INTRODUCTION
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™
4-Port Broadband Router, Model 524957.
Combining a router, rewall and four-port Fast Ethernet switch, this
handy device lets you experience fast speeds as you surf the Web,
download music or photos, and play online games. A DHCP server
that automatically assigns IP addresses to users on the LAN — plus
UPnP that supports gaming — makes this the perfect router for the
home network.
Keeping intruders out of your network can be a challenge, but this
feature-rich router is designed to make that task easier. It includes a
true rewall that secures your network against hackers. With Network
Address Translation (NAT) to shield your networked devices from
intruders plus content control using URL and MAC ltering, you can
rest assured that you have taken the necessary precautions to protect
the data on your network.
The easy-to-follow instructions in this user manual help make setup
and operation quick and simple, so you’ll also soon be enjoying the
benets of these additional features:
• Integrated 10/100 Mbps LAN switch with Auto MDI/MDI-X support
• Supports virtual server and DMZ (demilitarized zone)
• Supports DDNS (dynamic DNS)
• Supports VPN pass-through (PPTP, L2TP)
• QoS (Quality of Service) bandwidth management
• VPN Pass Through (PPTP, IPSec, L2TP)
• DHCP server supports static lease management
• Supports remote management
• Supports static routing
• Firmware updates via Web-based user interface
• Three-Year Warranty
Package Contents
• 4-Port Broadband Router
• User manual on CD, plus quick installation guide
• RJ45 Ethernet cable: 1.0 m (3 ft.)

HARDWARE INSTALLATION
1 HARDWARE INSTALLATION
Using the included RJ45 Ethernet cable (and more, as needed), make
your 4-Port Broadband Router network connections by following the
steps below and referring to the Port and LED descriptions (presented
from left to right).
1. Turn off all devices to be incorporated into the network, including
any PCs, switches/hubs, the modem and the router.
2. Connect the LAN or Ethernet network port of the cable/DSL modem
to the router’s WAN port.
3. Connect PCs (and any switch/hub used to expand the network) to
the router’s LAN ports.
4. Turn on the cable/DSL modem.
5. Use the included power adapter to connect the router to an AC
outlet.
6. Turn on the PC you’ll be using to congure the router.
1.1 Rear Panel Ports & Jacks
WAN — This 10/100Mbps port connects the cable/DSL modem.
PC1-4 — These four LAN ports connect networked devices, such as
PCs, print servers and remote hard drives. If you connect a LAN
port to a switch or hub, check that both the device’s Power LED
and the router’s corresponding PC/LAN LED (see below) light to
conrm the connection.
Reset — Push this recessed button to clear all established router
conguration settings and reset to the factory default settings. See
Section 3: Restore Defaults.
PWR — This jack is for the included external 9 V DC, 500 mA power
adapter.

1.2 Front Panel LEDs
PWR — This lights when the router is turned on.
4-1 — These correspond to the four LAN ports on the router’s rear
panel. Lighted indicates a successful connection; blinking means
data is being transmitted or received through that port.
WAN — Lighted indicates a successful Internet connection; blinking
indicates data is being transmitted or received through that port.
2 NETWORK SETTINGS
To congure the router using a Web browser-based conguration utility,

the router via the Ethernet. This 4-Port Broadband Router is congured
with the default IP address of 192.168.2.1 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0, and its DHCP server is enabled by default.

2.2 Conrming the Connection
Once the conguration for obtaining an IP address is complete, you
can use the ping command to verify that the computer is able to
communicate with the router. Open the DOS window (as detailed below)
and ping the IP address of the router at the DOS prompt.
• For Windows 98SE / Me: Click “Start,” then “Run”; enter “command”
and click “OK.”
• For Windows 2000 / XP / Vista / 7: Click “Start,” then “Run”; enter
“cmd” and click “OK.”
If the Command window returns something similar to the lines below,
the connection between the router and your computer has been
successfully established.

If the computer fails to connect to the router, the Command window
will return the following (which indicates that the computer network
settings and cable connections between the router and the computer
should be checked):
Remember, in order for your network to operate properly, the router
needs to be congured through your Web browser, as explained in
the folowing section.

2.3 Logging In to the Web Browser
1. Open a Web browser (Microsoft Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari,
etc.) on the computer you’ve just connected to the router and enter
the IP address (192.168.2.1) in the address bar.
Press <Enter> on your keyboard to display a login window (below).
2. With the Enter Network Password screen displayed, ll in the “User
Name” and the “Password” elds, using the default values (“admin”
for the username; “1234” for the password) if this is the rst time
you’re logging in and you haven’t changed your security settings
yet (see Section 3.2.1: Management). NOTE: For security reasons,
it’s always recommended that you change the password from the
factory-set default value as soon as you can.

With the user interface displayed, you have the option of proceeding
with the Quick Setup procedure (Section 3.1 below) or selecting any
of the 10 additional menu options (Admin, WAN, etc. — Sections
3.2–3.11), which allow you to modify the default settings to customize
your router and network conguration.
3.1 Quick Setup
The Quick Setup Wizard will guide you through the initial conguration
of the router. It’s best that you follow the Quick Setup Wizard step by
step.

ROUTER SETUP
Dynamic IP Address — This connection type means you obtain an
IP address from your Internet service provider (ISP) automatically.
(ISPs that supply a cable modem always use this.) Click “Next”
to advance to the next screen.
Clone MAC: The WAN port of the router has a unique Media
Access Control (MAC) address assigned to it referred to as
“Default MAC.” The “Clone MAC” option is available for special
situations; for example, since an ISP allows only certain MAC
addresses access to the Internet, selecting “MAC Address”
and clicking “Clone MAC” modies your WAN port’s MAC
address in order to avoid detection of the router, which can
lead to a service disconnect.
Static IP — This connection type allows you to maintain the same
IP address over time (unlike “temporary” dynamic IP addresses
that are assigned with each Internet connection). Click “Next” to
