Open a web browser on your PC and type

http://192.168.1.1.

The window will ask for

typing username and password.

2.

type any word (both username and password are Null for user operation) on the

window and click

Login

on the window.

Now, the

Main Screen

will appear. Be aware that “User mode” will be displayed on the

bottom left side.

3.1 Internet Access

Quick Start Wizard

offers user an easy method to quick setup the connection mode for the

router. Moreover, if you want to adjust more settings for different WAN modes, please go to

Internet Access

group.

3.1.1 Basics of Internet Protocol (IP) Network

IP means Internet Protocol. Every device in an IP-based Network including routers, print

server, and host PCs, needs an IP address to identify its location on the network. To avoid

address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre

(NIC). Having a unique IP address is mandatory for those devices participated in the public

network but not in the private TCP/IP local area networks (LANs), such as host PCs under the

management of a router since they do not need to be accessed by the public. Hence, the NIC

has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as

private

IP addresses, and are listed in the following ranges:

From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255

From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255

From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

What are Public IP Address and Private IP Address

As the router plays a role to manage and further protect its LAN, it interconnects groups of

host PCs. Each of them has a private IP address assigned by the built-in DHCP server of the

Vigor router. The router itself will also use the default

private IP

address: 192.168.1.1 to

communicate with the local hosts. Meanwhile, Vigor router will communicate with other

network devices through a

public IP

address. When the data flow passing through, the

Network Address Translation (NAT) function of the router will dedicate to translate

public/private addresses, and the packets will be delivered to the correct host PC in the local

area network. Thus, all the host PCs can share a common Internet connection.

Get Your Public IP Address from ISP

In ADSL deployment, the PPP (Point to Point)-style authentication and authorization is

required for bridging customer premises equipment (CPE). Point to Point Protocol over

Ethernet (PPPoE) connects a network of hosts via an access device to a remote access

concentrator or aggregation concentrator. This implementation provides users with significant

ease of use. Meanwhile it provides access control, billing, and type of service according to

user requirement.

When a router begins to connect to your ISP, a serial of discovery process will occur to ask for

a connection. Then a session will be created. Your user ID and password is authenticated via

PAP

or

CHAP

with

RADIUS

authentication system. And your IP address, DNS server, and

other related information will usually be assigned by your ISP.

Below shows the menu items for

Internet Access

.

3.1.2 PPPoE

To choose PPPoE as the accessing protocol of the internet, please select

PPPoE

from the

Internet Access

menu. The following web page will be shown.

WAN Connection

Detection

Such function allows you to verify whether network connection

is alive or not through ARP Detect or Ping Detect.

Idle Timeout

– Set the timeout for breaking down the Internet after

passing through the time without any action.

IP Address

Assignment Method

(IPCP)

Usually ISP dynamically assigns IP address to you each time you

connect to it and request. In some case, your ISP provides service

to always assign you the same IP address whenever you request.

In this case, you can fill in this IP address in the Fixed IP field.

Please contact your ISP before you want to use this function.

WAN IP Alias

- If you have multiple public IP addresses and would

like to utilize them on the WAN interface, please use WAN IP Alias.

Type the MAC address for the router

manually.

After finishing all the settings here, please click

OK

to activate them.

3.1.3 Static or Dynamic IP

For static IP mode, you usually receive a fixed public IP address or a public subnet, namely

multiple public IP addresses from your DSL or Cable ISP service providers. In most cases, a

Cable service provider will offer a fixed public IP, while a DSL service provider will offer a

public subnet. If you have a public subnet, you could assign an IP address or many IP address

to the WAN interface.

To use

Static or Dynamic IP

as the accessing protocol of the internet, please choose

Static or

Dynamic IP

mode from

Internet Access

menu. The following web page will be shown.
