Netmask This is used to define the device IP  
LAN Network Settings  
classification for the chosen IP address range.  
255.255.255.0 is a typical netmask value for Class C  
networks, which support IP address range 192.0.0.x to  
223.255.255.x. A Class C network Netmask uses 24 bits  
to identify the network (alternative notation “/24”) and 8  
bits to identity the host.  
Lease Time The IP addresses given out by the DHCP  
server will only be valid for the duration specified  
by the lease time. Increasing the time ensures client  
operation without interruption, but could introduce  
potential conflicts. Lowering the lease time will avoid  
potential address conflicts, but might cause more slight  
interruptions to the client while it will acquire new IP  
addresses from the DHCP server. The time is expressed  
in seconds.  
IP Address This is the IP address to be represented by  
the LAN (including WLAN) interface which is connected  
to the internal network. This IP will be used for the routing  
of the internal network (it will be the Gateway IP for all  
the devices connected on the internal network). This IP  
address is used for the management of the AirRouter.  
Enable DNS Proxy The DNS Proxy forwards the Domain  
Name System requests from the hosts which reside in  
the internal network to the DNS server while AirRouter  
is operating in SOHO Router mode. A valid Primary DNS  
Server IP needs to be specified for DNS Proxy functionality.  
The internal network interface IP of the AirRouter should  
be specified as the DNS server in the host configuration  
in order for the DNS Proxy to be able to get DNS requests  
and translate domain names to IP addresses afterwards.  
Netmask This is used to define the device IP classification  
for the chosen IP address range. 255.255.255.0 is a typical  
netmask value for Class C networks, which support  
IP address range 192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x. A Class C  
network Netmask uses 24 bits to identify the network  
(alternative notation “/24”) and 8 bits to identity the host.  
Enable NAT Network Address Translation (NAT) enables  
packets to be sent from the external network (WAN) to the  
local interface IP address and then sub-routed to other  
client devices residing on the local network while the  
AirRouter is operating in Access Point or Access Point WDS  
wireless mode.  
Port Forwarding Port forwarding allows specific ports of  
the hosts residing in the internal network to be forwarded  
to the external network (WAN). This is useful for a number  
of applications such as FTP servers, VoIP, gaming, etc.  
where different host systems need to be seen using a  
single common IP address/port.  
Enable NAT Protocol While NAT is enabled, data packets  
could be modified in order to allow pass-through to the  
Router. To avoid packets modification of some specific  
packets, like: SIP, PPTP, FTP, RTSP; uncheck the respective  
checkbox.  
Port Forwarding rules can be set in the Port Forwarding  
window, which is opened by enabling Port Forwarding  
and then clicking Configure.  
NAT is implemented using the masquerade type firewall  
rules. NAT firewall entries are stored in the iptables nat  
table, while the device is operating in Router mode. Please  
refer to the iptables tutorial for detailed description of the  
NAT functionality in Router mode.  
Static routes should be specified in order for the packets  
to pass-through the AirRouter if NAT is disabled while  
operating in SOHO Router network mode.  
Enable DHCP Server Dynamic Host Configuration  
Protocol (DHCP) Server assigns IP addresses to clients  
connected to the wireless interface and LAN interface  
while the AirRouter is operating in Access Point or Access  
Point WDS wireless mode. IP addresses are assigned  
to clients that connect to the LAN interface while the  
AirRouter is operating in Station or Station WDS mode.  
Range Start/End This range determines the IP  
addresses given out by the DHCP server to client  
devices on the internal network which use dynamic IP  
configuration.  
Port Forwarding entries can be specified by using the  
following criteria:  
Private IP The IP of the host which is connected to the  
internal network and needs to be accessible from the  
external network.
