9. Manage the WAN and LAN Network Settings 9 This chapter describes how you can manage the WAN and LAN network settings of the modem router.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers Manage the ADSL Settings NETGEAR recommends that you use the NETGEAR genie Setup Wizard to detect the DSL connection and automatically set up the modem router (see Set Up Your Modem Router for DSL Service on page 18). If you are technically experienced and are sure of the correct DSL mode, multiplexing method, virtual circuit number for the virtual path identifier (VPI), virtual channel identifier (VCI), and ATM traffic class parameters, you can change those settings.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers Note: The DSL mode menu, PVC Settings section, and ATM Traffic Class section display only if the selection from the Physical WAN Type menu is ADSL2+, which it is by default. For information about selecting the type of physical WAN connection, see Change the Type of Physical WAN Connection on page 133. 6. From the DSL Mode menu, select the DSL mode that your ISP provided you: • Auto. The modem router detects the DSL mode automatically. This is the default setting.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers d. For the VCI, enter a number between 32 and 65535, as indicated by your ISP. The default setting is 38. 9. If your ISP provided you ATM traffic class parameters, specify some or all of the following settings, depending on the information that your ISP gave you: a. From the ATM Traffic Class menu, select UBR, CBR, NRT-VBR, or RT-VBR, as indicated by your ISP. b. In the PRC field, enter the Peak Cell Rate in number of cells per second. c.

The modem router uses the WAN Ethernet port for a cable or fiber connection. The ADSL port is shut down. the LAN 4 Ethernet port is not available for a LAN connection because the port serves as the WAN port. • ADSL2+. The modem router uses the ADSL port for a DSL WAN connection. The LAN 4 Ethernet port is available for a LAN connection. 7. Click the Apply button.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers Set Up a Default DMZ Server The default DMZ server feature is helpful when you are using some online games and videoconferencing applications that are incompatible with Network Address Translation (NAT). The modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but other applications might not function well.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers Manage IGMP Proxying and VPN Pass-Through IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network (LAN) to receive the multicast traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need this feature, leave it disabled, which is the default setting.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers Manage NAT Filtering Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the modem router processes inbound traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from working. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet applications to work. Secured NAT is the default setting.

N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers 6. Make sure that the Use Router as DHCP Server check box is selected. This check box is selected by default. 7. Specify the range of IP addresses that the modem router assigns: • In the Starting IP Address field, enter the lowest number in the range. This IP address must be in the same subnet as the modem router. By default, the starting IP address is 192.168.1.2. • In the Ending IP Address field, enter the number at the end of the range of IP addresses.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers Note: If you disable the DHCP server and no other DHCP server is available on your network, you must set your computer IP addresses manually so that they can access the modem router. To disable the built-in DHCP server: 1. Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network. 2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net. A login screen displays. 3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router. The user name is admin.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers In this case, you must define a static route, instructing your modem router that 134.177.0.0 is accessed through the ISDN modem router at 192.168.1.100. Here is an example: • Through the destination IP address and IP subnet mask, specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. • Through the gateway IP address, specify that all traffic for these addresses is forwarded to the ISDN modem router at 192.168.1.100.
N600 and AC750 WiFi DSL Modem Routers 7. To make the route private, select the Private check box. A private static route is not reported through the Routing Information Protocol (RIP). 8.
