Static IP

The IP in the LAN is controlled by the router. When connecting, the router will assign an IP to the terminal. The local IP address displayed for each connection may be different. Static IP will assign a fixed IP address to the terminal. The local IP address displayed for each connection is the same.

To set a fixed IP for the terminal, go to "Advanced Settings → Static IP" and follow the steps below:

  1. Select the terminal MAC address you want to fix, and set its IP address (by default, this IP address needs to be on the same network segment as the router IP address).

Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS is dynamic domain name service, which is to map the user's dynamic IP address to a fixed domain name resolution service, allowing you to use a fixed domain name (host name) to host a server (Web, FTP, etc.), instead of remembering dynamic IP addresses that may change from time to time.

To use the Dynamic DNS function, go to “Advanced Settings → Dynamic DNS”, and follow the steps below:

  1. Turn on Dynamic DNS.
  2. Select a service provider (currently only NO-IP is supported).
  3. Enter the Name, Password, Host Name (domain name).
  4. Click "Save", and please wait 2-3 minutes to save the settings.

NO-IP: Dynamic DNS service provider, through NO-IP's DDNS service, can build a dedicated VPS.

Note: Before setting up DDNS, create a DDNS account and purchase a hostname on the service provider's website, and then set up DDNS on this interface.

IPv6 Settings

IPv6 is a next-generation IP protocol designed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to replace IPv4. It can solve the problem of the number of network address resources, and solve the obstacles for various access devices to connect to the internet.

The host disables the service by default, and automatically assigns IPv6 addresses to devices in the local area network after it is enabled.

To enable the service, go to "Advanced Settings → IPV6 Settings", and enter the correct IPv6 address prefix provided by the operator.

Q4: Why is the flow monitoring is inaccurate?

A: The Hardware NAT default setting's open status leads to the absence of monitored data. If you want keep the flow monitoring accurate, you will need to turn off the Hardware NAT Settings function manually, which inevitably will increase the CPU usage.

Q5: Why can't I use the WPS function in EasyMesh mode?

A: EasyMesh mode only supports Mesh networking pairing, and router mode only supports WPS pairing.

Q6: How to resolve the conflict between WAN IP and LAN IP?

A: When the router acts as a secondary router and obtains IP through DHCP to access the Internet, there is a possibility that the IP obtained by the router's WAN and the IP network segment of the router's LAN are the same. For example, the upper-level router uses 192.168.10.1, and the IP range assigned by the local router is 192.168.10.xx, and the local router is also 192.168.10.1, which will affect the normal network function of the router. In this case, when the router detects a conflict, it will adjust the LAN segment, usually adding one to the corresponding IP segment to change to 192.168.11.1. The customer can also modify it according to the actual situation to avoid this conflict.
