Specify Network Settings

N300 WiFi Router

The Router’s PIN field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the

Network Explorer on a Vista Windows computer) to configure the router’s wireless

settings through WPS.

5. (Optional) Select or clear the Enable Router’s PIN check box.

The PIN function might temporarily be disabled when the router detects suspicious

attempts to break into the router’s wireless settings by using the router’s PIN through

WPS. You can manually enable the PIN function by selecting the Enable Router’s PIN

check box.

6. (Optional) Select or clear the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box.

By default, the Keep Existing Wireless Settings check box is selected. NETGEAR

recommends that you leave this check box selected.

If you clear this check box, the next time a new wireless client uses WPS to connect to

the router, the router wireless settings change to an automatically generated random

SSID and security key.

7. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

Dynamic DNS

If your Internet provider gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a

domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name

Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address,

you do not know in advance what your IP address is, and the address can change frequently.

In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type of service lets you

frequently changing IP address.

If your Internet provider assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x),

the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the

Internet.

Your router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service that DynDNS.org

provided. First, visit their website at http://www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host

name that you configure in the router. Then, whenever your Internet provider-assigned IP

address changes, your router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs

in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If your host name is hostname, for

example, you can reach your router at http://hostname.dyndns.org.

 To set up Dynamic DNS:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. In the address field of the web browser, enter www.routerlogin.net or

www.routerlogin.com.
