Modem Router Setup

N300 WiFi ADSL2+ Modem Router (N300RM)

NAT (Network Address Translation). You can enable or disable NAT. If you disable NAT,

you can also disable the firewall. The firewall cannot be disabled when NAT is enabled.

Secured NAT provides a secured firewall to protect the 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.

Router MAC Address.

The Ethernet MAC address used by the modem router on the

Internet port. Some ISPs register the MAC address of the network interface card in your

computer when your account is first opened. They accept traffic only from the MAC address

of that computer. This feature allows your modem router to use your computer’s MAC

address (this is also called cloning).

• Use Default

Address. Use the default MAC address.

• Use Computer MAC

Address. The modem router captures and uses the MAC address

of the computer that you are now using. You must be using the one computer that is

allowed by the ISP.

• Use This MAC

Address. Enter the MAC address that you want to use.

ADSL Settings

The DSL settings of your wireless modem router 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).

 If your ISP gave you a multiplexing method or VPI and VCI number, enter the setting:

1. Select Setup >

ADSl Settings:

2. In the Multiplexing Method drop-down list, select LLC-based or VC-based.

3. For the virtual path identifier (VPI) parameter

, type a number from 0 through 255. The

default is 8 for the U.S. version, 0 for the worldwide version, and 1 for the German version.

4. For the virtual channel identifier (VCI) parameter

, type a number from 32 through 65535.

The default is 35 for the U.S. version, 38 for the worldwide version, and 32 for the German

version.

5. For DSL Mode, On Networks recommends the default, which is

Auto. In Auto mode, the

modem chooses the best modulation for you.
