Configuring WPA-802.1x This version of WPA requires the use of a RADIUS server for authentication. Each user (wireless client) must have a user login on the RADIUS server, and the modem router must have a client login on the RADIUS server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a key that is automatically generated. 1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. 2. Select Wireless Settings in the main menu.
2-16 Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings v1.0, July 2008
3. In the Security Options section of the screen, select WPA-802.1x. 4. In the Radius Server Name/IP Address field, enter the name or IP address of the RADIUS server on your LAN. This is a required field. 5. In the Radius Port field, enter the port number used for connections to the RADIUS server. The default port is 1812. 6. In the Shared Key field, enter the value that you want to use for the RADIUS shared key. This key enables the modem router to log in to the RADIUS server and must match the client login value used on the RADIUS server.
Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network and Security
If your wireless clients support Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), you can use this feature to configure the modem routers SSID and security settings and, at the same time, connect the wireless client securely and easily to the modem router. Look for the symbol on your client device1 (computers that will connect wirelessly to the modem router are clients). WPS automatically configures the SSID and wireless security settings for the modem router (if the modem router is in its default state) and broadcasts these settings to the wireless client. Some considerations regarding WPS are: WPS supports only WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK wireless security. WEP security is not supported by WPS. NETGEARs Push 'N' Connect feature is based on the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) standard. All other Wi-Fi-certified and WPS-capable products should be compatible with NETGEAR products that implement Push 'N' Connect. If your wireless network will include a combination of WPS capable devices and non-WPS capable devices, NETGEAR suggests that you set up your wireless network and security settings manually first, and use WPS only for adding additional WPS capable devices. See Connecting Additional Wireless Client Devices After WPS Setup on page 2-20. If the modem router has already been configured manually, and either WPS-PSK or WPA2PSK security has been enabled, a wireless client can be connected quickly and simply by using the WPS method of connecting to the wireless network. In this case, the existing wireless settings are broadcast to the WPS-capable client.

1. For a list of other Wi-Fi-certified products available from NETGEAR, go to http://www.wi-fi.org.
These instructions assume that you are configuring WPS on the modem router for the first time and connecting a WPS-capable device. To set up basic wireless connectivity: 1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever LAN address and password you have set up. You can also enter either of these addresses to connect to the modem router: http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com. 2. Select Add WPS Client (computers that will connect wirelessly to the router are clients) in the main menu. The Add WPS Client wizard screen displays.

Figure 2-5

3. Click Next. The screen changes to allow you to select the method for adding the WPS client. 4. Select the method for adding the WPS client. A WPS client can be added using the Push Button method or the PIN method. Using the Push Button. This is the preferred method. (See Figure 2-6 on page 2-19.) Select the Push Button radio box and either press the WPS Push Button on the side of the modem router or click the soft WPS Push Button on the screen (as shown below). The modem router will attempt to communicate with the client; you have 2 minutes to enable WPS from the client device using the clients WPS networking utility.

Figure 2-6

Entering a PIN. If you want to use the PIN method, select the PIN radio box. A screen similar to the one shown below displays. Go to your wireless client and, from the clients WPS utility, obtain the wireless clients security PIN, or follow the clients WPS utility instructions to generate a security PIN. Then, enter this PIN in the Enter Clients PIN field provided on the modem router and click Apply. You have 4 minutes to enable WPS on the router using this method.

Figure 2-7

Using either method, the client wireless device will attempt to detect the WPS signal from the modem router and establish a wireless connection in the time allotted. While the modem router attempts to connect to a WPS-capable device, the Push 'N' Connect LED on the front of the modem router blinks green. When the modem router has established a WPS connection, the LED is solid green.

2-20 Configuring Your Wireless Network and Security Settings v1.0, July 2008
To connect a combination of non-WPS enabled and WPS-Enabled clients to the modem router: 1. Restore the modem router to its factory default settings (press both the Wireless and WPS buttons on the side of the modem router for 5 seconds). When the factory settings are restored, all existing wireless clients are disassociated and disconnected from the modem router. 2. Configure the network names (SSIDs), select the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK radio button on the Wireless Settings screen (see Manually Configuring Your Wireless Security on page 2-10) and click Apply. On the WPA/PSK + WPA2/PSK screen, select a passphrase and click Apply. Record this information to add additional clients. 3. For the non-WPS devices that you want to connect, open the networking utility and follow the utilitys instructions to enter the security settings that you selected in step 2 (the SSID, WPA/ PSK + WPA2/PSK security method, and passphrase). 4. For the WPS devices that you want to connect, follow the procedures in Using Push 'N' Connect (WPS) to Configure Your Wireless Network and Security on page 2-17. The settings that you configured in Step 2 are broadcast to the WPS devices so that they can connect to the modem router. Note: To make sure that your new wireless settings remain in effect, verify that the Keep Existing Wireless Settings checkbox is selected in the Advanced WPS Settings screen. To view a list of all devices connected to your modem router (including wireless- and Ethernetconnected), see Viewing Attached Devices in Chapter 4.

Protecting Access to Your Wireless Modem Router
For security reasons, the modem router has its own user name and password. Also, after a period of inactivity for a set length of time, the administrator login automatically disconnects. When prompted, enter admin for the modem router user name and password for the modem router password. You can use the following procedures to change the modem routers password and the period for the administrators login time-out. Note: The user name and password are not the same as any other user name or password your might use to log in to your Internet connection. NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language, and should be a mixture of both upper case and lower case letters, numbers, and symbols. Your password can be up to 30 characters.

The Firewall Rules screen also lets you easily open or close AOL or MSN Instant Messenger ports: 1. Under Instant Messaging (IM) Ports, select a radio button: Close IM Ports. Specifies to disable instant messaging traffic. Open IM Ports. Specifies to enable instant messaging traffic. IM ports are open by default. 2. Click Apply to save your changes.

Services

Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For example, Web servers serve Web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and game hosts serve data about other players moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP packets. For example, a packet that is sent with destination port number 80 is an HTTP (Web server) request. The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) and published in RFC1700, Assigned Numbers. Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by the authors of the application. Although the modem router already holds a list of many service port numbers, you are not limited to these choices. Use the following procedure to create your own service definitions.

How to Define Services

1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin, and default password of password, or using whatever password and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router.

Upgrading the Wireless Modem Routers Firmware
The software of the modem router is stored in flash memory, and can be upgraded as NETGEAR releases new software. Upgrade files can be downloaded from NETGEARs website. If the upgrade file is compressed (.zip file), you must first extract the binary (.bin or.img) file before uploading it to the modem router.
How to Upgrade the Wireless Modem Router Firmware
Note: NETGEAR recommends that you back up your configuration before doing a firmware upgrade. After the upgrade is complete, you might need to restore your configuration settings. To upgrade the firmware: 1. Download and unzip the new software file from NETGEAR. The Web browser used to upload new firmware into the modem router must support HTTP uploads. NETGEAR recommends using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later. 2. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever user name, password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router. 3. In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Router Upgrade to display the Firmware Upgrade screen.

Figure 4-2

4. In the Firmware Upgrade screen, click Browse to locate the binary (.bin or.img) upgrade file. 5. Click Upload. Note: When uploading software to the modem router, it is important not to interrupt the Web browser by closing the window, clicking a link, or loading a new page. If the browser is interrupted, it might corrupt the software. When the upload is complete, your modem router automatically restarts. The upgrade process typically takes about one minute. In some cases, you might need to clear the configuration and reconfigure the modem router after upgrading.
Network Management Information
The modem router provides a variety of status and usage information, which is discussed in the following sections.
Viewing the Wireless Modem Router Status and Usage Statistics
In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Router Status to display the Router Status screen. Figure 4-3 displays the upper part of the Router Status screen; Figure 4-4 displays the lower part of the Router Status screen.

Outgoing Mail Server. Enter the name or IP address of your ISPs outgoing (SMTP) mail server (such as mail.myISP.com). You might be able to find this information in the configuration settings of your e-mail program. Enter the e-mail address to which logs and alerts are sent. This e-mail address is also used as the From address. If you leave this field blank, log and alert messages are not sent by e-mail. My Mail Server requires authentication.If you use an outgoing mail server provided by your current ISP, you do not need to select this field. If you use an e-mail account that is not provided by your ISP, select this field, and enter the required user name and password information. Send E-Mail alerts immediately. Select the corresponding check box if you would like immediate notification of a significant security event, such as a known attack, port scan, or attempted access to a blocked site. Send Logs According to this Schedule. Specifies how often to send the logs: Hourly, Daily, Weekly, or When Full. Day for sending log Specifies which day of the week to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent weekly. Time for sending log Specifies the time of day to send the log. Relevant when the log is sent daily or weekly.
If the Weekly, Daily or Hourly option is selected and the log fills up before the specified period, the log is automatically e-mailed to the specified e-mail address. After the log is sent, it is cleared from the modem routers memory. If the modem router cannot e-mail the log file, the log buffer might fill up. In this case, the modem router overwrites the log and discards its contents.
Running Diagnostic Utilities and Rebooting the Wireless Modem Router
The modem router has a diagnostics feature. You can use the Diagnostics screen to perform the following functions from the modem router: Ping an IP address to test connectivity to see if you can reach a remote host. Perform a DNS lookup to test if an Internet name resolves to an IP address to verify that the DNS server configuration is working. Display the Routing table to identify what other modem routers the modem router is communicating with.

4-15 v1.0, July 2008

Reboot the modem router to enable new network configurations to take effect or to clear problems with the modem routers network connection.
In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Diagnostics to display the following screen.

Figure 5-2

The LAN TCP/IP Setup settings are: IP Address. This is the LAN IP address of the modem router. IP Subnet Mask. This is the LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which must be reached through a gateway or modem router. RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a modem router to exchange routing information with other routers. The RIP Direction selection controls how the modem router sends and receives RIP packets. Both is the default setting. When set to Both or Out Only, the modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically. When set to Both or In Only, the modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives. When set to None, the modem router does not send any RIP packets and ignores any RIP packets received.

5-5 v1.0, July 2008

RIP Version. This controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default, this is set for RIP-1. RIP-1. This version is universally supported. RIP-1 is probably adequate for most networks, unless you have an unusual network setup. RIP-2. This version carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B. This version uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M. This version uses multicasting.
Access Router Management Interface on additional port. When NAT is disabled, the modem routers management interface may be accessed at the modem routers LAN address using the port number you enter. This feature is not available when NAT is enabled. Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the modem router while connected through the browser, you will be disconnected. You must then open a new connection to the new IP address and log in again.

Configuring DHCP

By default, the modem router functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the modem routers LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the router. IP addresses are assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory. See the online document that you can access from TCP/IP Networking Basics in Appendix B for an explanation of DHCP and information about how to assign IP addresses for your network. Use Router as DHCP Server If another device on your network will be the DHCP server, or if you will manually configure the network settings of all of your computers, clear the Use router as DHCP server check box. Otherwise, leave it selected. Specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as the routers LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, you should define a range between 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

Using Static Routes

Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You must configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.

Static Route Example

As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case: Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP. You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This routers address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100. Your companys network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the modem router, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on

5-10 v1.0, July 2008

the 134.177.0.0 network, your router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the companys firewall. In this case you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The static route setup would look like Figure 5-6. In this example: The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. The value in the Metric field represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is a direct connection, so it can be set to the minimum value of 2. The Private check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.
How to Configure Static Routes
1. Log in to the modem router at its default LAN address of http://192.168.0.1 with its default user name of admin and default password of password, or using whatever user name, password, and LAN address you have chosen for the modem router. 2. In the main menu, under Advanced, select Static Routes to display the Static Routes table.

Figure 5-5

3. To add a static route: a. Click Add to open the following Static Routes screen.

Figure 5-6

b. Enter a route name for this static route in the Route Name field. This name is for identification purpose only. c. Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. d. Select Active to make this route effective. e. Enter the destination IP address of the final destination. f. Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255.
g. Enter the gateway IP address, which must be a router on the same LAN segment as the router. h. Enter a number between 2 and 15 as the metric value in the Metric field. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works.

5-12 v1.0, July 2008

4. Click Apply. The Static Routes table is updated to show the new entry.

Figure 5-7

How to Configure Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network. 1. Select UPnP on the main menu to display the UPnP screen:

Figure 5-8

2. Fill in the settings on the UPnP screen: Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If UPnp is disabled, the modem router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the modem router. Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the modem router advertises (broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations might compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic. Advertisement Time To Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, then it might be necessary to increase this value a little. UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address.

3. To save, cancel your changes, or refresh the table: Click Apply to save the new settings to the modem router. Click Cancel to disregard any unsaved changes. Click Refresh to update the portmap table and to show the active ports that are currently opened by UPnP devices.
Building Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks
With the DGN2000 modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an IEEE 802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients by using their MAC addresses rather than by specifying IP addresses.

5-14 v1.0, July 2008

Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations: Point-to-point bridge. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. See How to Configure a Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration. Multi-point bridge. The modem router is the master for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points. See How to Configure a Multi-Point Bridge. Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point. See How to Configure a Repeater with Wireless Client Association. Note: The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and receive traffic. To view or change these configurations, select Advanced Wireless Settings from the main menu:
Figure 5-9 Advanced Configuration v1.0, July 2008 5-15
How to Configure a Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration
In point-to-point bridge mode, the DGN2000 modem router communicates as an access point with another bridge-mode wireless station. As a bridge, wireless client associations are disabledonly wired clients can be connected. You must enter the MAC address of the other bridge-mode wireless station in the field provided. Use wireless security to protect this communication. The following figure shows an example of point-to-point bridge mode.
Both access points (APs) are in point-to-point bridge mode. AP 2 AP 1 (DGN2000 modem router)

Internet 192.168.0.1

Switch or hub PCs LAN Segment 1 LAN Segment 2 PCs

Figure 5-10

To set up a point-to-point bridge configuration (shown in Figure 5-10): 1. Configure the DGN2000 modem router (AP 1) on LAN Segment 1 in point-to-point bridge mode. 2. Configure the other access point (AP 2) on LAN Segment 2 in point-to-point bridge mode. The DGN2000 modem router must have AP 2s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field, and AP 2 must have the DGN2000s MAC address in its Remote MAC Address field. 3. Configure both APs and verify that both APs are using he same SSID, channel, authentication mode, if any, and security settings if security is in use. 4. Disable the DHCP server on AP2. AP1 will then be the DHCP server. 5. Verify connectivity across LAN Segment 1 and LAN Segment 2.

Welcome Page Displays instead of Router Management Interface
This situation can occur if the CD Setup Wizard does not complete successfully; the unit will stay in Wizard Mode. If the Welcome page displays instead of the Router Management interface when you try to go to the Internet or log into the Router Management interface, you can bypass the wizard using one of the following methods: Log into the Router Management interface at http://routerlogin.com/basicsetting.htm. Perform a factory reset to take the router out of Wizard Mode altogether.

Power LED Is Not On

If the Power and other LEDs are off when your router is turned on: Make sure that the power cord is properly connected to your router and that the power supply adapter is properly connected to a functioning power outlet. Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.
If the error persists, you have a hardware problem and should contact Technical Support.

Power LED Is Red

When the router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test. If the Power LED turns red after a few seconds or at any other time during normal operation, there is a fault within the router. The Power LED also turns red when you press the Wireless On/Off and WPS buttons on the side panel of the router simultaneously for 6 seconds, and blinks red 3 times when you release these buttons. However, in this case, the modem router is working normally. If the Power LED turns red to indicate a router fault, turn the power off and on to see if the router recovers.

6-2 v1.0, July 2008

Troubleshooting
If the power LED is still red 1 minute after power up: Turn the power off and on to see if the router recovers. Clear the routers configuration to factory defaults. This sets the routers IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Using the Wireless On/Off and WPS Buttons to Reset the Router on page 6-10.
If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact Technical Support.
LAN or ADSL Port LED Is Not On
If either the LAN LEDs or ADSL Link LED does not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following: Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the hub or workstation. Make sure that power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation. Be sure you are using the correct cable: when connecting the ADSL port, use the cable that was supplied with the wireless-N modem router. If the ADSL link LED is still off, this may mean that there is no ADSL service or the cable connected to the ADSL port is bad.
Window Appears Asking You to Reload Firmware
If a window appears with a message asking you to reload the firmware, this indicates that a problem has been detected with the current firmware. Please follow the on-screen instructions to access new firmware and reload the firmware into your router.
