• Method 2: Press the WPS button directly on the device.

WPS PIN Authentication

Connection with the J600 is achieved by entering the corresponding PIN code in the PIN text box. When applied, it will last for 120 seconds. This requires that the wireless network card or clients support WPS PIN authentication.

MAC Filter

Deny Stations in List: If you add the MAC addresses of computers or wireless devices to the list, you can prohibit them from connecting to the J600. Allow Stations in List: This is the opposite of "Deny Stations in List". It only allows devices on the list to connect to the J600; other wireless devices cannot connect.

Disable: This means closing the MAC address filter function.

NAT (Network Address Translation)

The J600 is compatible with NAT / VPN via IPSEC / PPTP VPN via PPTP / VPN via L2TP / WWAN Web Server Access. When hosts within the private network have already been assigned a local IP address (i.e., the private address used within the private network), but now want to communicate with a host on the Internet (without encryption), NAT can be used.

NAT Settings Screenshot: A screenshot shows "NAT" settings with options for "Tipo de NAT" (NAT Type), "Paso por VPN IPSEC" (IPSEC VPN Pass-through), "Paso por PPTP VPN" (PPTP VPN Pass-through), "Paso por L2TP VPN" (L2TP VPN Pass-through), and "Acceso servidor Web WWAN" (WWAN Web Server Access).

DMZ (Demilitarized Zone)

Receives all data from the external network interface and forwards it to the "DMZ IP address".

Enable DMZ: If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can expose a computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer. Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ can expose it to various security risks. Using this option is only recommended as a last resort.

DMZ Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN for which you want unrestricted Internet communication.

DMZ Settings Screenshot: A screenshot shows "DMZ" settings with a "DMZ Host" field to specify an IP address.
