Product Overview

Supported Features

The HG658 V2 Home Gateway (HG658 V2 for short) is a high-speed wireless router designed for home
and small office use. This chapter describes the features supported by the HG658 V2.
Digital subscriber line (DSL) provides rugged stability, and with the WPS button, zero configuration
is required for connections to multiple devices.
Network range allows any device in a home to be connected with a transmission rate of up to
300Mbps.
A powerful firewall is provided with a flexible network configuration and quality of service (QoS)
strategy, enabling different home devices to enjoy high-speed and high-quality broadband services.

High-Bandwidth DSL Connectivity

The HG658 V2 incorporates a high-performance ADSL2+/VDSL processor and provides high-speed
Internet access and abundant services to be delivered through the digital subscriber line (DSL).

Routing

The HG658 V2 supports routing. It can obtain an IP address through PPP dial-up or Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP), which provides simultaneous access for multiple devices.

WLAN

The HG658 V2 supports multiple WLAN protocols, including 802.11b/g/n (2.4 GHz). Adopting
802.11n multiple-input multiple-output antennas (MIMO) technology, the HG658 V2 delivers a
wireless transmission rate of up to 300Mbps with its dual antennas. In addition, the HG658 V2
supports multiple wireless encryption modes to provide a secure, reliable, and high-speed WLAN.

Bandwidth Control

The HG658 V2 supports bandwidth control and allocates bandwidth to different computers within
your home based on Internet access requirements. Your family can then access the Internet, play
online games, and watch videos without interfering with each other.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup

You can set up wireless connections between the HG658 V2 and Wi-Fi enabled devices by pressing
the Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button.

Firewall

The powerful built-in firewall effectively protects against viruses and malicious attacks.

IP Telephony

Introduction to IP Telephony

IP telephony, namely voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP), is also called broadband telephony or
Internet telephony. It utilizes Internet Protocol (IP) network technologies to implement voice
communication. During a VoIP call, voice signals are digitized, encoded, packetized, and transmitted
as packets over a network. On the receiving side, the packets are then decoded, and digital signals
are converted to reproduce the original voice streams, which can be heard by the called party.
Different from traditional PSTN calls, VoIP calls are transported over IP networks, meaning voice
streams are transmitted over users' existing broadband Internet. This makes full use of broadband
resources.

Configuring VoIP

The HG658 V2 supports VoIP. You can place VoIP calls after your phone is connected to the
port on the HG658 V2.
To use the HG658 V2 to place VoIP calls, ask your network service provider to activate VoIP services
for you. By default, your network service provider will have all related parameters, such as the VoIP
account and address, set for you. You will not need to configure any settings to place VoIP calls.
To configure voice services, do as follows:
1.
Configure a VoIP provider.
a.
Choose
Telephony
b.
Click

c.
Enter the VoIP provider name provided by the service provider.

Placing a VoIP Call

Once your network service provider has activated VoIP services for you, you will be assigned a VoIP
account, which is also your VoIP call number.
Before placing a VoIP call, ensure that the HG658 V2 has connected to the network. When the call is
established, your VoIP call number is displayed on the called party's phone.
For VoIP call tariffs, contact your network service provider.
