NetComm Gateway Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N150 Modem Router Interface Setup Internet VC Configuration Go to Interface Setup -> Internet. To add or delete an ADSL VC (virtual channel) configuration, enter the information that has been supplied to you by your ISP. WAN Configuration The router can be connected to your service provider in any of the following ways: • Dynamic IP Address: Obtain an IP address automatically from your service provider. • Static IP Address: Uses a static IP address.
LAN DNS Go to Interface -> LAN to enable DHCP server. You can then set DNS server for the router. A Domain Name System (DNS) server is like an index of IP addresses and Web addresses. If you type a Web address into your browser, a DNS server will find that name in its index and find the matching IP address. Most ISPs provide a DNS server for speed and convenience.
NetComm Gateway Series - ADSL2+ Wireless N150 Modem Router Wireless Wireless Settings Go to Interface -> Wireless to setup the wireless parameters. There are a number of options you can change. Two of the more basic and common options you may wish to change are: SSID The name of your wireless network. You can change the SSID. Only devices with the same SSID can interconnect. Channel The channel number is used for wireless networking.
Wireless Security It is recommended that you change your wireless security to ensure that your network remains free from any unwanted guests. The Authentication type supports “WEP 64Bits”, “WEP 128Bits”, “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”, and ‘WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK”. Choose which type of security you would like to use and follow the instructions to set the password. The security authentication types in the drop down box are listed from least secure to most secure.
