Position Your Gateway
The gateway lets you access your network anywhere within the operating range of your wireless network. However, the operating distance or range of your wireless connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your gateway. For example, the thickness and number of walls the wireless signal passes through can limit the range.
Additionally, other wireless access points in and around your home might affect your gateway’s signal. Wireless access points are gateways, repeaters, WiFi range extenders, or any other device that emits a wireless signal for network access.
Position your gateway according to the following guidelines:
•
Place your gateway near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and within line of sight to your wireless devices.
•
Make sure that the gateway is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
•
Place the gateway in an elevated location, minimizing the number walls and ceilings between the gateway and your other devices.
•

Port Forwarding Overview
Port forwarding allows you to forward incoming traffic from the outside network, to a range of
WAN ports on an IP address on the LAN. You can also enable traffic from local network to a specified port range to be allowed to go outside of the network in medium firewall settings.
All the settings on this page are associated with a Service Profile in the Current Profile drop-down list. If no profile has been created, the default profile is used.
To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs.
You usually can determine this information by contacting the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups.
A typical application of port forwarding occurs when a remote computer’s browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the gateway, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at 192.168.1.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:
ADSL2+ Gateway
1.
The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your gateway. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information:
Destination address. The IP address www.example.com, which is the gateway’s address.
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.
The remote computer then sends this request message through the Internet to your gateway.
2.
Your gateway receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your gateway modifies the destination information in the request message:
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123.
Your gateway then sends this request message to your local network.
3.
Your web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends the gateway a reply message.
4.
Your gateway performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com.
Port Forwarding to Permit External Host Communications
In both the preceding examples, your computer initiates an application session with a server computer on the Internet. However, you might need to allow a client computer on the Internet to initiate a connection to a server computer on your network. Normally, your gateway ignores any inbound traffic that is not a response to your own outbound traffic. You can configure exceptions to this default rule by using the port forwarding feature.
A typical application of port forwarding can be shown by reversing the client-server relationship from the previous web server example. In this case, a remote computer’s browser needs to access a web server running on a computer in your local network. Using port forwarding, you can tell the gateway, “When you receive incoming traffic on port 80 (the standard port number for a web server process), forward it to the local computer at
192.168.1.123.” The following sequence shows the effects of the port forwarding rule you have defined:
1.
The user of a remote computer opens a browser and requests a web page from www.example.com, which resolves to the public IP address of your gateway. The remote computer composes a web page request message with the following destination information:
Destination address. The IP address of www.example.com, which is the address of your gateway.
Destination port number. 80, which is the standard port number for a web server process.
ADSL2+ Gateway
The remote computer sends this request message through the Internet to your gateway.
2.
Your gateway receives the request message and looks in its rules table for any rules covering the disposition of incoming port 80 traffic. Your port forwarding rule specifies that incoming port 80 traffic should be forwarded to local IP address 192.168.1.123. Therefore, your gateway modifies the destination information in the request message:
The destination address is replaced with 192.168.1.123.
Your gateway then sends this request message to your local network.
3.
Your web server at 192.168.1.123 receives the request and composes a return message with the requested web page data. Your web server then sends this reply message to your gateway.
4.
Your gateway performs Network Address Translation (NAT) on the source IP address, and sends this request message through the Internet to the remote computer, which displays the web page from www.example.com.
To configure port forwarding, you need to know which inbound ports the application needs. To find out, contact the publisher of the application or the relevant user groups or news groups.
Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers
Using the port forwarding feature, you can allow certain types of incoming traffic to reach servers on your local network. For example, you might want to make a local web server, FTP server, or game server visible and available to the Internet.
Use the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering page to configure the gateway to forward specific incoming protocols to computers on your local network. In addition to servers for specific applications, you can also specify a default DMZ server to which all other incoming protocols are forwarded.
Before starting, you need to determine which type of service, application, or game you want to provide, and the local IP address of the computer that will provide the service. The server computer has to always have the same IP address.
Tip:
To ensure that your server computer always has the same IP address, use the reserved IP address feature of your product.
Add a Port Forwarding Rule
You can select an existing service or rule, or you can create a new custom rule.

Set Up a Default DMZ Host
The default DMZ Host 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.
ADSL2+ Gateway
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 have configured in the Port
Forwarding/Port Triggering page. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have the gateway forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.
To set up a DMZ host:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the network.

Specify the IP Addresses that the Gateway Assigns
By default, the gateway acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. The gateway assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the gateway.
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the gateway’s LAN IP address. Using the default addressing scheme, define a range between 192.168.0.2 and
192.168.0.254, although you can save part of the range for devices with fixed addresses.

The gateway comes with preset security. This means that the WiFi network name (SSID), network key (password), and security option (encryption protocol) are preset in the factory.
You can find the preset SSID and password on the product label.
ADSL2+ Gateway
Note:
The preset SSID and password are uniquely generated for every device to protect and maximize your wireless security.
It is recommended that you do not change your preset security settings .
If you change your preset security settings, make a note of the new settings and store it in a safe place where you can easily find it.
If you use a wireless computer to change the wireless network name (SSID) or other wireless security settings, you are disconnected when you click the
Apply
button. To avoid this problem, use a computer with a wired connection to access the gateway.
To specify basic wireless settings:

6.
To change the wireless channel, select a number in the
Channel
list.
In some regions, not all channels are available. Do not change the channel unless you experience interference (shown by lost connections or slow data transfers). If this happens, experiment with different channels to see which is the best.
When you use multiple access points, it is better if adjacent access points use different channels to reduce interference. The recommended channel spacing between adjacent access points is four channels (for example, use Channels 1 and 5, or 6 and 10).
7.
Click the
Apply
button.
Your settings are saved.
If you connected wirelessly to the network and you changed the SSID, you are disconnected from the network.

If you cannot connect wirelessly, check the following:
ADSL2+ Gateway
•
Is your computer or wireless device connected to another wireless network in your area? Some wireless devices automatically connect to the first open network without wireless security that they discover.
•
Is your computer or wireless device trying to connect to your network with its old settings (before you changed the settings)? If so, update the wireless network selection in your computer or wireless device to match the current settings for your network.
Change the WiFi Security Settings
Your gateway comes with preset WPA2 or WPA security. The password that you enter to connect to your network is unique to your gateway and is on the product label. NETGEAR recommends that you use the preset security, but you can change them. NETGEAR recommends that you do not disable security.

Dynamic DNS
Internet service providers (ISPs) assign numbers called IP addresses to identify each
Internet account. Most ISPs use dynamically assigned IP addresses. This means that the IP address can change at any time. You can use the IP address to access your network remotely, but most people don’t know what their IP addresses are or when this number changes.
To make it easier to connect, you can get a free account with a Dynamic DNS service that lets you use a domain name to access your home network. To use this account, you must set up the gateway to use Dynamic DNS. Then the gateway notifies the Dynamic DNS service provider whenever its IP address changes. When you access your Dynamic DNS account, the service finds the current IP address of your home network and automatically connects you.
If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address (such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), the Dynamic
DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Specify a DNS Account

Wall-Mount the Gateway
B
This appendix describes how to wall-mount the gateway.
The gateway lets you access your network from anywhere within the operating range of your
WiFi network. However, the operating distance or range of your WiFi connection can vary significantly depending on the physical placement of your gateway. For example, the thickness and number of walls the WiFi signal passes through can limit the range.
For best results, place your gateway according to the following guidelines:
•
Place your gateway on an upper floor of a multifloor home or office.
•
Place your gateway close to a window but avoiding direct sunlight. A window location gives the best conditions for receiving a strong 4G LTE signal.
•
Place your gateway near the center of the area where your computers and other devices operate, and within line of sight to your wireless devices.
•
Make sure that the gateway is within reach of an AC power outlet and near Ethernet cables for wired computers.
•
Place the gateway in an elevated location, minimizing the number of walls and ceilings between the gateway and your other devices.
•
Place the gateway away from electrical devices such as these:
-
Ceiling fans
-
Home security systems
-
Microwaves
-
Computers
-
Base of a cordless phone
-
2.4 GHz cordless phone
•
Place the gateway away from large metal surfaces, large glass surfaces, and insulated walls such as these:
-
Solid metal doors
-
Aluminum studs
-
Fish tanks
-
Mirrors
-
Brick
ADSL2+ Gateway
-
Concrete
To wall-mount the gateway:
1.
Drill holes in the wall where you want to wall-mount the gateway.
Holes must be 6-9/16 in.
(167 cm) center to center .
2.
Install wall anchors in the holes.
3.
Use pan head Phillips wood screws, 3.5 x 20 mm (diameter x length, European) or No. 6 type screws, 1" inch long (U.S.).
4.
Insert screws into the wall anchors, leaving 1/8 inch (3 mm) of each screw exposed.
