Chapter 4
NOTE: To support NetBIOS for DHCP clients, the Router uses two methods.
First, when the DHCP clients receive dynamic IP addresses from the Router, it automatically includes the information of the WINS server to support NetBIOS. Second, if a user sets up a static IP address, then the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, and DNS server settings must be configured on the Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) screen of the Windows operating system. Then the WINS IP address must be configured on the advanced TCP/IP screen. (For more information, refer to Windows Help.)
Click Save Settings to save your changes, or click Cancel Changes to undo them.

System Management Tab > Dual-WAN
There are two functions provided for users, Smart Link Backup and Load Balance. If you selected DMZ on the Setup > Network screen, you will not be able to configure the
Dual-WAN
Smart Link Backup/Load Balance If you want to use one of the WAN ports as the primary port and the other WAN port as backup, then select Smart Link Backup.
If you want the Router to automatically manage the Internet connection through both WAN ports, then select Load Balance. The Router will automatically compute the ratio of the bandwidths of WAN1 and WAN2, and then it will use Weighted Round Robin (WRR) to balance the loads of the two WANs.
Proceed to the appropriate section for further instructions.
