Note

1. For the stability of the feature, you’d better attach the IP address of your local server (Here in the
example: [Link]) to the device established the FTP server. Please refer to Static IP Address
Assignment for details.
2. You can use the public WAN IP address of the Router to access the FTP server remotely, but most
people don’t know it is or when this number changes as the public WAN IP of the Router is usually
dynamic. To solve the problem, you can use the DDNS feature.

DMZ Host
The DMZ host allows a particular interface or computer to have a direct access to some special
massages via the Router without any firewall or network address translator (NAT) to mask the true
identity of the interface or computer. These special messages refer to an HTTP server or FTP server.
Your Router contains its DMZ settings shown as the screenshot below.

Example

You want to create a DMZ host in your computer for messages transmitting via the HTTP server.

Configuration

Login to the Router’s User Interface, click Advanced to configure detailed settings.

56
 Specify Additional Settings

❶ Select Enable button to enable the feature.

❷ Enter the IP address of your computer (for example: [Link] here. It is the IP address of the
computer with DMZ host created) in the Host IP field.

 Click OK on the bottom of the page to activate your settings.

Note
Once enabled, the DMZ host loses protection from the firewall and becomes vulnerable to Internet
attacks. If you do not need to use DMZ host, disable it as soon as possible.

DDNS
Generally, Internet service providers (ISPs) assign IP addresses to identify each Internet account.
Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. It means that the IP address can change at any time.
So when you use some WAN IP-based features, such as Port Forwarding, and etc., you cannot know
the WAN IP of your Router. To solve the problem, you can use DDNS feature.
Register a free DDNS account, and set up your Router to use this account.
Configuration
Login to the Router’s User Interface, click Advanced.

If you don’t register a free DDNS account, click Register Now to get one.
If you already have a DDNS account, follow the steps below to set up the Router.

 Type the DDNS host name, username, and password in the corresponding boxes: tenda,
12345678 and [Link].

 Click OK on the bottom of the page to activate the settings.

When it’s connected successfully, you can use the domain name [Link] to replace the
WAN IP address of the Router. For example, you can use [Link] instead of
[Link] to visit FTP server when you use Port Forwarding feature.

Note
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the DDNS feature
does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.

UPnP
When UPnP is enabled on your Router, a network device possessing a specific purpose can be
identified and used automatically by another computer or device in your network.
Log in to the Router’s User Interface, and click Advanced > UPnP.
It is advisable to keep the default settings.

Tips
An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems. You might not be able to
access certain websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.

Clone MAC

Some ISPs will bind your broadband account info and a specified MAC address of your computer
together. If you can only access the Internet with a specified computer without a Router, you can try
cloning MAC address for normal Internet access. By default, it clones the factory MAC address (the
MAC address of the router). If you want to clone the MAC address of the current attached computer,
select Clone Local Host’s MAC and click OK on the bottom of the page.

If you want to clone other MAC address, or change the Router’s MAC address, select Manual and
type the Mac address in the following box.

DHCP Server

DHCP server can automatically assign the broadband service information (IP Address, Subnet Mask,

62
 Specify Additional Settings

Gateway and DNS Server Address) to the computer or smartphone, or other devices in your network
wirelessly or via Ethernet cables. Do not disable this function until you want to configure the IP
address manually for each device in your network by yourself.

Tips
The DHCP Server option will be unchecked automatically when you use the Universal Repeater
feature.

Start and End IP

When the DHCP server is enabled, the Router will assign IP addresses to the attached devices. Start
and End IP address indicate the range of their IP addresses.

Lease Time

Select the lease time of the IP assigned automatically, say 1 day. When the lease time is used up, the
IP will renew automatically. So you don’t need to reset it manually.

Preferred DNS Server & Alternative DNS Server

The Preferred DNS and Alternative DNS server are usually the auto-filled when your connection type
is Dynamic IP or PPPoE. If your connection type is Static IP, the Preferred DNS and Alternative DNS
server info will be provided by your Internet Server Provider (ISP). You can also change them in this
field if it is required.

Remote Web Management

This section can help you to manage your Router remotely.

Example

You want to manage your home network when you are in the company. Assume that the WAN IP
address of your company’s network is [Link], and it is a public IP address (because private
addresses are not routed on the Internet). And your Router at home is working properly, the WAN IP
