About the Router
Your router offers an easy way of integrating your computer and other network devices
into a single network. Here are some of the benefits you can obtain from using the
router in your home or office:
Integrated Modem Feature Your router is an ideal solution for high speed Internet
connectivity. It is capable of handling the fastest data transfer speed from your
Internet provider and sharing this within your local network devices.
Top Notch Security Your router utilizes built-in firewall security to block service
attacks. For added flexibility, it can be modified to allow specific applications to
pass through while blocking intrusive threats at the same time.
Intuitive User Interface Applying changes on the router settings can be done
easily using a Web browser. The router uses a simplified user interface that allows
you to apply the configurations you want for the various features of the router.
Your router will serve as the central figure in establishing your local area network (LAN)
by using a combination of hardware and software. The hardware includes the cables and
Ethernet ports that create the path to connect your devices. The software part includes
the applications that manage the flow of information in these devices.
You can complete the basic installation and Internet connection within 8 minutes. Some
more time is needed if you intend to utilize more advanced functions but it can be worth
it. Advanced features like port forwarding will help you create your own web server to
store your Web site, Dynamic DNS allows you to access your network from the Internet,
and remote access enables you to configure your router settings from different locations.
Once installation is complete, it will be much more easier for you to enjoy voice
communication, high speed Internet, and data/audio/video sharing within your network.

Setup the Router
When installing the router, the common practice is to have the router, the main
computer, and phone jack in the same room. The room should also have enough
electrical outlets to match your needs.

Ethernet Connection
In terms of data transfer speed, the Ethernet provides the fastest mode of connection
between the router and the computer.
To connect through Ethernet:
1. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s ADSL port and then
plug the other end into the router’s DSL port
POTS Splitter
A phone line can carry phone call and Internet signals. When you enable the phone
line for high speed Internet, the connection produces high-pitched tones when using
the phone. Installing a Plain Old Telephone Service (POTS) splitter separates the two
signals and eliminates the noise.
To setup the telephone POTS Splitter:
1. Locate the phone jack in your house.
2. Insert the POTS Splitter into the phone jack.
3. Plug one end of the telephone cable from the POTS Splitter’s TEL port and then plug
the other end into the telephone.
2. Plug one end of the Ethernet cable from the router’s ETHERNET port and then plug
the other end into the Ethernet port in your computer.
3. Connect the power adapter from the router’s 9V DC port into the electrical outlet
and then press ON.

WAN
Wide Area Network refers to the configurations you perform to establish an Internet
connection. There are several types of WAN connections that require different settings.
New Connection
Your router supports the creation of new connections. If you have multiple virtual
connections, you may need to utilize the static routing capabilities of the modem to pass
data correctly.
WAN connection types include:
PPPoE Connection
PPPoA Connection
Static Connection
DHCP Connection
Bridge Connection
Page 27 of 92
User Manual
PPPoE Connection
PPPoE is a common WAN connection type used to connect to the Internet. PPP, or point-
to-point protocol, is a method of establishing a network connection/session between
network hosts. PPPoE is a protocol for encapsulating PPP frames in Ethernet frames and
is described in RFC 2516. PPPoE provides the ability to connect to a network of hosts over
a simple bridging access device to a remote access concentrator. With this model, each
router uses its own PPP stack. Access control, billing, and type of service control can all
be done on a per-user rather than per-site basis.
