INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™
4-Port Broadband Router, Model 524957.
Combining a router, rewall and four-port Fast Ethernet switch, this
handy device lets you experience fast speeds as you surf the Web,
download music or photos, and play online games. A DHCP server
that automatically assigns IP addresses to users on the LAN — plus
UPnP that supports gaming — makes this the perfect router for the
home network.
Keeping intruders out of your network can be a challenge, but this
feature-rich router is designed to make that task easier. It includes a
true rewall that secures your network against hackers. With Network
Address Translation (NAT) to shield your networked devices from
intruders plus content control using URL and MAC ltering, you can
rest assured that you have taken the necessary precautions to protect
the data on your network.
The easy-to-follow instructions in this user manual help make setup
and operation quick and simple, so you’ll also soon be enjoying the
benets of these additional features:
• Integrated 10/100 Mbps LAN switch with Auto MDI/MDI-X support
• Supports virtual server and DMZ (demilitarized zone)
• Supports DDNS (dynamic DNS)
• Supports VPN pass-through (PPTP, L2TP)
• QoS (Quality of Service) bandwidth management

2 NETWORK SETTINGS
To congure the router using a Web browser-based conguration utility,
at least one properly congured computer needs to be connected to
the router via the Ethernet. This 4-Port Broadband Router is congured
with the default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and its DHCP server is enabled by default.
At this point, you can proceed to Section 2.3: Logging In to the Web
Browser. If you encounter problems from there, return here and follow
the steps in Sections 2.1: IP Address Setup and 2.2: Conrming the
Connection.
