The Advanced User Interface is a web-based tool that you can use to set up the
Router if you don’t want to use the Easy Install Wizard. You can also use it to
manage advanced functions of the Router. From the Advanced User Interface, you
can perform the following tasks:
• View the Router’s current settings and status.
• Configure the Router to connect to your ISP with the settings that they
provided you.
Change the current network settings such as the Internal IP address, the IP
address pool, DHCP settings, and more.
• Set the Router’s firewall to work with specific applications
(port forwarding).
• Set up security features such as client restrictions and MAC
address filtering.
• Enable the DMZ feature for a single computer on your network.
• Change the Router’s internal password.
• Enable/Disable UPnP (Universal Plug-and-Play).
• Reset the Router.
• Back up your configuration settings.
• Reset the Router’s default settings.
• Update the Router’s firmware.
Step 1: Connecting your Gateway/Router
1.1 Turn off the power to your modem by unplugging the power supply
from the modem.
1.2 Locate the network cable that is connected between your modem and your
computer and unplug it from your computer, leaving the other end
connected to your modem.
1.3 Plug the loose end of the cable you just unplugged into the port on the back
of the Router labeled “Internet/WAN”.
1.4 Connect a new network cable (not included) from the back of the
computer to one of the ports labeled “1–4”.
NOTE:
It does not matter which numbered port you choose.
1.5 Turn your cable or DSL modem on by reconnecting the power supply to
the modem.
