The Cable/DSL 4-Port Router

Features

Cable/DSL 4-Port Router

Simply put, a router is a network device that connects two networks together.

In this instance, the Router connects your Local Area Network (LAN), or the
group of PCs in your home or office, to the Wide Area Network (WAN),
which is the Internet. The Router processes and regulates the data that travels
between these two networks.

Think of the Router as a network device with two sides: the f irst side interacts
with your private Local Area Network (LAN) of PCs. The other, public side
interacts with the Internet, or the Wide Area Network (WAN), outside of your
home or office.

The Router’s f irewall protects your network of PCs so users on the public,
Internet side cannot “see” your PCs. This is how your network remains priv ate.
The Router protects your network by inspecting every data packet coming in
through the Internet (or WAN) port before delivery to the final destination on
the LAN port. The Router inspects Internet port services like the web server,
ftp server, or other Internet applications, and, if allowed, it will forward the
packet to the appropriate PC on the LAN side.

Remember that the Router’s ports connect to two sides. Your 10/100 LAN
port(s) connect to the LAN, and the Internet (or WAN) por t connects to the
WAN. The LAN port(s) transmit data at 10 or 100 Mbps, whereas the broad­band or WAN port, or Internet port, transmits data at 10 or 100 Mbps.

What’s an IP Address?

IP stands for Inter net Protocol. Every device on an IP-based network, including
PCs, print servers, and routers, requires an IP address to identify its “location,”
or address, on the network. This applies to both the WAN and LAN connections.
There are two ways of assigning an IP address to your network de vices. You can
assign static IP addresses or use the Router to assign IP addresses dynamically.

Static IP Addresses

A static IP address is a f ixed IP address that you assign manually to a PC or
other device on the network. Since a static IP address remains valid until you
disable it, static IP addressing ensures that the device assigned it will always
have that same IP address until you change it. Static IP addresses are com­monly used with network devices such as server PCs or print servers.

IP Addresses

Cable/DSL 4-Port Router

By default, the Router can act as a DHCP server for your LAN. If you already
have a DHCP server running on your network, you must disable one of the two
DHCP servers. If you run more than one DHCP server on your network, you
will experience network errors, such as conflicting IP addresses. To disable
DHCP on the Router, see the DHCP section in “Chapter 6: The Router’s Web­based Utility.”

This user guide covers the basic steps for setting up a network with the Router.
After going through “Chapter 2: Getting to Know the Cable/DSL 4-Port
Router,” most users will only need to use the following chapters:

• Chapter 3: Connect the Router

This chapter instructs you on how to connect a cable or DSL modem to the
Router and connect your PC(s) to the Router.

• Chapter 4: Configure the PCs

This chapter instructs you on how to configure your PC(s) for a DHCP con­nection, if the network settings are not already set to DHCP.

• Chapter 5: Configure the Router

This chapter explains how to configure the Router using your web browser
and the Router’s web-based utility. You will conf igure the Router using the
settings provided by your ISP.

When you’re finished with the basic steps, then you are ready to connect to the
Internet. After the PC(s) can access the Internet through the Router, you can
alter the Router’s settings fur ther; for example, you can adjust them to enable
online gaming.

Note: Even if you assign a static IP address to a PC, other PCs can
still use DHCP’s dynamic IP addressing, as long as the static IP
address is not within the DHCP range of the LAN IP Addresses.

If the dynamic IP addressing fails to provide a dynamic IP address,
refer to “Appendix A: Troubleshooting.”

If you use the Router to share your cable or DSL Internet connection, contact
your ISP to find out if they have assigned a static IP address to your account.
If so, you will need that static IP address when configuring the Router. You can
get that information from your ISP.

Dynamic IP Addresses

A dynamic IP address is automatically assigned to a device on the network,
such as PCs and print servers. These IP addresses are called “dynamic”
because they are only temporarily assigned to the PC or device. After a certain
time period, they expire and may change. If a PC logs onto the network (or the
Internet) and its dynamic IP address has expired, the DHCP server will assign
it a new dynamic IP address.

For DSL users, many ISPs may require you to log on with a user name and
password to gain access to the Internet. This is a dedicated, high-speed con­nection type called Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE). PPPoE is
similar to a dial-up connection, but PPPoE does not dial a phone number when
establishing a connection. PPPoE also will provide the Router with a dynamic
IP address to establish a connection to the Internet.

DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Servers

PCs and other network devices using dynamic IP addressing are assigned a ne w
IP address by a DHCP server. The PC or network device obtaining an IP
address is called the DHCP client. DHCP frees you from having to assign IP
addresses manually every time a new user is added to your network.

A DHCP server can either be a designated PC on the network or another net­work device, such as the Router. By default, the Router’s WAN setting is DHCP
client.

Note: Since the Router is a device that connects two networks, it
needs two IP addresses—one for the LAN, and one for the WAN. In
this User Guide, you’ll see references to the “WAN IP address” and
the “LAN IP address.”

Since the Router has firewall security, the only IP address that can be
seen from the Internet for your network is the Router’s WAN IP
address.

How e v er, even this WAN IP address can be blocked, so that the Router
and network seem invisible to the Internet—see the Blocking WAN
Requests description under IP Filtering in “Chapter 6: The Router’s
Web-based Utility.”

Power Green. The Power LED lights up when the Router is po w ered

on.

The LAN Indicators

Link/Act Green. The Link/Act LED serves two purposes. If the LED

is continuously lit, the Router is successfully connected to a
device through the corresponding port. If the LED is flicker­ing, the Router is actively sending or receiving data over that
port.

100 Green. The 100 LED lights up when a successful 100Mbps

connection is made through the corresponding port. If this
LED does not light up, then your connection speed is
10Mbps.

Chapter 2:Getting to Know the
Cable/DSL 4-Port Router

The Router’s ports, where network cables are connected, are located on the
Router’s back panel.

Internet The Internet port is where you connect your cable

or DSL modem with an Ethernet cable. Your

modem connection will not work from any other
port.

Ports 1-4 These four LAN (Local Area Network) ports con-

nect to network devices, such as PCs, print servers,
and network attached storage (NAS). Port 1 can be
used as an uplink port to other network devices.

Power The Power port is where you will connect the

power adapter.

The Uplink Pushbutton

If you use Port 1 to uplink the Router to a hub or switch, press the Uplink push­button. If you use Port 1 to connect to a PC, make sure the Uplink pushbutton
is not pressed.

The Reset Button

The Reset button can be used in one of two ways:

1. If the Router is having problems connecting to the Internet, press the Reset

button for just a moment with a paper clip or a pencil tip. This clears up an y
jammed connections, and is similar to pressing the Reset button on your PC
to reboot it.

This will reboot the Router while keeping all of the Router’s settings.

2. If you are experiencing extreme problems with the Router and have tried all

other troubleshooting measures, press the Reset Button and hold it down
until the red Diag LED on the front panel tur ns on and off completely.

This will restore factory defaults and clear all of the Router’s settings,
including settings such as IP addresses or a new password.

Chapter 3:Connect the Router

Unlike a hub or a switch, the Router’s setup consists of more than simply plug­ging hardware together. You will have to configure your networked PCs to
accept the IP addresses that the Router assigns them (if applicable), and you
will also have to configure the Router with setting(s) provided by your Internet
Service Provider (ISP).

The installation technician from your ISP should have left the setup infor ma­tion for your modem with you after installing your broadband connection. If
not, you can call your ISP to request the data.

Once you hav e the setup information you need for your specific type of Internet
connection, you can begin installation and setup of the Router.

The Internet Indicators

Internet Green. The Internet LED lights up when a successful con-

nection is made between the Router and your cable or DSL
modem or WAN.

Diag Red. The Diag LED lights up when the Router goes through

its self-diagnosis mode during every boot-up. It will turn off
upon successful completion of the diagnosis.

If this LED stays on for one minute or longer, see “Appendix
A: Troubleshooting.”

Proceed to “Chapter 3:Connect the Router.”

Note: You have two methods of installing the Router: using the Setup

Wizard or using the manual installation instructions. Network
Everywhere recommends you run the Setup Wizard on the Setup
Wizard CD-ROM. Insert the Setup Wizard CD-ROM into your PC’s
CD-ROM drive. The Setup W izard will run automaticall y. Then follo w

5. Connect the power adapter to the Power port, and then plug the power
adapter into a power outlet.

• The Power LED on the front panel will light up g reen as soon as the power

adapter is connected properly.

• The Diag LED will light up red for a few seconds when the Router goes

through its self-diagnostic test. This LED will turn off when the self-test is
complete.

5. Power on the cable or DSL modem.

6. Press the Reset button on the Router’s front panel with a paper clip or a pen­cil. Hold the button in until the Diag LED lights up and then turns off. This
will restore the Router’s f actory def ault settings.

The Router’s hardware installation is now complete.

Go to “Chapter 4: Configure the PCs.”

1. Before you begin, make sure that all of your network’s hardware is powered
off, including the Router, PCs, and cable or DSL modem.

2. Connect one end of
an Ethernet network
cable to one of the
LAN ports (labeled
1-4) on the back of
the Router.

If you use Port 1 to uplink the Router to a hub or switch, press the Uplink
pushbutton. If you use Port 1 to connect to a PC, make sure the Uplink push­button is not pressed.

3. Connect the other end of the
Ethernet network cable to a
standard port on a network
device, e.g., a PC, hub,
switch, or print server. See
“Appendix E: Twisted-Pair
Cabling” for details on net­work cabling.

Repeat the above step to connect more PCs or network devices to the Router.

4. Connect the Ethernet network cable from your cable or DSL modem to the
Internet port on the Router’s rear panel. This is the only port that will work
for your modem connection.

Connecting Your Hardware Together and Booting Up

Have you checked that the Link/Act LEDs for all your LAN con-
nections and the Internet LED for your WAN connection light
up?

If these LEDs are not lighting up, make sure that all your cables are
securely plugged in, and that all of your hardware is powered on
properly. Verify that the modem is plugged into the Inter net port on
the Router.

Network Everywhere™Series

Chapter 4: Configure the PCs

The instructions in this chapter will help you configure each of your comput­ers to be able to communicate with the Router.

T o do this, you need to configure your PC’s network settings to obtain an IP (or
TCP/IP) address automatically (called DHCP). Computers use IP addresses to
communicate with each other across a network, such as the Internet.

Find out which Windows operating system your computer is running. You can
find out by clicking the Start button and then selecting the Settings option.
Then click Control Panel, and double-click the System icon. If your Start
menu doesn’t have a Settings option, you’re running Windows XP. Click the
Cancel button when done.

You may need to do this for each computer you are connecting to the Router.

The next few pages tell you, step by step, how to configure your network set­tings based on the type of W indows operating system you are using. Make sure
that an Ethernet card or adapter (also known as a network adapter) has been
successfully installed in each PC you will configure. Once you’ve conf igured
your computers, continue to “Chapter 5: Conf igure the Router.”

This chapter will show you how to configure the Router to function in your net­work and gain access to the Internet through your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). Detailed description of the Router’s Web-based Utility can be found in
“Chapter 6: The Router’s Web-based Utility.” Your ISP may require the use of
a Host Name and Domain Name. Further, you will set the WAN Connection
Type on the Router’s Setup tab based on the infor mation provided by your ISP.
You will need setup information for your Internet connection from your ISP. If
you do not have this infor mation, please contact your ISP before proceeding.

The instructions from your ISP tell you how to set up your PC for Internet
access. Because you are now using the Router to share Internet access among
several computers, you will use the setup information to configure the Router
instead of your PC. You only need to conf igure the Router once using the first
computer you set up.
