LAN

LAN Setup

This page enables you to set the LAN and DHCP properties, such as the host name, IP address, subnet mask, and domain name. LAN and DHCP profiles are listed in the DHCP table at the bottom of the screen.

IP Address
This is the IP address of the router. The default IP address is 192.168.10.1.

Subnet Mask
Type the subnet mask for the router in the text box. The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.

Host Name
Type the host name in the text box. The host name is required by some ISPs. The default host name is "tew-752dru".

Local Domain Name (optional)
Type the local domain name of the network in the text box. This item is optional.

DNS Relay
When DNS Relay is enabled, DHCP clients of the router will be assigned the router's LAN IP address as their DNS server. All DNS requests that the router receives will be forwarded to your ISPs DNS servers. When DNS relay is disabled, all DHCP clients of the router will be assigned the ISP's DNS server addresses.

DHCP Server

Enables the DHCP server to allow the router to automatically assign IP addresses to devices connecting to the LAN port or connected wirelessly to the router. DHCP is enabled by default. All DHCP client computers are listed in the table at the bottom of the screen. The table displays the host name, IP address, and MAC address of the client.

DHCP Reservation

Enter the Computer Name, IP Address, and MAC Address manually for the PC that you want the router to statically assign the same IP address to or choose the PC from the drop-down menu, which shows current DHCP clients.

Starting IP address

Type an IP address to serve as the start of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all wired and wireless devices connected to the router.

Ending IP Address

Type an IP address to serve as the end of the IP range that DHCP will use to assign IP addresses to all wired and wireless devices connected to the router.

Lease Time

The lease time specifies the amount of connection time a network user is allowed to have with their current dynamic IP address.

Always Broadcast

If all the computers on the LAN successfully obtained their IP addresses from the router's DHCP server as expected, this option can remain disabled. However, if one of the computers on the LAN fails to obtain an IP address from the router's DHCP server, it may have an old DHCP client that incorrectly turns off the broadcast flag of DHCP packets. Enabling this option will cause the router to always broadcast its responses to all DHCP clients, thereby working around the problem, at the cost of increased broadcast traffic on the LAN.

Dynamic DHCP client computers, connected to the unit, will have their information displayed in the Dynamic DHCP Client Table. The table will show the Host Name, IP Address, MAC Address, and Expired Time of the DHCP lease for each client computer.

Add/Edit DHCP Reservation

This option lets you reserve IP addresses and assign the same IP address to the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must still request an IP address from the router. The router will provide the device with the same IP address every time. DHCP Reservations are helpful for server computers on the local network that are hosting applications such as Web and FTP. Servers on your network should either use a static IP address or use this option.

Computer Name

You can assign a name for each computer that is given a reserved IP address. This may help you keep track of which computers are assigned this way. Example: GameServer.

IP Address

The LAN address that you want to reserve.

MAC Address

To use the MAC address of your system, enter it in manually. Alternatively, connect to the router's Web management interface, from the system, and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button.

The MAC address is usually located on the sticker on the bottom of a network device. The MAC address is comprised of twelve digits. Each pair of hexadecimal digits are separated by colons such as 00:0D:88:11:22:33. If your network device is a computer and the network card is already located inside the computer, you can connect to the TRENDNET router from the computer and click the Copy Your PC's MAC Address button to enter the MAC address.

DHCP Reservations List

This shows clients that you have specified to have reserved DHCP addresses. An entry can be changed by clicking the Edit icon, or deleted by clicking the Delete icon. When you click the Edit icon, the item is highlighted, and the 'Edit DHCP Reservation' section is activated for editing.

Number of Dynamic DHCP Clients

In this section you can see what LAN devices are currently leasing IP addresses.

WAN

Access Point Mode

Enabling the Access Point Mode feature will make the device function like a wireless AP. All the NAT functions will be disabled except settings related to the wireless connection.

Internet Connection Type

Select the connection type, either DHCP Client/Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, or DS-Lite from the drop-down list. When using DHCP Client/Static IP, enter the following information in the fields (some information is provided by your ISP).

Static IP Address

Select this option if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) has provided you with an IP address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and a DNS server address. Enter this information in the appropriate fields. If you are unsure of what to enter in these fields, please contact your ISP.

Dynamic IP Address

Select this option if your ISP (Internet Service Provider) provides you with an IP address automatically. Cable modem providers typically use dynamic assignment of IP Addresses.

Host Name (optional)
The Host Name field is optional but may be required by some Internet Service Providers. The default host name is trendrouter.

Use Unicasting (optional)
This option is normally turned off and should remain off as long as the WAN-side DHCP server correctly provides an IP address to the router. However, if the router cannot obtain an IP address from the DHCP server, the DHCP server may be one that works better with unicast responses. In this case, turn the unicasting option on, and observe whether the router can obtain an IP address. In this mode, the router accepts unicast responses from the DHCP server instead of broadcast responses.

MAC Address (optional)
If required by your ISP, type the MAC address of the router's WAN interface in this field.

You can use the Clone MAC Address button to automatically use the MAC address of the Ethernet Card installed in the computer that is being used to configure the device. It is only necessary to fill in this field if required by your ISP.

Primary DNS Address
The primary DNS (Domain Name System) server IP address, which may be provided by your ISP. You should only need to enter this information if you selected Static PPPoE. If Dynamic PPPoE is chosen, leave this field at its default value as your ISP will provide you this information automatically.

Secondary DNS Address (optional)
If you were given a secondary DNS server IP address, from your ISP, enter it in this field.

Maximum Idle time
The amount of inactivity time (in minutes) before the device will disconnect your PPPoE session. Enter a Maximum Idle Time (in minutes) to define a maximum period of time for which the Internet connection is maintained during inactivity. If the connection is inactive for longer than the defined Maximum Idle Time, then the connection will be dropped. This option only applies to the Connect-on-demand Connection mode.

MTU
MTU (Maximum Transmission/Transfer Unit) is the largest packet size that can be sent over a network. Messages larger than the MTU are divided into smaller packets. 1492 is the default value for this option. Changing this number may adversely affect the performance of your router. Only change this number if instructed to by one of our Technical Support Representatives or by your ISP.

Reconnect Mode
Select Always On if you would like the router to never disconnect the PPPoE session or you can use the drop-down menu to select a previously defined schedule or click the New Schedule button to add a new schedule. Select Manual if you would like to control when the router is connected and disconnected from the Internet. The Connect-on-demand option allows the router to establish a connection to the Internet only when a device on your network tries to access a resource on the Internet.

PPTP

The Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol uses TCP to deal data for tunnel maintenance and uses PPP to sum up the information carried within the tunnel. The data carried within the tunnel can be compressed or encrypted. The encryption method used is RSA RC4. PPTP can operate when the protocol is supported only on the client and the server located on the other end that the client corresponds with. No support is essential from any of the routers or servers within the network that the two PCs are connecting across.

IPv6

IPv6

The IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) section is where you configure your IPv6 Connection type.

IPv6 Connection Type

There are several connection types to choose from: Link-local, Static IPv6, DHCPv6, Stateless Auto-configuration, PPPoE, IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel, and 6to4. If you are unsure of your connection method, please contact your IPv6 Internet Service Provider. Note: If using the PPPoE option, you will need to ensure that any PPPoE client software on your computers has been removed or disabled.

Link-local Only

The Link-local address is used by nodes and routers when communicating with neighboring nodes on the same link. This mode enables IPv6-capable devices to communicate with each other on the LAN side.

Static IPv6 Mode

This mode is used when your ISP provides you with a set of IPv6 addresses that does not change. The IPv6 information is manually entered in your IPv6 configuration settings. You must enter the IPv6 address, Subnet Prefix Length, Default Gateway, Primary DNS Server, and Secondary DNS Server. Your ISP provides you with all this information.

DHCPv6 Mode

This is a method of connection where the ISP assigns your IPv6 address when your router requests one from the ISP's server. Some ISP's require you to make some settings on your side before your router can connect to the IPv6 Internet.

PPPoE

Select this option if your ISP requires you to use a Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) connection to IPv6 Internet. DSL providers typically use this option.This method of connection requires you to enter a Username and Password (provided by your ISP) to gain access to the IPv6 Internet. The supported authentication protocols are PAP and CHAP.

Dynamic IP:

Select this option if the ISP's servers assign the router's WAN IPv6 address upon establishing a connection.

Static IP Address:

If your ISP has assigned a fixed IPv6 address, select this option. The ISP provides the value for the IPv6 Address.

Service Name:

Some ISP's may require that you enter a Service Name. Only enter a Service Name if your ISP requires one.

IPv6 over IPv4 Tunnel Mode

IPv6 over IPv4 tunneling encapsulates IPv6 packets in IPv4 packets so that IPv6 packets can be sent over an IPv4 infrastructure.

6to4 Mode

6to4 is an IPv6 address assignment and automatic tunneling technology that used to provide unicast IPv6 connectivity between IPv6 sites and hosts across the IPv4 Internet.

The following options apply to all WAN modes.

Primary DNS Server, Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IPv6 addresses of the DNS Servers. Leave the field for the secondary server empty if not used.

LAN IPv6 ADDRESS SETTINGS

These are the settings of the LAN (Local Area Network) IPv6 interface for the router. The router's LAN IPv6 Address configuration is based on the IPv6 Address and Subnet assigned by your ISP. (A subnet with prefix /64 is supported in LAN.)

LAN ADDRESS AUTO-CONFIGURATION SETTINGS

Use this section to set up IPv6 Auto-configuration to assign an IPv6 address to the computers on your local network. A Stateless and a Stateful Auto-configuration methods are provided.

Enable Auto-configuration

These two values (from and to) define a range of IPv6 addresses that the DHCPv6 Server uses when assigning addresses to computers and devices on your Local Area Network. Any addresses that are outside this range are not managed by the DHCPv6 Server. However, these could be used to manually configuring devices or devices that cannot use DHCPv6 to automatically obtain network address details.

When you select Stateful (DHCPv6), the following options are displayed.

The computers (and other devices) connected to your LAN also need to have their TCP/IP configuration set to DHCPv6 or Obtain an IPv6 address automatically.

IPv6 Address Range (DHCPv6)

Once your TRENDNET router is properly configured and this option is enabled, the router will manage the IPv6 addresses and other network configuration information for computers and other devices connected to your Local Area Network. There is no need for you to do this yourself.

It is possible for a computer or device that is manually configured to have an IPv6 address that does reside within this range.

IPv6 Address Lifetime

The amount of time that a computer may have an IPv6 address before it is required to renew the lease.
