Picture of router.
Speed test.
Jeg var så heldig at have denne hastighed I ca. 14 dage inden FULLRATE fik rettet
konfigurationen, det kørte bare hurtigt. Desværre er det slut nu har jeg de 25/4 Mbit
som jeg betaler for. Jeg kunne ellers godt vende mig til den anden hastighed.
Dette er en simpel copy/paste manual, som indeholder det samme som
brugerinterface, men det er hurtigere at slå op i denne manual.
Håber at I kan bruge det.
Med venlig hilsen
Martin Lohse.

ADSL Settings Help
The default parameters should be correct to match the system used by your ISP
• Multiplexing Method - Your ISP will indicate whether your Multiplexing Method is VC-
BASED or LLC-BASED.
• Virtual Circuit - Your ISP will indicate which VPI/VCI combination is used for your service.
Connection service guarantees are specified per ATM VPI/VCI by a set of measurable connection
parameters. Please check your ISP to set the proper parameters. If you don't know how to configure
them, please keep them as default.
• UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate): The protocol that provides spare bandwidth to non-critical
services such as file transfers. The actual rate depend on the bandwidth of the current
network.
• CBR(Constant Bit Rate): Real-time connection with a specified amount of guaranteed
bandwidth (PCR) that is continuously available during the connection life-time.
• VBR-rt (Real-Time Variable Bit Rate): Similar as CBR intended for real-time applications
with constrained delay and delay variation values, but which can benefit from variable bitrates. The average guaranteed bandwidth is SCR, but data up to PCR may be sent for a
limited amount of data specified by MBS. A VBR-rt connection is characterized by PCR,
SCR, MBS.
• VBR-nrt (Non-Real-Time Variable Bit Rate): Intended for non-real-time applications that
have bursty traffic characteristics and no strict transfer delay requirements but which require
an amount of guaranteed bandwidth. A VBR-nrt connection is characterized by an average
guaranteed bandwidth (SCR) up to a maximum guaranteed bandwidth (PCR) for a burst
with specified maximum size (MBS).
• PCR (Peak Cell Rate): Maximum number of ATM cells per second that may be sent on the
connection.
• SCR (Sustainable Cell Rate): Average number of ATM cells per second that may be sent on
the connection.
• MBS (Maximum Burst. Size): Maximum number of ATM cells that may be sent in a burst,
and thus exceeding the average number of cells (SCR) up to the maximum number of cells
(PCR) for a limited number of ATM cells defined by MBS.

Help
The VVG2000 Settings pages allow you to configure, upgrade and check the status of your
NETGEAR Router.
Click an item in the leftmost column. The current settings or information for that area appear in the
center column.
Helpful information related to the selected Settings page appears in this column. If you are using
Internet Explorer, you may click an item in the center column to jump directly to the related help
section; otherwise, scroll down until you reach it.
Basic Settings Help
Note: If you are setting up the Router for the first time, the default settings may work for you with
no changes.
Does Your Internet Connection Require A Login?
Select this option based on the type of account you have with your ISP. If you need to enter login
information every time you connect to the Internet or you have a PPPoE account with your ISP,
select Yes. Otherwise, select No.
Note: If you have installed PPP software such as WinPoET (from Earthlink) or Enternet (from
PacBell), then you have PPPoE. Select Yes. After selecting Yes and configuring your Router, you
will not need to run the PPP software on your PC to connect to the Internet.
Account Name
(also known as Host Name or System Name)
For most users, type your account name or user name in this box. For example, if your main mail
account is JerAB@ISP.com, then put JerAB in this box.
If your ISP has given you a specific Host name, then type it (for example, CCA7324-A).
Domain Name
For most users, you may leave this box blank, unless required by your ISP. You may type the
domain name of your ISP. For example, if your ISP's mail server is mail.xxx.yyy.zzz, you would
type xxx.yyy.zzz as the Domain Name.
If you have a Domain name given to you by your ISP, type it in this box. (For example, Earthlink
Cable may require a Host name of 'home' and Comcast sometimes supplies a Domain name.)
Internet IP Address
If you log in to your service or your ISP did not provide you with a fixed IP address, the Router will
find an IP address for you automatically when you connect. Select Get Dynamically From ISP.
If you have a fixed (or static IP) address, your ISP will have provided you with the required
information. Select Use Static IP Address and type the IP Address, Subnet Mask and Gateway IP
Address into the correct boxes.
.El Design eldesign.dk NETGEAR DSL VVG2000 8/48
For example:
• IP Address: 24.218.156.183
• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
• Gateway IP Address: 24.218.156.1
If your ISP uses Classical IP (RFC1577) or Routed RFC1483, select Use IP over ATM (IPOA).
Fill in the infomation provided to you by your ISP. Type the IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Gatway
IP address into the correct boxes.
Note: It is not always necessary to fill in the IPoA Gateway IP Address. In a RFC1577
environment, the gateway can be discovered automatically.
DNS Address
The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.
If your ISP gave you one or two DNS addresses, select Use These DNS Servers and type the
primary and secondary addresses.
Otherwise, select Get Automatically From ISP.
Note: If you get 'Address not found' errors when you go to a Web site, it is likely that your DNS
servers aren't set up properly. You should contact your ISP to get DNS server addresses.
NAT (Network Address Translation)
NAT allows all LAN PCs to gain Internet access via this Router, by sharing this Router's WAN IP
address. In most situations, NAT is essential for Internet access via this Router. You should only
disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. When NAT is disabled, only standard routing is
performed by this Router. Disabling the Firewall will change the default incoming rule from
"Block" to "Allow",so the protections normally provided by the firewall will be disabled.
Protections against DoS attacks and Port Scans will still be enabled and can be modified in the
WAN Setup page.
Router MAC Address
Your computer's local address is its unique address on your network. This is also referred to as the
computer's MAC (Media Access Control) address.
Usually, select Use Default MAC Address.
If your ISP requires MAC authentification, then select either Use Computer MAC address to
disguise the Router's MAC address with the Computer's own MAC address or Use This MAC
Address to manually type the MAC address for a different computer. The format for the MAC
address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX. This value may be changed if the Use Computer MAC
Address is selected once a value has already been set in the Use This MAC Address selection.

Wireless Settings Help
NOTE: To ensure proper agency compliance and compatibility between similar products in your
area; the operating channel & region must be set correctly by you.
Placement of the Router to Optimize Wireless Connectivity
The operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly based on the
physical placement of the Router. For best results, place your Router:
• Near the center of the area in which your PCs will operate,
• In an elevated location such as a high shelf,
• Away from potential sources of interference, such as PCs, microwaves, and cordless phones,
• Away from large metal surfaces.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines can result in significant performance degradation or
inability to wirelessly connect to the Router.
Wireless Network
Name (SSID)
Enter a value of up to 32 alphanumeric characters. The same Name (SSID) must be assigned to all
wireless devices in your network. The default SSID is NETGEAR, but NETGEAR strongly
recommends that you change your networks Name (SSID) to a different value. This value is also
case-sensitive. For example, Wireless is not the same as wireless.
Region
Select your region from the drop-down list. This field displays the region of operation for which the
wireless interface is intended. It may not be legal to operate the Router in a region other than the
region shown here. If your country or region is not listed, please check with your local government
agency or check our website for more information on which channels to use.
Channel
This field determines which operating frequency will be used. It should not be necessary to change
the wireless channel unless you notice interference problems with another nearby access point.
Mode
Select the desired wireless mode. The options are:
• Up to 54 Mbps - Legacy Mode with maximum speed of up to 54 Mbps for b/g networks.
• Up to 130 Mbps - Neighbor Friendly Mode - Default speed up to 130 Mbps in presence of
neighboring wireless networks.
• Up to 270 Mbps - Performance Mode - Maximum Wireless-N speed up to 270 Mbps.
The default is "Up to 130Mbps", which allows all 11b and 11g wireless stations. The NETGEAR
WN511B runs at 130 Mbps when accessing this router.
Wireless Access Point
.El Design eldesign.dk NETGEAR DSL VVG2000 11/48
Enable Wireless Access Point
The Wireless Access Point of this Router can be enabled or disabled to allow wireless access. The
wireless icon on the front of the Router will also display the current status of the Wireless Access
Point to let you know if it is disabled or enabled.
If Enabled, wireless stations will be able to access the Internet.
If Disabled, wireless stations will not be able to access the Internet.
Allow Broadcast of Name (SSID)
If Enabled, the SSID will broadcast its name to all Wireless Stations. Stations which have no SSID
(or a "null" value) can then adopt the correct SSID for connections to this Access Point.
Wireless Isolation
If Enabled, the Wireless Stations will be hidden from each other, and will not be able to
communicate with each other. For normal situations, this setting should be left at the default value
of Disabled.
Wireless Station Access List
By default, any wireless PC that is configured with the correct SSID will be allowed access to your
wireless network. For increased security, you can restrict access to the wireless network to only
allow specific PCs based on their MAC addresses. From the Wireless Settings menu, click the Setup
Access List button to display the Wireless Station Access List menu.
Security Options
Select the desired option, and ensure all your Wireless stations have the same setting:
• Disable - This will disable the security function. Data will not be encrypted before
transmission.
• WEP - WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy), if used, encrypts data before transmission. This
provides greater security and privacy. All Wireless Stations need to use the same settings
(WEP Key size and WEP key).
• WPA-PSK - This version of WPA uses a PSK (Pre-shared Key) for authentication, so you
don't need a Radius Server. All Wireless stations need to use the same PSK (Pre-shared
Key). Data transmissions are encrypted using a 256 Bit key derived from the PSK. This key
changes regularly, providing greater protection. WPA is more secure than WEP, and should
be used if possible.
• WPA-802.1x - This version of WPA requires the use of a Radius server for authentication.
Each user (Wireless Client) must have a "user" login on the Radius Server, and this device
must have a "client" login on the Radius server. Data transmissions are encrypted using a
key which is automatically generated.
WEP Security Encryption
Authentication Type
Normally this can be left at the default value of "Automatic." If that fails, select the appropriate
.El Design eldesign.dk NETGEAR DSL VVG2000 12/48
value - "Open System" or "Shared Key." Check your wireless card's documentation to see what
method to use.
Encryption Strength
Select the WEP Encryption level:
• 64-bit (sometimes called 40-bit) encryption
• 128-bit encryption
WEP Key
You can manually or automatically program the four data encryption keys. These values must be
identical on all PCs and Access Points in your network.
Automatic Key Generation (Passphrase)
Enter a word or group of printable characters in the Passphrase box and click the Generate button to
automatically configure the WEP Key(s). If encryption strength is set to 64 bit, then each of the four
key boxes will automatically be populated with key values. If encryption strength is set to 128 bit,
then only the selected WEP key box will automatically be populated with key values.
Manual Entry Mode
Select which of the four keys will be used and enter the matching WEP key information for your
network in the selected key box.
For 64 bit WEP - Enter ten hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).
For 128 bit WEP - Enter twenty-six hexadecimal digits (any combination of 0-9, A-F).
Be sure to click Apply to save your settings in this menu.
WPA-PSK Security Encryption
Network Key
For WPA-PSK, you need to enter the Network Key here. The Key must be from 8 to 63 ASCII
characters. Your Wireless Stations must use the same key.
WPA Encryption
Currently, only TKIP is supported. Ensure your Wireless Stations are also using TKIP. Normally,
this is the default. If there is no choice of encryption methods for WPA-PSK, then you can assume
TKIP will be used.
WPA-802.1x Security Encryption
Radius Server Name/IP Address
Enter the name or IP address of the Radius Server on your LAN.
• Each user (Wireless Client) must have a "user" login on the Radius Server.
• This device must have a "client" login on the Radius server. The login name is the name of
this device.
Radius Port
.El Design eldesign.dk NETGEAR DSL VVG2000 13/48
