10/100 4-Port VPN Router
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

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 settings.
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.
