Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the WLM-1500/2500/3500 Wireless
ADSL2+ Modem. The WLM-1500 uses technology based on 802.11n, while the
WLM-2500/3500 is fully compliant with 802.11n. These modems are also fully
compliant with 802.11g & 802.11b. These modems provide the best
performance when used in combination with 802.11n client adapters.

The WLM-1500/2500/3500 is not only a Modem or Wireless Access Point, but
can also be used to connect wired Ethernet devices.

For data protection and privacy, the WLM-1500/2500/3500 can encode all
wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA or WPA2 encryption. By default, the
modem is secured with a WPA2 (AES) encryption key. (The WPA2-key is printed
on the label underneath the modem.)

With a built-in DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WLM-1500/2500/3500
protects your computers against intruders and known Internet attacks, and also
provides safe VPN pass-through.

11 Basic Settings

LAN Settings

This page is used to configure the LAN interface of your ADSL Router. You can
set IP address, subnet mask, and IGMP Snooping.

Parameter Description

Interface Name The interface name is “br0”.

IP Address

Subnet Mask Enter the Subnet Mask of the ADSL router. By default, the

Secondary IP Assign second IP address to LAN.
IGMP Snooping Enable/disable the IGMP snooping function for the multiple

Ethernet to
Wireless
Blocking

Enter the IP Address of the ADSL router for the local user to
access the router’s web page. By default, the IP Address is

192.168.0.1.

bridged LAN ports. When “IGMP Snoop” (Internet Group
Management Protocol Snoop) is enabled, the router can
make intelligent multicast forwarding decisions by examining
the contents of each frame’s IP header. Without the function,
the router will broadcast the multicast packets to each port
and may create excessive traffic on the network and degrade
the performance of the network.
Enable/disable the ‘Ethernet to Wireless Blocking’, when this
function is enabled, the traffic between Ethernet and wireless
interfaces is not allowed.

DHCP Settings

You can configure your network and the router to use the Dynamic Host
Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This page allows you to select the DHCP mode
that this router will support.

There are two different DHCP Modes: DHCP Server and DHCP Relay. When the
router is acting as DHCP server, please configure the router in the “DHCP
Server” page; while acting as DHCP Relay, you can setup the relay in the “DHCP
Relay” page.

DHCP Relay

Some ISPs perform the DHCP server function for their customers’ home/small
office network. In this case, you can configure this device to act as a DHCP
relay agent. When a user’s computer on your network requests Internet access,
the router contacts your ISP to obtain the IP configuration, and then forward
that information to the computer.
