ADSL Router Quick Set-up Guide

If there is no designated ADSL jackpoint, any jackpoints may be used. Connect the router directly into a jackpoint, or through the port marked MODEM on a filter.

2.If the router’s DSL light is already on, check if router is on line. Go to the Quick Start menu as described in Section 5 – Getting On-line. If the router reports "Your DSL router is ready to connect", you are not on line. Make sure the user name and password have been entered in the exact format as specified by the ISP.

3.Check the configuration of computer and router. If you still cannot browse, perform a PING test as described in Q1-2, using these addresses:

(A)Ping www.dynalink.com.au (or any valid web address)

(B)Ping 205.178.180.16 (or any valid public IP address)

If both (A) & (B) reported failed response such as "request time out", and you assigned an IP address to your computer manually. Go to Procedure (2) of Section 4. Check that the router’s IP (192.168.1.1) is entered as gateway & DNS. If these settings are correct ping the computer’s IP (eg. Ping 192.168.1.2). If there is still no reply your network card may be faulty.

If (A) fails but (B) shows a response, this is probably a DNS problem. Go to Procedure (2) of Section 4. Enter the router’s IP (192.168.1.1) as DNS.

If both (A) & (B) show a response, your router is actually on line. The problem may be with your browser setting. Try returning any custom settings of the browser to default. If you have a personal firewall, disable it to see if it makes any difference. Also you may try shutting down the computer and restarting.

Q3. Need to install router on a network that uses a different subnet

If the existing network already has a DHCP server, disconnect one computer from the network. Connect the computer to the router. The host computer will be assigned 192.168.1.2. You can change the router’s IP so that it is consistent with the network. Disable DHCP on the router.

Q4. Browsing is fine but I cannot run certain applications.

You need to set up virtual servers or DMZ host. See Section 7 on Firewall & traffic restrictions.

Q5. The router’s IP and/or administrative password have been modified. But the details have now been forgotten.

You can restore the router to factory default by pushing a pin into the hidden reset button located next to the power on/off button at the back of the router. Push and hold for 5 seconds then release to reset router.
