valid IP address or if you are unsure the WAN connection type.
• Enable WAN: Select Ye s to allow the router Internet access.
Select No to disable Internet access.
61
• Enable NAT: NAT (Network Address Translation) is a system
where one public IP (WAN IP) is used to provide Internet
access to network clients with a private IP address in a LAN.
The private IP address of each network client is saved in a NAT
table and is used to route incoming data packets.
• Enable UPnP: UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows several
devices (such as routers, televisions, stereo systems, game
consoles, and cellular phone), to be controlled via an IP-based
network with or without a central control through a gateway.
UPnP connects PCs of all form factors, providing a seamless
network for remote conguration and data transfer. Using
UPnP, a new network device is discovered automatically.
Once connected to the network, devices can be remotely
congured to support P2P applications, interactive gaming,

to match the MAC address of the previous networking device
recognized by the ISP.
63
4.3.2 Port Trigger
Port range triggering opens a predetermined incoming port for a
limited period of time whenever a client on the local area network
makes an outgoing connection to a specied port. Port triggering
is used in the following scenarios:
• More than one local client needs port forwarding for the
same application at a dierent time.
• An application requires specic incoming ports that are
dierent from the outgoing ports.
To set up Port Trigger:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
Port Trigger tab.
2. Congure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
• Enable Port Trigger: Choose Ye s to enable Port Trigger.
• Well-Known Applications: Select popular games and web
services to add to the Port Trigger List.
• Description: Enter a short name or description for the service.
64
• Trigger Port: Specify a trigger port to open the incoming port.
• Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
• Incoming Port: Specify an incoming port to receive inbound
data from the Internet.
• Protocol: Select the protocol, TCP, or UDP.
NOTES:
• WhenconnectingtoanIRCserver,aclientPCmakesanoutgoing
connection using the trigger port range 66660-7000. The IRC server
responds by verifying the username and creating a new connection
to the client PC using an incoming port.
• IfPortTriggerisdisabled,therouterdropstheconnectionbecause
it is unable to determine which PC is requesting for IRC access.
When Port Trigger is enabled, the router assigns an incoming port to
receive the inbound data. This incoming port closes once a specic
time period has elapsed because the router is unsure when the
application has been terminated.
• Porttriggeringonlyallowsoneclientinthenetworktousea
particular service and a specic incoming port at the same time.
• Youcannotusethesameapplicationtotriggeraportinmorethan
one PC at the same time. The router will only forward the port back
to the last computer to send the router a request/trigger.
65
4.3.3 Virtual Server/Port Forwarding
Port forwarding is a method to direct network trac from the
Internet to a specic port or a specic range of ports to a device
or number of devices on your local network. Setting up Port
Forwarding on your router allows PCs outside the network to
access specic services provided by a PC in your network.
NOTE: When port forwarding is enabled, the ASUS router blocks
unsolicited inbound trac from the Internet and only allows replies
from outbound requests from the LAN. The network client does not
have access to the Internet directly, and vice versa.
To set up Port Forwarding:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
Virtual Server / Port Forwarding tab.
66
2. Congure the following settings below. When done, click
Apply.
• Enable Port Forwarding: Choose Yes to enable Port
Forwarding.
• Famous Server List: Determine which type of service you
want to access.
• Famous Game List: This item lists ports required for popular
online games to work correctly.
• FTP Server Port: Avoid assigning the port range 20:21 for
your FTP server as this would conict with the router’s native
FTP server assignment.
• Service Name: Enter a service name.
• Port Range: If you want to specify a Port Range for clients
on the same network, enter the Service Name, the Port
Range (e.g. 10200:10300), the LAN IP address, and leave the
Local Port empty. Port range accepts various formats such
as Port Range (300:350), individual ports (566,789) or Mix
(1015:1024,3021).
NOTES:
• Whenyournetwork’srewallisdisabledandyouset80astheHTTP
server’s port range for your WAN setup, then your http server/web
server would be in conict with the router’s web user interface.
• Anetworkmakesuseofportsinordertoexchangedata,witheach
port assigned a port number and a specic task. For example, port 80
is used for HTTP. A specic port can only be used by one application
or service at a time. Hence, two PCs attempting to access data
through the same port at the same time would fail. For example, you
cannot set up Port Forwarding for port 100 for two PCs at the same
time.
67
• Local IP: Key in the client’s LAN IP address.
NOTE: Use a static IP address for the local client to make port forwarding
work properly. Refer to section 4.2 LAN for information.
• Local Port: Enter a specic port to receive forwarded packets.
Leave this eld blank if you want the incoming packets to be
redirected to the specied port range.
• Protocol: Select the protocol. If you are unsure, select BOTH.
To check if Port Forwarding has been congured successfully:
• Ensure that your server or application is set up and running.
• You will need a client outside your LAN but has Internet
access (referred to as “Internet client”). This client should not
be connected to the ASUS router.
• On the Internet client, use the router’s WAN IP to access the
server. If port forwarding has been successful, you should be
able to access the les or applications.
Dierences between port trigger and port forwarding:
• Port triggering will work even without setting up a specic
LAN IP address. Unlike port forwarding, which requires a
static LAN IP address, port triggering allows dynamic port
forwarding using the router. Predetermined port ranges are
congured to accept incoming connections for a limited
period of time. Port triggering allows multiple computers
to run applications that would normally require manually
forwarding the same ports to each PC on the network.
• Port triggering is more secure than port forwarding since the
incoming ports are not open all the time. They are opened
only when an application is making an outgoing connection
through the trigger port.
68
4.3.4 DMZ
Virtual DMZ exposes one client to the Internet, allowing this
client to receive all inbound packets directed to your Local Area
Network.
Inbound trac from the Internet is usually discarded and routed
to a specic client only if port forwarding or a port trigger has
been congured on the network. In a DMZ conguration, one
network client receives all inbound packets.
Setting up DMZ on a network is useful when you need incoming
ports open or you want to host a domain, web, or e-mail server.
Caution: Opening all the ports on a client to the Internet makes the
network vulnerable to outside attacks. Please be aware of the security
risks involved in using DMZ.
To set up DMZ:
1. From the navigation panel, go to Advanced Settings > WAN >
DMZ tab.
2. Congure the setting below. When done, click Apply.
• IP address of Exposed Station: Key in the client’s LAN IP
address that will provide the DMZ service and be exposed
on the Internet. Ensure that the server client has a static IP
address.
To remove DMZ:
1. Delete the client’s LAN IP address from the IP Address of
Exposed Station text box.
2. When done, click Apply.
69

pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do
these things.
To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid
anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the
rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for
you if you distribute copies of the software, or if you modify it.
For example, if you distribute copies of such a program, whether
gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that
you have. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get
the source code. And you must show them these terms so they
know their rights.
We protect your rights with two steps: (1) copyright the software,
and (2) oer you this license which gives you legal permission to
copy, distribute and/or modify the software.
Also, for each author’s protection and ours, we want to make
certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for
this free software. If the software is modied by someone else and
passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is
not the original, so that any problems introduced by others will
not reect on the original authors’ reputations.
Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software
patents. We wish to avoid the danger that redistributors of a free
program will individually obtain patent licenses, in eect making
the program proprietary. To prevent this, we have made it clear
116
that any patent must be licensed for everyone’s free use or not
licensed at all.
The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and
modication follow.
Terms & conditions for copying, distribution, & modication
0. This License applies to any program or other work which
contains a notice placed by the copyright holder saying it may
be distributed under the terms of this General Public License.
The “Program”, below, refers to any such program or work, and
a “work based on the Program” means either the Program or
any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work
containing the Program or a portion of it, either verbatim or
with modications and/or translated into another language.
(Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the
term “modication”.) Each licensee is addressed as “you”.
Activities other than copying, distribution and modication are
not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act
of running the Program is not restricted, and the output from
the Program is covered only if its contents constitute a work
based on the Program (independent of having been made by
running the Program). Whether that is true depends on what
the Program does.
1. You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Program’s
source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that
you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy
an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty;
keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the
absence of any warranty; and give any other recipients of the
Program a copy of this License along with the Program.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a
copy, and you may at your option oer warranty protection in
exchange for a fee.
117
2. You may modify your copy or copies of the Program or any
portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Program, and
copy and distribute such modications or work under the
terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of
these conditions:
a) You must cause the modied les to carry prominent
notices stating that you changed the les and the date of any
change.
b) You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that
in whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or
any part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all
third parties under the terms of this License.
c) If the modied program normally reads commands
interactively when run, you must cause it, when started
running for such interactive use in the most ordinary way, to
print or display an announcement including an appropriate
copyright notice and a notice that there is no warranty (or
else, saying that you provide a warranty) and that users may
redistribute the program under these conditions, and telling
the user how to view a copy of this License. (Exception: if the
Program itself is interactive but does not normally print such
an announcement, your work based on the Program is not
required to print an announcement.)
These requirements apply to the modied work as a whole.
If identiable sections of that work are not derived from the
Program, and can be reasonably considered independent and
separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms,
do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as
separate works. But when you distribute the same sections
as part of a whole which is a work based on the Program, the
distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License,
whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire
whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who
wrote it.
Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest
your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is
to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or
collective works based on the Program.
118
In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on
the Program with the Program (or with a work based on the
Program) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium
does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.
3. You may copy and distribute the Program (or a work based on
it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you also do one
of the following:
a) Accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-
readable source code, which must be distributed under the
terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used
for software interchange; or,
b) Accompany it with a written oer, valid for at least three
years, to give any third party, for a charge no more than your
cost of physically performing source distribution, a complete
machine-readable copy of the corresponding source code, to
be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a
medium customarily used for software interchange; or,
c) Accompany it with the information you received as to the
oer to distribute corresponding source code. (This alternative
is allowed only for noncommercial distribution and only if you
received the program in object code or executable form with
such an oer, in accord with Subsection b above.)
The source code for a work means the preferred form of
the work for making modications to it. For an executable
work, complete source code means all the source code for all
modules it contains, plus any associated interface denition
les, plus the scripts used to control compilation and
installation of the executable. However, as a special exception,
the source code distributed need not include anything that
is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with
the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the
operating system on which the executable runs, unless that
component itself accompanies the executable.
If distribution of executable or object code is made by
oering access to copy from a designated place, then oering
119
equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place
counts as distribution of the source code, even though third
parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the
object code.
4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the
Program except as expressly provided under this License. Any
attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute
the Program is void, and will automatically terminate your
rights under this License. However, parties who have received
copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have
their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full
compliance.
5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have
not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to
modify or distribute the Program or its derivative works. These
actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License.
Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Program (or any
work based on the Program), you indicate your acceptance
of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for
copying, distributing or modifying the Program or works based
on it.
6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based
on the Program), the recipient automatically receives a license
from the original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the
Program subject to these terms and conditions. You may not
impose any further restrictions on the recipients’ exercise of
the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing
compliance by third parties to this License.
7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent
issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order,
agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this
120
License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this
License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously
your obligations under this License and any other pertinent
obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute
the Program at all. For example, if a patent license would not
permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by all those
who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the
only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.
If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable
under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section
is intended to apply and the section as a whole is intended to
apply in other circumstances.
It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe
any patents or other property right claims or to contest
validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose
of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution
system, which is implemented by public license practices.
Many people have made generous contributions to the wide
range of software distributed through that system in reliance
on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/
donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software
through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that
choice.
This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is
believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.
8. If the distribution and/or use of the Program is restricted in
certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces,
the original copyright holder who places the Program under
this License may add an explicit geographical distribution
limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is
permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In
such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written
in the body of this License.
9. The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new
121
versions of the General Public License from time to time. Such
new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but
may dier in detail to address new problems or concerns.
Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the
Program species a version number of this License which
applies to it and “any later version”, you have the option of
following the terms and conditions either of that version or of
any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If
the Program does not specify a version number of this License,
you may choose any version ever published by the Free
Software Foundation.
10. If you wish to incorporate parts of the Program into other free
programs whose distribution conditions are dierent, write to
the author to ask for permission.
For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software
Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we
sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be
guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all
derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing
and reuse of software generally.
122
NO WARRANTY
11 BECAUSE THE PROGRAM IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE,
THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE PROGRAM, TO THE EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE
STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER
PARTIES PROVIDE THE PROGRAM “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING,
BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF
THE PROGRAM IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE PROGRAM PROVE
DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY
SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
12 IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR
AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR
ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE
THE PROGRAM AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR
DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE
OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM (INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED
INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES
OR A FAILURE OF THE PROGRAM TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER
PROGRAMS), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS
BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
