Reference Manual for the 54 Mbps Wireless Router WGR614 v4

6-12 Advanced Configuration

December 2003

When you first configured your router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was

created with your ISP as the gateway, 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 the

134.177.0.0 network, your router will forward your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your

request to the company where you are employed, and the request will likely be denied by the

company’s 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 would look like Figure 6-5.

In this example:

• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to

all 134.177.0.x addresses.

• The Gateway IP Address fields specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be

forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.

• A Metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN router is on the LAN.

• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

Enabling Remote Management Access

Using the Remote Management page, you can allow a user or users on the Internet to configure,

upgrade and check the status of your WGR614 v4 router.

To configure your router for Remote Management:

1. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

2. Specify what external addresses will be allowed to access the router’s remote management.

Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.

a. To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.

Note: Be sure to change the router's default configuration password to a very secure

password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language,

and should be a mixture of letters (both upper and lower case), numbers, and symbols.

Your password can be up to 30 characters.
