2. Connect all your computers and network devices (network-enabled components
like game consoles, network media players, network storage units or LAN
switches) to the LAN ports (1-4) of the router.
3. Connect the A/C power adapter to the wall socket, then connect it to the power
jack of the router.
4. Check all LEDs on the front panel. The PWR LED should be on, and the WAN
and LAN LEDs should be on if the computer or network device connected to the
corresponding router port(s) is powered on and correctly connected.
2.2 Obtaining an IP Address
Before you can connect to the router and start conguration procedures, your
computer must be able to obtain an IP address automatically (that is, to use a
dynamic IP address). This is the default setup
for any standard Windows computer, and it
normally is not required to make any changes.
1. With your computer connected to a LAN
port on the router, activate the network
connection. Start your Web browser and
open http://192.168.2.1 to display a login
window (right).
2. Enter “admin” as the username and “1234” as
the password, then click “OK.”

NOTE: If the IP address of the gateway is not displayed, or if the address begins
with 169, recheck the network connection between your computer and the router,
and recheck each step of the network setup procedure.
4. Once your computer has obtained an IP address from the router, open your Web
browser and enter the IP address of the router into the address bar. When the
login window displays (see 2.2 above), enter the username (“admin”) and the
password (“1234”). Press “OK” to display the router’s Web management interface.
NOTE: If you can’t see the Web management interface and you’re being prompted
to enter the username and password again, it means you didn’t enter the correct
username and password. Retype the username and password. If you’re certain
that the username and password are correct, refer to 4-2 Troubleshooting to
perform a factory reset to set the password back to the default value.

Internet access.
.
The initial Quick Setup screen presents time settings.
Set Time Zone — Use the drop-down menu to select your time zone.
Time Server Address — Enter the IP address/hostname of the time server. This
isn’t normally required, but if the default time server (NTP) should go ofine, you
can obtain a new NTP server from the list at http://www.ntp.org.
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
13
Daylight Saving — If your locale uses Daylight Saving, activate “Enable Function”
and select the duration using the drop-down menus.
Click “Next” to continue to the next screen of the Quick Setup procedure, where
you select the broadband (Internet connection) type you use.
On all screens, click “Apply” (if such button appears at the bottom) to submit any

Click “Cancel” to undo any changes you’ve made on that screen. Click “Next” or
“OK” to proceed to the next screen.
There are six types of Internet connections available, as explained below: Cable
Modem, Fixed IP xDSL, PPPoE xDSL, PPTP xDSL, L2TP xDSL and Telstra
BigPond. Cable Modem and PPPoE xDSL are the most common, but if you’re not
sure which type of service you have, simply contact your Internet service provider
(ISP) to nd out. You won’t be able to connect to the Internet if you choose the
wrong type during the router setup. NOTE: DSL Internet service providers
normally operate using the PPPoE protocol; thus, PPPoE xDSL should be the
broadband type. However, in recent years more DSL ISPs provide customers with
DSL modems that handle the PPPoE portion of Internet access automatically. In
such cases, you need to select Cable Modem as your broadband type even if you
have a DSL service.
2.3.1 Setup Procedure for Cable Modem (Dynamic IP)
Host Name — Input the host name of your computer. This is optional, and is only
required if your service provider asks you to do so.
14
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
MAC address — Enter the MAC address of your computer here if your service
provider only permits a computer with a certain MAC address to access the
Internet. If you’re using a computer used to connect to the Internet via cable
modem, you can simply click “Clone Mac address” to ll in the MAC address
eld with the MAC address of your computer.
2.3.2 Setup Procedure for Fixed IP xDSL (Static IP)
IP address — Enter the IP address assigned by your ISP.
Subnet Mask — Enter the subnet mask assigned by your ISP.
DNS address — Enter the IP address of the DNS server provided by your ISP.
Service Provider Gateway Address — Enter the gateway IP address provided by
your ISP.
NOTE: You can choose this Internet connection method if your service provider
assigns a xed IP address (also know as a static address) to you, and doesn’t use
DHCP or PPPoE protocol. Contact your service provider for further information.
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
15
2.3.3 Setup Procedure for PPPoE xDSL
User Name — Enter the username assigned by your ISP.
Password — Enter the password assigned by your ISP.
Service Name — Provide a name for this Internet service. (optional)
MTU — Enter the MTU value of your network connection. NOTE: Use the default
value unless your ISP species otherwise.
Connection Type — Select one of the three connection types in the drop-down
menu:
• “Continuous” keeps the Internet connection alive and does not disconnect.
This is the preferred choice for always-on / at-rate Internet services.
• “Connect on Demand” only connects to the Internet when there’s a connect
attempt. This is the preferred choice for all users who have paid-per-minute
or per-transferred-data Internet service.
• “Manual” only connects to the Internet when “Connect” is selected, and
disconnects when “Disconnect” is selected.
Idle Time Out — Specify the time to shut down the Internet connection after no
Internet activity is detected. This option is only available when the connection
type is Connect on Demand.
2.3.4 Setup Procedure for PPTP xDSL
PPTP xDSL requires two groups of settings: the WAN interface settings (to set up
IP address) and PPTP settings (PPTP username and password).
In the WAN Interface Settings panel, select how you obtain an IP address from
your service provider: “Obtain an IP address automatically” or “Use the following
IP address” (i.e., a static IP address). The WAN interface settings must be
16

correctly entered; otherwise, the Internet connection will fail even if the PPTP
settings are correct. Contact your ISP if you don’t know how you should ll in
these elds.
The PPTP Settings panel presents these options:
User Name — Enter the username assigned by your ISP.
Password — Enter the password provided by your ISP.
PPTP Gateway — Enter the IP address of PPTP gateway assigned by your ISP.
Connection ID — Enter the connection ID. (optional)
MTU — Enter the MTU value of your network connection. NOTE: Use the default
value unless your ISP species otherwise.
Connection Type — Select one of the three connection types in the drop-down
menu (see PPPoE above):
Idle Time Out — Specify the time to shut down the Internet connection after no
Internet activity is detected. This option is only available when the connection
type is Connect on Demand.
NOTE: Enable BEZEQ-ISRAEL only if you’re using that network provider.
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
17
2.3.5 Setup Procedure for L2TP xDSL
L2TP is another popular connection method for xDSL and other Internet connection
types, and all required setting items are the same as the PPTP connection (see
section 2.3.4 above).
2.3.6 Setup Procedure for Telstra BigPond
This procedure is only for the Telstra BigPond network service in Australia.
User Name — Enter the username assigned by Telstra.
Password — Enter the password assigned by Telstra.

management interface. The router is now running with the new settings, and, if all
information entered is correct, you can now access the Internet.
18
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
NOTE TO DSL USERS
While PPPoE is the most common way to connect to DSL Internet service, it still
may be necessary to enable “Cable Modem” in the Broadband settings. Below are
examples for using Cable Modem instead of xDSL PPPoE, even if your Internet
service is a DSL service.
• Your ISP has given you a so-called “modem-router” instead of a simple modem.
• Your ISP has not given you a username and password for PPPoE login (implying
that it is not required).
• When your computer is connected directly to the modem, the computer obtains
an IP address which is in the private IP network range (192.168.xxx.yyy, 10.xxx.yyy,
172.16.xxx.yyy).
• You can connect to the Internet with your computer connected directly to the
modem without using a dialer program asking for a username and password.
• If attempts to utilize PPPoE xDSL fail repeatedly, you should activate “Cable
Modem” as a troubleshooting step.
2.4 General Setup
This section explains how to change the time zone, password and remote

management settings. Start your Web browser and log on to the router’s Web
management interface by opening http://192.168.2.1, then click the “General Setup”
button on the left.
2.4.1 Time Zone and Time Auto-Synchronization
Click the “System” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click
“Time Zone.” You’ll be prompted to select a time zone from the “Set time zone”
drop-down menu and enter the IP address or host name of the time server. If you
want to enable the Daylight Saving setting, check the “Enable Function” box and
set the duration of Daylight Saving.
Click “Apply” and this
message will display.
Click “Continue” to save
the settings and make
additional changes;
click “Apply” to save the
settings and restart the router so the settings will take effect after it reboots.
2.4.2 Changing the Management Password
The default password of this router is 1234, and it’s displayed on the login prompt
when accessed from the Web browser. There’s a security risk if you don’t change
the default password, since everyone can see it. This is very important when you
have the wireless function enabled. To change the password, click the “System”
menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click “Password
Settings.”
Current Password — Enter the current password (for example, 1234).
New Password — Enter the new password.
Conrm Password — Enter the new password again.
20
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
If the passwords entered in the “New
Password” and “Conrmed Password”
elds aren’t the same, you’ll see the
message at right. Re-enter the new
password.
If you see the error message at right, it
means the content in the “Current Password”
eld is wrong. Click “OK” to go back to the
previous menu, and try entering the current password again. If the current and
new passwords are correctly entered, click “Apply” and you’ll be prompted to log in
again. Enter the new password and enter “admin” for the username.
2.4.3 Remote Management
This router by default does not allow management access from the Internet to
prevent possible security risks (especially when you have dened a weak password
or didn’t change the default password). However, you can still manage this router
from a specic IP address by enabling the Remote Management function.
Click the “System” menu on the left of Web management interface, then click
“Remote Management.” The screen below will display on your Web browser.
Host Address — Enter the IP address of the remote host you want to initiate
management access..
Port — You can dene the port number through which this router should expect an
incoming request. If you’re providing a Web service (default port number is 80),
you should try to use another port number. You can use the default port setting
(8080) or something like 32245 or 1429 (any integer between 1 and 65534)..
Enabled — Select the eld to start the conguration.
Click “Apply,” then either click “Continue” to save the settings and make additional
changes or click “Apply” again to save the settings and restart the router so the
settings will take effect after it reboots.
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
21
NOTE: To manage this router from another computer on the Internet, you need to
input the IP address and port number of this router. If your Internet service provider
assigns you a static IP address, it will not be a problem; but if the IP address your
service provider assigns will vary every time you establish an Internet connection,
this will be a problem. Either ask your ISP to give you a static IP address, or use
a dynamic DNS service like DDNS. (See section 2.5.8 DDNS Client for details.)
NOTE: The default por t number the Web browser will use is 80. If the “Port” setting
on this page is not 80, you need to assign the port number in the address bar of
the Web browser manually. For example, if the IP address of this router is 1.2.3.4,
and the port number you set is 8888, you need to enter http://1.2.3.4:8888 in the
address bar of the Web browser.
2.5 Setting Up an Internet Connection (WAN Setup)
The Internet connection setup can be done by using the Quick Setup menu
described in section 2-3. However, you can set the WAN connections up by using
the WAN conguration menu. You can also program advanced functions like DDNS
(Dynamic DNS) here.
Click the “WAN” menu on the left of the Web management interface, then select
an Internet connection method based on the type of connection you’re using. You
can either click the connection method in the left-side menu or select it from the
main panel in the center (which requires that you then click “More Conguration”
to continue).
22
SYSTEM & NETWORK SETUP
2.5.1 Setup Procedure for Dynamic IP
Host Name — Enter the host name of your computer. (This is optional and is only
required if your service provider asks you to do so.)
MAC Address — Enter the MAC address of your computer if your service provider
only permits a computer with a certain MAC address to access the Internet. If
you’re using the computer to connect to the Internet via cable modem, you can
simply click “Clone MAC” to ll the “MAC Address” eld with the MAC address
of your computer.
2.5.2 Setup Procedure for Static IP
IP Address — Enter the IP address assigned by your service provider.
Subnet Mask — Enter the subnet mask assigned by your service provider.
Default Gateway — Enter the IP address of the gateway server assigned by your
service provider.
