N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router DGND3300v2 User Manual

Internet IP Address

. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your IP

address. Your ISP automatically assigns these addresses.

•

Use Static IP Address

. Enter the IP address that your ISP assigned.

Also enter the IP subnet mask and the gateway IP address. The

gateway is the N300 Wireless Dual Band ADSL2+ Modem Router

DGND3300v2.

•

Use IP Over ATM (PoA)

. This option is only available if your ISP does

not require a log in.

Domain Name Server (DNS)

Address

The DNS server is used to look up site addresses based on their names.

•

Get Automatically from ISP

. Your ISP uses DHCP to assign your DNS

servers. Your ISP automatically assigns this address.

•

Use These DNS Servers

. If you know that your ISP does not

automatically transmit DNS addresses to the N300 wireless modem

router during login, select this option, and enter the IP address of your

ISP’s primary DNS server. If a secondary DNS server address is

available, enter it also.

NAT (Net Address Translation)

NAT automatically assigns private IP addresses (10.1.1.x) to

LAN-connected devices.

•

Enable

. Usually NAT is enabled.

•

Disable

. This disables NAT, but leaves the firewall active. Disable NAT

only if you are sure that you do not require it. When NAT is disabled,

only standard routing is performed by this router. Classical routing lets

you directly manage the IP addresses that the N300 wireless modem

router uses. Classical routing should be selected only by experienced

users

a

.

•

Disable firewall

. This disables the firewall in addition to disabling NAT.

With the firewall disabled, the protections usually provided to your

network are disabled.

This field

appears only

if your ISP

does not

require a

login.

Router MAC

Address

is also referred to as the computer’s MAC (Media Access Control)

address.

•

Use Default MAC Address

. This is the usual setting.

•

Use Computer MAC address.

If your ISP requires MAC

authentication, you can use this setting to disguise the N300 wireless

modem router’s MAC address with the computer’s own MAC address.

•

Use This MAC Address

. If your ISP requires MAC authentication, you

can manually type the MAC address for a different computer. The

format for the MAC address is XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX.

a. Disabling NAT reboots the N300 wireless modem router and resets its configuration settings to the factory

defaults. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the N300 wireless modem router in a setting where you will be

manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router.

Configuring ADSL Settings

Note:

For information about how to install ADSL filters, see the

Setup

Manual

.

NETGEAR recommends that you use the Setup Wizard to automatically detect and configure

your ADSL settings. This usually works fine. However, if you have technical experience and

are sure of the multiplexing method and virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier

(VPI) and virtual channel identifier (VCI), you can specify those settings here.

Note:

NETGEAR recommends using the Setup Wizard to automatically

configure the ADSL settings.

If your ISP provided you with a multiplexing method or VPI/VCI number, then enter the

setting:

1.

From the main menu, select

ADSL Settings

to display the ADSL Settings screen.

Protecting your network

For a wireless connection, the SSID, also called the wireless network name, and the wireless

security setting must be the same for the N300 wireless modem router and wireless

computers or wireless adapters. NETGEAR strongly recommends that you use wireless

security.

WARNING!

Computers can connect wirelessly at a range of several hundred

feet. This can allow others outside of your immediate area to

access your network.
