The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN, USB and Reset:

Figure 1.0

1) Local Area Network (LAN)

The Broadband router’s LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches etc.

2) Wide Area Network (WAN)

The WAN ports are the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modems and are linked to the Internet.

3)Reset

The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.

1)If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil tip (for less than 4 seconds) and the router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations.

2)If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot your password, press the reset button for longer than 4 seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings (warning: your original configurations will be replaced with the factory default settings)

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 downEnable/Disable QoS Add a QoS rule into the table rule and click “Move Down” to make its priority lower QoS RuleThe name of this rule Select the WAN ports that the packets matchingSource Address BandwidthSource MAC Address Source IP AddressApply Reset2.2.9 DNS ParametersDomain Name Server DNS address DefaultSecondary DNS Address optional 2.2.10 DDNSPassword/Key Enable/DisableProvider DynDNSLAN IP 2.3 LANLease Time IP Address PoolDomain Name 192.168.2.100 to End IP 192.168.2.199 .
