Your gaming system should now work with all your online games.
Port Triggers
Port Triggering works by sensing when your game sends data out through a specific
port. The outgoing data signals the router to allow the incoming game traffic to be passed
through the firewall on the correct port.
Since the ports are only open when you are
gaming, port triggering is a very secure method for online gaming.
To set up port triggering you need to know what ports your game is using and whether
they use TCP, UDP or both on those ports. Typically this should be included with your
gaming software. If it is not included, try entering the name of your gaming software
followed by “ports used”.
Some games use the same ports for both incoming and outgoing traffic, while other
games use different ports for incoming and outgoing traffic.
Below is an example of setting up the popular game, World of Warcraft for port triggering.
Looking online, we find that World of Warcraft uses the following ports: 1119-1120, 3724,
4000, 6112-6114, and 6881-6999.
We can also find out that these ports are all TCP.
In this case the same ports are used for both incoming and outgoing traffic, so we would

use the same ports as both the triggering port and the target port as shown below.
To setup
port triggering
for World of Warcraft:
1
Launch a Web browser.
2
In the browser address bar, type
and press the
Enter
key.
3
In the Login screen, enter:
default username:
admin
default password:
admin
Both the username and password are case sensitive. The default username and
password are printed on the bottom label of your unit.
4
Click the Login button to access the Cable Modem/Router. The
Status
page
appears.
5
Click
Advanced
in the menu bar.
6
Then click the
Port Triggers
submenu. The
Port Triggers
page appears. Click
Create button to create rules.
7
We will need to setup 5 triggers for World of Warcraft.
The first rule would cover
ports 1119-1120. Enter 1119 in the
Trigger Start Port
field and 1120 in the
Trigger
End Port
field. Since these ports are used to send data both directions enter 1119 in
the
Target Start Port
and 1120 in the
Target End Port
.

Select
TCP
in the
Protocol
drop down menu since these ports use TCP.
9
Enter a name for this rule, for example WOW1. Click
Enable
then click
Apply
. Your
new rule will appear in the table.
10
Repeat steps 7-9 for the next rule.
In this case only one port is used, 3724.
Enter
3724 in the
Trigger Start/End Port
and
Target Start/End Port
fields.
11
Repeat steps 7-9 for the remaining ports that need to be opened.
When you are
complete the table should look like this:
If your online game does not work and you are sure that you entered the correct ports
on the port triggering page, check to see if you have a firewall running on your
computer that is preventing you from playing your online game. This firewall may be
either the built-in Windows firewall or may be part of a third party security package
you are using on your computer. You will need to allow access through these
firewalls to be able to play your online game.

Advanced Settings
Advanced Setup is primarily for technically advanced users. For most people, the
options that are set by default when the Cable Modem/Router is installed are sufficient.
However, those who want or need to change the default settings can do so using the
advanced setup pages in the
Zoom Configuration Manager
.
This chapter includes:
Suggestions for settings that you might want to change
Instructions for launching the Zoom Configuration Manager
program
An overview of the available configuration menus and settings and a guide on
what chapter to go to for more information on each settings.
Changing Default Settings
Here are some reasons why you might want to use the Configuration program to change
the router's default settings.
Your Cable provider instructs you to enable, disable, or change the default settings
for your router
You want to change your router’s password to help prevent hacker attacks.
You want to set up a wireless guest network to give users access to the internet but
not your internal network.
You want to change the default firewall settings to block particular IP addresses and
intrusive hosts.
You want to access your corporate network and need to use the built-in VPN
function.
You wish to control the hours that a user on your network can access the Internet.
