Getting started

This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet.

1)Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).

2)You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you have already configured your PC to obtain an IP automatically then proceed to step 3, page 11)

Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically

By default the broadband router’s DHCP is on, this means that you can obtain an IP address automatically once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This section will show you how to configure your PC’s so that it can obtain an IP address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating systems.

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 ApplySecondary DNS Address optional DefaultDomain Name Server DNS address 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 .
