Chapter 4 - Setting Up the ADSL Router

This section will guide you through your ADSL Router’s configuration. The ADSL Router is shipped with a standard PPP configuration.
The basic tabs consist of features which are catered for basic users.

4.1 Logging into your ADSL Router

To configure your ADSL Router, open your web browser. You may get an error message at this point; this is normal. Type the default IP address (192.168.1.1) or login.router on the web address bar.
NOTE: Before setting up your ADSL Router, make sure you have followed the
easy start guide. You should have your computers configured for DHCP mode and have proxies disabled on your browser. Upon accessing the ADSL Router, if the browser still displays a login redirection screen, you should check your browser's setting and ensure that the JavaScript support is enabled. If the screen shown in Figure 1-4 is not attainable, you must delete your temporary Internet files to clear the web cache.
Figure 1-4 : Setup Page
Page 16 of 87
ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide
Upon entering the default IP address or the short-cut name (login.router), if the user is logging for the first time, the user will be brought to the “Internet Login Account Setting” page. See Figure 1-5. This page is meant for basic users whom only require easy connectivity to the Internet without worrying about any other advance configuration setting. If you are in doubt for what content to enter for the Protocol, VPI and VCI, please contact your Service Provider for assistance.
Figure 1-5 : Internet Login Account Setting
For those who have their routers configured, you will be directed to the “Basic Home” page. See Figure 1-6.
Figure 1-6 : Basic Home

ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide

4.2 Quick Start

If you have already configured your router and wish to change your current configuration, click on the ‘Quick Start’ link. Figure 1-7 will appear.
Figure 1-7 : Quick Start Page

4.3 LAN / DHCP Configuration

On one side of your ADSL Router, you have your own Local Area network (LAN) connections. This is where you plug in your local computers to the ADSL Router. The ADSL Router is normally configured to automatically provide all the PC's on your network with Internet addresses.
To enable or disable DHCP, click Basic, and then select LAN Configuration. The Start IP Address is where the DHCP server starts issuing IP addresses. This value must be greater than the ADSL Router IP address value. For example if the ADSL Router IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default) than the starting IP address must be 192.168.1. 2 (or higher).
The End IP Address is where the DHCP server stops issuing IP addresses. The ending address cannot exceed a subnet limit of 254. Hence the max value for our default gateway is
192.168.1.254. If the DHCP server runs out of DHCP addresses, users will not get access to network resources. If this happens you can increase the Ending IP address (to the limit of 255) or reduce the lease time.
The Lease Time is the amount of time a network user will be allowed connection to the ADSL Router with their current dynamic IP address. The amount of time is in units of minutes; the default value is 3600 minutes (60 hours).
Note: If you change the start or end values, make sure the values are still within the same subnet as the gateways IP address. In other words, if the gateways IP address is 192.168.1.1 (default) and you change the DHCP start/end IP addresses to be 192.128.1.2/192.128.1.100, you will not be able to communicate to the ADSL Router if your PC has DHCP enabled.
Page 18 of 87
ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide
In addition to the DHCP server feature, the ADSL Router supports the DHCP relay function. When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP server, it assigns the IP addresses to the LAN clients. When the ADSL Router is configured as DHCP relay, it is responsible for forwarding the requests and responses negotiating between the DHCP clients and the server.
By turning off the DHCP server and relay the network administrator must carefully configure the IP address, Subnet Mask and DNS settings of every computer on your network. Do not assign the same IP address to more than one computer and your ADSL Router must be on the same subnet as all the other computers. See Figure 1-8.
Figure 1-8 : LAN / DHCP Configuration

ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide

4.4 Diagnostic Test

Diagnostic Test is used for investigating whether the ADSL Router is properly connected to the WAN Network. See Figure 1-9. This test may take a few seconds to complete. To perform the test, select your connection from the list and press the Test button. Before running this test, make sure you have a valid DSL link.
Figure 1-9 : Diagnostics Test Screen
After running the Diagnostic Test, the screen will indicate that the portion which pass or fail the test. See Figure 1-10. Please click on the Help links, which will provide remedy to the problem.

ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide

4.4.1 Ping Test

Once you have your ADSL Router configured, ensure you can ping the network. Type the target address that you want to ping. If your PC is connected to the ADSL Router via the default DHCP configuration, you should be able to ping the network address 192.168.1.1. See Figure 1-11. If your ISP has provided their server address, try to ping the address. If the pings for both the WAN and the LAN sides are complete and you have the proper protocols configured, you should be able to surf the Internet. By default when you select ping test, the ADSL Router will ping itself 3 times. The ADSL Router passed the Ping test; this basically means that the TCP/IP protocol is up and running. If the first Ping test does not pass, the TCP/IP protocol is not loaded for some reason; you should restart the ADSL Router.
Figure 1-11 : Ping Test Screen

4.4.2 Modem Test

This test can be used to check whether your Modem is properly connected to the Network. Select your connection from the list and press the ‘Test’ button. See Figure 1-12.
Figure 1-12 : Modem Test

4.5 Advanced

This mode is catered for advance users, a brief explanation of the links are listed as shown below. See Figure 1-13.
Figure 1-13 : Advanced Screen

4.5.1 WAN Connection

The Wide Area Network (WAN) connection exists on the other side of the ADSL Router, also referred to as a broadband connection. This WAN connection is different for every WAN supplier. Most of the configuration you will perform will be for WAN connection.
Page 22 of 87
ADSL2+ 4-Port Ethernet USB Wireless-G Router - User Guide

4.5.2 New Connection

A new connection is a virtual connection. Your ADSL Router can support up to 8 different (unique) virtual connections. If you have multiple different virtual connections, you may need to utilize the static and dynamic routing capabilities of the modem to pass data correctly.

4.5.6 Quickstart

PPPoE is also known as RFC 2516. It is a method of encapsulating PPP packets over Ethernet. PPP or Point-to-Point protocol is a method of establishing a network connection/session between network hosts. It usually provides a mechanism of authenticating users.
To configure the gateway for PPPoE, click on Advanced. Under WAN, select New Connection. The default PPPoE connection setup is displayed. At the Type field select PPPoE and the PPPoE connection setup page is displayed. Give your PPPoE connection a unique name; the name must not have spaces and cannot begin with numbers. In this case the unique name is called quickstart. Select the encapsulation type (LLC or VC); if you are not sure just use the default mode. Select the VPI and VCI settings; your DSL service provider or your ISP will supply these. In this case the DSL service provider is using 0, 100. Also select the quality of service (QoS); leave the default value if you are unsure or the ISP did not provide this information. See Figure 1-18.
Following is a description of the different options:
1. Username: The username for the PPPoE access; this is provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP.
2. Password: The password for the PPPoE access; this is provided by your DSL service
provider or your ISP.
3. On-Demand: Enables on-demand mode. The connection will disconnect if no activity is
detected after the specified idle timeout value.
4. Idle Timeout: Specifies that PPPoE connection should disconnect if the link has no activity
detected for n seconds. This field is used in conjunction with the On-Demand feature. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
5. Keep Alive: When on-demand option is not enable, this value specifies the time to wait
without being connected to your provider before terminating the connection. To ensure that the link is always active, enter a 0 in this field.
6. Enforce MTU: Check this box if you experience problems accessing the Internet over a
PPPoE connection. This feature will force all TCP traffic to conform with PPP MTU by changing TCP Maximum Segment Size to PPP MTU.
