After finished basic configuration of the router, you can access Internet with ease. For the
people who want to adjust more setting for suiting his/her request, please refer to this chapter
for getting detailed information about the advanced configuration of this router. As for other
examples of application, please refer to chapter 4.
3.1 WAN
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
WAN
group and click the
Internet Access
link.
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 General Setup
This section will introduce some general settings of Internet and explain the connection
modes for WAN1 and WAN2 in details.
This router supports dual WAN function. It allows users to access Internet and combine the
bandwidth of the dual WAN to speed up the transmission through the network. Each WAN
port can connect to different ISPs, Even if the ISPs use different technology to provide
telecommunication service (such as DSL, Cable modem, etc.). If any connection problem
occurred on one of the ISP connections, all the traffic will be guided and switched to the
normal communication port for proper operation. Please configure WAN1 and WAN2
settings.
This webpage allows you to set general setup for WAN1 and WAN respectively.
Note:
In default, WAN1 and WAN2 are enabled.
Enable
Choose
Yes
to invoke the settings for this WAN interface.
Choose No to disable the settings for this WAN interface.
Display Name
Type the description for the WAN1/WAN2 interface.
Physical Mode
For WAN1, the physical connection is done through ADSL
port; yet the physical connection for WAN2 is done through
an Ethernet port (P1). You cannot change it.

Physical Type
You can change the physical type for WAN2 or choose
Auto
negotiation
for determined by the system.
Load Balance Mode
If you know the practical bandwidth for your WAN interface,
please choose the setting of
According to Line Speed
.
Otherwise, please choose
Auto Weigh
to let the router reach
the best load balance.
Line Speed
If your choose
According to Line Speed
as the
Load
Balance Mode
, please type the line speed for downloading
and uploading through WAN1/WAN2. The unit is kbps.
Active Mode
Choose
Always On
to make the WAN connection
(WAN1/WAN2) being activated always; or choose
Active on
demand
to make the WAN connection (WAN1/WAN2)
activated if it is necessary.
If you choose Active on demand, the Idle Timeout will be
available for you to set for PPPoE and PPTP access modes in
the Details Page of
WAN>>Internet Access
. In addition,
there are three selections for you to choose for different
purposes.
WAN2 Fail
– It means the connection for WAN1 will be
activated when WAN2 is failed.
WAN2 Upload speed exceed XX kbps
– It means the
connection for WAN1 will be activated when WAN2 Upload
speed exceed certain value that you set in this box for 15
seconds.
WAN2 Download speed exceed XX kbps
– It means the
connection for WAN1 will be activated when WAN2
Download speed exceed certain value that you set in this box
for 15 seconds.
WAN1 Fail
– It means the connection for WAN2 will be
activated when WAN1 is failed.
WAN1 Upload speed exceed XX kbps
– It means the
connection for WAN2 will be activated when WAN1 Upload
speed exceed certain value that you set in this box for 15
seconds.
WAN1 Download speed exceed XX kbps
– It means the
connection for WAN2 will be activated when WAN1
Download speed exceed certain value that you set in this box
for 15 seconds.

3.1.3 Internet Access
For the router supports dual WAN function, the users can set different WAN settings (for
WAN1/WAN2) for Internet Access. Due to different physical mode for WAN1 and WAN2,
the Access Mode for these two connections also varies slightly.
Index
It shows the WAN modes that this router supports. WAN1 is the
default WAN interface for accessing into the Internet. WAN2 is
the optional WAN interface for accessing into the Internet when
WAN 1 is inactive for some reason.
Display Name
It shows the name of the WAN1/WAN2 that entered in general
setup.
Physical Mode
It shows the physical port for WAN1/WAN2.
Access Mode
Use the drop down list to choose a proper access mode. The details
page of that mode will be popped up. If not, click Details Page for
accessing the page to configure the settings.
There are three access modes provided for PPPoE, Static or
