If any parts are incorrect, missing, or damaged, contact your NETGEAR dealer. Keep the  
carton and original packing materials, in case you need to return the product for repair.  
Position Your Router  
The router lets you access your network from virtually anywhere within the operating range of  
your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection  
can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your router. For example, the  
thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For  
best results, place your router in a location that meets these criteria:  
Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and  
preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.  
So that it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired  
computers.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings  
between the router and your other devices to a minimum.  
Away from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference. Equipment that  
might cause interference includes ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves, PCs,  
the base of a cordless phone, or 2.4-GHz cordless phone.  
Away from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large  
expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and  
concrete can also affect your wireless signal.  
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different radio  
frequency channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between  
adjacent access points is 5 channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 6, or 6 and 11).  
Hardware Features  
Before you cable your router, take a moment to become familiar with the front, side, and back  
panels and the label. Pay particular attention to the LEDs on the front panel.  
Front Panel  
The router front panel has the status LEDs and icons shown in the following figure.

Router Setup Preparation  
You can set up your router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie  
menus and screens to set up your router manually. Before you start the setup process, get  
your ISP information, and make sure the computers and devices in the network have the  
settings described here.  
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP  
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you must change the settings so that it  
uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).  
Gather ISP Information  
If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your  
router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct:  
The ISP configuration information for your DSL account  
ISP login name and password  
Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this situation is rare)  
When your Internet service starts, your Internet service provider (ISP) typically gives you all  
the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask  
your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to  
launch the ISP’s login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an  
Internet application, your router automatically logs you in.  
Wireless Devices and Security Settings  
Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2  
wireless security, which is the wireless security that the router uses.

Types of Logins  
Different types of logins have different purposes:  
Router login. Logs you in to the router interface from NETGEAR genie. See Use  
NETGEAR genie After Installation on page 14 for details about this login.  
ISP login. Logs you in to your Internet service. Your service provider has provided you  
with this login information in a letter or some other way. If you cannot find this login  
information, contact your service provider.  
Wireless network key or password. Your router is preset with a unique wireless  
network name (SSID) and password for wireless access. This information is on the label  
on the bottom of your router.  
It is important that you understand the differences between the login types so that you know  
which login to use when.  
NETGEAR genie Setup  
NETGEAR genie runs on any device with a web browser. It is the easiest way to set up the  
router because it automates many of the steps and verifies that those steps have been  
successfully completed. It takes about 15 minutes to complete.  
To use NETGEAR genie to set up your router:  
1. Turn the router on by pressing the On/Off button, if not done yet.  
2. Make sure that your device is connected with an Ethernet cable (wired) or wirelessly (with  
the preset security settings listed on the bottom label) to your router.  
3. Launch your Internet browser:  
The first time that you set up the Internet connection for your router, the browser goes  
to http://www.routerlogin.net, and the NETGEAR genie screen displays.  
If you already used the NETGEAR genie, type http://www.routerlogin.net in the  
address field for your browser to display the NETGEAR genie screen. See Use  
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete NETGEAR genie setup.  
NETGEAR genie guides you through connecting the router to the Internet.  
If the browser cannot display the web page, try these troubleshooting tips:  
Make sure that the computer is connected to one of the four LAN Ethernet ports, or  
wirelessly to the router.  
Make sure that the router has full power, and that its wireless LED is lit.  
Close and reopen the browser to make sure that the browser does not cache the  
previous page.

Browse to http://www.routerlogin.net.  
If the computer is set to a static or fixed IP address (this situation is uncommon),  
change it to obtain an IP address automatically from the router.  
To troubleshoot Internet access problems:  
If the router does not connect to the Internet, follow these troubleshooting steps:  
1. Review your settings to be sure that you have selected the correct options and typed  
everything correctly.  
2. Contact your ISP to verify that you have the correct configuration information.  
3. Read Chapter 8, Troubleshooting. If problems persist, register your NETGEAR product and  
contact NETGEAR technical support.  
Use NETGEAR genie After Installation  
When you first set up your router, NETGEAR genie automatically starts when you launch an  
Internet browser on a computer that is connected to the router. You can use NETGEAR genie  
again if you want to view or change settings for the router.  
1. Launch your browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the router.  
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net or http://www.routerlogin.com.  
The login window displays:

Internet Setup Screen Fields  
The following descriptions explain all of the possible fields in the Internet Setup screen. The  
fields that display in this screen depend on whether an ISP login is required.  
Does Your ISP Require a Login? Answer either yes or no.  
The following fields display when no login is required:  
Account Name (if required). Enter the account name that your ISP provided. It  
might also be called the host name.  
Domain Name (if required). Enter the domain name that your ISP provided.  
The following fields display when your ISP requires a login:  
Internet Service Provider Encapsulation. ISP types. The choices are PPPoE,  
PPTP, or L2TP.  
Login. The login name provided by your ISP. It is often an email address.  
Password. The password that you use to log in to your ISP.  
Idle Timeout (In minutes). If you want to change the login timeout, enter a new  
value in minutes. This setting determines how long the router keeps the Internet  
connection active after there is no Internet activity from the LAN. Entering a value  
of 0 (zero) means never log out.  
Internet IP Address. Choose one of these options:  
Get Dynamically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP address. Your ISP  
automatically assigns these addresses.  
Use Static IP Address. Enter the IP address, IP subnet mask, and the gateway IP  
address that your ISP assigned. The gateway is the ISP’s router to which your router  
will connect.  
Domain Name Server (DNS) Address. The DNS server is used to look up site  
addresses based on their names.  
Get Automatically from ISP. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS servers. Your

Guest Network Wireless Security Options  
A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The  
security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices  
receive authorization to connect to your network. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) has several  
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption.  
This section presents an overview of the security options and provides guidance on when to  
use which option. It is possible to set up a guest network without wireless security.  
NETGEAR does not recommend doing so.  
WPA Encryption  
WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means  
that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies  
with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.  
WPA uses a passphrase to perform authentication and generate the initial data encryption  
keys, then it dynamically varies the encryption key. WPA-PSK uses Temporal Key Integrity  
Protocol (TKIP) data encryption, implements most of the IEEE 802.11i standard, and is  
designed to work with all wireless network interface cards, but not all wireless access points.  
It is superseded by WPA2-PSK.  
WPA2-PSK is stronger than WPA-PSK. It is advertised to be theoretically indecipherable due  
to the greater degree of randomness in encryption keys that it generates. WPA2-PSK gets  
higher speed because it is usually implemented through hardware, while WPA-PSK is usually  
implemented through software. WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase to authenticate and generate  
the initial data encryption keys. Then it dynamically varies the encryption key.  
WPS-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode can provide broader support for all wireless clients.  
WPA2-PSK clients get higher speed and security, and WPA-PSK clients get decent speed  
and security.  
FastLane  
You can use the FastLane feature to reserve bandwidth on the router for a trusted IP address  
that you specify. The first time you turn on FastLane, you should specify the amount of  
bandwidth you want to reserve and set up the push button for FastLane.  
FastLane prevents others from using up your bandwidth. When you connect to the router  
from the trusted IP address, you have guaranteed bandwidth for video steaming applications.

The WAN Setup screen lets you configure a DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the  
Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) size, and enable the router to respond to a ping on the WAN  
(Internet) port. Select Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup to view the following screen:  
You can configure the following settings:  
Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against  
denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, Teardrop Attack,

only in special circumstances.  
Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online  
games or videoconferencing. Be careful when using this feature because it makes the  
firewall security less effective. See the following section, Default DMZ Server, for more  
details.

Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the router to respond to a ping from the  
Internet, select this check box. Use this setting only as a diagnostic tool because it allows  
your router to be discovered. Do not select this check box unless you have a specific  
reason.  
Disable IGMP Proxying. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network  
(LAN) to receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need  
this feature, you can select this check box to disable it.  
MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (Maximum Transmit Unit) value for most Ethernet  
networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs, you might  
need to reduce the MTU. Reducing the MTU is rarely required, and should not be done  
unless you are sure that it is necessary for your ISP connection. See Change the MTU  
NAT Filtering. Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the router processes  
inbound traffic. Secured NAT provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the  
LAN from attacks from the Internet, but might prevent some Internet games,  
point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. Open NAT  
provides a much less secured firewall, but it allows almost all Internet applications to  
function.  
Default DMZ Server  
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and  
videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation  
(NAT). The router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work  
correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local  
computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the  
default DMZ server.  
WARNING!  
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the  
default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall  
and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the  
DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on  
your network.  
The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a  
response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Port  
Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the router  
forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ  
server.

2. Type the IP address.  
3. Click Apply.  
Change the MTU Size  
The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits.  
When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets  
travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU  
setting than the other devices, the data packets have to be split or “fragmented” to  
accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.  
The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often the default value. In some situations,  
changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU unchanged unless  
one of these situations occurs:  
You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the technical  
support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting. These  
web-based applications might require an MTU change:  
A secure website that does not open, or displays only part of a web page  
Yahoo email  
MSN portal  
America Online’s DSL service  
You use VPN and have severe performance problems.  
You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have  
connectivity or performance problems.  
Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication  
problems. For instance, you might not be able to access certain  
websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or  
POP servers.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are  
willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500  
until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU sizes and  
applications.

LAN Setup  
The LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as Dynamic Host  
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Routing Information Protocol (RIP).  
The router is shipped preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act  
as a DHCP server. Following is the router’s default LAN IP configuration:  
LAN IP address. 192.168.1.1  
Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0  
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks  
and are suitable for most applications. If your network requires a different IP addressing  
scheme, you can change these settings in the LAN Setup screen.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing  
information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives  
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router  
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router  
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.  
RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP  
packets that the router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By default,  
the RIP function is disabled.  
RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an  
unusual network setup.  
RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in  
RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.  
Use Router as a DHCP Server. This check box is selected by default so that the router  
functions as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.  
Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the  
same subnet as the router.  
Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the  
same subnet as the router.  
Address Reservation. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the  
LAN, that computer receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s  
DHCP server. Assign reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP  
settings.  
Use the Router as a DHCP Server  
By default, the router acts as a DHCP server. The router assigns IP, DNS server, and default  
gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway  
address is the LAN address of the router. The router assigns IP addresses to the attached  
computers from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested  
before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the  
default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the router are satisfactory.  
You can specify the pool of IP addresses to be assigned by setting the starting IP address  
and ending IP address. These addresses should be part of the same IP address subnet as  
the router’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between  
192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range for  
devices with fixed addresses.  
The router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:  
An IP address from the range you have defined  
Subnet mask  
Gateway IP address (the router’s LAN IP address)

Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;  
otherwise, the router’s LAN IP address)  
Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup  
screen)  
To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to specify the network  
settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box and click  
Apply. Otherwise, leave this check box selected. If this service is not enabled and no other  
DHCP server is available on your network, set your computers’ IP addresses manually or  
they will not be able to access the router.  
Address Reservation  
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always  
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the router’s DHCP server. Assign  
reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.  
To reserve an IP address:  
1. In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the Add button.  
2. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an  
IP address from the router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.1.x.)  
3. Type the MAC address of the computer or server.  
Tip: If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC  
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.  
4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.  
The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the  
router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration and force a  
DHCP release and renew.  
To edit or delete a reserved address entry, select the radio button next to the reserved  
address that you want to edit or delete and click Edit or Delete.

Quality of Service (QoS) Setup  
QoS is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of  
others. The N150 4-Port Wireless Router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link  
and on the Internet connection. To configure QoS, use the QoS Setup screen.  
Select Advanced > Setup > QoS Setup to display the following screen:  
Enable WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications  
The N150 4-Port Wireless Router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS)  
to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides  
prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access  
categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the  
benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application must have WMM  
enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require  
QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and  
video.  
WMM QoS is enabled by default. You can disable it in the QoS Setup screen by clearing the  
Enable WMM check box and clicking Apply.  
Set Up QoS for Internet Access  
You can give prioritized Internet access to the following types of traffic:  
Specific applications  
Specific online games  
Individual Ethernet LAN ports of the router  
A specific device by MAC address  
To specify prioritization of traffic, create a policy for the type of traffic and add the policy to the  
QoS Policy table in the QoS Setup screen. For convenience, the QoS Policy table lists many  
common applications and online games that can benefit from QoS handling.

Block Services (Port Filtering)  
Services are functions that server computers perform at the request of client computers. For  
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and  
game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends a  
request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or  
port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP  
packets. For example, a packet that is sent with the destination port number 80 is an HTTP  
(web server) request.  
The service numbers for many common protocols are defined by the Internet Engineering  
Task Force (IETF at http://www.ietf.org/) and published in RFC1700, “Assigned Numbers.”  
Service numbers for other applications are typically chosen from the range 1024 to 65535 by  
the authors of the application. Although the router already holds a list of many service port  
numbers, you are not limited to these choices. You can often determine port number  
information by contacting the publisher of the application, by asking user groups or  
newsgroups, or by searching.  
The Block Services screen lets you add and block specific Internet services by computers on  
your network. This feature is called service blocking or port filtering. To add a service for  
blocking, first determine which port number or range of numbers the application uses.  
To block services:  
1. Select Advanced > Security > Block Services to display the following screen:  
2. Select either Per Schedule or Always to enable service blocking, and click Apply.  
If you selected Per Schedule, specify a time period in the Schedule screen as described

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless  
network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to  
link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.  
Repeater  
access point  
Base station  
access point  
The scenario includes these components:  
Wireless Base Station. The router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and  
from the child repeater access point. The base station also handles wireless and wired  
local computers. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC addresses of the child  
repeater access point.  
Wireless Repeater. The router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers  
to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you must know the MAC address of the  
remote parent access point.  
The JNR1010 router is always in dual band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one  
radio. If you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or  
wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the  
wireless base station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless  
router or wireless base station, dual band concurrent mode is not affected.  
For you to set up a wireless network with WDS, both access points must meet the  
following conditions:  
Both access points must use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.  
Both access points must be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point  
LAN IP addresses are in the same network.  
All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) must be configured to operate in the  
same LAN network address range as the access points.

Set Up a Repeater Unit  
Use a wired Ethernet connection to set up the repeater unit to avoid conflicts with the wireless  
connection to the base station.  
Note: If you are using the JNR1010 base station with a non- router as the  
repeater, you might need to change additional configuration settings.  
In particular, you should disable the DHCP server function on the  
wireless repeater AP.  
To configure the router as a repeater unit:  
1. Log in to the router that will be the repeater.  
2. Select Basic > Wireless Settings and verify that the wireless settings match the base unit  
exactly.  
The wireless security option must be set to WEP or None.  
3. Select Advanced > Wireless Repeating Function and select the Enable Wireless  
Repeating Function check box and the Wireless Repeater radio button.  
4. Complete the Repeater IP Address field.  
This IP address must be in the same subnet as the base station, but different from the  
LAN IP address of the base station.  
5. Click Apply to save your changes.  
6. Verify connectivity across the LANs.  
A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the router should be able to  
connect to the Internet or share files and printers with any other wireless or wired  
computer or server connected to the other access point.  
Port Forwarding and Triggering  
By default, the router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies  
to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule for these purposes:  
To allow remote computers on the Internet to access a server on your local network.  
To allow certain applications and games to work correctly when your router does not  
recognize their replies.  
Your router provides two features for creating these exceptions: port forwarding and port  
triggering. The next sections provide background information to help you understand how  
port forwarding and port triggering work, and the differences between the two.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
Remote Computer Access Basics  
When a computer on your network needs to access a computer on the Internet, your  
computer sends your router a message containing the source and destination address and  
process information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer, your router  
must modify the source information and create and track the communication session so that  
replies can be routed back to your computer.  
Following an example of normal outbound traffic and the resulting inbound responses:  
1. You open a browser, and your operating system assigns port number 5678 to this  
browser session.  
2. You type http://www.example.com into the URL field, and your computer creates a web page  
request message with the following address and port information:  
Source address. Your computer’s IP address.  
Source port number. 5678, which is the browser session.  
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which your computer  
finds by asking a DNS server.  
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server  
process.  
The request message is sent to your router.  
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication  
session between your computer and the web server at www.example.com. Before sending  
the web page request message to www.example.com, your router stores the original  
information and then modifies the source information in the request message, performing  
Network Address Translation (NAT):  
The source address is replaced with your router’s public IP address. This step is  
necessary because your computer uses a private IP address that is not globally  
unique and cannot be used on the Internet.  
The source port number is changed to a number assigned by the router, such as  
33333. This step is necessary because two computers could independently be using  
the same session number.  
Your router then sends this request message through the Internet to the web server at  
www.example.com.  
4. The web server at www.example.com composes a return message with the requested web  
page data. The return message contains the following address and port information. Source  
address. The IP address of www.example.com.  
Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server  
process.  
Destination address. The public IP address of your router.  
Destination port number. 33333.  
The web server then sends this reply message to your router.  
5. Upon receiving the incoming message, your router checks its session table to determine  
whether there is an active session for port number 33333. Finding an active session, the  
Advanced Settings

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
router then modifies the message to restore the original address information replaced by  
NAT. Your router sends this reply message to your computer, which displays the web  
page from www.example.com. The message now contains the following address and port  
information:  
Source address. The IP address of www.example.com.  
Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server  
process.  
Destination address. Your computer’s IP address.  
Destination port number. 5678, which is the browser session that made the initial  
request.  
6. When you finish your browser session, your router eventually detects a period of inactivity in  
the communications. Your router then removes the session information from its session  
table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port number 33333.  
Port Triggering to Open Incoming Ports  
In the preceding example, requests are sent to a remote computer by your router from a  
particular service port number. Replies from the remote computer to your router are directed  
to that port number. If the remote server sends a reply to a different port number, your router  
does not recognize it and discards it. However, some application servers (such as FTP and  
IRC servers) send replies to multiple port numbers. Using the port triggering function of your  
router, you can tell the router to open additional incoming ports when a particular outgoing  
port originates a session.  
An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at  
destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but  
also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can  
tell the router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you must also allow  
incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” Using steps similar to the  
preceding example, the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule that  
you defined:  
1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer.  
2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port  
number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then  
sends this request message to your router.  
3. Your router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication  
session between your computer and the IRC server. Your router stores the original  
information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port,  
and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server.  
4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667,  
your router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your  
computer.  
5. The IRC server sends a return message to your router using the NAT-assigned source port  
(as in the previous example, say port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also  
sends an “identify” message to your router with destination port 113.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your router checks its  
session table to determine whether there is an active session for port number 33333.  
Finding an active session, the router restores the original address information replaced by  
NAT and sends this reply message to your computer.  
7. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 113, your router checks its session  
table and learns that there is an active session for port 113, associated with your computer.  
The router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address  
and forwards the message to your computer.  
8. When you finish your chat session, your router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the  
communications. The router then removes the session information from its session table,  
and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.  
To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.  
Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the  
inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the  
application or user groups or newsgroups.  
Note: Only one computer at a time can use the triggered application.  
Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications  
In both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a  
server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the  
Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your router  
ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can  
configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.  
A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server  
relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer’s  
browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using  
port forwarding, you can tell the router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the  
standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at  
192.168.1.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you  
defined:  
1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from  
www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your router. The remote  
computer composes a web page request message with the following destination  
information:  
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of  
your router.  
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server  
process.  
The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your  
router.

2. Your router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering  
the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming  
port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your router  
modifies the destination information in the request message.  
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123.  
Your router then sends this request message to your local network.  
3. Your web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message  
with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your  
router.  
4. Your router performs NAT on the source IP address, and sends this request message  
through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from  
www.example.com.  
To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.  
You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or  
the relevant user groups and newsgroups.  
How Port Forwarding Differs from Port Triggering  
The following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering:  
Port triggering can be used by any computer on your network, although only one  
computer can use it at a time.  
Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network.  
Port triggering requires that you know the computer’s IP address in advance. The IP  
address is captured automatically.  
Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer’s IP address during configuration,  
and the IP address can never change.  
Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the  
triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.  
Port forwarding is always active and does not need to be triggered.

Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers  
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach  
servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP  
server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.  
Use the Port Forwarding screen to configure the router to forward specific incoming protocols  
to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can  
also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded.  
Before starting, determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide.  
Find out the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server  
computer has to always have the same IP address.  
To set up port forwarding:  
Tip: To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address,  
use the reserved IP address feature of your N150 4-Port Wireless  
Router.

Application Example: Making a Local Web Server Public  
If you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web  
requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server.  
To make a local web server public:  
1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP  
address reservation.  
In this example, your router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33.  
2. In the Port Forwarding screen, configure the router to forward the HTTP service to the local  
address of your web server at 192.168.1.33.  
HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.  
3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your router to  
To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user must know the IP address  
that your ISP assigned. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can  
reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.  
Set Up Port Triggering  
Port triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:  
More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not  
simultaneously).  
An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.  
When port triggering is enabled, the router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified  
outbound “trigger” port. When the router detects outbound traffic on that port, it remembers  
the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The router then temporarily opens the  
specified incoming port or ports and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the  
triggering computer.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
Port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer.  
Port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close  
the ports when they are no longer needed.  
Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer  
connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging,  
or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also  
enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) according to the instructions  
To set up port triggering, you must know which inbound ports the application needs and the  
number of the outbound port that will trigger the opening of the inbound ports. You can  
usually get this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or  
newsgroups.  
To set up port triggering:  
1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.  
2. Select the Port Triggering radio button to display the port triggering information.  
3. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box if it is selected.  
Note: If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you configure  
port triggering, port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering  
configuration information you added to the router is retained even though it is  
not used.  
4. In the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes.  
This value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound  
ports close when the inactivity time expires. This value is required because the router  
cannot be sure when the application has terminated.

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 will be, 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 router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by  
DynDNS.org. First visit http://www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host name that you  
configure in the router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your router  
automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and

Static Routes  
Static routes provide additional routing information to your router. Typically, you do not need  
to add static routes. You configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple  
routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.  
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:  
Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.  
You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where  
you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.  
Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.  
When you first configured your router, 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 router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP  
forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to  
be denied by the company’s firewall.  
In this case, you must define a static route, telling your router that 134.177.0.0 should be  
accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.1.100. In this example:  
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 router at 192.168.1.100.  
A metric value of 1 will work because the ISDN router is on the LAN.  
Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.  
To set up a static route:  
1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Static Routes and click Add to display the  
following screen:  
2. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only).  
3. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only.  
Advanced Settings

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
If you select the Private check box, the static route is not reported in RIP.  
4. Select the Active check box to make this route effective.  
5. Type the destination IP address of the final destination.  
6. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination.  
If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255.  
7. Type the gateway IP address.  
The gateway IP address must be a router on the same LAN segment as the N150 4-Port  
Wireless Router.  
8. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value.  
This value represents the number of routers between your network and the destination.  
Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this is a direct connection, set it to 1.  
9. Click Apply to add the static route.  
Remote Management  
The remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your N150 4-Port  
Wireless Router over the Internet.  
To set up remote management:  
1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > Remote Management.  
Note: Be sure to change the router’s 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.  
2. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.

3. In the Allow Remote Access By section, specify the external IP addresses to be allowed to  
access the router’s remote management, as follows:  
To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer.  
Enter the IP address that will be allowed access.  
To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address  
Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range.  
To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone.  
Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses  
as practical.  
4. Specify the port number for accessing the management interface.  
Normal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater  
security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose  
a number from 1024 to 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port.  
The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.  
5. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.  
6. When accessing your router from the Internet, type your router’s WAN IP address into your  
browser’s address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number.  
For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080,  
enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.  
Universal Plug and Play  
Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers,  
access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can  
automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.  
If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time  
communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP),  
you should enable UPnP.

To enable Universal Plug and Play:  
1. Select Advanced > Advanced Setup > UPnP.  
The UPnP screen displays.  
2. Configure the UPnP settings, as follows:  
Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration.  
The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the router  
does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port  
forwarding (mapping) of the router.  
Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the router 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 expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the  
freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.  
Advertisement Time to Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in  
hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of  
steps a broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement  
before it disappears. 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, then it might  
be necessary to increase this value.  
UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each  
UPnP device that is currently accessing the router 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.

Quick Tips  
This section describes tips for troubleshooting some common problems  
Sequence to Restart Your Network  
Be sure to restart your network in this sequence:  
1. Turn off and unplug the modem.  
2. Turn off the router and computers.  
3. Plug in the modem and turn it on. Wait 2 minutes.  
4. Turn on the router and wait 2 minutes.  
5. Turn on the computers.  
Check Ethernet Cable Connections  
Make sure that the Ethernet cables are securely plugged in.  
The Internet LED on the router is on if the Ethernet cable connecting the router and the  
modem is plugged in securely and the modem and router are turned on.  
For each powered-on computer connected to the router by an Ethernet cable, the  
corresponding numbered router LAN port LED is on.  
Wireless Settings  
Make sure that the wireless settings in the computer and router match exactly.  
For a wirelessly connected computer, the wireless network name (SSID) and wireless  
security settings of the router and wireless computer must match exactly.  
If you set up an access list in the Advanced Wireless Settings screen, you must add each  
wireless computer’s MAC address to the router’s access list.  
Network Settings  
Make sure that the network settings of the computer are correct.  
Wired and wirelessly connected computers must have network (IP) addresses on the same  
network as the router. The simplest method is to configure each computer to obtain an IP  
address automatically using DHCP.  
Some cable modem service providers require you to use the MAC address of the computer  
initially registered on the account. You can view the MAC address in the Attached Devices  
screen.

Troubleshooting with the LEDs  
After you turn on power to the router, the following sequence of events should occur:  
1. When power is first applied, verify that the Power LED  
is on.  
2. After approximately 30 seconds, verify the following:  
The Power LED is solid green.  
The Internet LED is on.  
A numbered Ethernet port LED is on for any local port that is connected to a  
computer. A lit Ethernet port LED indicates that a link has been established to the  
connected device.  
The LEDs on the front panel of the router can be used for troubleshooting.  
Power LED Is Off or Blinking  
Check the following:  
Make sure that the power cord is securely connected to your router and that the power  
adapter is securely connected to a functioning power outlet.  
Check that you are using the 5V DC, 1A power adapter that NETGEAR supplied for this  
product.  
If the Power/Test LED blinks slowly and continuously, the router firmware is corrupted. This  
condition can happen if a firmware upgrade is interrupted, or if the router detects a problem  
with the firmware. If the error persists, you have a hardware problem. For recovery  
instructions or help with a hardware problem, contact technical support at  
Internet or Ethernet Port LEDs Are Off  
If either the Internet LED or the Ethernet port LEDs do not light when the Ethernet connection  
is made, check the following:  
Make sure that the Ethernet cable connections are secure at the router and at the modem  
or computer.  
Make sure that power is turned on to the connected modem or computer.  
Be sure that you are using the correct cable:  
When connecting the router’s Internet port to a cable or DSL modem, use the cable that  
was supplied with the cable or DSL modem. This cable could be a standard  
straight-through Ethernet cable or an Ethernet crossover cable.

Wireless LED Is Off  
If the Wireless LEDs stay off, check to see if the Wireless On/Off button on the router has  
been pressed. This button turns the wireless radios in the router on and off. The Wireless  
LEDs are lit when the wireless radio is turned on.  
Cannot Log In to the Router  
If you are unable to log in to the router from a computer on your local network, check the  
following:  
If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection  
between the computer and the router as described in the previous section.  
Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are  
using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the  
range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254.  
If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and  
MacOS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server.  
These autogenerated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in  
this range, check the connection from the computer to the router, and reboot your  
computer.  
If your router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address,  
clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. Restoring the factory default  
configuration sets the router’s IP address to 192.168.1.1. This procedure is explained in  
Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using  
Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.  
Try quitting the browser and launching it again.  
Make sure that you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name  
is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you  
enter this information.  
If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as an additional router behind an  
existing router in your network, consider replacing the existing router. NETGEAR does  
not support such a configuration.  
If you are attempting to set up your NETGEAR router as a replacement for an ADSL  
gateway in your network, the router cannot perform many gateway services. For  
example, the router cannot convert ADSL or cable data into Ethernet networking  
information. NETGEAR does not support such a configuration.

Cannot Access the Internet  
If you can access your router but not the Internet, check to see if the router can obtain an IP  
address from your Internet service provider (ISP). Unless your ISP provides a fixed IP  
address, your router requests an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the  
request was successful using the Router Status screen.  
To check the WAN IP address:  
1. Start your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com.  
3. Select Administration > Router Status.  
4. Check that an IP address is shown for the Internet port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your router has  
not obtained an IP address from your ISP.  
Your Router Cannot Obtain an IP Address from the ISP  
If your router cannot obtain an IP address from the ISP, you might need to force your cable or  
DSL modem to recognize your new router by restarting your network, as described in  
If your router is still unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be one of  
the following:  
Your Internet service provider (ISP) might require a login program.  
Ask your ISP whether they require PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE) or some other type of  
login.  
If your ISP requires a login, the login name and password might be set incorrectly.  
Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name.  
Assign the computer host name of your ISP account as the account name in the Internet  
Setup screen.  
Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet and might check  
for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:  
-
Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the  
router’s MAC address.  
-
Configure your router to clone your computer’s MAC address.

Your Router Can Obtain an IP Address from the ISP But Cannot  
Access the Internet  
If your router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any web pages  
from the Internet, the problem might be one of the following:  
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.  
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www  
addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or  
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address during the router’s  
configuration, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. You can configure your  
computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system  
documentation.  
Your computer might not have the router configured as its TCP/IP gateway.  
If your computer obtains its information from the router by DHCP, reboot the computer,  
and verify the gateway address.  
You might be running login software that is no longer needed.  
If your ISP provided a program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no  
longer need to run that software after installing your router. You might need to go to  
Internet Explorer and select Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and  
select Never dial a connection.  
Troubleshooting PPPoE  
If you are using PPPoE, try troubleshooting your Internet connection.  
To troubleshoot a PPPoE connection:  
1. Log in to the router.  
2. Select Administration > Router Status.  
3. Click Connection Status.  
If all of the steps indicate OK, then your PPPoE connection is up and working.  
If any of the steps indicate Failed, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The  
router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.  
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service  
name, user name, or password. There also might be a provisioning problem with your  
ISP.  
Note: Unless you connect manually, the router does not authenticate  
using PPPoE until data is transmitted to the network.

Troubleshooting Internet Browsing  
If your router can obtain an IP address but your computer is unable to load any web pages  
from the Internet, check the following:  
Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on  
the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP  
addresses.  
Typically, your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you  
entered a DNS address during the router’s configuration, restart your computer.  
Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with a DNS address, as  
explained in the documentation for your computer.  
Your computer might not have the router configured as its default gateway.  
Reboot the computer and verify that the router address (www.routerlogin.net) is listed by  
your computer as the default gateway address.  
You might be running log-in software that is no longer needed. If your ISP provided a  
program to log you in to the Internet (such as WinPoET), you no longer need to run that  
software after installing your router. You might need to go to Internet Explorer and select  
Tools > Internet Options, click the Connections tab, and select Never dial a  
connection.  
Changes Not Saved  
If the router does not save the changes you make in the router interface, check the following:  
When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to  
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.  
Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have  
occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.

Wireless Connectivity  
If you are having trouble connecting wirelessly to the router, try to isolate the problem, as  
follows:  
Does the wireless device or computer that you are using find your wireless network?  
If not, check the WiFi LED on the front of the router. It should be lit. If it is not, you can  
press the WiFi On/Off button on the side of the router to turn the router’s wireless radio  
back on.  
If you disabled the router’s SSID broadcast, then your wireless network is hidden and  
does not show up in your wireless client’s scanning list. (By default, SSID broadcast is  
enabled.)  
Does your wireless device support the security that you are using for your wireless  
network (WPA or WPA2)?  
If you want to view the wireless settings for the router, use an Ethernet cable to connect a  
computer to a LAN port on the router. Then log in to the router, and select Wireless see  
Note: Be sure to click Apply if you make changes.  
Wireless Signal Strength  
If your wireless device finds your network, but the signal strength is weak, check these  
conditions:  
Is your router too far from your computer, or too close? Place your computer near the  
router, but at least 6 feet (1.8 meters) away, and see whether the signal strength  
improves.  
Is your wireless signal blocked by objects between the router and your computer?  
Restore the Factory Settings and Password  
This section explains how to restore the factory settings, changing the router’s administration  
password back to password. You can erase the current configuration and restore factory  
defaults in two ways:  
Use the Erase function of the router (see Erase on page 60).  
Use the Reset button on the back of the router. See Factory Settings on page 94. If you  
restore the factory settings and the router fails to restart, or the green Power/Test LED  
continues to blink, the unit might be defective. If the error persists, you might have a  
hardware problem and should contact technical support at

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping Utility  
Most network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to  
the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. Troubleshooting a  
network is made easy by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation.  
Test the LAN Path to Your Router  
You can ping the router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your router is set up  
correctly.  
To ping the router from a Windows computer:  
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.  
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the router, as in this example:  
ping www.routerlogin.net  
3. Click OK.  
You should see a message like this one:  
Pinging <IP address > with 32 bytes of data  
If the path is working, you see this message:  
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx  
If the path is not working, you see this message:  
Request timed out  
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:  
Wrong physical connections  
For a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is on for the port to  
which you are connected.  
Check that the appropriate LEDs are on for your network devices. If your router and  
computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the link LEDs are  
on for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and router.  
Wrong network configuration  
Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and  
configured on your computer.  
Verify that the IP address for your router and your computer are correct and that the  
addresses are on the same subnet.

N150 4-Port Wireless Router JNR1010  
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device  
After verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote  
device.  
To test the path from a Windows computer:  
1. From the Windows toolbar, click the Start button and select Run.  
2. In the Windows Run window, type the following:  
ping -n 10 <IP address>  
<IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.  
If the path is functioning correctly, replies like those shown in the previous section are  
displayed.  
If you do not receive replies, check the following:  
Check that your computer has the IP address of your router listed as the default  
gateway. If the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this  
information is not visible in your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP  
address of the router is listed as the default gateway.  
Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address  
specified by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote  
device.  
Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.  
If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the  
account name in the Internet Setup screen.  
Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your  
computers.  
Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of  
your broadband modem. Some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a  
single computer connected to that modem. If this is the case, configure your router to  
“clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer.
