- IP Address – Enter the IP address of your router (factory default: 192.168.0.1).
- Subnet Mask – An address code that determines the size of the network. Normally use 255.255.255.0 as the subnet mask.
- DHCP – Enable or Disable the DHCP server. If you disable the Server, you must have another DHCP server within your network or else you must configure the address of your PC manually.
- Start IP Address – Specify an IP address for the DHCP server to start with when assigning IP address. The default start address is 192.168.0.2.
- End IP Address – Specify an IP address for the DHCP Server to end with when assigning IP address. The default end address is 192.168.0.254.
- Lease Time – The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the router with their current dynamic IP address. Enter the amount of time in minutes and the user will be “leased” this dynamic IP address. After the time is up, the user will be assigned a new dynamic IP address automatically.
- Static IP – IP/MAC binding function, the system will assign a fixed IP address to the MAC according to the rules.
Note:
- If you change the IP Address of LAN, you must use the new IP address to login to the CPE router.

3.4.3 VPN
A virtual private network (VPN) is a point-to-point connection across a
private or public network (Internet).
VPN Passthrough allows the VPN traffic to pass through the router. Thereby we
can establish VPN connections to remote network. For example, VPNs allow you
to securely access your company’s intranet at home. There are three main kinds
of the VPN tunneling protocol, PPTP, IPSec,L2TP and GRE.
Note: VPN Passthrough does not mean the router can create a VPN endpoint. VPN Passthrough is a feature that allows VPN traffic created by other endpoints to “pass through” the router.
3.4.4 Security
3.4.4.1 MAC Filtering
This function is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which wireless client users are not allowed to surf the Internet.
The default MAC filtering setting is disabled, so you should enable it before
you begin to configure the filter. Then click the “Add New” button, you can
configure the rules you like.
Default Policy: The packets that don’t match with any rules would be
“Allow/Deny”. If you choose the “Allow” button here, the MAC address that you
add would be dropped. Otherwise, only the MAC addresses on the rule table can
be accepted.
The new rules will be shown on the rule table, here you can delete the rules
that you have selected and add new rules sequentially. The maximum rule count
is 10.
3.4.4.2 IP/Port Filtering

Default Policy: The packets that don’t match with any rules would be
“Dropped/Accepted”. If you choose “Dropped” here, the action of the new rule
would be “Accept”. Otherwise, the action turns to be “Drop” and the packet
that don’t match with any rules would be accepted.
- Dest IP Address – The IP address of a website that you want to filter (Such as google 74.125.128.106).
- Source IP Address – The IP address of PC. (Such as 192.168.0.2).
