DGFV338 ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router Reference Manual

You can change the priority to a higher or lower value than its default setting to give the service higher or lower priority than it otherwise would have.

The QoS priority settings conform to the IEEE 802.1D-1998 (formerly 802.1p) standard for class of service tag.

You will not change the WAN bandwidth used by changing any QoS priority settings. But you will change the mix of traffic through the WAN ports by granting some services a higher priority than others. The quality of a service is impacted by its QoS setting, however.

See “Quality of Service (QoS) Priorities” on page 4-19 for the procedure on how to use this feature.

Tools for Traffic Management

The ProSafe Wireless ADSL Modem VPN Firewall Router includes several tools that can be used to monitor the traffic conditions of the firewall and control who has access to the Internet and the types of traffic they are allowed to have. See “Monitoring” on page 6-12for a discussion of the tools.

Administrator and Guest Access Authorization

You can change the administrator and guest passwords, administrator login time-out, and enable remote management. Administrator access is read/write and guest access is read-only.

Changing the Passwords and Login Time-out

The default passwords for the firewall’s Web Configuration Manager is password. NETGEAR recommends that you change this password to a more secure password.

To change the password:

1.Select Administration from the main menu and Set Password from the submenu. The Set Password screen will display.

2.Enter a New User Name if desired.

Note: You can change the Administrator account name; however, you cannot change

it to “root”, as this is a Telnet account that already exists on the system.
