N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200M Mobile Edition User Manual 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 wireless 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.

Building Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks With the DGN2200M Mobile Edition wireless 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. Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations: • Point-to-point bridge. The wireless modem router communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. See Point-to-Point Bridge Configuration on page 91. • Multi-point bridge. The wireless 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 Multi-Point Bridge on page 91. • Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point. See Repeater with Wireless Client Association on page 93. Note: The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and receive traffic. To view or change these configurations, select Wireless Repeating Function from the main menu: Chapter 6. Advanced Configuration | 89

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

Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations:
•
Point-to-point bridge

•
Multi-point bridge
. The wireless 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.

. Sends all traffic to the remote access point.

Note:
The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default
security profile to send and receive traffic.
