Introduction the Router
1.1 Introducing the Router
This Router is an economical ADSL2+ router ideal for Home and SOHO users to enjoy improved Wireless
Access Speed with a maximum operational speed of 150Mbps.It delivers the highest level of security with
higher speed and better coverage of wireless-n solutions. With an integrated 802.11n wireless access point, the
router enables faster wireless speeds of up to 150Mbps. The SOHO Firewall is integrated to provide protection
against hacker attacks while the Quality of Service prioritizes queues and traffic for applications such as music
downloads, online gaming, video streaming and file sharing.
Express Internet Access
Complying with worldwide ADSL standards, the Router supports downstream data transmission rates of up to
12/24 Mbps with ADSL2/2+, 8 Mbps with ADSL, and performs at upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. Moreover, the
Router includes Annex M technology that supports the latest ADSL2/2+ standard for higher upload speeds by
increasing the upstream operation rate to approximately 2.5Mbps (up to 3Mbps under ideal conditions). With
this technology, you can enjoy even higher-speed broadband multimedia applications such as interactive
gaming, video streaming and real-time audios that run faster and easier than ever.
Firewall Security and Smooth Traffic
With the built-in NAT default firewall, the advanced anti-hacker pattern-filtering protection features automatically
detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks. In addition, packet filtering provides high-level security for
access control. Quality of Service control prioritizes the traffic and allows users to enjoy smooth traffic while
running applications such as IPTV, VoIP calls or interactive game through the Internet.
Easy Network Management
The Web-based user interface of the Router makes it extremely easy for users to install and manage the
network. The router supports both DHCP client and server, enabling system administrators to easily integrate
this router into existing network environments, as well as manage IP assignment without having to reconfigure
other stations.
IPv6 Ready - Pathway to the Future
The Router fully supports IPv6 (Internet Protocol Version 6), launched as the current IPv4 range is filling up, and
IPv6 is gradually becoming the indispensable addressing system for savvy cloud computing users. Dual stack
means the router is capable of running IPv4 and IPv6 in parallel during the transition period. With IPv6 enabled
devices, three major transition mechanisms such as Dual-Stack, Dual-Stack Lite, and 6RD (IPv6 rapid
deployment) are supported to be adapted easily into service provider’s IPv4/IPv6 network.

on. On the front panel of the product is a bank of LEDs. Verify that the LAN Link and LEDs are lit. If they are not,
verify that you are using the proper cables.
Make sure that all other devices (e.g. telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) connected to the same
telephone line as your router have a line filter connected between them and the wall socket (unless you are
using a Central Splitter or Central Filter installed by a qualified and licensed electrician), and that all line filters
are correctly installed in a right way. If the line filter is not correctly installed and connected, it may cause
problems to your connection or may result in frequent disconnections.

Chapter 3
Basic Installation
The router can be configured with your web browser. A web browser is included as a standard application in the
following operating systems: Windows XP/Vista/Win7/8, Linux, Mac OS, etc. The product provides an easy and
user-friendly interface for configuration.
3.1 Before Configuration
PCs must have an Ethernet interface installed properly and be connected to the router either directly or through
an external repeater hub, and have TCP/IP installed and configured to obtain an IP address through a DHCP
server or a fixed IP address that must be in the same subnet as the router. The default IP address of the router
is 192.168.1.254 and the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0 (i.e. any attached PC must be in the same subnet, and
have an IP address in the range of 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253). The best and easiest way is to configure the
PC to get an IP address automatically from the router using DHCP. If you encounter any problems accessing the
router’s web interface it may also be advisable to uninstall any kind of software firewall on your PCs, as they
can cause problems accessing the 192.168.1.254 IP address of the router. Users should make their own
decisions on how to best protect their network.
Please follow the steps below for your PC’s network environment installation. First of all, please check your PC’s
network components. The TCP/IP protocol stack and Ethernet network adapter must be installed. If not, please
refer to your Windows-related or other operating system manuals.
Any TCP/IP capable workstation can be used to communicate with or
through the Router. To configure other types of workstations, please consult
the manufacturer’s documentation.

Virtual Circuit: VPI (Virtual Path Identifier) and VCI (Virtual Channel Identifier) define a virtual circuit. VPI, VCI
paire is used to set a PVC
PVC Summary: show the information for each PVC where users can check status of each PVC.
VPI: The valid range for the VPI is 0 to 255. Enter the VPI assigned to you. This field may already be configured.
VCI: The valid range for the VCI is 32 to 65535. Enter the VCI assigned to you. This field may already be
configured.
QoS
ATM QoS: Select the Quality of Service types for this Virtual Circuit. The ATM QoS types include CBR
(Constant Bit Rate), VBR (Variable Bit Rate) and UBR (Unspecified Bit Rate). These QoS types are all
controlled by the parameters specified below, including PCR, SCR and MBS.
Select CBR to specify fixed (always-on) bandwidth for voice or data traffic. Select UBR for applications that are
non-time sensitive, such as e-mail. Select VBR for burst traffic and bandwidth sharing with other applications.
PCR: Divide the DSL line rate (bps) by 424 (the size of an ATM cell) to find the Peak Cell Rate (PCR). This is the
maximum rate at which the sender can send cells.
SCR: The Sustain Cell Rate (SCR) sets the average cell rate (long-term) that can be transmitted.
MBS: Maximum Burst Size (MBS) refers to the maximum number of cells that can be sent at the peak rate. Type
the MBS, which is less than 65535
IPv4/IPv6
IP version: choose IPv4, IPv4/IPv6, IPv6 base on users’ environment.
Here we take IPv4/IPv6 for example, when you just choose IPv4 or IPv6, you can just get information from the
following listed parameters.

Bridge Interface for PPPoE: When “Activated”, the device will gain WAN IP from your ISP with the PPPoE
account. But if your PC is connected to the router working as a DHCP client, in this mode, the device acts as a
NAT router; while if you dial up with the account within your PC, the device will then work as a bridge forwarding
the PPPoE information to the PPPoE server and send the response to your PC, thus your PC gets a WAN IP
working in the internet.
Connection Setting

Management protocol for IPv6 multicast packets.
When router’s Internet configuration is finished successfully, you can go to status to get the connection
information.
41
4.4.1.2 LAN
A Local Area Network (LAN) is a shared communication system to which many computers are attached and is
limited to the immediate area, usually the same building or floor of a building.
IPv6: The IPv6 address composes of two parts, thus, the prefix and the interface ID.
There are two ways to dynamically configure IPv6 address on hosts. One is statefull configuration, for example
using DHCPv6 (which resembles its counterpart DHCP in IPv4.) In the stateful autoconfiguration model, hosts
obtain interface addresses and/or configuration information and parameters from a DHCPv6 server. The Server
maintains a database that keeps track of which addresses have been assigned to which hosts.
The second way is stateless configuration. Stateless auto-configuration requires no manual configuration of
hosts, minimal (if any) configuration of routers, and no additional servers. The stateless mechanism allows a
host to generate its own addresses using a combination of locally available information (MAC address) and
information (prefix) advertised by routers. Routers advertise prefixes that identify the subnet(s) associated with
a link, while hosts generate an "interface identifier" that uniquely identifies an interface on a subnet. An address
is formed by combining the two. When using stateless configuration, you needn’t configure anything on the
client.
42
IPv4 Parameters
IP Address: Enter the IP address of Router in dotted decimal notation, for example, 192.168.1.254 (factory
default).
IP Subnet Mask: The default is 255.255.255.0. User can change it to other such as 255.255.255.128.
Alias IP Address: This is for local networks virtual IP interface. Specify an IP address on this virtual interface.
Alias IP Subnet Mask: Specify a subnet mask on this virtual interface.
IGMP Snooping: Select Activated to enable IGMP Snooping function, Without IGMP snooping, multicast
traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP snooping,
multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.
Dynamic Route: Select the RIP version from RIP1 or RIP2.
DHCPv4 Server
43
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows individual clients to obtain TCP/IP configuration at start-up
from a server.
DHCPv4 Server: If set to Enabled, your Router can assign IP addresses, default gateway and DNS servers to
the DHCP client.
If set to Disabled, the DHCP server will be disabled.
If set to Relay, the Router acts as a surrogate DHCP server and relays DHCP requests and responses
between the remote server and the clients. Enter the IP address of the actual, remote DHCP server in
the Remote DHCP Server field in this case.
When DHCP is used, the following items need to be set.
Start IP: This field specifies the first of the contiguous addresses in the IP address pool.
IP Pool Count: This field specifies the count of the IP address pool.
Lease Time: The current lease time of client.
Physical Ports: Select to determine if the DHCPv4 server is applicable to the specific port or ports. By default,
all ports can obtain local IP from DHCPv4 server.
DNS Relay Select Automatically obtained or Manually set (if selected. Please set the exactly information).
Primary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the DHCP
clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Secondary DNS Server: Enter the IP addresses of the DNS servers. The DNS servers are passed to the
DHCP clients along with the IP address and the subnet mask.
Fixed Host
In this field, users can map the specific IP (must in the DHCP IP pool) for some specific MAC, and this
information can be listed in the following table.
IP Address: Enter the specific IP. For example: 192.168.1.110.
MAC Address: Enter the responding MAC. For example: 00:0A:F7:45:6D:ED
When added, you can see the ones listed as showed below:
IPv6 parameters
Interface Address / Prefix Length: enter the static LAN IPv6 address, we suggest leave the field empty
because when setted wrong, it will result in LAN devices not being able to access other IPv6 device through
internet. Router will take the same WAN’s prefix to LAN side if the field is empty.
MLD Snooping: Similar to IGMP Snooping, but applicable for IPv6.
DHCPv6 Server
DHCPv6 Server: Check whether to enable DHCPv6 server.
DHCPv6 Server Type: Select Stateless or Stateful. When DHCPv6 is enabled, this parameter is available.
Stateless: If selected, the PCs in LAN are configured through RA mode, thus, the PCs in LAN are
configured through RA mode, to obtain the prefix message and generate an address using a
combination of locally available information (MAC address) and information (prefix) advertised by
routers, but they can obtain such information like DNS from DHCPv6 Server.
Stateful: If selected, the PCs in LAN will be configured like in IPv4 mode, thus obtain addresses and
DNS information from DHCPv6 server.
Start interface ID: enter the start interface ID. The IPv6 address composed of two parts, thus, the prefix and the
interface ID. Interface is like the Host ID compared to IPv4.
End interface ID: enter the end interface ID.
Leased Time (hour): the leased time, similar to leased time in DHCPv4, is a time limit assigned to clients, when
expires, the assigned ID will be recycled and reassigned.
44
Issue Router Advertisement: Check whether to enable issue Router Advertisement feature. It is to send
Router Advertisement messages periodically. Router will multicast the v6 Prefix information (similar to v4
network number 192.168.1.0) to all LAN devices if the field is enabled. We suggest enabling this field.
45
4.4.1.3 Wireless
This section introduces the wireless LAN and some basic configurations. Wireless LANs can be as complex as
a number of computers with wireless LAN cards communicating through access points which bridge network
traffic to the wired LAN.
Access Point Settings
Access Point: Default setting is set to Activated. If you want to close the wireless interface, select
Deactivated.
AP MAC Address: The MAC address of wireless AP.
Wireless Mode: The default setting is 802.11b+g+n (Mixed mode). If you do not know or have both 11g and
11b devices in your network, then keep the default in mixed mode. From the drop-down manual, you can select
46
802.11g if you have only 11g card. If you have only 11b card, then select 802.11b and if you only have 802.11n
then select 802.11n.
Channel: The range of radio frequencies used by IEEE 802.11b/g/n wireless devices is called a channel. There
are Regulation Domains and Channel ID in this field. The Channel ID will be different based on Regulation
Domains. Select a channel from the drop-down list box.
Beacon interval: The Beacon Interval value indicates the frequency interval of the beacon. Enter a value
between 20 and 1000. A beacon is a packet broadcast by the Router to synchronize the wireless network.
RTS/CTS Threshold: The RTS (Request To Send) threshold (number of bytes) for enabling RTS/CTS
handshake. Data with its frame size larger than this value will perform the RTS/CTS handshake. Enter a value
between 1500 and 2347.
Fragmentation Threshold: The threshold (number of bytes) for the fragmentation boundary for directed
messages. It is the maximum data fragment size that can be sent. Enter a value between 256 and 2346, even
number only.
DTIM Interval: This value, between 1 and 255, indicates the interval of the Delivery Traffic Indication Message
(DTIM).
TX Power: The transmission power of the antennas, ranging from 1-100, the higher the more powerful of the
transmission performance.
IGMP Snooping: Enable or disable the IGMP Snooping function for wireless. Without IGMP snooping,
multicast traffic is treated in the same manner as broadcast traffic - that is, it is forwarded to all ports. With IGMP
snooping, multicast traffic of a group is only forwarded to ports that have members of that group.”
11n Settings
Channel Bandwidth: Select either 20 MHz, 20 MHz or 20/40 MHz for the channel bandwidth. The wider the
Channel bandwidth the better the performance will be.
Guard Interval: Select either 400nsec or 800nsec for the guard interval. The guard interval is here to ensure
that data transmission do not interfere with each other. It also prevents propagation delays, echoing and
reflections. The shorter the Guard Interval, the better the performance will be. We recommend users to select
Auto.
MCS: There are options 0~15 and AUTO to select for the Modulation and Coding Scheme. We recommend
users selecting AUTO.
SSID Settings
Available SSID: User can determine how many virtual SSIDs to be used. Default is 1, maximum is 4.
SSID Index: Select how many SSIDs you want to lay out. A total of 4 is in list. By default 4 SSIDs are in use.
SSID: The SSID is the unique name of a wireless access point (AP) to be distinguished from another. For
security propose, change the default to a unique ID name to the AP which is already built-in to the router’s
wireless interface. Make sure your wireless clients have exactly the SSID as the device, in order to get
connected to your network.
Broadcast SSID: Select Yes to make the SSID visible so a station can obtain the SSID through passive
scanning. Select No to hide the SSID in so a station cannot obtain the SSID through passive scanning.
SSID Activated: Select the time period during which the SSID is active. Default is always which means the
SSID will be active all the time without time control. See 4.4.2.8 Time Schedule to set the time-slot to flexibly
control when the SSID functions.
WPS Settings
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) feature is a standard protocol created by Wi-Fi Alliance. This feature greatly
simplifies the steps needed to create a Wi-Fi networks for a residential or an office setting. WPS supports 2
types of configuration methods which are commonly known among consumers: PIN Method & PBC Method.
WPS State: Display whether the WPS is configured or unconfigured.
WPS Mode: Select the mode which to start WPS, choose between PIN Code and PBC (Push Button).
47
Selecting Pin Code mode will require you to know the enrollee PIN code.
To future understand the two modes of configuration; please refer to the following Wi-Fi Protected Setup.

52
3. The router’s (AP’s) SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of
the registrar (client).
4. Now to make sure that the setup is correctly done, cross check to see if the SSID and the security setting of
the registrar setting match with the parameters found on both Wireless Configuration and Wireless Security
Configuration page.
53
PBC Method:
1. Press the PBC radio button, Then Start WPS.
2. Launch the wireless client’s WPS Utility (eg. Ralink Utility). Set the Config Mode as Enrollee. Then press the
WPS button and choose the correct AP from the WPS AP List section before pressing the PBC button to run the
scan.
54
3. When the PBC button is pushed, a wireless communication will be established between your router and the
PC. The client’s SSID and security setting will now be configured to match the SSID and security setting of the
router.
55
Security Settings
Security Type: You can disable or enable wireless security for protecting wireless network. The default type of
wireless security is OPEN and to allow all wireless stations to communicate with the access points without any
data encryption.
To prevent unauthorized wireless stations from accessing data transmitted over the network, the router offers
secure data encryption, known as WEP and WPA.
There are five alternatives to select from: WEP 64-bit, WEP 128-bit, WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, Mixed
WPA/WPA2-PSK. If you require high security for transmissions, please select WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK or
WPA/WPA2-PSK.
WEP
WEP Authentication Method: WEP authentication method, there are two methods of authentication used,
Open System authentication (OPENWEB) and Share Key authentication (SHAREDWEB). We suggest you
select OPENWEB.
Key 1 to Key 4: Enter the key to encrypt wireless data. To allow encrypted data transmission, the WEP
Encryption Key values on all wireless stations must be the same as the router. There are four keys for your
selection. The input format is in HEX style, 5 and 13 HEX codes are required for 64-bitWEP and 128-bitWEP
respectively.
If you chose WEP 64-bit, then enter any 5 ASCII characters or 10 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
If you chose WEP 128-bit, then enter 13 ASCII characters or 26 hexadecimal characters ("0-9", "A-F").
You must configure all four keys, but only one key can be activated at any one time. The default key is key 1.
Note: When you enable WPS function, this WEP function will be invalid. And if you select one of WEP-64Bits/
WEP-128Bits, the following prompt box will appear to notice you.
WPA-PSK / WPA2-PSK
WPA Algorithms: TKIP (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol) or AES (Advanced Encryption System) utilizes a
stronger encryption method and incorporates Message Integrity Code (MIC) to provide protection against
hackers.
Pre-Shared key: The key for network authentication. The input format should be 8-63 ASKII characters or 64
hexadecimal characters
Key Renewal Interval: The time interval for changing the security key automatically between wireless client
and AP.
WDS Settings
WDS (Wireless distributed system) is a wireless access point mode that enables wireless link and
communication with other access point. It is easy to be installed, just define the peer’s MAC of the connected
AP.
WDS Mode: select Activated to enable WDS feature and Deactivated to disable this feature.
MAC Address: Enter the AP MAC addresses (in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format) of the peer connected AP.
56
4.4.1.4 Wireless MAC Filter
The MAC filter screen allows you to configure the router to give exclusive access to up to 8 devices (Allow
Association) or exclude up to 8 devices from accessing the router (Deny Association). Every Ethernet device
has a unique MAC (Media Access Control) address. The MAC address is assigned at the factory and consists of
six pairs of hexadecimal characters, for example, 00:AA:BB:00:00:02. You need to know the MAC address of
the devices to configure this screen.
SSID Index: Select the targeted SSID you want the MAC filter rules to apply to.
Active: Select Activated to enable MAC address filtering.
Action: Define the filter action for the list of MAC addresses in the MAC address filter table.
Select Deny to block access to the AP, MAC addresses not listed will be allowed to access the router. Select
Allow to permit access to the router, MAC addresses not listed will be denied access to the router.
MAC Address: Enter the MAC addresses (in XX:XX:XX:XX:XX:XX format) of the wireless station that are
allowed or denied access to the specified in these address fields.
57
4.4.2 Advanced Setup
Advanced Step provides some advanced features including Firewall, Routing, NAT, Static DNS, ADSL, QoS,
Internet Grouping, Time Schedule and Remote System Log for all advanced users. Please move on to have
a picture of what the exact feature is about and how to use it.
58
4.4.2.1 Firewall
Your router includes a firewall for helping to prevent attacks from hackers. In addition to this, when using NAT
(Network Address Translation) the router acts as a “natural” Internet firewall, since all PCs on your LAN use
private IP addresses that cannot be directly accessed from the Internet.
Firewall: To automatically detect and block Denial of Service (DoS) attacks, such as Ping of Death, SYN Flood,
Port Scan and Land Attack.
Enabled: It activates your firewall function.
Disabled: It disables the firewall function.
SPI: If you enabled SPI, all traffics initiated from WAN would be blocked, including DMZ, Virtual Server, and ACL
WAN side.
Enabled: It activates your SPI function.
Disabled: It disables the SPI function.
59
4.4.2.2 Routing
This is static route feature. You are equipped with the capability to control the routing of all the traffic across your
network. With each routing rule created, user can specifically assign the destination where the traffic will be
routed to.
#: Item number
Destination IP Address: IP address of the destination network
Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network.
Gateway IP Address: IP address of the gateway or existing interface that this route uses.
Metric: It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must
be between 1 and 15.
Interface: Media/channel selected to append the route.
Edit: Edit the route; this icon is not shown for system default route.
Drop: Drop the route; this icon is not shown for system default route.
60
ADD Route
Destination IP Address: This is the destination subnet IP address.
Destination Subnet Mask: The subnet mask of destination network.
Gateway IP Address/Interface：This is the gateway IP address or existing interface to which packets are to be
forwarded.
Metric：It represents the cost of transmission for routing purposes. The number need not be precise, but it must
be between 1 and 15.
61
4.4.2.3 NAT
The NAT (Network Address Translation) feature transforms a private IP into a public IP, allowing multiple users
to access the internet through a single IP account, sharing the single IP address. NAT break the originally
envisioned model of IP end-to-end connectivity across the internet so NAT can cause problems where IPSec/
PPTP encryption is applied or some application layer protocols such as SIP phones are located behind a NAT.
And NAT makes it difficult for systems behind a NAT to accept incoming communications.
In this session, there are “VPN Passthrough”, “DMZ/Virtual Server” provided to solve these nasty problems.
NAT Status: Enabled. It depends on ISP Connection Type in Internet settings.
VPN Passthrough: VPN pass-through is a feature of routers which allows VPN client on a private network to
establish outbound VPNs unhindered.
SIP ALG: Enable the SIP ALG when SIP phone needs ALG to pass through the NAT. Disable the SIP ALG
when SIP phone includes NAT-Traversal algorithm.
Interface: Select to set DMZ/Virtual Server for “ADSL(PVC0-PVC7)”.
Click DMZ
or Virtual Server
which are represented in the following scenario.
to move on to set the DMZ or Virtual Server parameters,
62
DMZ
The DMZ Host is a local computer exposed to the Internet. When setting a particular internal IP address as the
DMZ Host, all incoming packets will be checked by the Firewall and NAT algorithms then passed to the DMZ
host, when a packet received does not use a port number used by any other Virtual Server entries.
DMZ for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and communicate.
Note: Here you can see the Single IPs Account/PVC0. It is the interface set in the previous NAT page.
DMZ:
Enabled: It activates your DMZ function.
Disabled: It disables the DMZ function.
DMZ Host IP Address: Give a static IP address to the DMZ Host when Enabled radio button is checked. Be
aware that this IP will be exposed to the WAN/Internet.
Select the Save button to apply your changes.
63
Virtual Server
In TCP/IP networks a port is a 16-bit number used to identify which application program (usually a server)
incoming connections should be delivered to. Some ports have numbers that are pre-assigned to them by the
IANA (the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority), and these are referred to as “well-known ports”. Servers follow
the well-known port assignments so clients can locate them.
If you wish to run a server on your network that can be accessed from the WAN (i.e. from other machines on the
Internet that are outside your local network), or any application that can accept incoming connections (e.g.
Peer-to-peer/P2P software such as instant messaging applications and P2P file-sharing applications) and are
using NAT (Network Address Translation), then you will usually need to configure your router to forward these
incoming connection attempts using specific ports to the PC on your network running the application. You will
also need to use port forwarding if you want to host an online game server.
The reason for this is that when using NAT, your publicly accessible IP address will be used by and point to your
router, which then needs to deliver all traffic to the private IP addresses used by your PCs. Please see the WAN
configuration section of this manual for more information on NAT.
The device can be configured as a virtual server so that remote users accessing services such as Web or FTP
services via the public (WAN) IP address can be automatically redirected to local servers in the LAN network.
Depending on the requested service (TCP/UDP port number), the device redirects the external service request
to the appropriate server within the LAN network.
Virtual Server for: Indicate the related WAN interface which allows outside network to connect in and
communicate.
Protocol: Choose the application protocol.
64
Start Port Number: Enter a port number as the starting number of the range which you want to give access to
internal server.
End Port Number: Enter a port number as the end number of the range which you want to give access to
internal server..
Local IP Address: Enter your server IP address in this field.
Start Port Number (Local): Please enter the start port number of the local application (service).
End Port Number (Local): Please enter the end port number of the local application (service).
Examples of well-known and registered port numbers are shown below. For further information, please see

Some tips for using DMZ and Virtual Server:
Using port forwarding does have security implications, as outside users will
be able to connect to PCs on your network. For this reason you are advised to
use specific Virtual Server entries just for the ports your application requires,
instead of using DMZ. As doing so will result in all connections from the WAN
attempt to access to your public IP of the DMZ PC specified.
Attention
If you have disabled the NAT option in the WAN-ISP section, the Virtual Server
function will hence be invalid.
If the DHCP server option is enabled, you have to be very careful in assigning
the IP addresses of the virtual servers in order to avoid conflicts. The easiest
way of configuring Virtual Servers is to manually assign static IP address to
each virtual server PC, with an address that does not fall into the range of IP
addresses that are to be issued by the DHCP server. You can configure the
virtual server IP address manually, but it must still be in the same subnet as
the router.
66
4.4.2.4 Static DNS
The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical naming system built on a distributed database for computers,
services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network associates various information with
domain names assigned to each of the participating entities. Most importantly, it translates domain names
meaningful to humans into the numerical identifiers associated with networking equipment for the purpose of
locating and addressing these devices worldwide.
An often-used analogy to explain the Domain Name System is that it serves as the phone book for the Internet
by translating human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the domain name
www.example.com can be translated into the addresses 192.0.32.10 (IPv4).
Static DNS is a concept relative to Dynamic DNS, in static DNS system, the IP mapped is static without change.
IP Address: The IP address you are going to give a specific domain name.
Domain Name: The friendly domain name for the IP address.

4.4.2.6 QoS
Quality of Service (QoS) helps to prioritize data as it enters your router. By attaching special identification marks
or headers to incoming packets, QoS determines which queue the packets enter, based on priority. This is
useful when there are certain types of data you want to give higher priority to, such as voice data packets given
higher priority than Web data packets.
The main goal of QoS is prioritizing incoming data, preventing data loss due to factors such as jitter, delay and
dropping. Another important aspect of QoS is ensuring that prioritizing one data flow doesn’t interfere with other
data flows.
QoS can be toggled Activated and Deactivated. QoS must be activated before you can edit the following
options. When you are done making changes, click on Add to save your changes.
Click on QoS Settings Summary to view the list of QoS rules that have been added.
69
QoS: Select to activate QoS configuration..
QoS Schedulng: The Queue Scheduling Algorithm, here supporting WRR (Weighted Round Robin) and SP
(Strict Priority).
WRR: Weighted Round Robin, used to alternate each WRR queue to ensure that every queue can enjoy
its due service time (resource) in accordance with its weight.
SP: Strict Priority; it always sends the packets in queue with higher priority, and under this circumstance,
the packets in lowest-priority queue may be delayed for quite a long time.
WRR Weight: Available only when WRR is used in QoS Scheduling field.
Scheduling Save: To save the strategy set above.
Rule Summary: To view the rule & action setting details.
Rule
You can set 16 different QoS rules. Each QoS rule has its detail setting conditions like: Application, Physical
Ports, MAC, IP, Port, Protocol etc, you can modify the default value to any new one you wish. Please notice that
only when the packet fulfill every detail setting conditions here, then this packet will be remarked as the priority
queue of each rule. The non-selected setting part will be treated as “don’t care” and the system will not handle
this setting part. If the original packet does not have 802.1q tagged header, system will not add header for this
packet even the detail setting condition has adding 802.1p priority ability.
Rule Index: Select 16 different rules, each rule’s detail can be set and saved.
Active: Select QoS is activated or deactivated.
Application: Select the different applications: IGMP, SIP, H.323, MGCP, SNMP, DNS, DHCP, RIP, RSTP, RTCP,

4.4.2.7 Interface Grouping
Interface grouping is a function to group interfaces, known as VLAN. A Virtual LAN, commonly known as a VLAN,
is a group of hosts with the common set of requirements that communicate as if they were attached to the same
broadcast domain, regardless of the physical location. A VLAN has the same attributes as a physical LAN, but it
allows for end stations to be grouped together even if they are not located on the same network switch. Similarly,
they may also have been split into two different groups, even if they are on the same switch.
Each group will perform as an independent network. To support this feature, you must create mapping groups
with appropriate LAN and WAN interfaces using the Save button.
Interface Grouping: Select Yes to enable Interface Grouping feature.
Group Index: The index number indicating the current group ranging from 0 to 15.
ATM PVCs (Virtual Circuit): The available ADSL PVCs. Move to 4.4.1 Interface Setup to add other
ADSL .service
Ethernet LAN: The available Ethernet ports.
Wireless LAN: The available wireless ports.
Group Summary: Press Group Summary to check the current group information.
For example, you can create two ADSL services, Service0(PPPoE) and Service1(Bridge).
72
You are going to group the ports and services into two working group, as shown below.

Click Group Summary to show the configuration results.
73
4.4.2.8 Time Schedule
The Time Schedule supports up to 16 timeslots which helps you to manage your Internet connection. In each
time profile, you may schedule specific day(s) i.e. Monday through Sunday to restrict or allowing the usage of
the Internet by users or applications.
This Time Schedule correlates closely with router’s time, since router does not have a real time clock on board;
it uses the Simple Network Time Protocol (SNTP) to get the current time from an SNTP server from the Internet.
Time Index: The rule index (0-15) for identifying each timeslot.
Name: User-defined identification for each time period.
Day of Week: Mon. to Sun. Specify the time interval for each timeslot from “Day of Week”.
For example, user can add a timeslot named “TimeSlot1” which features a period from 9:00 of Saturday to 18:00
of Sunday.
74
4.4.2.9 Remote System Log

4.4.3.3 Universal Plug & Play
UPnP offers peer-to-peer network connectivity for PCs and other network devices, along with control and data
transfer between devices. UPnP offers many advantages for users running NAT routers through UPnP NAT
Traversal, and on supported systems makes tasks such as port forwarding much easier by letting the
application control the required settings, removing the need for the user to control advanced configuration of
their device.
UPnP: Select this checkbox to activate UPnP. Be aware that anyone could use a UPnP application to open the
web configuration’s login screen without entering the Router IP address
Auto-configured: Select this check box to allow UPnP-enabled applications to automatically configure the
Router so that they can communicate through the Router, for example by using NAT traversal, UPnP
applications automatically reserve a NAT forwarding port in order to communicate with another UPnP enabled
device; this eliminates the need to manually configure port forwarding for the UPnP enabled application.
79
4.4.3.4 Dynamic DNS
The Dynamic DNS function allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname, allowing users whose ISP
does not assign them a static IP address to use a domain name. This is especially useful for hosting servers via your
internet connection, so that anyone wishing to connect to you may use your domain name, rather than having to use
your dynamic IP address, which changes from time to time. This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address of the
router, which is assigned to you by your ISP.
Here users can register different WAN interfaces with different DNS(es). But note that first users have to go to the
Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account.
Dynamic DNS: Select this check box to activate Dynamic DNS.
Service Provider: Select from drop-down menu for the appropriate service provider, for example: www.dyndns.org.
My Host Name: Type the domain name assigned to your Router by your Dynamic DNS provider.
Username: Type your user name.
Password: Type the password.
Wildcard support: Select this check box to enable DYNDNS Wildcard.
Period: Set the time period between updates, for the Router to exchange information with the DDNS server. In
addition to updating periodically as per your settings, the router will perform an update when your dynamic IP address
changes.
80
User can register a DDNS
Examples: Note first users have to go to the Dynamic DNS registration service provider to register an account.
User test1 register a Dynamic Domain Names in DDNS provider http://www.dyndns.org/ .
DDNS: myhome.dyndns.org using username/password myhome-123/myhome-456
81
4.4.3.5 Access Control
Access Control Listing allows you to determine which services/protocols can access Router interface from
which computers. It is a management tool aimed to allow IPs(set in secure IP address) to access specified

4.4.3.7 CWMP (TR-069)
CWMP, short for CPE WAN Management Protocol, also called TR069 is a Broadband Forum technical
specification entitled CPE WAN Management Protocol (CWMP). It defines an application layer protocol for
remote management of end-user devices. It defines an application layer protocol for remote management of
end-user devices.
As a bidirectional SOAP/HTTP based protocol it can provides the communication between customer premises
equipment (CPE) and Auto Configuration Server (ACS). It includes both a safe configuration and the control of
other CPE management functions within an integrated framework. In the course of the booming broadband
market, the number of different internet access possibilities grew as well (e.g. modems, routers, gateways,
set-top box, VoIP-phones).At the same time the configuration of this equipment became more complicated –too
complicated for end-users. For this reason, TR-069 was developed. It provides the possibility of auto
configuration of the access types. Using TR-069 the terminals can get in contact with the Auto Configuration
Servers (ACS) and establish the configuration automatically and let ACS configure CPE automatically.
