Set Up a Wireless Access List by MAC Address
You can set up a list of computers and wireless devices that are allowed \
to join the wireless 
network. This list is based on the unique MAC address of each computer and device\
.
Each network device has a MAC address, which is a unique 12-character ph\
ysical address 
containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or 
 A–F only, and separated by colons (for 
example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). Typically, the MAC address is on the label of the wireless 
card or network interface device. If you do not have access to the label\
, you can display the 
MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find 
the MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.

Dynamic DNS
If your Internet service provider (ISP) 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 register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain 
to your frequently changing IP address.
If your ISP 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 Trek contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by 
DynDNS.org. First visit their website at 
www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host 
name that you configure in the Trek. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address 
changes, your Trek 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 Trek at hostname.dyndns.org.
Note:Before you set up Dynamic DNS on Trek, first register an account with 
one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose URLs display in the 
Service Provider list on the Dynamic DNS screen.
To set up Dynamic DNS:
1. Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the Trek.

Static Routes
Static routes provide more routing information to your Trek. Under usual circumstances, the 
Trek has adequate routing information after it has been configured for In\
ternet access, and 
you do not need to configure more static routes. You must configure static routes only for 
unusual cases such as multiple Treks or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider a situation wit\
h the following  elements:
• Y
our primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
