 Trek N300 Travel Router and Range Extender PR2000
•
You have an ISDN Trek on your home network for connecting to the company where you 
are employed. This Trek’s address on your LAN is 192.168.168.100.
• Y
our company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your Trek, 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 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if\
 you attempt to access a 
device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your Trek forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP 
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the com\
pany’s firewall 
denies the request.
In this case you must define a static route, telling your Trek that 134.177.0.0 should be 
accessed through the ISDN T
 rek at 192.168.168.100. This example assumes the following 
settings:
• The  Destination IP 
 Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route 
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. 
• The  Gateway IP 
 Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be 
forwarded to the ISDN Trek at 192.168.168.100. 
• A metric value of  1 works because the ISDN T
 rek is on the LAN. 
• The  Private  check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case \
RIP 
is activated.
To set up a static route:
1.  Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected\
 to the T
 rek.
2.  Enter  www
 .routerlogin.net  or www.routerlogin.com in the web browser address bar.
The login screen displays.
3.  Enter the T
 rek user name and password.
The user name is  admin. 
 The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
4.  Click the  OK button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
5.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes .

6. 
Click the  Add button.
7. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes \
only).
8.  If you want to limit access to the LAN only
 , select the Private check box. 
If you select Private, the static route is not reported in RIP. 
9.  T
o make this route effective, select the  Active check box. 
By default, the  Active check box is selected.
10.  T
ype the IP address of the final destination.
11. T
ype the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a sin\
gle host, type 
255.255.255.255. 
12.  T
ype the gateway IP address, which must be a Trek on the same LAN segment as the Trek.
13. T
ype a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value. 
This value represents the number of Treks between your network and the destination. Usually
 , a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this link is a direct connection, se\
t it to  1. 
14.  Click the  Apply button. 
The route is added to the table on the Static Routes screen. 
To edit or delete a static route:
1.  Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected\

default login password to a secure password. The ideal password 
contains no dictionary words from any language and contains 
uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up 
to 30 characters. For more information, see  Change the Password on 
page  29 and Password Recovery on page  30.

For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port \
number 8080, enter 
134.177.0.123:8080
 in your browser.
Universal Plug and Play
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet applian\
ces and computers, 
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices \
can 
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices o\
n the network.
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connect\
ions, or real-time 
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a featur\
e in Windows XP), 
enable UPnP

.
To turn on Universal Plug and Play:
1. Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected\
 to the T
 rek.
2.  Enter  www
 .routerlogin.net  or www.routerlogin.com in the web browser address bar.
The login screen displays.
3.  Enter the T
 rek user name and password.
The user name is  admin. 
 The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
4.  Click the  OK button.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
5.  Select  ADV
 ANCED > Advanced Setup >  UPnP.
6. Select the Turn UPnP On check box.
By default, this check box is selected. If the Turn UPnP On check box is cleared, the 
router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources \
of the T
 rek.
7.  T
ype the advertisement period in minutes.
The advertisement period specifies how often the Trek broadcasts its UPnP information. 
This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. 
 The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter 
durations ensure that control points have current device status at the e\
xpense of more 
network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status,\
 but 
can significantly reduce network traffic.
8.  T
ype the advertisement time to live in hops. 
						

							Advanced Settings 
126 Trek N300 Travel Router and Range Extender PR2000 
The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet 
sent. Hops are the steps a packet takes between routers. The number of hops can range 
from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which is fine 
for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or 
reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.
9. Click the Apply button.
The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing 
the Trek and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP 
Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active 
for each IP address.
10. To refresh the information in the UPnP Portmap Table, click the Refresh button.
