Safety and Product Care  
With reference to unpacking, installation, use and maintenance of your electronic device, the following basic guidelines are  
recommended:  
.
.
.
Do not use or install this product near water to avoid fire or shock hazard. For example, near a bathtub, kitchen sink,  
laundry tub, or near a swimming pool. Also, do not expose the equipment to rain or damp areas (e.g. a wet basement).  
Do not connect the power supply cord on elevated surfaces. Allow it to lie freely. There should be no obstructions in its  
path and no heavy items should be placed on the cord. In addition, do not walk on, step on or mistreat the cord.  
To safeguard the equipment against overheating, make sure that all openings in the unit that offer exposure to air are  
unobstructed.  
WARNING  
Disconnect the power line from the device before servicing.  
Transport and Handling  
When transporting the NB304N, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures the product will not  
be damaged.  
In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent  
damage during courier transport.

NB304N – ADSL2+ Wireless N300 Modem Router  
Installation and Configuration of  
the NB304N  
Placement of your NB304N  
The wireless connection between your NB304N and your Wi-Fi devices will be stronger the closer your connected devices are to  
your NB304N. Your wireless connection and performance will degrade as the distance between your NB304N and connected  
devices increases. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.  
If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the  
computer to a position between three to five meters from the NB304N in order to see if distance is the problem.  
Please note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless  
network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this  
checklist may help.  
If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your Wi-Fi Devices and your NB304N, please try the following steps:  
.
In multi-storey homes, place the NB304N on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may  
mean placing the NB304N on an upper floor.  
.
Try not to place the NB304N near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NB304N  
(2.4GHz).  
Avoid obstacles and interference  
Avoid placing your NB304N near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit  
wireless communication include:  
.
.
.
.
.
.
Refrigerators  
Washers and/or dryers  
Metal cabinets  
Large aquariums  
Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows  
If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking  
the signal’s path (between your devices and the NB304N).  
Cordless Phones  
If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:  
.
.
Try moving cordless phones away from your NB304N and your wireless-enabled computers.  
Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz band (check manufacturer’s  
information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NB304N.  
If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless  
network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NB304N to channel 11. See your phone’s user  
manual for detailed instructions.  
.
.
If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 5GHz cordless phone.  
Choose the “Quietest” Channel for your Wireless Network  
In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless  
networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Use the Site Survey capabilities found in the Wireless Utility of your  
wireless adapter to locate any other wireless networks that are available (see your wireless adapter’s user manual), and switch your  
Router and computers to a channel as far away from other networks as possible.  
Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from  
neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

NAT  
NAT stands for Network Address Translation, a process which converts private IP addresses of a computer on the internal private  
network to one or more public IP addresses for the Internet. NAT changes the packet headers to the new address and keeps track  
of each session; when packets come back from the Internet, it performs the reverse conversion to the IP address of the client  
machine.  
Virtual Servers  
Virtual Server allows you to direct incoming traffic from the Internet to a specific computer in your local network. A maximum 32  
entries can be configured.  
Click Add to create a Virtual Server.  
As an example, to setup a web server on a computer using 192.168.1.88 as its IP Address, select HTTP as Service and enter  
192.168.1.88 as the Server IP Address. Otherwise if the service you want to setup is not available from the Select a Service drop-  
down list, you can define your own Virtual Server.  
1. Enter the IP Address to forward the incoming connections to.  
2. Enter the External Port range for the incoming connections  
3. Select the appropriate protocol  
4. Enter the Internal Port Range  
Click Save/Apply to save the new Virtual Server configuration settings.

Port Triggering  
Some applications require that the specific ports in the router’s firewall be opened for access by the remote parties. For instance, an  
application uses port 25 for requests and port 113 for replies. If a computer on the LAN connects to port 25 on a remote server  
hosting this application, using Port Triggering on the router, incoming connections to port 113 (from the remote server) could be

IP Filtering  
The router supports IP Filtering which allows you to easily set up rules to control incoming and outgoing Internet traffic. The router  
provides two types of IP filtering: Outgoing IP Filtering and Incoming IP Filtering.  
Outgoing IP Filtering  
By default, the router allows all outgoing Internet traffic from the LAN but by setting up Outgoing IP Filtering rules, you can block  
some users and/or applications from accessing the Internet.  
To delete the rule, click Remove checkbox next to the selected rule and click Remove.  
To create a new outgoing IP filter, click Add. The Add IP Filter-Outgoing page will be displayed.

Quality of Service  
Quality of Service allows certain applications to gain priority over other applications in where a continuous flow of data packets is  
required. For example if someone is talking on a VoIP call and someone else starts downloading a large file the VoIP call traffic will  
gain priority over the download so they VoIP call will go uninterrupted.  
QoS gives you the capability to specify the level of priority to be provided for specific applications. By default, QoS is not enabled.  
After enabling QoS, select the appropriate default DSCP mark from the dropdown menu to apply to network traffic.

DNS  
DNS Server  
DNS (Domain Name System) is an Internet service that translates domain names into IP addresses. Because domain names are  
alphabetic, they are easier to remember. However, the Internet is based on IP addresses. Therefore, each time you type a domain  
name, a DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address.  
DNS servers. If one DNS server does not know how to translate a particular domain name, it asks another one and so on until the  
correct IP address is returned.  
If you select the Enable Automatic Assigned DNS checkbox in your WAN service connection, the router will receive and use the  
DNS Server assigned by your ISP. The DNS Server configuration page enables you to select which configured WAN Service DNS  
option will be used.  
To use your preferred DNS servers instead, enable the ‘Use the following Static DNS IP Address’ option and enter in the IP address  
of your Primary DNS server. Adding a Secondary DNS server is optional.
