SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
2.5 Setting Up an Internet Connection (WAN Setup)
The Internet connection setup can be done by using the Quick Setup menu
described in section 2-3. However, you can set the WAN connections up by using
the WAN configuration menu. You can also program advanced functions like DDNS
(Dynamic DNS) here.
Click the “WAN” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then select
an Internet connection method based on the type of connection you’re using. You
can either click the connection method in the left-side menu or select it from the
main panel in the center (which requires that you then click “More Configuration”
to continue).
NOTE: To manage this router from another computer on the Internet, you need to
input the IP address and port number of this router. If your Internet service provider
assigns you a static IP address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your
service provider assigns will vary every time you establish an Internet connection,
this will be a problem. Either ask your ISP to give you a static IP address, or use
a dynamic DNS service like DDNS. (See section 2.5.8 DDNS Client below for
details.)
NOTE: The default port number the Web browser will use is 80. If the “Port” setting
on this page is not 80, you need to assign the port number in the address bar of
the Web browser manually. For example, if the IP address of this router is 1.2.3.4,
and the port number you set is 8888, you need to enter http://1.2.3.4:8888 in the
address bar of the Web browser.
