Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the Router
Overview
For your convenience, use the Router’s Web-based Utility to set it up and configure it. This chapter will explain all
of the functions in this Utility.
There are eleven main tabs in the Utility: System Summary, Setup, DHCP, System Management, Port
Management, Firewall, VPN, Log, Wizard, Support, and Logout. Additional tabs will be available after you click
one of the main tabs. The tabs are described below:
System Summary Tab
The System Summary tab displays the Router’s current status and settings. This information is read-only. If you
click any underlined text, the related setup page will appear.
Setup Tab
• Network. Enter the Internet connection and network settings on this screen.
• Password. You can change the Router’s password on this screen. It is strongly recommended that you change
the Router's password from the default.
• Time. On this screen, configure the Router’s time settings. You can set the time, select a time zone, enable or
disable the Daylight Savings feature, and configure the NTP (Network Time Protocol) settings.
• DMZ Host. The DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) Host feature allows one local user to be exposed to the Internet for
use of a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or video conferencing.
• Forwarding. Port forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network. You may use this function
to establish a web server or FTP server via an IP gateway.
• UPnP. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) forwarding can be used to set up public services on your network.
• One-to-One NAT. One-to-One NAT (Network Address Translation) creates a relationship that maps valid
external addresses to internal addresses hidden by NAT.
• MAC Clone. Some ISPs require that you register a MAC address. This feature “clones” your network adapter's
MAC address onto the Router, so you don’t have to call your ISP and change the registered MAC address to the
Router's MAC address.
