users, the Vigor2900 series provides exceptional bandwidth for Internet access.
To secure your network, the Vigor2900 series provides an advanced firewall with advanced
features, such as NAT with multi VPN pass-through, Stateful Packet Inspection (SPI) to offer
network reliability by detecting and prohibiting malicious penetrating packets,
user-configurable web filtering for parental control against network abuse etc.
Vigor2900 series is embedded with an 802.11g compliant wireless module which provides
wireless LAN access with data rate as much as (up to 54Mbps for Vigor2900G/VG/VGi only).
As for data privacy of wireless network, the Vigor2900 series can encode all transmissions
data with standard WEP and industrial strength WPA2 (IEEE 802.11i) encryption. Additional
features include Wireless Client List and MAC Address Control for maintaining control over
user’s authorization in your network, and Hidden SSID for being invisible to outside intruders
scanning.

For use the router properly, it is necessary for you to change the password of web
configuration for security and adjust primary basic settings.
This chapter explains how to setup a password for an administrator and how to adjust basic
settings for accessing Internet successfully. Be aware that only the administrator can change
the router configuration.
22..11 CChhaannggiinngg PPaasssswwoorrdd
For security reasons, it is strongly recommend that you set the administrator password for the
router. During the first setup, the router requires no password. If no password is configured,
the router will be open to any user in the LAN or the Internet, and users can log into the router
unlimitedly and change the settings.
To change the password for this device, you have to access into the web browse with default
password first.
1. Make sure your computer connects to the router correctly.
Notice: You may either simply set up your computer to get IP dynamically
from the router or set up the IP address of the computer to be the same
subnet as the default IP address of Vigor router 192.168.1.1. For the
detailed information, please refer to the later section - Trouble Shooting of
this guide.

2. Open a web browser on your PC and type http://192.168.1.1. A pop-up window will
open to ask for username and password. Please type default values (both username and
password are Null) on the window for the first time accessing and click OK for next
screen.
3. Now, the Main Screen will pop up.

5. Enter the login password (the default is blank) on the field of Old Password. Type a new
one in the field of New Password and retype it on the field of Retype New Password.
Then click OK to continue.
6. Now, the password has been changed. Next time, use the new password to access the

In the Quick Start Wizard, you can configure the router to access the Internet with different
protocol/modes such as PPPoE, PPTP, L2TP, Static IP or DHCP. The router supports the
DSL WAN interface for Internet access.
22..22..22 PPPPPPooEE
14
PPPoE stands for Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet.It relies on two widely accepted
standards: PPP and Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the Internet with a
common broadband medium, such as a single DSL line, wireless device or cable modem.All
the users over the Ethernet can share a common connection. And the PPPoA stands for
Point-to-Point Protocol over ATM. PPPoA uses the PPP dial-up protocol with ATM as the
transport.
Vigor2900 Series User’s Guide
PPPoE is used for most of DSL modem users. All local users can share one PPPoE connection
for accessing the Internet. Your service provider will provide you information about user name,
password, and authentication mode.
If your ISP provides you the PPPoE connection, please select PPPoE for this router. The

The most generic function of Vigor router is NAT. It creates a private subnet of your own. As
mentioned previously, the router will talk to other public hosts on the Internet by using public
IP address and talking to local hosts by using its private IP address. What NAT does is to
translate the packets from public IP address to private IP address to forward the right packets
to the right host and vice versa. Besides, Vigor router has a built-in DHCP server that assigns
private IP address to each local host. See the following diagram for a briefly understanding.
22
In some special case, you may have a public IP subnet from your ISP such as
220.135.240.0/24. This means that you can set up a public subnet or call second subnet that
each host is equipped with a public IP address. As a part of the public subnet, the Vigor router
Vigor2900 Series User’s Guide
will serve for IP routing to help hosts in the public subnet to communicate with other public
hosts or servers outside. Therefore, the router should be set as the gateway for public hosts.
Vigor router will exchange routing information with neighboring routers using the RIP to
accomplish IP routing. This allows users to change the information of the router such as IP
address and the routers will automatically inform for each other.
WWhhaatt iiss SSttaattiicc RRoouuttee
When you have several subnets in your LAN, sometimes a more effective and quicker way for
connection is the Static routes function rather than other method. You may simply set rules to
forward data from one specified subnet to another specified subnet without the presence of
RIP.
