Manage the WAN Security Settings
The WAN security settings include port scan protection and denial of service (DoS) protection, which can
protect your LAN against attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many others. By
default, DoS protection is enabled and a port scan is rejected.
You can also enable the
modem router
to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.This feature allows
your
modem router
to be discovered. Enable this feature only as a diagnostic tool or if a specific reason
exists.

Set Up a Default DMZ Server
The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing
applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The
modem router
is
programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications
might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if the IP
address for that computer is entered as the default DMZ server.
Warning
DMZ servers pose a security risk. A computer designated as the default DMZ
server loses much of the protection of the firewall and is exposed to exploits
from the Internet. If compromised, the DMZ server computer can be used to
attack other computers on your network.
The
modem router
usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a response
to one of your local computers or a service or application for which you set up a port forwarding or port
triggering rule. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can direct the
modem router
to forward the traffic to
one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.

Manage NAT Filtering
Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the
modem router
processes inbound traffic. Secured
NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might prevent some Internet games,
point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much less
secured firewall but allows almost all Internet applications to work. Secured NAT is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.

Manage the SIP Application-Level Gateway
The application-level gateway (ALG) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is enabled by default for
enhanced address and port translation. However, some types of VoIP and video traffic might not work
well when the SIP ALG is enabled. For this reason, the
modem router
provides the option to disable the
SIP ALG.
To change the default SIP ALG setting:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2.
Type

Manage the
Modem Router
’s LAN IP Address Settings
The
modem router
is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a DHCP
server. The
modem router
’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
Manage the WAN and LAN Network Settings
219
Nighthawk AC1900 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D7000
Page 220 / 312
LAN IP address
. 192.168.0.1 (this is the same as www.routerlogin.net and www.routerlogin.com)
Subnet mask
. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks and are
suitable for most applications. The IP address and subnet mask identify which addresses are local to a
specific device and which must be reached through a gateway or
modem router
.You might want to change
these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that one or more devices on the network use, or if competing
subnets use the same IP scheme.
To change the LAN IP address settings:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
