Chapter 3: General Settings
The General Setup section contains advanced features that allow you to configure your
router to meet your network’s needs. From here you can: assign passwords, set up
remote management access, configure your LAN, WAN, and wireless settings, or set up a
firewall, DMZ, plus many other functions.
Remember, if you have already used the Quick Setup Wizard, you do not need to alter
any of the General Settings in order to share the Internet.
From the router homepage, click on General Setup.
You are given six options:
• System: Allows you to set the router’s time zone, password, and remote management
settings.
• WAN: Allows you to change your Internet connection type.
• LAN: Allows you to specify the LAN’s IP address and subnet mask, enable or disable
DHCP, and select an IP range for your LAN.
• Wireless: Allows you to configure and enable your wireless settings, including setting
up your ESSID, channel, and security settings.
• NAT: Allows you to configure the Port Forwarding, Virtual Server, and Special
Application settings to specify the users/packets that can pass through your router’s
NAT.
• Firewall: Allows you to configure access control, hacker prevention, and DMZ
settings.
