1.1 Overview

The Device is a wireless VDSL router and Gigabit Ethernet gateway. It has a DSL port and a Gigabit Ethernet port for super-fast Internet access. The Device supports both Packet Transfer Mode (PTM) and Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM). It is backward compatible with ADSL, ADSL2 and ADSL2+ in case VDSL is not available.

Only use firmware for your Device’s specific model. Refer to the label on the bottom of your Device.

The Device has two USB ports for sharing files via a USB storage device, sharing a USB printer, or connecting a 3G dongle for a WAN backup connection.

The Device works over the analog telephone system, POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service).

1.2 Ways to Manage the Device

Use any of the following methods to manage the Device.

•Web Configurator. This is recommended for everyday management of the Device using a (supported) web browser.

•TR-069. This is an auto-configuration server used to remotely configure your device.

1.3Good Habits for Managing the Device

Do the following things regularly to make the Device more secure and to manage the Device more effectively.

•Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters.

•Write down the password and put it in a safe place.

•Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the Device to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the Device. You could simply restore your last configuration.

1.4 Applications for the Device

Here are some example uses for which the Device is well suited.

1.4.1 Internet Access

Your Device provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack on a splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL or VDSL. The Device cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode at the same time.

Note: The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you configure in the Device. Refer to Section 4.2 on page 45 for the Network Setting > Broadband screen.

Computers can connect to the Device’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).

You can also configure IP filtering on the Device for secure Internet access. When the IP filter is on, all incoming traffic from the Internet to your network is blocked by default unless it is initiated from your network. This means that probes from the outside to your network are not allowed, but you can safely browse the Internet and download files.

1.6 The RESET Button

If you forget your password or cannot access the Web Configurator, you will need to use the RESET button at the back of the device to reload the factory-default configuration file. This means that you will lose all configurations that you had previously and the password will be reset to the default password printed on the back of the Device.

1Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on (not blinking).

2To set the device back to the factory default settings, press the RESET button for ten seconds or until the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink and then release it. When the PWR/SYS LED begins to blink, the defaults have been restored and the device restarts.

1.7Wireless Access

The Device is a wireless Access Point (AP) for wireless clients, such as notebook computers or PDAs and iPads. It allows them to connect to the Internet without having to rely on inconvenient Ethernet cables.

You can configure your wireless network in either the built-in Web Configurator, or using the WPS button.

Figure 6 Wireless Access Example

1.7.1 Using the Wi-Fi and WPS Buttons

If the wireless network is turned off, press the Wi-Fi button for one second. Once the WiFi 2.4G LED turns green, the wireless network is active.

You can also use the WPS button to quickly set up a secure wireless connection between the Device and a WPS-compatible client by adding one device at a time.

To activate WPS:

1Make sure the PWR/SYS LED is on and not blinking.

2Press the WPS button for five seconds and release it.

3Press the WPS button on another WPS-enabled device within range of the Device. The WiFi 2.4G LED flashes orange while the Device sets up a WPS connection with the other wireless device.

4Once the connection is successfully made, the WiFi 2.4G LED shines green.

To turn off the wireless network, press the Wi-Fi button for one to five seconds. The WiFi 2.4G LED turns off when the wireless network is off.

1.8Wall-mounting Instructions

Do the following to hang your Device on a wall.

1Locate a high position on a wall that is free of obstructions. Use a sturdy wall.

2Hold the bracket against the wall and mark where to drill the holes.

3Drill the two screw holes in the wall.
