Creating a HomePlug AV Network
HomePlug AV utilizes the existing electrical wiring in the house as a path to create a secured network of
computers and Ethernet devices. With a maximum data rate of up to 200 Mbps, HomePlug AV can reliably
handle high requirement applications like broadband Internet, high definition video streaming, and Voice
over IP. HomePlug AV converts digital signals to a complex analog signal that traverses along the electrical
wires. When receiving the analog signal, HomePlug AV converts the analog signal back to digital. To make
the signal secured, a 128-bit AES encryption is applied.
To create a HomePlug AV network, you need at least two HomePlug AV devices using random Private
Network Names. When you press Simple Connect on both devices, a common Private Network Name
will be automatically generated to enable them to communicate with each other.
When a HomePlug AV communicates with another device, the Powerline Activity LED color will give you
an idea about the connection rate: red means below 40 Mbps; amber means 40 to 105 Mbps; and green
means more than 105 Mbps.
Using Simple Connect Button
Simple Connect provides a more convenient way of creating your HomePlug AV network without the
need to open the HomePlug AV Utility software from a computer.
To create a HomePlug AV network using Simple Connect:
Plug your HomePlug AV adaptor near your Router where you can easily observe the LED behavior.
1. Upon connection, the LEDs will blink simultaneously and then the Power LED lights on steadily.
2. Press Simple Connect for two seconds on your Router. After you release the button, the Simple
Connect will blink. If the Simple Connect did not blink, press the button again for two
seconds.
Note:
Note: Do not press Simple Connect for more than 2 seconds.
Note:Note:
3. Press Simple Connect for two seconds on your HomePlug AV adaptor. After you release the button,
the Simple Connect will blink. If the Simple Connect did not blink, press button again for
two seconds.
Page 21 of 73
User Manual
4. Make sure to press Simple Connect on your HomePlug AV adaptor within two minutes after you
press Simple Connect on your Router. The LEDs on both devices will switch off and on twice to
signify that they are searching for another device to pair with.
5. To confirm if the connection was established, check the LEDs. The Power LEDs and the Powerline
Activity LEDs on your Router and HomePlug Adaptor are on. When the Powerline Activity LED on
either Router or HomePlug Adaptor is off, this means the pairing is not successful. In this case,
press the Simple Connect button for 10 seconds (or until all the LEDs turns Off and On) to reset to a
random Private Network Name, and redo the Pairing process.
6. Unplug the HomePlug AV adaptor and then connect it to your Ethernet-enabled device using an
Ethernet cable. After connecting the Ethernet cable, plug the HomePlug adaptor directly to a wall
outlet.
Note:
Note: HomePlug AVs work best when connected directly to a wall socket. Avoid plugging it to a power strip
Note:Note:
or power extension. Other electrical devices in the power strip produce electrical noise that may affect the
performance of the HomePlug.
Using HomePlug AV Utility
HomePlug AV Utility is a software application that allows you to configure HomePlug AV. To create a
HomePlug AV network using HomePlug AV Utility:
1. Install HomePlug AV Utility to your computer. Utility installer can be found in the Resource CD
included with your Router.
2. After installation, click the Start button, click Programs, click HomePlug AV, click HomePlug AV
Ethernet Adapter, and then click HomePlug AV Utility.

displays the result as Detected xDSL or Frame Relay Network. If you have an unusual network connection in
which you are actually connected via xDSL but for which you configure either "Static" or "DHCP" in the WAN
settings, setting this option to xDSL or Other Frame Relay Network ensures that the router will recognize
that it needs to shape traffic slightly differently in order to give the best performance. Choosing xDSL or
Other Frame Relay Network causes the measured uplink speed to be reported slightly lower than before on
such connections, but gives much better results.

DMZ
DMZ means "Demilitarized Zone." If an application has trouble working from behind the router, you can
expose one computer to the Internet and run the application on that computer.
When a LAN host is configured as a DMZ host, it becomes the destination for all incoming packets that do
not match some other incoming session or rule. If any other ingress rule is in place, that will be used
instead of sending packets to the DMZ host; so, an active session, virtual server, active port trigger, or port
forwarding rule will take priority over sending a packet to the DMZ host. (The DMZ policy resembles a
default port forwarding rule that forwards every port that is not specifically sent anywhere else.)

Static Routing
If the router is connected to more than one network, you may need to set up a static route between them.
A static route is a pre-defined pathway that network information must travel to reach a specific host or
network. You can use static routing to allow different IP domain users to access the Internet through the
router.
The Destination IP is the address of the remote LAN network or host to which you want to assign a static
route. Enter the IP address of the host for which you wish to create a static route here. For a standard Class
C IP domain, the network address is the first three fields of the New Destination IP, while the last field
should be 0.
The Subnet Mask identifies which portion of an IP address is the network portion, and which portion is the
host portion. For a full Class C Subnet, the Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. The Gateway IP address should be
the IP address of the gateway device that allows for contact between the Gateway and the remote
network or host.

Firewall Settings
The router provides a tight firewall by virtue of the way NAT works. Unless you configure the router to the
contrary, the NAT does not respond to unsolicited incoming requests on any port, thereby making your LAN
invisible to Internet cyberattackers. However, some network applications cannot run with a tight firewall.
Those applications need to selectively open ports in the firewall to function correctly. The options on this
page control several ways of opening the firewall to address the needs of specific types of applications.

Enable SPI
Enable SPI SPI ("stateful packet inspection" also known as "dynamic packet filtering") helps to prevent
Enable SPI Enable SPI
cyberattacks by tracking more state per session. It validates that the traffic passing through that session
conforms to the protocol. When the protocol is TCP, SPI checks that packet sequence numbers are within
the valid range for the session, discarding those packets that do not have valid sequence numbers.
Whether SPI is enabled or not, the router always tracks TCP connection states and ensures that each TCP
packet's flags are valid for the current state.
NAT Endpoint Filtering
The NAT Endpoint Filtering options control how the router's NAT manages incoming connection requests to
ports that are already being used.
Endpoint Independent
Endpoint Independent Once a LAN-side application has created a connection through a specific port, the
Endpoint Independent Endpoint Independent
NAT will forward any incoming connection requests with the same port to the LAN-side application
regardless of their origin. This is the least restrictive option, giving the best connectivity and allowing some
applications (P2P applications in particular) to behave almost as if they are directly connected to the
Internet.
Address Rest
Address Restricted
Address RestAddress Rest
come from the same IP address with which a connection was established. This allows the remote
application to send data back through a port different from the one used when the outgoing session was
created.
Port And Address Restricted
Port And Address Restricted The NAT does not forward any incoming connection requests with the same
Port And Address Restricted Port And Address Restricted
port address as an already establish connection.
Note that some of these options can interact with other port restrictions. Endpoint Independent Filtering
takes priority over inbound filters or schedules, so it is possible for an incoming session request related to
an outgoing session to enter through a port in spite of an active inbound filter on that port. However,
packets will be rejected as expected when sent to blocked ports (whether blocked by schedule or by
inbound filter) for which there are no active sessions. Port and Address Restricted Filtering ensures that
inbound filters and schedules work precisely, but prevents some level of connectivity, and therefore might
require the use of port triggers, virtual servers, or port forwarding to open the ports needed by the
application. Address Restricted Filtering gives a compromise position, which avoids problems when
communicating with certain other types of NAT router (symmetric NATs in particular) but leaves inbound
filters and scheduled access working as expected.

NAT Port Preservation
NAT Port preservation (on by default) tries to ensure that, when a LAN host makes an Internet connection,
the same LAN port is also used as the Internet visible port. This ensures best compatibility for internet
communications.
Under some circumstances it may be desirable to turn off this feature.
Anti-Spoof checking
Enabling this option can provide protection from certain kinds of "spoofing" attacks.
Non-UDP/TCP/ICMP LAN Sessions
When a LAN application that uses a protocol other than UDP, TCP, or ICMP initiates a session to the Internet,
the router's NAT can track such a session, even though it does not recognize the protocol. This feature is
useful because it enables certain applications (most importantly a single VPN connection to a remote host)
without the need for an ALG.
Note that this feature does not apply to the DMZ host (if one is enabled). The DMZ host always handles
these kinds of sessions.
Application Level Gateway (ALG) Configuration
Here you can enable or disable ALGs. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP
payload to make them work with network address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides special handling
for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs for common applications are enabled by default.
PPTP
PPTP
PPTP PPTP
Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate networks using PPTP protocol. When the
PPTP ALG is enabled, LAN computers can establish PPTP VPN connections either with the same or with
different VPN servers. When the PPTP ALG is disabled, the router allows VPN operation in a restricted way -
- LAN computers are typically able to establish VPN tunnels to different VPN Internet servers but not to the
same server. The advantage of disabling the PPTP ALG is to increase VPN performance.
IPSec (VPN)
IPSec (VPN)
IPSec (VPN) IPSec (VPN)
Allows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate networks using IPSec. Some VPN clients support
traversal of IPSec through NAT. This option may interfere with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are

Check with the system adminstrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT
traversal.

Wireless
The wireless section is used to configure the advanced wireless settings for your router. Note that changes
made in this section may also need to be duplicated on wireless clients that you want to connect to your
wireless network.
Transmit Power
Transmit Power Normally the wireless transmitter operates at 100% power. In some circumstances,
Transmit Power Transmit Power
however, there might be a need to isolate specific frequencies to a smaller area. By reducing the power of
the radio, you can prevent transmissions from reaching beyond your corporate/home office or designated
wireless area.
Beacon Period
Beacon Period Beacons are packets sent by a wireless router to synchronize wireless devices. Specify a
Beacon PeriodBeacon Period
Beacon Period value between 20 and 1000. The default value is set to 100 milliseconds.
RTS Threshold
RTS Threshold When an excessive number of wireless packet collisions are occurring, wireless performance

can be improved by using the RTS/CTS (Request to Send/Clear to Send) handshake protocol. The wireless
transmitter will begin to send RTS frames (and wait for CTS) when data frame size in bytes is greater than
the RTS Threshold. This setting should remain at its default value of 2346 bytes.
Fragmentation Threshold
Fragmentation Threshold Wireless frames can be divided into smaller units (fragments) to improve

when frame size in bytes is greater than the Fragmentation Threshold. This setting should remain at its
default value of 2346 bytes. Setting the Fragmentation value too low may result in poor performance.
DTIM Interval
DTIM Interval A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and

multicast messages. When the wireless router has buffered broadcast or multicast messages for associated
clients, it sends the next DTIM with a DTIM Interval value. Wireless clients detect the beacons and awaken
to receive the broadcast and multicast messages. The default value is 1. Valid settings are between 1 and
255.
802.11d Enable
802.11d Enable Enables 802.11d operation. 802.11d is a wireless specification for operation in additional

(channelization, hopping patterns, new values for current MIB attributes, and other requirements to extend
the operation of 802.11 WLANs to new regulatory domains (countries). The current 802.11 standard defines
operation in only a few regulatory domains (countries). This supplement adds the requirements and
definitions necessary to allow 802.11 WLAN equipment to operate in markets not served by the current
standard. Enable this option if you are operating in one of these "additional regulatory domains".
