Chapter 5: Setting Up and Configuring the Router

Overview

The Router comes with a Web-based Utility that allows for easy set up and configuration. This chapter will explain all of the functions in this Utility. (You can access the web-based utility by accessing 192.168.1.1.)

There are eleven main tabs in the Utility: System Summary, Setup, DHCP, System Management, Port Management, Firewall, VPN, Log, Wizard, Support, and Logout. Sub-tabs are available when you click one of the main tabs. The tabs are described below:

System Summary Tab

The System Summary Tab displays the Router’s current status and settings. This information is read only. Some words are underlined on this screen and, if you click them, will take you to the Utility page appropriate for that word.

Setup Tab

From this tab, you can set the basic settings on your network. The screens available from this tab include:

•Network. Enter the Internet connection and network settings on this screen.

•Password. From this screen, you can change the Router’s password on this screen. For network security, you should always change the password from its default setting.

•Time. Change the time shown on the network from this screen.

•DMZ Host. The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one network PC to be exposed to the Internet to use special-purpose services such as Internet gaming or video conferencing.

•Forwarding. Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. You may use this function to establish a Web server or FTP server via an IP Gateway.

•UPnP. UPnP forwarding, set up on this screen, can be used to set up public services on your network.

•One-to-One NAT. Like the DMZ feature, One-to-One NAT opens the NAT firewall for one computer, but does it only for one Internet address. This feature is administered through this screen.
