Application Diagram

The router is installed in a small office near the modem (supplied by your ISP “Internet Service Provider”) and physically connected to the router’s WAN port to the modem’s network

port which connects to the Internet. A network server and computers are connected to the wired Fast Ethernet LAN ports (1-4) located on the back of router thereby providing local

connectivity to access network resources and Internet access.

Basic Router Setup

Creating a Home Network

What is a network?

A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with each other. A

home network of more than one computer or device also typically includes Internet

access, which requires a router.

A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media player/server, a

printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network may also have a switch,

additional routers, access points, and many Internet-capable media devices such as TVs,

game consoles, and Internet cameras.

• Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP (Internet

Service Provider).

• Router – Connects multiple devices to the Internet.

• Switch –Connect several wired network devices to your home network. Your

router has a built-in network switch (the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired

network devices than available Network ports on your router, you will need an

additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to set up a home network

1. For a network that includes Internet access, you’ll need:

• Computers/devices with a Network port or wireless networking capabilities.

• A modem and Internet service to your home, provided by your ISP (modem

typically supplied by your ISP).

• A router to connect multiple devices to the Internet.

2. Make sure that your modem is working properly. Your modem is provided by your

Internet Service Provider (ISP) when you sign up for Internet service. If your modem is

not working contact your ISP to verify functionality.

3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.

4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to your network,

see “Connect additional wired devices to your network” on page 7

.

How to setup your router

Refer to the Quick Installation Guide or continue to the next section “Router

Installation” on page 6

for more detailed installation instructions.

Connect additional wired devices to your network

You can connect additional computers or other network enabled devices to your

network by using Network cables. Connect them to one of the available LAN ports

labeled 1,2,3,4 on your router. Check the status of the LED indicators (1, 2, 3, or 4) on

the front panel of your router to ensure the physical cable connection from your

computer or device.

Note: If you encounter issues connecting to your network, there may be a problem with

your computer or device network settings. Please ensure that your computer or device

network settings (also called TCP/IP settings) are configured to obtain IP address settings

automatically (also called dynamic IP address or DHCP) and to Obtain DNS Server

address settings automatically.

Access Control Filters

Access control basics

Advanced Setup > Firewall

Client Filtering

Advanced Setup > Firewall > Client Filtering

You may want apply client filtering (outbound packet filter) to deny access to specific

types of traffic from computers or devices on your local network to the Internet. You

can also apply a specified schedule when you would like the filters activated or

deactivated.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 16

).

2. Click on Advanced Setup and click on Firewall, then click on Client Filtering.

3. In the entry list, choose an entry to modify and enter the required information.

• IP – Enter the IP address range (use last IP address number only such as

192.168.10.101-192.168.10.110) to apply the filter. IP addresses not included in

the range will not be blocked from accessing the traffic specified in the filter.

• Port – Enter the range of port numbers to block or deny access. To specify all

port numbers, enter the range 1 ~ 65535 to block all access. For a range of

specific port numbers, enter a port range within the range of 1-65535 (e.g. 21 ~

30) and for a single port, enter the same number in both range fields (e.g. 21 ~

21).

• Type – Select the protocol type of traffic to block or deny access. TCP or UDP.

Examples: To block web browsing access, under Port enter the port range 80 ~ 80

and under Type, select TCP.

To block FTP file transfer access, under Port enter the port range 20 ~ 21 and under

Type, select TCP.

4. The remaining fields allow you to specify a set schedule when the filter is activated.

Note: Please ensure that the router System Time is configured correctly under System >

System Time to ensure the filter applies accordingly to the schedule defined. To configure

the System Time, see page 17

.

• Block Time – Select Block to specify a set schedule when the filter should be

activated or deactivated, otherwise, select Always to keep the filter activated

at all times.

• Day – If the Block option under Block Time is selected and you are defining a

schedule, click the drop-down list and select the days.

MAC address filters

Advanced Setup > Firewall > MAC Control

Every network device has a unique, 12-digit MAC (Media Access Control) address. Using

MAC filters, you can allow or deny specific computers and other devices from using this

router’s wired or wireless network.

1. Log into your router management page (see “Access your router management page”

on page 16

).

2. Click on Advanced Setup and click on Firewall, then click on MAC Control.

3. Add the MAC addresses to the MAC Address Control List first before applying the

MAC filter function.

Note: MAC filter can be configured to allow access to the listed MAC addresses and

deny all others unlisted or vice versa. The recommended function is to choose to only

allow access to the MAC addresses listed and deny all others unlisted because it is easier

to determine the MAC addresses of devices in your network then to determine which

MAC addresses you do not want to allow access.

To add MAC addresses to the MAC Address Control List, you can choose to add MAC

addresses by manually typing the address in manually or selecting a MAC address from

your router’s DHCP client list.

• Add MAC Address - Enter the 12-digit MAC address in the fields provided .

(e.g. 00-11-22-AA-BB-CC)

OR

• DHCP Client - Click the DHCP Client drop-down list and select the MAC

address you would like to add. After you select the MAC address, click Clone to

copy the MAC address to the Add MAC Address fields.

Note: You can also check the router DHCP List for the MAC addresses of the

devices on your network, see “Setup the DHCP server on your router” on

page

19 or refer to your computer or device documentation to find the MAC address.

4. Click Apply at the bottom of the page to add the address to the MAC Address Control

List. After the settings have been applied, click Continue on the following page.

Note: If you would like to discard the changes, click Cancel before you click Apply.

To verify that the MAC address is added, the MAC address entry should appear in the

MAC Address Control List.

Note: To delete a MAC address from the MAC Address Control list, click Delete next to

the entry. Then click Apply at the bottom of the page to apply the changes and after the

changes have been applied, click Continue on the following page.

TRENDnet User’s Guide

4. Once you have added all of the MAC addresses to the MAC Address Control List,

review the MAC Address Control options and select the option to apply.

Note: Do not configure this setting until you have added the MAC addresses to the MAC

Address Control List first. The recommended option is to only Deny all to pass except the

following MACs which will only allow the MAC addresses listed in the MAC Address

Control List and deny all others devices that are unlisted.

• MAC Address Control

o Enable - Check the option to enable the MAC address control feature.

If this option is unchecked MAC address control will be disabled.

o Allow all to pass except the following MACs – Selecting this option

will allow all other devices access to your network and only deny the

device MAC addresses listed in the MAC Address Control List.

o Deny all to pass except the following MACs – Select this option will

deny all other devices access to your network and only allow the

device MAC addresses listed in the MAC Address Control List.

5. Click Apply at the bottom of the page to apply the changes. After the settings have

been applied, click Continue on the following page.

Note: If you would like to discard the changes, click Cancel before you click Apply.

Domain/URL Filters
