Dual Band Wireless VDSL2 + Ethernet Gateway
View or Change the WAN Settings
You can view the wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port. You can set up a
DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable
the gateway to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.
To view or change the WAN settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
www.routerlogin.com
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the gateway user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home screen displays.
4.
Select
Advanced > Setup > WAN Setup
.
5.
View or change the following settings:
•
Enable PPPoE Relay
. Allow a PPPoE client on a local computer to connect to a
remote PPPoE server with the gateway acting as a relay agent.
•
WAN Preference
. By default, this is set to
Auto-Detect
, but you can select
Must use
DSL WAN
or
Must use Ethernet WAN
.
•
Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection
. DoS protection protects your LAN against
denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many
others. Select this check box only in special circumstances.

•
Default DMZ Server
. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online
games or videoconferencing but it makes the firewall security less effective. See
Default DMZ Server
on page
68.
•
Respond to Ping on Internet Port
. This feature allows your gateway to be
discovered. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool or for a specific reason.
•
Disable IGMP Proxying
. IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network
(LAN) to receive multicast traffic from the Internet. If you do not need this feature, you
can select this check box to disable it.
•
MTU Size (in bytes)
. The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most
Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the
MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your Internet connection. See
Default
DMZ Server
on page
68.
•
Disable SIP ALG
. Some VoIP applications do not work well with the SIP ALG.
Selecting this check box to turn off the SIP ALG might help your VoIP devices to
create or accept a call through the gateway.

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 gateway 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 gateway usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a
response to one of your local computers or a service that you configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can specify that the
gateway forwards the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the
default DMZ server.

Click the

button.
Your change is saved.
Change the LAN TCP/IP Settings
The gateway is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act as a
DHCP server. The gateway’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
•
LAN IP address
. 192.168.0.1
•
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. If your network requires a different IP addressing
scheme, you can change these settings.
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 TCP/IP settings:
1.
Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://routerlogin.net
or
www.routerlogin.com
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the gateway user name and password.
The user name is
admin
. The default password is
password
. The user name and
password are case-sensitive.
