Router Configuration
Connect to GWN70xx’s Web GUI from a computer connected to a LAN port or GWN70xx’s Wi-Fi SSID and go to the Web GUI
→ Network Settings → WAN page for WAN configuration.
WAN Settings
The WAN port can be connected to a DSL modem or a router. WAN port support also setting up static IPv4/IPv6 addresses
and configure PPPoE.
IPv4 Settings
GWN7062 has a port (LAN 4/WAN), by default it’s configured as a LAN port. The user can configure this port as a WAN port
(WAN 2) and it can be used in a load balancing between WAN 1 and WAN 2.

Figure 23: WAN Configuration
Please refer to the following table for basic network configuration parameters on the WAN port with IPv4 for GWN70xx.
Connection Type
● Obtain IP automatically (DHCP): When selected, it will act as a DHCP client and acquire an IPv4
address automatically from the DHCP server.
●Enter IP Manually (Static IP): When selected, the user should set a static IPv4 address, IPv4 Subnet
Mask, IPv4 Gateway and adding Additional IPv4 Addresses as well to communicate with the web
interface, SSH, or other services running on the device.
●Internet Access with PPPoE account (PPPoE): When selected, the user should set the PPPoE account
and password, PPPoE Keep alive interval and Inter-Key Timeout (in seconds).
●L2TP
Layer Two Tunneling Protocol (L2TP) is an extension of the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP)
used by internet service providers (ISPs) to enable virtual private networks (VPNs).
●PPTP: Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP) is a network protocol that enables the secure transfer of
data from a remote client to a private enterprise server by creating a virtual private network (VPN) across
TCP/IP-based data networks.
The default setting is “Obtain IP automatically (DHCP)”.
Static DNS Check Static DNS then enter the Preferred DNS Server and the Alternative DNS Server.
Maximum Transmission
Unit (MTU)
Configures the maximum transmission unit allowed on the wan port. The valid range is 576-1450 Bytes, and
the default value is 1450.

custom MAC address.
MAC Address the MAC address used for the WAN.
Tracking IP Address 1 Configures tracking IP address of WAN port to determine whether the WAN port network is normal.
Tracking IP Address 2 Add another alternative address for Tracking IP Address
VLAN Tag Select if either to enable or disable VLAN Tag.

Table 5: WAN Settings
○ IPv6 Settings
GWN70xx routers also support IPv6 configuration.
Figure 24: WAN – IPv6 Settings
Please refer to the following table for IPv6 settings:
Table 6: IPv6 Settings
○ WAN Port Settings

Dual WAN Port to make it as a secondary WAN port.
To access this page, please navigate to Network Settings → WAN → WAN Port Settings.
Multiple Public IP
Address
Please use with Port Forward function, so that you can access to router via public IP address.
IPv6 Check "ON" to activate IPv6
WAN Settings
Connection Type

DHCP server.
●Static IPv6 : When selected, the user should set a static IPv6 address, Prefix Length, default Gateway and
Preferred DNS Server.
●PPPoE (only when IPv4 PPPoE is enabled) : can be only used if PPPoE IPv4 is already enabled.
The default setting is “DHCPv6”.
Static DNS Check Static DNS then enter the Preferred DNS Server and the Alternative DNS Server.
IPv6 Relay to VLAN Once enabled, relay IPv6 addresses to clients on the LAN side.
Note: This function will take effect only "IPv6 Relay from WAN" is enabled on VLAN.

Figure 25: WAN port Settings
LAN
To access the LAN configuration page, log in to the GWN70xx WebGUI and go toNetwork Settings → LAN. VLAN
configuration such as adding VLANs or setting up a VLAN port can be found here on this page, as well as the ability to add
Static IP Bindings.
Figure 26: LAN configuration
VLAN
GWN70xx router integrates VLAN to enhance security and add more functionalities and features. VLAN tags can be used with
SSIDs to separate them from the rest, also the user can allow these VLANs only on specific LANs for more control and
isolation and they can be used as well with policy routing.
○ Add or Edit VLAN
To Add or Edit a VLAN, Navigate to Router Interface → Network Settings → LAN. Click on button or click on
Edit button.
