1 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Using the included RJ45 Ethernet cable (and more, as needed), make
your 4-Port Broadband Router network connections by following the
steps below and referring to the Port and LED descriptions (presented
from left to right).
1. Turn off all devices to be incorporated into the network, including
any PCs, switches/hubs, the modem and the router.
2. Connect the LAN or Ethernet network port of the cable/DSL modem
to the router’s WAN port.
3. Connect PCs (and any switch/hub used to expand the network) to
the router’s LAN ports.
4. Turn on the cable/DSL modem.
5. Use the included power adapter to connect the router to an AC
outlet.
6. Turn on the PC you’ll be using to configure the router.

the router via the Ethernet. This 4-Port Broadband Router is configured
with the default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and its DHCP server is enabled by default.
At this point, you can proceed to Section 2.3: Logging In to the Web
Browser. If you encounter problems from there, return here and follow
the steps in Sections 2.1: IP Address Setup and 2.2: Confirming the
Connection.

2.2 Confirming the Connection
Once the configuration for obtaining an IP address is complete, you
can use the ping command to verify that the computer is able to
communicate with the router. Open the DOS window (as detailed below)
and ping the IP address of the router at the DOS prompt.
• For Windows 98SE / Me: Click “Start,” then “Run”; enter “command”
and click “OK.”
• For Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7: Click “Start,” then “Run”; enter
“cmd” and click “OK.”
If the Command window returns something similar to the lines below,
the connection between the router and your computer has been
successfully established.

With the user interface displayed, you have the option of proceeding
with the Quick Setup procedure (Section 3.1 below) or selecting any
of the 10 additional menu options (Admin, WAN, etc. — Sections
3.2–3.11), which allow you to modify the default settings to customize
your router and network configuration.
3.1 Quick Setup
The Quick Setup Wizard will guide you through the initial configuration
of the router. It’s best that you follow the Quick Setup Wizard step by
step.
1. Enter an easily recognized/remembered name for the router in the
Host Name field, then select a time zone from the drop-down menu.
(Enabling and configuring the Daylight Saving settings is optional.)
Click “Next.”
2. Specify the WAN (wide area network) connection type required by
your Internet service provider. You can select “Auto Detect,” which
will display the connection type in the Result field when you click
“Detect”:

IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP) automatically.
(ISPs that supply a cable modem always use this.) Click “Next”
to advance to the next screen.
Clone MAC: The WAN port of the router has a unique Media
Access Control (MAC) address assigned to it referred to as
“Default MAC.” The “Clone MAC” option is available for special
situations; for example, since an ISP allows only certain MAC
addresses access to the Internet, selecting “MAC Address”
and clicking “Clone MAC” modifies your WAN port’s MAC
address in order to avoid detection of the router, which can
lead to a service disconnect.
Static IP — This connection type allows you to maintain the same
IP address over time (unlike “temporary” dynamic IP addresses
that are assigned with each Internet connection). Click “Next” to

which the connected client computers are instructed to request a

DNS Proxy: When activated, the router acts as a DNS server in your
network, which means that the computer sends the DNS request to
the router, which in turn queries the ISP’s DNS server. Since the
router is caching the results, subsequent requests to the same
domain name benefit from a performance gain. NOTE: These gains
are negible in smaller networks, so leaving this option disabled —
thus having the client doing the DNS look-up itself — is more often
than not the best option.

Security, which is a suite of protocols used to implement secure
exchanges; and “Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol.”
FTP / Non-Standard FTP Port: If the FTP server is using a non-
standard FTP port number, this can prevent FTP data connections

the Internet for use of a special-purpose service, such as Internet
gaming or videoconferencing. It forwards all the ports at the same

time to one PC. The Port Forwarding feature is more secure
because it only opens the ports you want to be opened, while
DMZ hosting opens all the ports of a computer, exposing the
computer so the Internet can see it.
• Super Demilitarized Zone, or SDMZ, is similar to DMZ except that
the local user (DMZ host) uses the public IP address of your
Internet service instead of a private IP address.
IP Address of Virtual DMZ (if “DMZ” is selected): Enter the local IP
address of the client PC that you want to place in the DMZ.
MAC Address of Virtual SDMZ (if “SDMZ” is selected): When SDMZ
is activated, enter the MAC address of the local computer designated
as the SDMZ host.
Get Current LAN IP automatically: If the computer you’re currently
using is supposed to be the DMZ host, you can select this option
and the IP address will be entered automatically.

3.7.2 Static Routing
A static route is a pre-determined pathway that network information
must travel in order to reach a specific host or network.
Destination Network IP: Specify an address you want information
packets forwarded to.
Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask to distinguish the network and
host portions of the IP address.
Gateway IP: Enter the gateway IP address.
3.7.3 Dynamic Routing
Dynamic routing can be used to cache routes learned by routing
protocols, thus allowing the automation of static routing maintenance.
The router, using RIP (Routing Information Protocol), determines a
network packet’s route based on the fewest number of hops between
the source and the destination. NOTE: The RIP function is available
only when the WAN connection mode is designated as either Static IP
or Dynamic IP Address (see Section 3.3: WAN).
Enable Dynamic Routing:

4 TROUBLESHOOTING
If you forget your password....
Press the Reset button for 5 seconds or more (with the router on) to
restore factory settings. The default username is “admin” and the
password is “1234.”
If problems arise with the cable modem connection....
Confirm that the cable modem is working properly and the signal is
stable. Normally, there will be LEDs on the modem that indicate its
operational status. If any LED indicates improper operation, contact
your ISP.
Check the LEDs on the front panel of the router. When the cable
connections are good, the PWR LED should be on and the WAN LED
should be blinking. If you use your computer, the corresponding LAN
port LED should also be blinking. If not, confirm that the cables are
good. If they check out okay, re-visit Section 3.2.4: Configuration to
make sure your configuration is correct. If you can’t access the Internet,
go to the next step
Open Internet Explorer (or another Web browser) and enter
“192.168.2.1” in the address bar, then press <Enter>. Enter “admin” in
the User Name field and “1234” in the Password field, then click “OK.”
Click “LAN” in the top menu, select “DHCP Server,” then click “OK”
and close the browser window.
