Chapter 1
Introduction to the Router
1.1 Introducing the Wireless ADSL2+ Router
Welcome to the ADSL2+ Router. Your router is an “all-in-one” unit, combining an ADSL
modem, ADSL router and Ethernet network switch, providing everything you need to get
the machines on your network connected to the Internet over your ADSL broadband
connection.
The router complies with ADSL2+ standards for worldwide deployment and supports
downstream rates of up to 24 Mbps and upstream rates of up to 1 Mbps. It is designed for
small office, home office and residential users, enabling even faster speed Internet
connections. User can enjoy ADSL services and broadband multimedia applications such
as interactive gaming, video streaming and real-time audio much easier and faster than
ever before.
The product supports PPPoA (RFC 2364 – PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) over ATM
Adaptation Layer 5), RFC 1483 encapsulation over ATM (bridged or routed), PPP over
Ethernet (RFC 2516), and IPoA (RFC1577) to establish a connection with ISP. The
product also supports VC-based and LLC-based multiplexing.
It is the perfect solution to connect a small group of PCs to a high-speed broadband
Internet connection. Multi-users can have high-speed Internet access simultaneously.
This product also serves as an Internet firewall, protecting your network from being
accessed by outside users. Not only provide the natural firewall function (Network Address
Translation, NAT), it also provides rich firewall features to secure user’s network. All
incoming data packets are monitored and filtered. Besides, it can also be configured to
block internal users from accessing to the Internet.
The product provides two levels of security support. First, it masks LAN users’ IP
addresses which are invisible to outside users on the Internet, making it much more difficult

for a hacker to target a machine on your network. Secondly, it can block and redirect
certain ports to limit the services that outside users can access. For example, to ensure
that games and other Internet applications will run properly, user can open some specific
ports for outside users to access internal services in network.
Integrated DHCP (Dynamic Host Control Protocol) services, client and server, allow
multiple users to get their IP addresses automatically on boot up from the product. Simply
set local machines as a DHCP client to accept a dynamically assigned IP address from
DHCP server and reboot. Each time local machine is powered up; the router will
recognize it and assign an IP address to instantly connect it to the LAN.
For advanced users, Virtual Service function allows the product to provide limited visibility
to local machines with specific services for outside users. An ISP (Internet Service
Providers) provided IP address can be set to the product and then specific services can be
rerouted to specific computers on the local network. For instance, a dedicated web server
can be connected to the Internet via the product and then incoming requests for HTML that
are received by the product can be rerouted to the dedicated local web server, even
though the server now has a different IP address. In this example, the product is on the
Internet and vulnerable to attacks, but the server is protected.
Virtual Server can also be used to re-task services to multiple servers. For instance, the
product can be set to allow separated FTP, Web, and Multiplayer game servers to share
the same Internet-visible IP address while still protecting the servers and LAN users from
hackers.

This protocol is used to enable simple and robust connectivity among stand-alone devices
and PCs from many different vendors. It makes network simple and affordable for users.
UPnP architecture leverages TCP/IP and the Web to enable seamless proximity
networking in addition to control and data transfer among networked devices. With this
feature enabled, users can now connect to Net meeting or MSN Messenger seamlessly.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
Allows multi-users to access outside resources such as the Internet simultaneously with
one IP address/one Internet access account. Many application layer gateway (ALG) are
supported such as web browser, ICQ, FTP, Telnet, E-mail, News, Net2phone, Ping,
NetMeeting, IP phone and others.

Domain Name System (DNS) relay
Provides an easy way to map the domain name (a friendly name for users such as
www.yahoo.com) and IP address. When a local machine sets its DNS server with this
router’s IP address, every DNS conversion request packet from the PC to this router will
be forwarded to the real DNS in the outside network.
Dynamic Domain Name System (DDNS)
The Dynamic DNS service allows you to alias a dynamic IP address to a static hostname.
This dynamic IP address is the WAN IP address. For example, to use the service, you
must first apply for an account from a DDNS service like http://www.dyndns.org/.
Virtual Server
User can specify some services to be visible from outside users. The router can detect
incoming service request and forward it to the specific local computer to handle it. For
example, user can assign a PC in LAN acting as WEB server inside and expose it to the
outside network. Outside user can browse inside web server directly while it is protected
by NAT. A DMZ host setting is also provided to a local computer exposed to the outside
network, Internet.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) client and server
In the WAN site, the DHCP client can get an IP address from the Internet Service Provider
(ISP) automatically. In the LAN site, the DHCP server can allocate a range of client IP
addresses and distribute them including IP address, subnet mask as well as DNS IP
address to local computers. It provides an easy way to manage the local IP network.
RIP1/2 Routing
Supports RIP1/2 routing protocol for routing capability.
Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP)
It is an easy way to remotely manage the router via SNMP.
Web based GUI

2.5 Cabling
One of the most common causes of problems is bad cabling or ADSL line(s). Make sure
that all connected devices are turned on. On the front of the product is a bank of LEDs.
Verify that the LAN Link and ADSL line LEDs are lit. If they are not, verify that you are
using the proper cables.
Ensure that all other devices connected to the same telephone line as your router (e.g.
telephones, fax machines, analogue modems) 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 ensure that all line filters are correctly installed and
the right way around. Missing line filters or line filters installed the wrong way around can
cause problems with your ADSL connection, including causing frequent disconnections.

Basic Installation
The router can be configured through your web browser. A web browser is included as a
standard application in the following operating systems: Windows 98/XP/Vista/7, Mac OS,
Linux, etc. The product provides a very 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.
NOTE
Make sure your PC’s Ethernet adapter is set to obtain an IP address automatically. Please
refer to your operating system documentation for more information.
