Quick Setup Wizard (Chapter 1)

Broadband Router’s DHCP server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically. To see if you have obtained an IP address, see Appendix A.

Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. If there is another DHCP on your network, then you’ll need to switch one of the DHCP servers off. (To disable the Broadband router’s DHCP server see chapter 2 LAN Port)

4)Once your PC has obtained an IP address from your router, enter the default IP address 192.168.2.1 (broadband router’s IP address) into your PC’s web browser and press <enter>

5)The login screen below will appear. Enter the “User Name” and “Password” and then click <OK> to login.

Note: By default the user name is “admin” and the password is “1234”. For security reasons it is recommended that you change the password as soon as possible (in General setup/system/password, see chapter 2)

6)The HOME page screen below will appear. The Home Page is divided into four sections, Quick Setup Wizard, General Setup, Status Information and Tools.

Quick Setup Wizard (Chapter 1)

If you only want to start using the broadband router as an Internet Access device then you ONLY need to configure the screens in the Quick Setup Wizard section.

General Setup (Chapter 2)

If you want to use more advanced features that the broadband router has to offer, then you’ll need to configure the Quick Setup Wizard and the General Setup section. Alternatively, you can just configure the General Setup section, since the General Setup/WAN and the Quick Setup Wizard contain the same configurations.

You can assign priority for each type of application and reserve bandwidth for it. The packets of applications with higher priority will always go first. Lower priority applications will get bandwidth after higher priority applications get enough bandwidth. This can let you have a better experience in using critical real time services like Internet phone, video conference …etc. All the applications not specified by you are classified as rule name “Others”. The rule with smaller priority number has higher priority the rule with larger priority number has lower priority. You can adjust the priority of the rules by moving them up or down Enable/Disable QoS Add a QoS rule into the table QoS Rule rule and click “Move Down” to make its priority lowerThe name of this rule Select the WAN ports that the packets matchingBandwidth Source AddressSource MAC Address Source IP AddressReset ApplyDefault Domain Name Server DNS addressSecondary DNS Address optional Enable/Disable Password/KeyProvider DynDNS2.3 LAN LAN IPIP Address Pool Lease TimeDomain Name 192.168.2.100 to End IP 192.168.2.199 .
