Frequently Asked Questions - NSW-R4 Gembird

How do I reset my Gembird NSW-R4 router to factory defaults?
To reset, locate the reset button (small hole) on the back of the router. Use a paperclip to press and hold the button for about 10 seconds until the power LED blinks. The router will reboot with factory settings.
What is the default IP address to access the router settings?
The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. Open a web browser and enter this address in the URL bar. The default username and password are usually admin / admin or left blank.
How can I change the WiFi password on my NSW-R4?
Log in to the router's web interface. Go to Wireless settings, then Security. Enter a new passphrase (at least 8 characters) and save. The router may reboot; reconnect devices with the new password.
The router is not connecting to the internet. What should I check?
First, ensure the Ethernet cable from your modem is plugged into the WAN port. Check the WAN LED; if off, try a different cable. Restart both modem and router. Also, verify your ISP settings (PPPoE, DHCP) in the router's WAN configuration.
Can I use the NSW-R4 as a wireless repeater?
Yes, if your router supports repeater mode. Log in to the web interface, look for 'Repeater' or 'Wireless Bridge' under Wireless settings. Select your existing network and enter its password. The NSW-R4 will extend the range.
How do I update the firmware on the Gembird router?
Download the latest firmware from the Gembird support website. Extract the file if needed. Log in to the router, go to Administration > Firmware Upgrade, choose the file, and click Upgrade. Do not power off during the process.
Is the NSW-R4 compatible with all internet service providers?
The router supports standard broadband connections (DHCP, PPPoE, static IP). It should work with most ISPs, but check with your provider for specific requirements like VLAN tagging or PPPoE credentials.
What should I do if I forget the router login password?
If you changed the password and forgot it, you must perform a factory reset. Use the reset button as described in the first FAQ. This will erase all custom settings and restore default credentials.
Can I connect a USB device to the router?
The NSW-R4 does not have a USB port. It only has Ethernet ports for wired connections. For sharing files or printers via USB, consider a router with USB functionality.
How can I improve the WiFi range of my router?
Place the router in a central location, away from walls and metal objects. Avoid interference from microwaves or cordless phones. You can also adjust the WiFi channel or upgrade the antenna if it's external. For NSW-R4, using a repeater is recommended.

Please follow the steps to complete the router configuration.

Step 1 – Operation Mode Settings

The router supports three operation modes: Gateway, Bridge and Wireless ISP. Each mode is suitable for different purpose, please choose the correct mode.

Wizard

Wizard --> Operation Mode Settings

You can setup different modes to LAN and WLAN interface for NAT and bridging function.

Gembird NSW-R4 - Wizard --> Operation Mode Settings - 1

Gateway

In this mode, the device is supposed to connect to internet via ADSL/Cable Modem. The NAT is enabled and PCs in four LAN ports share the same IP to ISP through WAN port. The connection type can be setup in WAN page by using PPPOE, DHCP client, PPTP client, L2TP client or static IP.

Gembird NSW-R4 - Gateway - 1

Bridge

In this mode, all ethernet ports and wireless interface are bridged together and NAT function is disabled. All the WAN related function and firewall are not supported.

Gembird NSW-R4 - Bridge - 1

Wireless ISP

In this mode, all ethernet ports are bridged together and the wireless client will connect to ISP access point. The NAT is enabled and PCs in ethernet ports share the same IP to ISP through wireless LAN. You must set the wireless to client mode first and connect to the ISP AP in Site-Survey page. The connection type can be setup in WAN page by using PPPOE, DHCP client, PPTP client, L2TP client or static IP.

4 Advanced Setup

4.1 Wireless Advanced setup

4.1.1 WPS

WPS is designed to set up the password-protected Wi-Fi networks and to simplify the network management. This router supports WPS features for AP mode (access point), AP+WDS mode, Infrastructure-Client mode, and the wireless root interface of Universal Repeater mode.

Basic Advanced Security Access Control WDS Site Survey WPS Schedule Wi-Fi Protected Settings WPS Disable WPS Status Configured UnConfigured Reset to UnConfigured Self-PIN Number 13670467 Push Button Start PBC Configuration Client PIN Number: Start PIN

WPS: Checking this box and clicking "OK" will disable the WPS function. WPS is turned on by default.

WPS Status: After you set up all security settings the checkbox "Configured" will be highlighted

Self-PIN Number: It is AP's PIN number.

Start PBC: Clicking this button will invoke the Pus Button Configuration of WPS. If one station wants to connect to the AP, it must click its PBC button within two minutes. You will see the reset LED flashing during this time.

Note: This router also has a hardware button, it is the same button with reset. If you keep this button pressed for less than two seconds, the AP will run the PBC function. The reset LED will then flash for two minutes. During this time, the workstations can connect to the AP by using their software or hardware WPS button.

Client PIN Number: The length of PIN can be four or eight digits. If the AP and the workstation use this PIN, they will establish a connection and setup their security key.

4.1.2 Access Control

The Wireless MAC Address Filtering feature allows you to control which wireless stations are allowed to be connected to the router.

Mode: If you choose 'Allowed Listed', only those clients whose wireless MAC addresses are in the access control list will be able to connect to your Access Point. When 'Deny Listed' is selected, these wireless clients on the list will not be able to connect the Access Point. The MAC Address format is 001122334455.

4.1.3 WDS

Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with the other APs. To do this, you should first set AP Mode to WDS or AP+WDS in the basic settings, then enable WDS function and set another AP MAC address which you would like to communicate with. The WDS supports WEP and PSK security mode. Of course in order to make the APs work, you have to assign for them the same channel and security mode.

Pre-Shared Key: Pre-shared key(PSK) is a method to set encryption keys. Commonly used in Wi-Fi Protected Access and WEP.

4.2 Service Setup

4.2.1 Port Forwarding

If you configure the router as Virtual Server, remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP at your local site via public IP addresses can be automatically redirected to the local servers with private IP addresses. In other words, depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the router redirects the external service request to the appropriate server.

The router provides extensive firewall settings to limit the risk of intrusion and protect your computer from hacker attacks.

4.3.1 Security

The firewall will allow or block some services according to the following settings.

Ping Access on WAN: allows or blocks the Ping WAN interface.

IGMP Proxy: IGMPproxy is a simple dynamic Multicast Routing Daemon using only IGMP signaling. It's intended for simple forwarding of Multicast traffic between networks.

Web Server Access on WAN: allow or blocks access to the Web Server from WAN interface.

VPN pass through: allows or blocks the VPN Pass through the router NAT.

4.3.2 Access Control

You can set up some rules, for example MAC filter, IP filter, URL filter and Port filter. You can also add some extra conditions for these rules (the date and time), but then you should enable the NTP-client first.

Note 1: Whenever a network packet arrives, the firewall will try to find a suitable rule from this table. The search goes from up to down and stops when a match has been found. Then the packet will be either forwarded or

dropped according to the rule. If no rule matching the packet is found, then the firewall will let it go to the destination.

Note 2: If you set the date and time in your rule then the NTP client has to be enabled.

Note 3: Click "Add" button to add this rule to the table and click "OK" to make it effective. You also can edit or delete the records:

1. IP Filter

3. URL filter

You can block some URLs using the URL Key string. If Source IP or MAC address fields are blank, then all computers can not access this URL, otherwise the rule only applies to the computer with the given IP or MAC address.

Example 1: block "abc.com", "abc.net" or "www.abc.com" to all computers.
