection Type: Automatic - DHCP 2.3.2 WAN Selection 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 NBG6818 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6818 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LAN's computers will have Internet access.

The Digital Living Network Alliance (DLNA) is a group of personal computer and electronics companies that works to make products compatible in a home network. DLNA clients play files stored on DLNA servers. The NBG6818 can function as a DLNA-compliant media server and stream files to DLNA-
compliant media clients without any configuration. 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. DLNA Workgroup name 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 NBG6818 supports New Technology File System (NTFS), File Allocation Table (FAT) and FAT32 file systems. The NBG6818 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 NBG6818. CIFS protocol is supported on Microsoft Windows, Linux Samba and other operating systems (refer to your systems specifications for CIFS compatibility). NBG6818 Users Guide 57 Chapter 9 Applications 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 9.1.3 Before You Begin This is a method of transferring data from one computer to another over a network such as the Internet. Make sure the NBG6818 is connected to your network and turned on. 1 Connect the USB device to one of the NBG6818s USB ports. 2 The NBG6818 detects the USB device and makes its contents available for browsing. If you are connecting a USB hard drive that comes with an external power supply, make sure it is connected to an appropriate power source that is on. Note: If your USB device cannot be detected by the NBG6818, see the troubleshooting for suggestions. 9.2 Parental Control Screen Parental Control allows you to block specific URLs.

NBG6818 Users Guide 70 C H A P T E R 10 WAN 10.1 Overview This chapter discusses the NBG6818s WAN screens. Use these screens to configure your NBG6818 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 46 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 73). Use the NAT & Port Forwarding screen to enable NAT, set a default server and change your NBG6818s port forwarding settings (Section 10.5 on page 81). Use the Passthrough screen to configure your NBG6818s ALGs and VPN pass-through settings (Section 10.6 on page 83) Use the Port Trigger screen to configure your NBG6818s trigger port settings (Section 10.7 on page 85). Use the Dynamic DNS screen to change your NBG6818s DDNS settings (Section 10.8 on page 87). Use the UPnP screen to enable UPnP on your NBG6818 (Section 10.9 on page 88). NBG6818 Users Guide 71 Chapter 10 WAN 10.3 What You Need To Know 10.3.1 Configuring Your Internet Connection Encapsulation Method 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 NBG6818. 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 NBG6818, which makes it accessible from an outside network. It is used by the NBG6818 to communicate with other devices in other networks. It can be static
(fixed) or dynamically assigned by the ISP each time the NBG6818 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 NBG6818 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 NBG6818s WAN IP address), set the DNS server fields to get the DNS server address from the ISP. WAN MAC Address The MAC address screen allows users to configure the WAN port's MAC address by either using the factory default or cloning the MAC address from a computer on your LAN. 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. NBG6818 Users Guide 72 Chapter 10 WAN Auto-IP Change When the NBG6818 gets a WAN IP address or a DNS server IP address which is in the same subnet as the LAN IP address 192.168.1.1, Auto-IP-Change allows the NBG6818 to change its LAN IP address to 10.0.0.1 automatically. If the NBG6818s original LAN IP address is 10.0.0.1 and the WAN IP address is in the same subnet, such as 10.0.0.3, the NBG6818 switches to use 192.168.1.1 as its LAN IP address. Figure 47 Auto-IP-Change Example Auto-IP-Change only works under the following conditions:
The NBG6818 must be in Router Mode (see Section 14.7 on page 125 for more information) for Auto-IP-
Change to become active. The NBG6818 is set to receive a dynamic WAN IP address. 10.4 Internet Connection Screen Use this screen to change your NBG6818s Internet access settings.

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. 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 NBG6818 (rather than individual computers), the computers on the LAN do not need PPPoE software installed, since the NBG6818 does that part of the task. Furthermore, with NAT, all of the LANs computers will have access. NBG6818 Users Guide 76 Chapter 10 WAN This screen displays when you select PPPoE encapsulation.

The NBG6818 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 Settings > WiFi to configure wireless LAN 2.4G or wireless LAN 5G. See the appendices for more detailed information about wireless networks. The following figure provides an example of a wireless network. Figure 58 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 NBG6818 is the AP. 11.1.1 What You Can Do Use the Main WiFi screen to enable or disable the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless LAN, set up wireless security between the NBG6818 and the wireless clients, and make other basic configuration changes (Section 11.2 on page 98). Use the Guest WiFi screen to set up multiple wireless networks on your NBG6818 (Section 11.3 on page 99). Use the MAC Filter screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the NBG6818 (Section 11.4 on page 100). NBG6818 Users Guide 94 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Use the WPS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually (Section 11.5 on page 102). Use the Scheduling screen to set the times your wireless LAN is turned on and off (Section 11.6 on page 104). 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. 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. 1. 2. 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. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. NBG6818 Users Guide 95 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN 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. The types of encryption you can choose depend on the type of user authentication. (See page 96 for information about this.) Table 37 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication NO AUTHENTICATION RADIUS SERVER Weakest No Security WPA 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, 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 WPA, and device B supports WPA and WPA2. Therefore, you should set up WPA or WPA-PSK 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. NBG6818 Users Guide 96 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN When you select WPA2 or WPA2-PSK in your NBG6818, 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 NBG6818. 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 NBG6818
(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. Figure 59 Guest Wireless LAN Network 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.) NBG6818 Users Guide 97 Chapter 11 Wireless LAN Figure 60 Example: Bandwidth for Different Networks 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 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 7.2 on page 47. 11.2 Main WiFi Screen Use this screen to configure the SSID and wireless security of the NBG6818s default wireless LAN. Note: If you are configuring the NBG6818 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the NBG6818s 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 NBG6818s new settings. Click Settings > WiFi > Main WiFi to show the following screen.

NBG6818 Users Guide 111 C H A P T E R 13 Security 13.1 Overview Use these screens to enable and configure the firewall that protects your NBG6818 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 73 Default Firewall Action 13.1.1 What You Can Do Use the IPv4 Firewall screen to enable or disable the NBG6818s IPv4 firewall (Section 13.2 on page Use the IPv6 Firewall screen to enable or disable the NBG6818s IPv6 firewall (Section 13.3 on page 113). 116). 13.1.2 What You Need To Know The following terms and concepts may help as you read through this chapter. NBG6818 Users Guide 112 Chapter 13 Security About the NBG6818 Firewall The NBG6818s 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 IPv4 Firewall or IPv6 Firewall tab under Security and then click the Enable Firewall check box). The NBG6818's purpose is to allow a private Local Area Network (LAN) to be securely connected to the Internet. The NBG6818 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 NBG6818 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 NBG6818 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 1 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. 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. 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. 2 3 5 6 7 13.2 IPv4 Firewall Screen Use this screen to enable or disable the NBG6818s IPv4 firewall.

NBG6818 Users Guide 130 Chapter 15 Troubleshooting 2 Go to Expert > Maintenance > Operation Mode. Check your System Operation Mode setting. If the NBG6818 is in Router Mode, make sure the WAN port is connected to a broadband modem or router with Internet access. Your computer and the NBG6818 should be in the same subnet. If the NBG6818 is in Access Point Mode, make sure the WAN port is connected to a broadband modem or router with Internet access and your computer is set to obtain an dynamic IP address. If the NBG6818 is in Router Mode, make sure you entered your ISP account information correctly in the wizard or the WAN screen. These fields are case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on. If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the AP. 5 Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again. 6 If the problem continues, contact your ISP. I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the NBG6818), but my Internet connection is not available anymore. 1 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.7 on page 12. Reboot the NBG6818. If the problem continues, contact your ISP. The Internet connection is slow or intermittent. There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Look at the LEDs, and check Section 1.7 on page 12. If the NBG6818 is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. 2 Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the NBG6818 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on). Reboot the NBG6818. Advanced Suggestion If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions. Check the settings for QoS. If it is disabled, you might consider activating it. 3 4 2 3 1 3 4 NBG6818 Users Guide 131 Chapter 15 Troubleshooting 15.5 Resetting the NBG6818 to Its Factory Defaults If you reset the NBG6818, you lose all of the changes you have made. The NBG6818 re-loads its default settings, and the password resets to 1234. You have to make all of your changes again. You will lose all of your changes when you push the RESET button. To reset the NBG6818:
1 Make sure the power LED is on. 2 3 Press the RESET button for one to four seconds to restart/reboot the NBG6818. Press the RESET button for longer than five seconds to set the NBG6818 back to its factory-default configurations.

If the NBG6818 does not restart automatically, disconnect and reconnect the NBG6818s power. Then, follow the directions above again. 15.6 Wireless Connections I cannot access the NBG6818 or ping any computer from the WLAN. 1 Make sure the wireless LAN is enabled on the NBG6818. 2 Make sure the wireless adapter on your computer is working properly. 3 Make sure the wireless adapter installed on your computer is IEEE 802.11 compatible and supports the same wireless standard as the NBG6818. 4 Make sure your computer (with a wireless adapter installed) is within the transmission range of the NBG6818. and wireless security settings. 5 Check that both the NBG6818 and the wireless adapter on your computer are using the same wireless 6 Make sure traffic between the WLAN and the LAN is not blocked by the firewall on the NBG6818. 7 Make sure you allow the NBG6818 to be remotely accessed through the WLAN interface. Check your remote management settings. See the chapter on Wireless LAN in the Users Guide for more information. NBG6818 Users Guide 132 Chapter 15 Troubleshooting I set up URL keyword blocking, but I can still access a website that should be blocked. Make sure that you enable parental control in the Parental Control screen, set up rules and turn on the rules. Make sure that the keywords that you type are listed in the rules Keyword List. If a keyword that is listed in the Keyword List is not blocked when it is found in a URL, customize the keyword blocking using commands. See the Keyword Blocking URL Checking section in the Applications chapter. I cannot access the Web Configurator after I switched to AP mode. When you change from router mode to AP mode, your computer must have an IP address in the range between 192.168.1.3 and 192.168.1.254. Refer to Appendix B on page 141 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. APs if necessary. Reduce the number of wireless clients connecting to the same AP simultaneously, or add additional 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.
