- CPU Usage This displays what percentage of the NBG-419N’s processing ability is

currently used. When this percentage is close to 100%, the NBG-419N is

running at full load, and the throughput is not going to improve anymore.

If you want some applications to have more throughput, you should turn

off other applications (for example, using bandwidth management.

- Memory Usage This shows what percentage of the heap memory the NBG-419N is using.

System Setting

- Firewall This shows whether the firewall is enabled or not.

- Bandwidth

Management This shows whether the bandwidth management is enabled or not.

- UPnP This shows whether UPnP is enabled or not.

- Configuration Mode This shows the web configurator mode you are viewing - Expert.

Interface Status

Interface This displays the NBG-419N port types. The port types are: LAN and

WLAN.

Status For the LAN and WAN ports, this field displays Down (line is down) or Up

(line is up or connected).

For the WLAN, it displays Up when the WLAN is enabled or Down when

the WLAN is disabled.

Rate For the LAN ports, this displays the port speed and duplex setting or N/A

when the line is disconnected.

For the WAN port, it displays the port speed and duplex setting if you’re

using Ethernet encapsulation and Idle (line (ppp) idle), Dial (starting to

trigger a call) and Drop (dropping a call) if you're using PPPoE or PPTP

encapsulation. This field displays N/A when the line is disconnected.

For the WLAN, it displays the maximum transmission rate when the WLAN

is enabled and N/A when the WLAN is disabled.
