3.6 LAN Setup – Selecting the NAT Mode
NAT (Network Address Translation) allows your router to manipulate IP addresses so that just
one single IP address can represent an entire group of computers on your network and let them
all communicate with the Internet. This conserves IP addresses and is necessary since there are
a finite number of available IP addresses for use.
Perform the following steps to select the NAT Mode.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the LAN Setup tab.
3. Click LAN Settings in the side menu to display the LAN Settings screen.
4. Select the NAT Mode from the NAT Mode field drop-down list. The optional modes are:
Bridged - Data will pass through the device directly without any routing.
Routed with NAT - Data will be routed by the device and all the outgoing packets will be
NATed.
Routed without NAT - Data will be routed by the device but all the outgoing packets will not
be NATed.
5. Click the Apply button at the bottom of the screen.

You can set your wireless mode to optimize performance based on the type of network adapters
being used by your network devices, e.g., 802.11b, 820.11g, and 802.11n. Select the proper
mode to support all of the wireless devices that will connect to your router.
Perform the following steps to set your wireless mode.
1. Access and log into the configuration interface.
2. Click the Wireless Setup tab.
3. Click Advanced in the side menu to display the Advanced Settings screen.
