Modifying Broadband Connection Settings
The Broadband Connection panel allows you to modify your broadband connection.
1.
From the Connection Type drop-down menu, select the connection type: PPPoE, PPPoA, Direct IP (DHCP
or Static), or Routed IPoA.
If you connect via PPPoE or PPPoA, proceed to step 2. If you connect via Direct IP or Routed IPoA,
proceed to step 5. Direct IP and Routed IPoA connections do not require a user name or password.
2.
In the Username field, enter your user name.
3.
In the Password field, enter your password.
4.
In the Confirm Password field, re-enter your password.
5.
In the PPP on Demand field, enter a value for the length of time you wish the PPP session to remain
active.
If the value is set to 0, the PPP session will not time-out (it will be always-on). If the value is between 1
to 10080 minutes, the PPP session will time-out if the gateway doesn’t detect outbound traffic destined
for the Internet in the specified time.

Modifying the Hardware Address
By default, the gateway uses its built-in hardware address. The Hardware Address Override panel allows you
to manually override the MAC address of the broadband connection, which is sometimes required for cable
modems that perform MAC address authentication.
1.
Click the
Override the built-in hardware address
radio button.
2.
In the Hardware Address field, enter the alternative hardware address.
3.
Click
SAVE
.
Enabling Hostname Override
In the DHCP Host Name field, enter the DHCP host name you want the gateway to use. This field is only
relevant if your ISP uses DHCP host name authentication.
Modifying the Broadband IP
By default, the gateway automatically obtains its Internet address. The Broadband IP panel allows you to
manually configure your Internet address settings.
1.
Click the
Manually configure IP address settings
radio button.
2.
In the IP address field, enter the IP address you want the gateway to use.

Modifying the Broadband DNS
By default, the gateway automatically obtains the DNS server addresses via DHCP
. The Broadband DNS
panel allows you to manually configure your DNS information.
1.
Click the
Manually configure your DNS information
radio button.
2.
In the Primary Server field, enter the IP address of the primary DNS server that the gateway is to use for
DNS name resolution.
3.
In the Secondary Server field, enter the IP address of the secondary DNS server that the gateway is to
use for DNS name resolution.
4.
In the Domain Name field, enter the specific domain name to be used by the gateway.

Home Network Tab
This chapter describes the 2Wire gateway Home Network features, and provides detailed instructions on
how to customize your network settings.
Viewing Your Home Network Summary
The Home Network Summary page displays information about the devices installed on your network.
To access the Home Network Summary page:
•
Open a Web browser and access the 2Wire gateway user interface by entering
•
Click the
Home Network
tab to open the View Network Summary page.

Understanding the Local Devices Panel
The Local Devices panel shows you the name of the device, how it is connected, any special configuration
information, and provides links to other system features that you can set up for the device. A “device” on
your network is usually a computer — either a personal computer used by a household member, or a
computer that is dedicated to a specific use (such as a Web server that hosts online games). The status of
each device is shown in the Local Devices list in your 2Wire gateway user interface.

Each device on your home network is represented with a computer icon.
If the “show inactive devices” option is enabled, and the device becomes inactive
because it is powered off or removed from your network, this icon will display as Inactive.
A symbol next to the device shows how it is connected to your home network:
If you defined a name for your computer during System Setup or when your computer was set up, the name
displays next to the device. However, there are two instances where the device name will not appear:
•
If your computer was manually configured with a static IP address, the static IP address displays
instead of the computer’s name.
•
If you have not named the device but it still obtains its Internet address from the system, the word
“Unknown” displays.
You can change the name of the device so that it will display in the system user interface by clicking the
Change name
link.
If you have configured the firewall to allow information from the Internet to pass through to the computer
(also referred to as “hosting an application”), the name of the application(s) that you are hosting are
displayed under the device name.
If you have defined special features for the computer (such as DMZplus mode), the feature is displayed
under the device name.
Note:
For additional information, refer to “Showing a Device as Inactive” on page 31.

Depending on the permissions you have set for devices on your network, the following links may display
next to the device:
•
Access shared files. Accesses the shared files available from this computer. This feature only works
with Microsoft Windows computers that have shared files and file sharing installed.
Note:
If your computer is configured with a static IP address, this link will not appear.
•
Edit firewall settings. Accesses the system user interface page, which allows you to edit the firewall
pass-through settings for the computer. For example, you may need to change the pass-through settings
for the computer if you want to play an Internet game.
•
View Internet Access Control. Accesses the Internet Access Restriction schedule for this computer.
•
Edit Content Screening. Accesses the Content Screening settings page, allowing you to change the Web
site permissions for users on your network.
•
View device details. Displays the technical networking details about the device. If you are experiencing
difficulties, this information may be helpful to a technical support representative.
Understanding the Status at a Glance Panel
The Status at a Glance panel shows you a list of network connection
types, the number of devices connected via each connection type,
and your wireless settings.
To change your wireless settings, click the
EDIT SETTINGS
button.
To disable a network device, click the
DISABLE
button.
A message asks you to confirm your decision.
Monitoring Your Wireless Settings
Your 2Wire gateway has an integrated wireless access point, which enables you to connect your wireless-
enabled computers to your home network.
By default, the 2Wire gateway ships with WEP enabled and a preconfigured network name. The default WEP
key is located on the bottom of the gateway, next to the serial number.
To check your current settings and configure changes:
•
Open a Web browser and access the 2Wire gateway user interface by entering
•
Click the
Home Network
tab.
