Use Network Address Translation

(Available in Wireless Routing Client and Gateway modes)

NAT (Network Address Translation) allows multiple PCs in a private network to share a single public IP address by using different TCP ports to identify requests coming from different PCs, and is enabled by default. Computers in the private LAN behind the access point will not be directly accessible from the Internet. However, employing virtual servers allows the hosting of Internet servers by using IP/ Port Forwarding and De-Militarized Zone hosting.

Step 1:

Select NAT from the CONFIGURATION command menu. To disable it, select the Disable radio button.]

Step 2:

Click the Apply button to effect the setting.

Important:

NAT provides for effective broadband Internet sharing; do NOT disable NAT unless it is absolutely necessary.
