Login
Access your router from a browser on your computer. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1
User: root (case sensitive)
Password: admin (case sensitive), or no password
Set and Change Password
We recommend to change your password once you login.
You can change password going to System>Administration

Set up your WIFI
Your BizLink router comes with the WI-FI enabled. You can change the link name (SSID) and
password.
Access your BizLink router on your PC computer by connecting your computer with an ethernet
cable to one of the 4 LAN ports (YELLOW) on the back of the router.
Open a Browser on your computer (Explorer, Firefox, etc.) and enter 192.168.1.1 in the URL
window.
See Login above.
Go to Network > Wireless

NOTE:- Set Additional channels for a secondary WIFI access connection.

Set security password and encryption type
Limit access to a specific device (MAC filter)
Control access from one device to another (Advance Settings)
You can set the secondary wi-fi channel to have a separate access with a different access name.
For example, “Guest”.
Use the same procedure with the link directly below the one you have just set up.

WAN –Ethernet/Fiber Connection
By default, the connection with a local ethernet/fiber/DSL (the WAN connection type) is set to
automatic which is DHCP. Most Cable and DSL connections are automatic.
You can set your Internet connection type from Static IP (manual), PPPoE, PPTP, and DHCP
(Automatic). Usually, a static connection is set at the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and there is
nothing further for you to do.
However, if you need to change this to PPPoE or PPTP or just want to disable it, log into the
router and
GOTO > Network > Interface > WAN to make your setting changes

Set APN (Access Point Name)
Depending on where you purchased the Bizlink router your connection to the Cellular Carrier
may already be set.
Regardless, the RM-826-EC25-WD should auto-configure the Access Point Name (APN) of any
carrier SIM that is inserted.
Nevertheless, if you need to set it manually, or are changing carriers you may need to access this
directly.
Log into the router. See LOGIN above.
GOTO > MODEM > CONNECTION PROFILE
-Insert the APN provided by your carrier where indicated
-Insert any User name, password, PIN, etc. (if applicable)
-SAVE > Save and Apply (lower right of screen)
You may need to reboot BizLink. Either,
-Un-plug and Re-plug power, or
-GOTO > System > Reboot

Connect BizLink to a local WI-FI Hotspot
You can acquire an additional source for your Internet connection by tapping into one (or multiple) local
wi-fi sources.
Goto> Services>Wifi Hotspot Manager
-Click “Enable”
-Select from List
-Enter password when prompted
Connect to the Bizlink Router via a remote login
You can easily connect to your router from any remote location (PC, Tablet, smartphone) if you are
assigned a Static IP from your Internet provider. Simply insert the IP address provided by your carrier
(eg. 45.128.34.215 (sample)) on your browser like you are going to a website and you will get to your
BizLink login page.
NOTE: For some Carriers you may need to add an extra step on your Bizlink Router.
Goto> Network>Interfaces>WAN1>Edit>Advanced Settings and change “Override MTU” to
(whatever instructed by your carrier)

Port Forwarding
Once your BizLink router is connected to an Internet source and you have secured a Static IP address
from that source you can access any connected device on your router network by setting it up on the
Port Forward feature.
Goto> Network>Firewall>Port Forward (on top menu)
Goto> New port forward and enter a name (ideally the name of the device associated)
Set
-Protocol = TCP
-source zone = Interface where your Internet comes in (see drop down)
-Source MAC –leave blank
-Source IP address –any
-Source port –any
-External IP address –any
-External port –select a number between 8000 –8200 (eg: 8090)
-Internal zone –lan
-Internal IP address –select the drop-down box and find the address of the device on your
network
Internal port –80
Enable NAT Loopback –check
Then,
Say your Static IP address is 170.15.236.40. You can access your device by entering 170.15.236.40:8090
on your computer URL.

Load Balancing and Failover
Using multiple internet sources / Give priority to your network devices
If you have multiple Internet sources, such as a wired ethernet and an LTE connection, or two
modems, then you will want to be able to manage those sources and direct traffic to them in a
manner that suits you. This is known as Load Balancing.
Load Balancing is the black box between your network and the Internet. It takes the traffic from
the network, applies the Rules to it and then sends it to the Internet through the different sources.
It is strictly about directing traffic and does not deal with Internet speeds or bandwidth.
The Rules
We can define any number of rules that are to be applied to the traffic that is passing through the
black box and it will determine if a particular rule applies to that data packet. These rules can
include things like the following.
•Use the Wi-fi Hotspot unless it is not available and then switch to Modem 1. Switch back to the
Hotspot if it is once again available.
•All traffic from a particular device on the network should be sent through Modem 2.
•Split all traffic from the network equally between Modem 1 and Modem 2.
•Send all traffic to a specific IP Address through the Hotspot and all the rest goes through Modem
1.
•Send all traffic using a specified port through the WAN.

Or any combination of the above.
Before we can start to implement any Load Balancing system we have to define the Rules we
will be using. This must be done in some detail in order to make implementation possible.
What traffic is this rule applied to?
The first step is to define what traffic the rule will apply to. There are a number of options that
can be selected to identify the proper data packets.
•Source IP Address: the IP Address of a device on your network. This would identify data packets
from a specific device.
•Source Port: a single port or multiple ports on your network that the data packets are associated
with.
•Destination IP Address: the IP Address of the web site the data packets are being sent to or
being received from.
•IPset: an IPSet rule that matches the IP Address of the web site the data packets are being sent
to or being received from.
•Destination Port: the port or ports at the Destination Address that the data packets are being
sent to.
•Protocol: the type of data being sent or received such as TCP or UDP.
The above options can be combined in a single Rule to provide a very specific set of data
packets.
What do we do with this traffic?
Once we have identified the specific data packets we are interested in, we must now decide what
we want to do with them. Will we be doing failover, load balancing or a combination of both?
What Internet sources are involved in this Rule?
We must choose which action we want to do and then decide which Internet sources will be used
with this action. There are 4 actions that can take place on data packets, failover, load balance,
failover w/load balance and load balance w/failover.
•Failover is when you want all the specified data packets to go through a specific Internet source.
If that source is not available then all the packets will go through another Internet source. When
the first source is available again all packets will resume using it.
•Load balance is when the specified data packets are sent using multiple Internet sources. The
Balance Ratio determines the percentage of the total data packets that are sent through each
Internet source.
•Failover with load balance is when you want all the specified data packets to go through a
specific Internet source. If that source is unavailable then the packets will be sent using multiple
Internet sources that are load balanced. The Balance Ratio determines the percentage of the
total data packets that are sent through each of these Internet sources.
•Load balance with failover is when the specified data packets are sent using multiple Internet
sources. The Balance Ratio determines the percentage of the total data packets that are sent
