You should only disable NAT if you are sure you do not require it. NAT automatically assigns
private IP addresses (192.168.0.x) to LAN connected devices. When NAT is disabled, only
standard routing is performed by this router.
Classical routing lets you directly manage the IP addresses the DG834PN uses. Classical
routing should be selected only by experienced users.
Note: Disabling NAT will reboot the router and reset all the DG834PN configuration settings
to the factory default. Disable NAT only if you plan to install the DG834PN in a setting where
you will be manually administering the IP address space on the LAN side of the router
6. Wireless ADSL Modem Router MAC Address:
This section determines the Ethernet MAC address that will be used by the wireless ADSL
modem router on the Internet port. Some ISPs will register the Ethernet MAC address of the
network interface card in your computer when your account is first opened. They will then
only accept traffic from the MAC address of that computer. This feature allows your wireless
ADSL modem router to masquerade as that computer by “cloning” its MAC address.
To change the MAC address, select “Use this Computer’s MAC address”. The wireless ADSL
modem router will then capture and use the MAC address of the computer that you are now
using. You must be using the one computer that is allowed by the ISP. Alternatively, select
“Use this MAC address” and enter it.
7. Click Apply to save your settings.
8. Click the Test button to test your Internet connection.

will work fine for most ISPs. However, some ISPs use a specific Multiplexing Method and Virtual
Circuit Number for the Virtual Path Identifier (VPI) and Virtual Channel Identifier (VCI).
Note: The correct country must be selected from the Setup Wizard’s first page for the default
ADSL Settings to work.
If your ISP provided you with a specific Multiplexing Method or VPI/VCI number, then fill in the
following:
1. Select the ADSL Settings link from the main menu.
2. For the Multiplexing Method, select LLC-based or VC-based.
