WAN Mode |
The WAN mode page allows you to configure how your router uses your external
Internet connections; for example your Broadband port or dial-up modem
connection. |
NAT is a technique which allows several computers on a LAN to share an Internet
connection. The computers on the LAN use a "private" IP address range while the
WAN port on the router is configured with a single "public" IP address. |
Along with connection sharing, NAT also hides internal IP addresses from the
computers on the Internet. |
NAT (Network Address Translation) |
Select
NAT if your ISP has assigned only one IP address to you. The computers
that connect through the router will need to be assigned IP addresses from a
private subnet (example: 192.168.1.0). If your ISP has assigned an IP address
for each of the computers that you use, select
Classic Routing. |
Note: The router will delete all inbound firewall rules when switching between
NAT and
Classic Routing. |
