Understanding the Web-Based Advanced User Interface
The home page is the first page you will see when you access the Advanced
User Interface (UI). The home page shows you a quick view of the Router’s
status and settings. All advanced setup pages can be reached from this page.
1.
Quick-Navigation Links
You can go directly to any of the Router’s advanced UI pages by clicking
directly on these links. The links are divided into logical categories
and grouped by tabs to make finding a particular setting easier to
find. Clicking on the purple header of each tab will show you a short
description of the tab’s function.
2.
Home Button
The home button is available in every page of the UI. Pressing this button
will take you back to the home page.
3.
Internet Status Indicator
This indicator is visible in all pages of the Router, indicating the
connection status of the Router. When the indicator says “connection
OK” in GREEN, the Router is connected to the Internet. When the
Router is not connected to the Internet, the indicator will read “no
connection” in RED. The indicator is automatically updated when
you make changes to the settings of the Router.

Step 4:
Configuring your Router for Connection to your Internet
Service Provider (ISP)
The “Internet/WAN” tab is where you will set up your Router to connect to
your Internet Service Provider (ISP). The Router is capable of connecting to
virtually any ISP’s system provided you have correctly configured the Router’s
settings for your ISP’s connection type. Your ISP connection settings are
provided to you by your ISP. To configure the Router with the settings that
your ISP gave you, click “Connection Type”
(A)
on the left side of the screen.
Select the connection type you use. If your ISP gave you DNS settings,
clicking “DNS”
(B)
allows you to enter DNS address entries for ISPs that
require specific settings. Clicking “MAC Address”
(C)
will let you clone your
computer’s MAC address or type in a specific WAN MAC address, if required
by your ISP. When you have finished making settings, the “Internet Status”
indicator will read “connection OK” if your Router is set up properly.

Setting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) Connection
Type to Dynamic IP
A dynamic connection type is the most common connection type found with
cable modems. Setting the connection type to “dynamic” in many cases is
enough to complete the connection to your ISP. Some dynamic connection types
may require a host name. You can enter your host name in the space provided if
you were assigned one. Your host name is assigned by your ISP. Some dynamic
connections may require that you clone the MAC address of the PC that was
originally connected to the modem.
1.
Host Name
This space is provided to enter a host name that needs to be visible to your
ISP. Enter your host name here and click “Apply Changes”. If your ISP did
not assign you a host name, or you are not sure, leave this blank.
2.
Change WAN MAC Address
If your ISP requires a specific MAC address to connect to the service, you
can enter a specific MAC address or clone the current computer’s MAC
address through this link.
