For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range. For best results, place your modem router:

• Near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate and

preferably within line of sight to your wireless devices.

• So it is accessible to an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.

• In an elevated location such as a high shelf, keeping the number of walls and ceilings

between the modem router and your other devices to a minimum.

• A

way from electrical devices that are potential sources of interference, such as ceiling fans, home security systems, microwaves, computers, or a 2.4 GHz cordless phone and its base.

• A way from any large metal surfaces, such as a solid metal door or aluminum studs. Large

expanses of other materials such as glass, insulated walls, fish tanks, mirrors, brick, and concrete can also affect your wireless signal.

Plug-to-WAN Jack Adapter and ADSL Microfilters

If this is the first time you have cabled a modem router between a DSL phone line and your computer or laptop, you might not be familiar with ADSL microfilters. If you are, you can skip this section and proceed to Cable Your Modem Router on page 15.

German Plug-to-WAN Jack Adapter

If your subscriber line supports ADSL2+ Annex J, use the German plug-to-WAN jack adapter in between the DSL line and the microfilter or splitter. This adapter is part of the package that came with your modem router.

Plugs into the DSL line

Figure 6. German plug-to-WAN jack adapter

ADSL Microfilters

An ADSL microfilter is a small inline device that filters DSL interference out of standard phone

equipment that shares the same line with your DSL service. Every telephone device that connects to a telephone line that provides DSL service needs an ADSL microfilter to filter out the DSL interference. Examples of devices are telephones, fax machines, answering machines, and caller ID displays. Not every phone line in your home necessarily carries DSL service. That depends on the DSL service setup in your home.

One-Line ADSL Microfilter

Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet and plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone. The modem router plugs directly into a separate DSL line. Plugging the modem router into the phone jack blocks the Internet connection.

Plugs into DSL line

Figure 7. One-line ADSL microfilter

If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the best solution is to use an

ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter (see the next section, T wo-Line ADSL Microfilter).

If you do not have a separate DSL line for the modem router, the second-best solution is to get a separate splitter. To use a one-line filter with a separate splitter, insert the splitter into the phone outlet, connect the one-line filter to the splitter, and connect the phone to the filter.

Hardware Setup

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3

Two-Line ADSL Microfilter

Use an ADSL microfilter with a built-in splitter if you have a single wall outlet that provides connectivity for both the modem router and your telephone equipment. Plug the ADSL microfilter into the wall outlet, plug your phone equipment into the jack labeled Phone, and plug the modem router into the jack labeled ADSL.

Plugs into the DSL line

Figure 8. Two-line ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter

Summary

• German plug-to-WAN jack adapter. Use if your subscriber line supports ADSL2+ Annex J to

provide a connection between the DSL line and the microfilter or splitter.

• One-line ADSL microfilter. Use with a phone or fax machine.

• Splitter. Use with a one-line ADSL microfilter to share an outlet with a phone and the

modem router.

• Two-line ADSL microfilter with built-in splitter. Use to share an outlet with a phone

and the modem router.

Modem Router Setup Preparation

You can set up your modem router with the NETGEAR genie automatically, or you can use the genie menus and screens to set up your modem router manually. Before you start the setup process, get your ISP information and make sure the computers and devices in the network have the settings described here.

Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP

If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you must change the settings so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).

Gather ISP Information

If you have DSL broadband service, you might need the following information to set up your modem router and to check that your Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service provider (ISP) provided you with all of the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your Internet connection is working, you no longer need to launch the ISP’s login program on your computer to access the Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router automatically logs you in. Make sure that you have the following information:

• The ISP configuration information for your DSL account

• ISP login name and password

• Fixed or static IP address settings (special deployment by ISP; this is rare)

Wireless Devices and Security Settings

Make sure that the wireless device or computer that you are using supports WPA or WPA2 wireless security, which is the wireless security supported by the modem router.

Types of Logins and Access

There are separate types of logins that have different purposes. It is important that you understand the difference so that you know which login to use when.

• Modem Router login logs you in to the modem router web management interface. For

more information about this login, see Use NETGEAR genie after Installation on page 19.

Security Options: WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, and WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK Mixed Mode

WPA encryption is built into all hardware that has the Wi-Fi-certified seal. This seal means that the product is authorized by the Wi-Fi Alliance (http://www.wi-fi.org/) because it complies with the worldwide single standard for high-speed wireless local area networking.

These types of wireless security options use a pre-shared key (PSK), which is the same as a passphrase, wireless network password, or network key. For help with WPA settings on your wireless computer or device, see the instructions that came with your product.

ou can select from the following wireless PSK security options:

• WPA-PSK [TKIP]. Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) provides strong data security with

Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) encryption. This option supports speeds of up to 54 Mbps only.

• WPA2-PSK [AES]. Wi-Fi Protected Access version 2 (WPA2) provides strong data

security with security that is enabled by default. WPA2 provides the most reliable security. This option supports speeds of up to 150 Mbps. If not all clients in your network support WP A2, select WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode.

• WP

A-PSK [TKIP] + WPA2-PSK [AES]. WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK is referred to as mixed

Default DMZ Server

The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP address for that computer is entered as the default DMZ server.

WARNING:

DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ server loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to attack other computers on your network.

Change the MTU Size

The maximum transmission unit (MTU) is the largest data packet a network device transmits. When one network device communicates across the Internet with another, the data packets travel through many devices along the way. If a device in the data path has a lower MTU setting than the other devices, the data packets are split or “fragmented” to accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.

The best MTU setting for NETGEAR equipment is often just the default value. In some situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:

• You have problems connecting to your ISP or other Internet service, and the technical

support of either the ISP or NETGEAR recommends changing the MTU setting.

• You use VPN and have severe performance problems.

• You used a program to optimize MTU for performance reasons, and now you have

connectivity or performance problems.

Note: An incorrect MTU setting can cause Internet communication problems.

For example, you might not be able to access certain websites, frames within websites, secure login pages, or FTP or POP servers.

If you suspect an MTU problem, a common solution is to change the MTU to 1400. If you are willing to experiment, you can gradually reduce the MTU from the maximum value of 1500 until the problem goes away. The following table describes common MTU sizes and applications.

For more information, see Set Up Address Reservation on page 56.

Specify DHCP Server Settings

By default, the modem router functions as a DHCP server. The modem router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router. The modem router assigns IP addresses to the attached computers from a pool of addresses specified on the LAN Setup screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN. For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem router work well.

The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:

• An IP address from the range that you have defined

• Subnet mask

• Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

• DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)

ou can specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns by setting the starting IP address and ending IP address. These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router’

s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.1.2 and 192.168.1.254, although you might want to save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

QoS Setup

Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection. You use the QoS Setup screen to set up QoS features.

The following sections describe the QoS features.

WMM QoS for Wireless Multimedia Applications

The modem router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS, which is enabled by default, provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both the application and the client running that application must have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM and applications that do not require QoS are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video. WMM QoS is enabled by default.

If the modem router functions in Up to 65 Mbps wireless mode or Up to 150 Mbps wireless mode, you cannot disable WMM. Up to 54 Mbps wireless mode.

 To disable WMM QoS if the modem router functions in Up to 54 Mbps wireless mode:

1. Select ADVANCED > Setup > QoS Setup.

2. Clear the Enable WMM check box.

3. Click the Apply button.

Your settings are saved.

Set Up Firewall Rules to Control Network Access

Your modem router has a firewall that blocks unauthorized access to your wireless network and permits authorized inbound and outbound communications. Authorized communications are established according to inbound and outbound rules. The firewall has the following two default rules:

• Inbound. Block all access from outside except responses to requests from the LAN side.

• Outbound. Allow all access from the LAN side to the outside.

Security

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN1000Bv3

You can add rules to further restrict the outbound communications or more widely open the inbound communications. Exceptions can be based on the service or application, source or destination IP addresses, and time of day . You can log traffic that matches or does not match the rule and change the order of rule precedence.

Traffic attempting to pass through the firewall is subjected to the rules in the order shown in the Rules table from the top (highest precedence) to the bottom. In some cases, the order of precedence determines which communications are allowed into or out of the network.

The Firewall Rules screen lists all firewall rules that you have added.

Perform Diagnostics

You can perform two diagnostics tests:

• Ping an IP address or Host Name. Use this test to send a ping packet request to the

specified IP address or host name. This test is often used to test a connection. If the request times out (in other words, no

reply is received), this result usually means that the destination is unreachable. Note, however, that some network devices can be configured not to respond to a ping.

• Perform a DNS Lookup. A DNS (Domain Name Server) converts the Internet name (for

example, www.netgear.com) to an IP address. If you need the IP address of a web, FTP, mail, or other server on the Internet, do a DNS

lookup to find the IP address.

For normal operation, these tests are not required.

other equipment to your wireless network, see WPS Wizard for WiFi

Connections on page 57.

You cannot set up the WPS settings when the security is WEP. Make sure that the security mode is WPA-PSK, WP

A2-PSK, or WPA-PSK + WPA2-PSK mixed mode. For information

about configuring the security mode, see Basic Wireless Settings on page 36. You can do the following with the modem router’s PIN:

• Disable the PIN entirely.

• Change the number of times that a PIN connection is allowed to fail before the PIN is

automatically disabled. By default, the PIN is automatically disabled after three failed connection attempts. If the PIN is automatically disabled, it remains so until you restart the modem router. While the PIN is disabled, the WPS LED blinks slowly

• Turn off automatic disabling of the PIN.

 To specify WPS settings:

1. Select ADVANCED >

Advanced Setup > Wireless Settings.

The Advanced Wireless Settings screen displays. The Router’s PIN field displays the PIN that you use on a registrar (for example, from the
