If your network setup includes more than one router (usually to extend net-
work range), they can firewall each other. You can link the CyberQ Cloud to
the router that connects directly to the Internet, or set up the extension router
so that its DHCP function is turned off (sometimes called Bridge or AP mode).
This can be a complex process and you may have to consult your ISP or router
manufacturer.
17. GLOSSARY OF NETWORKING TERMS
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) – This basically means that IP
addresses are not static, they can changed at any time. In the case of ISP DHCP,
it means that your ISP can change your public IP address. In case of DHCP en-
abled on your router, it means that your router can change the local IP address-
es of attached devices at any time.
DNS - Domain Name System is the method by which website or domain
names are translated into IP addresses. Specify such an address manually,
according to the information provided by the ISP. For 99% of applications
you don’t have to deal with this; This parameter in the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi is
reserved for advanced IT personnel.
HOTSPOT MODE – This mode of the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi allows direct connection
and access from mobile devices or PCs. In this mode, the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi actu-
ally functions as a mini Wi-Fi router, though it does not provide Internet access.
INFRASTRUCTURE MODE – This mode of the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi links to a
wireless router, providing other devices on your network access to its internal
data plus features requiring Internet access.
IP ADDRESS - An IP address (Internet Protocol) address is your computer’s
equivalent of your postal address and just like the mail service, each computer
has to have its own address so that it will only receive the information that is
meant for it and not anything that is meant for someone else.
Your Public IP address is the address that is assigned to you by your ISP. The
Private IP addresses on your network is generally assigned to your computers
and devices by your router.
ISP (Internet Service Provider) – The company that sells you internet service, i.e.
Comcast, Verizon, etc.
KEY – This is the encryption key. The types of encryption are shown below:
WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy. This was the original security setting on
wireless networks. In the CyberQ Cloud Wi-Fi, it must be a value con-
taining the characters 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,A,B,C,D,E,F (hexadecimal value).
WEP 40 requires 10 Characters, WEP104 requires 26 characters.
WPA - Wi-Fi Protected Access. Provides better encryption than WEP and
also has user authentication.
