Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wall-Plugged Wireless Range Extender WGX102 Router Mode WAN Setup Options The WAN Setup options let you configure a DMZ server, change the MTU size and enable the wireless range extender to respond to a Ping on the WAN port. These options are discussed below. Figure 7-17: WAN Setup menu. Connect Automatically, as Required. Normally, this option should be selected. An Internet connection will be made automatically after each timeout, whenever Internet-bound traffic is detected. This provides connection on demand and is potentially cost-saving in places in Europe for example where Internet services charge by the minute. If disabled, you must connect manually, using the Connection Status button on the Router Status screen. This manual connection stays up all the time without timeouts. Disable SPI Firewall. The Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) Firewall protects your LAN against Denial of Service attacks. This should only be disabled in special circumstances. Default DMZ Server. The default DMZ server feature is helpful when using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The WGX102 is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work properly with them, but there are other applications that may not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application properly if that computer's IP address is entered as the default DMZ server. Advanced Configuration of the WGX102 202-10042-02 v1.1 7-23
