Configure Your Home Router

Setting up the LinkSys WRT54G router

Confirming your set up

Most of the popular routers used in the USA include DMZ or Port Forwarding.

If your router does not have either mode, you cannot use the NetAV function.

The following steps show how to set up one popular home router, the LinkSys Wireless-G Broadband Router, model WRT54G.

1Press the Index button, select Web and enter the following web address: http://192.168.1.1/. The Enter Network Password screen appears.

Leave the User Name blank. In the Password field, enter the word admin. Then Select

OK.1

2Select Advanced, then Applications and Gaming A.

A

3Select DMZ and then Enable DMZ.

4For the DMZ Host IP, enter 64, which corresponds to the private IP address of the Base Station that you locked in Step 4.3. Then Select Save Settings.

To confirm your setup, do the following:

1Press the Index button and select Web to open up the LocationFree TV browser.

2Type in http://YourName.dnsalisas.com:5021/lfx/check

3If “NetAV Connection OK!” appears, you are all set. If not, go back and confirm the settings in Step 5 on page 11.

The above example is when using DMZ. As an alternative, you can use Port-forwarding. For more details, see your router's instruction manual.
