Modem Router Setup Preparation
You can set up your modem router with the Setup Wizard as described in EZ Setup Wizard
on page 18, or manually as described in Internet Setup (Basic Settings) on page 22.
However, before you start the setup process, you need to have your ISP information and to
make sure the laptops, computers, and other devices in the network have the settings
described here.
Note: For a Macintosh or Linux system, you have to use manual setup.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP
If you set up your computer to use a static IP address, you have to change the settings back
so that it uses Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP).
Replace an Existing Modem and Router
To replace an existing modem and router, disconnect them and set them aside before starting
the modem router setup.
Gather ISP Information
You need the following information to set up your modem router and to check that your
Internet configuration is correct. Your Internet service provider (ISP) should have provided
you with all the information needed to connect to the Internet. If you cannot locate this
information, ask your ISP to provide it. When your modem router Internet connection is set
up, you no longer need to launch the ISP login program on your computer to access the
Internet. When you start an Internet application, your modem router automatically logs you in.
• Active Internet service account
• The ISP configuration information for your account
- ISP login name and password
- ISP Domain Name Server (DNS) addresses
- Fixed or static IP address
- Host and domain names
- Depending on how your ISP set up your Internet account, you could need to know
one or more of these settings for a manual setup:
- Virtual path identifier (VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameters
- Multiplexing method
- Host and domain names

Preset Security
The modem router comes with preset security. This means that the Wi-Fi network name
(SSID) and the WiFi network password (network key) are preset in the factory. You can find
the preset SSID and passphrase on the bottom of the unit.
• Wi-Fi network name (SSID) identifies your network so devices can find it.
• Passphrase controls access to your network. Devices that know the SSID and the
passphrase can find your wireless network and connect.
• Security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The
security protocol in force encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted
devices receive authorization to connect to your network. The preset security option is
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK mixed mode, described in
The Wireless Settings screen lets you view and change the preset security settings. If you
change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe
place where you can easily find it.
Wireless Security Options on page 25.
WiFi Security Basics
Unlike wired network data, wireless data transmissions extend beyond your walls and can be
received by any device with a compatible wireless adapter (radio). For this reason, it is very
important to maintain the preset security and understand the other security features available
to you. Besides the preset security settings described in the previous section, your modem
router has the security features described here and in
• Turn off wireless connectivity
• Disable SSID broadcast
• Restrict access by MAC address
• Wireless security options
Disable SSID Broadcast
By default, the modem router broadcasts its Wi-Fi network name (SSID) so devices can find
it. If you change this setting to not allow the broadcast, wireless devices cannot find your
modem router unless they are configured with the same SSID.
Note: Turning off SSID broadcast nullifies the wireless network discovery
feature of some products such as Windows XP, but the data is still
fully exposed to a determined snoop using specialized test
equipment like wireless sniffers. If you allow the broadcast, be sure
to keep wireless security enabled.
Security Settings on page 35.
Modem Router Setup

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
Restrict Access by MAC Address
You can enhance your network security by allowing access to only specific computers based
on their Media Access Control (MAC) addresses. You can restrict access to only trusted
computers so that unknown computers cannot wirelessly connect to the modem router. The
wireless station MAC address filtering adds more security protection to the wireless security
option that you have in force. The access list determines which wireless hardware devices
are allowed to connect to the modem router by MAC address. See
page 54 for the procedure.

Wireless Security Options
A security option is the type of security protocol applied to your wireless network. The
security protocol encrypts data transmissions and ensures that only trusted devices receive
authorization to connect to your network. There are several types of encryption: Wi-Fi
Protected Access II (WPA2), WPA, and Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA2 is the latest
and most secure, and is recommended if your equipment supports it. WPA has several
options including pre-shared key (PSK) encryption and 802.1x encryption for enterprises. It is
possible to disable wireless security, but that is not recommended. You can view or change
the wireless security options in the Wireless Settings screen. See
page 25.

Wireless Setup
The Wireless Settings screen lets you view or change the wireless network settings. Your
preset modem router has a unique network name and password on the product label. If you
change them, note the new settings and save them in a secure location.
Note: If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name
(SSID) or security options, you are disconnected when you click
Apply. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired
connection to access the modem router.
Consider Every Device on Your Network
Before you begin, check the following:
• Every wireless computer has to be able to obtain an IP address by DHCP from the
modem router as described in
• Each computer or wireless adapter in your network must have the same SSID and
wireless mode (bandwidth or data rate) as the modem router. Check that the wireless
adapter on each computer can support the mode and security option you want to use.
Use Standard TCP/IP Properties for DHCP on page 15.
Modem Router Setup
25
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
• The security option on each wireless device in the network must match the settings of the
modem router. For example, if you select a security option that requires a passphrase, be
sure to use same passphrase for each wireless computer in the network.

ress, which is a unique 12-character
physical address, containing the hexadecimal characters 0–9, a–f, or A–F only, and
separated by colons (for example, 00:09:AB:CD:EF:01). The MAC address is typically on a
label on the wireless card or device. If you do not have access to the label, you can display
the MAC address using the network configuration utilities of the computer. You might also find
the MAC addresses in the Attached Devices screen.

WARNING:
• Disable SIP ALG. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Level Gateway (ALG)
is enabled by default to optimize VoIP phone calls that use the SIP. You can select this
check box to disable the SIP ALG, which might be useful when running certain
applications.
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 that computer’s IP address is entered as
the default DMZ server.
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.
The router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the
router forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default
DMZ server.
To set up a default DMZ server:
1. Select Setup > WAN Setup.
2. Select the Default DMZ Server check box.
3. Type the IP address.
4. Click Apply .
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 have to be split or fragmented to
accommodate the device with the smallest MTU.
The best MTU setting for On Networks equipment is often just the default value. In some
situations, changing the value fixes one problem but causes another. Leave the MTU
unchanged unless one of these situations occurs:

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.

LAN TCP/IP Setup
• IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router.
• IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP
address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to
it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router.
• RIP Direction. Router Information Protocol (RIP) allows a router to exchange routing
information with other routers. This setting controls how the router sends and receives
RIP packets. Both is the default setting. With the Both or Out Only setting, the router
broadcasts its routing table periodically. With the Both or In Only setting, the router
incorporates the RIP information that it receives.
• RIP Version. This setting controls the format and the broadcasting method of the RIP
packets that the modem router sends. It recognizes both formats when receiving. By
default, the RIP function is disabled.
RIP-1 is universally supported. It is adequate for most networks, unless you have an
unusual network setup.
RIP-2 carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M send the routing data in RIP-2
format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M uses multicasting.
Use Router as a DHCP Server
This check box is selected by default so that the modem router functions as a Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server.
• Starting IP Address. Specify the start of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the modem router.
• Ending IP Address. Specify the end of the range for the pool of IP addresses in the
same subnet as the modem router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer receives
the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP server. Assign
reserved IP addresses to servers that require permanent IP settings. See
Reservation on page 34.
Address
Use the Modem Router as a DHCP Server
By default, the modem router acts as a DHCP server. The 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 in this 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 are
satisfactory.
Modem Router Setup
33
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
You can specify the pool of IP addresses that the modem router assigns by setting the
starting IP address and ending IP address. These addresses should 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 192.168.0.2 and 192.168.0.254, although you might want to
save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
• An IP address from the range you have defined
• Subnet mask
• Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
• Primary DNS server (if you entered a primary DNS address in the Internet Setup screen;
otherwise, the modem router’s LAN IP address)
• Secondary DNS server (if you entered a secondary DNS address in the Internet Setup
screen)
To use another device on your network as the DHCP server, or to specify the network
settings of all of your computers, clear the Use Router as DHCP Server check box and click
Apply. Otherwise, leave this check box selected. If you clear this check box and no other
DHCP server is on your network, you need to set your computers’ IP addresses manually so
that they can access the modem router.
Address Reservation
When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always
receives the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP server.
Assign reserved IP addresses to computers or servers that require permanent IP settings.
To reserve an IP address:
1. In the Address Reservation section of the screen, click the Add button.
2. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. (Choose an
IP address from the modem router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x.)
3. Type the MAC address of the computer or server.
Tip: If the computer is already on your network, you can copy its MAC
address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.
4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table.
The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the
modem router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer, or access its IP configuration and
force a DHCP release and renew.
To edit or delete a reserved address entry, select the radio button next to the reserved
address you want to edit or delete. Then click Edit or Delete.

Block Services
Services are functions performed by server computers at the request of client computers. For
example, web servers serve web pages, time servers serve time and date information, and
game hosts serve data about other players’ moves. When a computer on the Internet sends
a request for service to a server computer, the requested service is identified by a service or
port number. This number appears as the destination port number in the transmitted IP

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. You can create custom rules to further restrict the outbound communications or
more widely open the inbound communications:

Set Up Firewall Rules
The Firewall Rules screen lets you add custom rules to make exceptions to the default rules.
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.
All 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 default rules at the bottom. In some
cases, the order of precedence is important to determine which communications are allowed
into or out of the network.

Dynamic DNS
If your Internet service provider (ISP) gave you a permanently assigned IP address, you can
register a domain name and have that name linked with your IP address by public Domain
Name Servers (DNS). Most Internet accounts use dynamically assigned IP addresses. You
do not know in advance what your IP address will be, and the address can change frequently.
In this case, you can use a commercial Dynamic DNS service. This type of service lets you
register your domain to their IP address and forwards traffic directed at your domain to your
frequently changing IP address.

Static Routes
Static routes provide additional routing information to your modem router. Typically, you do
not need to add static routes. You have to configure static routes only for unusual cases such
as multiple modem routers or multiple IP subnets on your network.
As an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:
• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.
• You have an ISDN modem router on your home network for connecting to the company
where you are employed. This modem router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.
• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.
When you first configured your modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A
default route was created with your ISP as the gateway, and a second static route was
created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you
attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router forwards your
request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed,
and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.
In this case you have to define a static route, telling your modem router that 134.177.0.0
should be accessed through the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100. In this example:
• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route
applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses.
• The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses should be
forwarded to the ISDN modem router at 192.168.0.100.
• A metric value of 1 will work since the ISDN modem router is on the LAN.
• Private is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.

N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
Power LED Is Red
When the modem router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test during which time the
Power LED turns red. If the Power LED does not turn green within a minute or so or if it turns
red at any other time during normal operation, there is a fault within the modem router.
If the Power LED turns red to indicate a modem router fault, turn the power off and on to see
if the modem router recovers. If the Power LED is still red 1 minute after power-up:
• Turn the power off and on one more time to see if the modem router recovers.
• Clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults as explained in Factory
Settings on page 72. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1.
If the error persists, you could have a hardware problem and should contact technical
support.
Ethernet LED Is Off for a Connected Port
If the appropriate Ethernet LED does not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check
the following:
• The Ethernet cable connections are secure at the modem router and at the hub or
workstation.
• The power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.
• You are using the correct cable.
Cannot Log In to the Modem Router
If you are unable to log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network, check
the following:
• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection
between the computer and the modem router as described in the previous section.
• Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the modem router.
If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should
be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.
• If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and
Mac OS generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server.
These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in
this range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router, and reboot your
computer.
• If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP
address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the modem
router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in
page 72.

Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.
• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.
• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is
admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter
this information.
Troubleshoot the Internet Connection
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, check the ADSL connection, then the
WAN TCP/IP connection.
ADSL Link
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, first determine whether you have an
ADSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the Internet
LED.
ADSL Link LED Is Green
If your ADSL link LED is green, then you have a good ADSL connection. You can be
confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is
correct.
ADSL Link LED Is Blinking Green
If your ADSL link LED is blinking green, then your modem router is attempting to make an
ADSL connection with the service provider. The LED should turn green within several
minutes.
If the ADSL link LED does not turn green, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves
the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each
telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your
telephones.
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL link LED, there might be a
problem with your wiring. If the telephone company has tested the ADSL signal at your
network interface device (NID), then you might have poor-quality wiring in your house.
ADSL Link LED Is Off
If the ADSL link LED is off, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem,
reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each telephone. If
the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones.
If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL link LED, check for the following:
• Check that the telephone company has made the connection to your line and tested it.
Troubleshooting
65
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
• Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If you have more than one
phone line, be sure that you are connected to the line with the ADSL service. It might be
necessary to use a swapper if your ADSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 or the RJ-11 jack. The
modem router uses pins 2 and 3.
Internet LED Is Red
If the Internet LED is red, the device was unable to connect to the Internet. Verify the
following:
• Check that your login credentials are correct, or that the information you entered on the
Basic Settings screen is correct.
• Check with your ISP to verify that the multiplexing method, VPI, and VCI settings are
correct.
• Check if your ISP has a problem—it might not be that the modem router cannot connect
to the Internet, but rather that your ISP that cannot provide an Internet connection.
Obtaining an Internet IP Address
If your modem router is unable to access the Internet, and your Internet LED is green, see if
the modem router can obtain an Internet IP address from the ISP. Unless you have been
assigned a static IP address, your modem router requests an IP address from the ISP. You
can determine whether the request was successful using the browser interface.
To check the Internet IP address from the browser interface:
1. Launch your browser, and select an external website.
2. Access the modem router’s configuration at http://192.168.0.1.
3. On the Home screen (Router Status), check that an IP address is shown for the WAN port.
If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your modem router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP.
If your modem router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be
one of the following:
• If you have selected a login program, the service name, user name, or password might be
incorrectly set. See the following section,
• Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name. Assign the computer host name of
your ISP account to the modem router in the browser-based Setup Wizard.
• Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and might check
for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:
PPPoE or PPPoA .
- Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the
modem router’s MAC address.
- Configure your modem router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. This can be
done in the Basic Settings screen.
Troubleshooting
66
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
PPPoE or PPPoA
To debug the PPPoE or PPPoA connection:
1. Log in to the modem router.
2. On the Home screen (Router Status), click the Connection Status button.
3. If all of the steps indicate OK, then your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is up and working.
4. If any of the steps indicates Failed, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The
modem router continues to attempt to connect indefinitely.
If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name,
user name, or password. There also might be a provisioning problem with your ISP.
Note: Unless you connect manually, the modem router does not
authenticate using PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the
network.
Internet Browsing
If your modem router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any web
pages from the Internet:
• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses.
A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www
addresses) to numeric IP
two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address when you set up the modem
router, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can
configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating
system documentation.
• Your computer might not have the modem router configured as its TCP/IP modem router.
If your computer obtains its information from the modem router by DHCP, reboot the
computer, and verify the modem router address.

TCP/IP Network Does Not Respond
Most TCP/IP terminal devices and routers have a ping utility for sending an echo request
packet to the designated device. The device responds with an echo reply to tell whether a
TCP/IP network is responding to requests.
Test the LAN Path to Your Modem Router
You can ping the modem router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your
modem router is set up correctly.
To ping the modem router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:
1. From the Windows task bar, click the Start button, and select Run.
2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the modem router, as in this
example:
ping 192.168.0.1
3. Click OK.
You should see a message like this one:
Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of data
If the path is working, you see this message:
Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxx
If the path is not working, you see this message:
Request timed out
If the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:
• Wrong physical connections
- Make sure that the Ethernet port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions
in
Ethernet LED Is Off for a Connected Port on page 64.
- Check that the corresponding link LEDs are on for your network interface card and
for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and modem
router.
• Wrong network configuration
- Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both
installed and configured on your computer or workstation.
- Verify that the IP address for your modem router and your workstation are correct
and that the addresses are on the same subnet.
Troubleshooting
68
N150 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router N150RM
Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote Device
After you verify that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your Windows PC to a
remote device. In the Windows Run screen, type:
ping -n 10 IP address
where IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.
If the path is functioning correctly, replies as described in Test the LAN Path to Your Modem
Router on page 68 display. If you do not receive replies:
• Check that your PC has the IP address of your modem router listed as the default modem
router. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not
visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the modem
router is listed as the default router.
• Check that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the
netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.
• Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.
• If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the account name
in the Basic Settings screen.
• Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many
broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your
modem, but some additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC
connected to that modem. In this case, configure your modem router to clone or spoof the
MAC address from the authorized PC.
Changes Not Saved
If the modem router does not save the changes you make in the modem router interface,
check the following:
• When entering configuration settings, always click the Apply button before moving to
another screen or tab, or your changes are lost.
• Click the Refresh or Reload button in the web browser. The changes might have
occurred, but the old settings might be in the web browser’s cache.
Incorrect Date or Time
Select Security > Schedule to display the current date and time. The modem router uses the
Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time
servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day.
Problems with the date and time function can include the following:
• Date shown is January 1, 2000. This means the modem router has not yet reached a
network time server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If you have
