Advanced Settings100D6200 WiFi Modem Router Wireless Repeating Function (WDS)You can set the WiFi Modem Router up to be used as a wireless access point (AP). Doing this setup enables the WiFi modem router to act as a wireless repeater. A wireless repeater connects to another wireless WiFi modem router as a client where the network to which it connects becomes the ISP service.Wireless repeating is a type of Wireless Distribution System (WDS). A WDS allows a wireless network to be expanded through multiple access points instead of using a wired backbone to link them. The following figure shows a wireless repeating scenario.RepeaterBase stationaccess pointaccess pointFigure 12. Wireless repeating scenarioNote: If you use the wireless repeating function, you need to select either WEP or None as a security option in the Wireless Settings screen. The WEP option displays only if you select the wireless mode Up to 54 Mbps in the Wireless Settings screen.Wireless Base Station. The WiFi modem router acts as the parent access point, bridging traffic to and from the child repeater access point, as well as handling wireless and wired local computers. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the child repeater access point.Wireless Repeater. The WiFi modem router sends all traffic from its local wireless or wired computers to a remote access point. To configure this mode, you have to know the MAC address of the remote parent access point.

Advanced Settings101 D6200 WiFi Modem RouterThe D6200 WiFi modem router is always in dual-band concurrent mode, unless you turn off one radio. If you enable the wireless repeater in either radio band, the wireless base station or wireless repeater cannot be enabled in the other radio band. However, if you enable the wireless base station in either radio band and use the other radio band as a wireless WiFi modem router or wireless base station, dual-band concurrent mode is not affected.For you to set up a wireless network with WDS, the following conditions have to be met for both access points:•Both access points have to use the same SSID, wireless channel, and encryption mode.•Both access points have to be on the same LAN IP subnet. That is, all the access point LAN IP addresses are in the same network.•All LAN devices (wired and wireless computers) have to be configured to operate in the same LAN network address range as the access points.Wireless Repeating Function Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Wireless Repeating Function to view or change wireless repeater settings for the WiFi modem router.•Enable Wireless Repeating Function.

Verify connectivity across the LANs. A computer on any wireless or wired LAN segment of the WiFi modem router should be able to connect to the Internet or share files and printers with other wireless or wired computer or server connected to the other access point.Port Forwarding and TriggeringBy default, the WiFi modem router blocks inbound traffic from the Internet to your computers except replies to your outbound traffic. You might need to create exceptions to this rule for these purposes:•To allow remote computers on the Internet to access a server on your local network. •To allow certain applications and games to work correctly when their replies are not recognized by your WiFi modem router.Your WiFi modem router provides two features for creating these exceptions: port forwarding and port triggering. The next sections provide background information to help you understand how port forwarding and port triggering work, and the differences between the two.Remote Computer Access BasicsWhen a computer on your network needs to access a computer on the Internet, your computer sends your WiFi modem router a message containing the source and destination address and process information. Before forwarding your message to the remote computer, your WiFi modem router has to modify the source information and create and track the communication session so that replies can be routed back to your computer. Here is an example of normal outbound traffic and the resulting inbound responses:

Advanced Settings104D6200 WiFi Modem Router 1. You open a browser, and your operating system assigns port number 5678 to this browser session. 2. You type http://www.example.com into the URL field, and your computer creates a web page request message with the following address and port information. The request message is sent to your WiFi modem router.Source address. Your computer’s IP address.Source port number. 5678, which is the browser session. Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which your computer finds by asking a DNS server.Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.3. Your WiFi modem router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication session between your computer and the web server at www.example.com. Before sending the web page request message to www.example.com, your WiFi modem router stores the original information and then modifies the source information in the request message, performing Network Address Translation (NAT):•The source address is replaced with your WiFi modem router’s public IP address. This requirement is necessary because your computer uses a private IP address that is not globally unique and cannot be used on the Internet.•The source port number is changed to a number chosen by the WiFi modem router, such as 33333. This requirement is necessary because two computers could independently be using the same session number.Your WiFi modem router then sends this request message through the Internet to the web server at www.example.com.4. The web server at www.example.com composes a return message with the requested web page data. The return message contains the following address and port information. The web server then sends this reply message to your WiFi modem router.Source address. The IP address of www.example.com.Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.Destination address. The public IP address of your WiFi modem router.Destination port number. 33333.5. Upon receiving the incoming message, your WiFi modem router checks its session table to determine whether an active session for port number 33333 exists. Finding an active session, the WiFi modem router then modifies the message to restore the original address information replaced by NAT. Your WiFi modem router sends this reply message to your computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com. The message now contains the following address and port information.Source address. The IP address of www.example.com.Source port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.Destination address. Your computer’s IP address.

Advanced Settings105 D6200 WiFi Modem RouterDestination port number. 5678, which is the browser session that made the initial request.6. When you finish your browser session, your WiFi modem router eventually detects a period of inactivity in the communications. Your WiFi modem router then removes the session information from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port number 33333.Port Triggering to Open Incoming PortsIn the preceding example, requests are sent to a remote computer by your WiFi modem router from a particular service port number, and replies from the remote computer to your WiFi modem router are directed to that port number. If the remote server sends a reply to a different port number, your WiFi modem router does not recognize it and discards it. However, some application servers (such as FTP and IRC servers) send replies to multiple port numbers. Using the port triggering function of your WiFi modem router, you can tell the WiFi modem router to open more incoming ports when a particular outgoing port originates a session.An example is Internet Relay Chat (IRC). Your computer connects to an IRC server at destination port 6667. The IRC server not only responds to your originating source port, but also sends an “identify” message to your computer on port 113. Using port triggering, you can tell the WiFi modem router, “When you initiate a session with destination port 6667, you have to also allow incoming traffic on port 113 to reach the originating computer.” Using steps similar to the preceding example, the following sequence shows the effects of the port triggering rule you have defined:1. You open an IRC client program to start a chat session on your computer. 2. Your IRC client composes a request message to an IRC server using a destination port number of 6667, the standard port number for an IRC server process. Your computer then sends this request message to your WiFi modem router.3. Your WiFi modem router creates an entry in its internal session table describing this communication session between your computer and the IRC server. Your WiFi modem router stores the original information, performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source address and port, and sends this request message through the Internet to the IRC server. 4. Noting your port triggering rule and having observed the destination port number of 6667, your WiFi modem router creates an additional session entry to send any incoming port 113 traffic to your computer.5. The IRC server sends a return message to your WiFi modem router using the NAT-assigned source port (as in the previous example, say port 33333) as the destination port. The IRC server also sends an identify message to your WiFi modem router with destination port 113.6. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 33333, your WiFi modem router checks its session table to determine whether an active session for port number 33333 exists. Finding an active session, the WiFi modem router restores the original address information replaced by NAT and sends this reply message to your computer.7. Upon receiving the incoming message to destination port 113, your WiFi modem router checks its session table and learns that an active session exists for port 113 associated with

Advanced Settings106D6200 WiFi Modem Router your computer. The WiFi modem router replaces the message’s destination IP address with your computer’s IP address and forwards the message to your computer.8. When you finish your chat session, your WiFi modem router eventually senses a period of inactivity in the communications. The WiFi modem router then removes the session information from its session table, and incoming traffic is no longer accepted on port numbers 33333 or 113.To configure port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that triggers the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or newsgroups.Note: Only one computer at a time can use the triggered application.Port Forwarding to Permit External Host CommunicationsIn both of the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your WiFi modem router ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature. A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer’s browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the WiFi modem router, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at 192.168.1.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:1. The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your WiFi modem router. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information: Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your WiFi modem router.Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your WiFi modem router.2. Your WiFi modem router receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your WiFi modem router modifies the destination information in the request message:

Advanced Settings107 D6200 WiFi Modem RouterThe destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123.Your WiFi modem router then sends this request message to your local network.3. Your web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your WiFi modem router.4. Your WiFi modem router performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com.To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. Usually you can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups and newsgroups.How Port Forwarding Differs from Port TriggeringThe following points summarize the differences between port forwarding and port triggering:•Port triggering can be used by any computer on your network, although only one computer can use it at a time.•Port forwarding is configured for a single computer on your network.•Port triggering requires that you know the computer’s IP address in advance. The IP address is captured automatically.•Port forwarding requires that you specify the computer’s IP address during configuration, and the IP address can never change.•Port triggering requires specific outbound traffic to open the inbound ports, and the triggered ports are closed after a period of no activity.•Port forwarding is always active and does not need to be triggered.Set Up Port Forwarding to Local ServersUsing the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen to configure the WiFi modem router to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded.Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide, and the local IP address of the computer that provides the service. The server computer has to always have the same IP address.

Advanced Settings108D6200 WiFi Modem Router To set up port forwarding:Tip: To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP address feature of your WiFi Modem Router. 1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering to display the following screen:Port Forwarding is selected as the service type.2. Click Add to display the following screen:3. From the Service list, select the service or game that you host on your network. If the service does not appear in the list, see Add a Custom Service on page 109.

Advanced Settings110D6200 WiFi Modem Router 3. Click Edit Service or Delete Service.Application Example: Making a Local Web Server PublicIf you host a web server on your local network, you can use port forwarding to allow web requests from anyone on the Internet to reach your web server. To make a local web server public:1. Assign your web server either a fixed IP address or a dynamic IP address using DHCP address reservation. In this example, your WiFi modem router always gives your web server an IP address of 192.168.1.33. 2. In the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering screen, configure the WiFi modem router to forward the HTTP service to the local address of your web server at 192.168.1.33. HTTP (port 80) is the standard protocol for web servers.3. (Optional) Register a host name with a Dynamic DNS service, and configure your WiFi modem router to use the name as described in Dynamic DNS on page 112. To access your web server from the Internet, a remote user has to know the IP address that has been assigned by your ISP. However, if you use a Dynamic DNS service, the remote user can reach your server by a user-friendly Internet name, such as mynetgear.dyndns.org.Set Up Port TriggeringPort triggering is a dynamic extension of port forwarding that is useful in these cases:•More than one local computer needs port forwarding for the same application (but not simultaneously).•An application needs to open incoming ports that are different from the outgoing port.When port triggering is enabled, the WiFi modem router monitors outbound traffic looking for a specified outbound “trigger” port. When the WiFi modem router detects outbound traffic on that port, it remembers the IP address of the local computer that sent the data. The WiFi modem router then temporarily opens the specified incoming port or ports, and forwards incoming traffic on the triggered ports to the triggering computer. While port forwarding creates a static mapping of a port number or range to a single local computer, port triggering can dynamically open ports to any computer that needs them and can close the ports when they are no longer needed.Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, real-time communications such as instant messaging, or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should also enable Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) according to the instructions in Universal Plug and Play on page 117.

Advanced Settings111 D6200 WiFi Modem RouterTo set up port triggering, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. Also, you need to know the number of the outbound port that triggers the opening of the inbound ports. You can usually determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or user groups or newsgroups.To set up port triggering: 1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Port Forwarding/Port Triggering.2. Select the Port Triggering radio button to display the port triggering information.3. Clear the Disable Port Triggering check box if it is selected.Note: If the Disable Port Triggering check box is selected after you configure port triggering, port triggering is disabled. However, any port triggering configuration information you added to the WiFi modem router is retained even though it is not used.4. In the Port Triggering Timeout field, enter a value up to 9999 minutes. This value controls the inactivity timer for the designated inbound ports. The inbound ports close when the inactivity time expires. This closure is required because the WiFi modem router cannot be sure when the application has terminated.

Advanced Settings112D6200 WiFi Modem Router 5. Click Add Service to display the following screen: 6. In the Service Name field, type a descriptive service name. 7. In the Service User list, select Any (the default) to allow this service to be used by any computer on the Internet. Otherwise, select Single address, and enter the IP address of one computer to restrict the service to a particular computer. 8. Select the service type, either TCP or UDP or both (TCP/UDP). If you are not sure, select TCP/UDP.9. In the Triggering Port field, enter the number of the outbound traffic port that causes the inbound ports to be opened. 10. Enter the inbound connection port information in the Service Type, Starting Port, and Ending Port fields.11. Click Apply. The service appears in the Port Triggering Portmap table. Dynamic DNSIf your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). However, if your Internet account uses a dynamically assigned IP address, you do not know in advance what your IP address is, and the address can change frequently. In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type of service lets you register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your frequently changing IP address.If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic DNS service does not works because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.Your WiFi modem router contains a client that can connect to the Dynamic DNS service provided by DynDNS.org. First visit their website at http://www.dyndns.org and obtain an account and host name that you configure in the WiFi modem router. Then, whenever your ISP-assigned IP address changes, your WiFi modem router automatically contacts the Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address. If

Advanced Settings113 D6200 WiFi Modem Routeryour host name is hostname, for example, you can reach your WiFi modem router at http://hostname.dyndns.org.On the Advanced tab, select Advanced Setup > Dynamic DNS to display the following screen:To set up Dynamic DNS:1. Register for an account with one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose addresses appear in the Service Provider list.2. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box. 3. Select the address of your Dynamic DNS service provider. For example, for DynDNS.org, select www.dyndns.org.4. Type the host name (or domain name) that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you.5. Type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account. This name is the name that you use to log in to your account, not your host name.6. Type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account. 7. Click Apply to save your configuration.Static RoutesStatic routes provide more routing information to your WiFi modem router. Under usual circumstances, the WiFi modem router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure more static routes. You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple WiFi modem routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:

Advanced Settings114D6200 WiFi Modem Router •Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.•You have an ISDN WiFi modem router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This WiFi modem router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.1.100.•Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.When you first configured your WiFi modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.1.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your WiFi modem router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.In this case you have to define a static route, telling your WiFi modem router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN WiFi modem router at 192.168.1.100. In this example:•The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. •The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be forwarded to the ISDN WiFi modem router at 192.168.1.100. •A metric value of 1 works since the ISDN WiFi modem router is on the LAN. •Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.To set up a static route:1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Static Routes to display the following screen:

Advanced Settings115 D6200 WiFi Modem Router2. Click Add to display the following screen:3. In the Route Name field, type a name for this static route (for identification purposes only).4. Select the Private check box if you want to limit access to the LAN only. If Private is selected, the static route is not reported in RIP. 5. Select the Active check box to make this route effective. 6. Type the IP address of the final destination. 7. Type the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. 8. Type the gateway IP address, which has to be a WiFi modem router on the same LAN segment as the WiFi Modem Router. 9. Type a number from 1 through 15 as the metric value. This value represents the number of WiFi modem routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works, but if this link is a direct connection, set it to 1. 10. Click Apply to add the static route.

Advanced Settings116D6200 WiFi Modem Router Remote ManagementThe remote management feature lets you upgrade or check the status of your WiFi Modem Router over the Internet.To set up remote management:1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > Remote Management. Note: Be sure to change the WiFi modem router’s default login password to a secure password. The ideal password should contain no dictionary words from any language and contain uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. It can be up to 30 characters.2. Select the Turn Remote Management On check box.3. Under Allow Remote Access By, specify the external IP addresses allowed to access the WiFi modem router’s remote web management interface.Note: For enhanced security, restrict access to as few external IP addresses as practical.•To allow access from a single IP address on the Internet, select Only This Computer. Enter the IP address that is allowed access. •To allow access from a range of IP addresses on the Internet, select IP Address Range. Enter a beginning and ending IP address to define the allowed range. •To allow access from any IP address on the Internet, select Everyone. 4. Specify the port number for accessing the web management interface.

Advanced Settings117 D6200 WiFi Modem RouterNormal web browser access uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, enter a custom port number for the remote web management interface. Choose a number from 1024 through 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.5. Click Apply to have your changes take effect.6. When accessing your WiFi modem router from the Internet, type your WiFi modem router’s WAN IP address into your browser’s address or location field followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 and you use port number 8080, enter http://134.177.0.123:8080 in your browser.USB SettingsFor added security, the WiFi modem router can be set up to share only approved USB devices. See Specify Approved USB Devices on page 70 for the procedure.Universal Plug and PlayUniversal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, to access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.Note: If you use applications such as multiplayer gaming, peer-to-peer connections, or real-time communications such as instant messaging or remote assistance (a feature in Windows XP), you should enable UPnP.

Advanced Settings118D6200 WiFi Modem Router To turn on Universal Plug and Play:1. Select ADVANCED > Advanced Setup > UPnP. The UPnP screen displays. 2. The available settings and information in this screen are:Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is disabled. If this check box is not selected, the WiFi modem router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping) of the WiFi modem router. Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the WiFi modem router broadcasts its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of more network traffic. Longer durations can compromise the freshness of the device status, but can significantly reduce network traffic.Advertisement Time to Live. The time to live for the advertisement is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. The time to live hop count is the number of steps a broadcast packet is allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value for the advertisement time to live is 4 hops, which should be fine for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, it might be necessary to increase this value.UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is accessing the WiFi modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is open and whether that port is still active for each IP address. 3. Click Apply to save your settings.

See Factory Settings on page 141. If you restore the factory settings and the WiFi modem router fails to restart, or the green Power LED continues to blink, the unit might be defective. If the error persists, you might have a hardware problem and should contact technical support at http://www.netgear.com/support.Troubleshoot Your Network Using the Ping UtilityMost network devices and routers contain a ping utility that sends an echo request packet to the designated device. The device then responds with an echo reply. You can easily troubleshoot a network by using the ping utility in your computer or workstation. Test the LAN Path to Your RouterYou can ping the WiFi modem router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your WiFi modem router is set up correctly.

Troubleshooting139 D6200 WiFi Modem RouterTo ping the WiFi modem router from a computer running Windows:1. From the Windows toolbar, click Start and select Run.2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the WiFi modem router, as in this example:ping www.routerlogin.net3. Click OK.You should see a message like this one:Pinging <IP address > with 32 bytes of dataIf the path is working, you see this message:Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxxIf the path is not working, you see this message:Request timed outIf the path is not functioning correctly, you might have one of the following problems:•Wrong physical connectionsFor a wired connection, make sure that the numbered LAN port LED is lit for the port to which you are connected.Check that the appropriate LEDs are lit for your network devices. If your WiFi modem router and computer are connected to a separate Ethernet switch, make sure that the Ethernet LEDs are lit for the switch ports that are connected to your computer and WiFi modem router.•Wrong network configurationVerify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your computer. Verify that the IP address for your WiFi modem router and your computer are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote DeviceAfter verifying that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your computer to a remote device.1. From the Windows toolbar, click Start and select Run.2. In the Windows Run window, type:ping -n 10 <IP address>where <IP address> is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP DNS server.If the path is functioning correctly, replies like the examples shown in the previous section are displayed.

Troubleshooting140D6200 WiFi Modem Router If you do not receive replies:•Check that your computer has the IP address of your WiFi modem router listed as the default gateway. If the IP configuration of your computer is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your computer’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the WiFi modem router is listed as the default gateway.•Check to see that the network address of your computer (the portion of the IP address specified by the subnet mask) is different from the network address of the remote device.•Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.•If your ISP assigned a host name to your computer, enter that host name as the account name in the Internet Basic Settings screen.•Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your computers.Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your broadband modem, but some ISPs additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single computer connected to that modem. If so, configure your WiFi modem router to “clone” or “spoof” the MAC address from the authorized computer.
