Chapter 1 Introduction 5

Setting up the Gateway 2
Before you install the gateway, find an appropriate location for it. Set up the gateway
near the main computer or any other device that will connect to it through the wired
Ethernet ports.
The gateway also serves as a wireless access point, so you should consider the
wireless network when choosing the location for the gateway. Consider the following
when determining the location of the gateway:
• Place the gateway at least 5 ft (1.5 m) from cordless phones, microwave ovens, or
other electronic devices to avoid potential interference, and at least 6 in (15 cm)
from your television to avoid audio hissing or static.
• Place the gateway in an open area to minimize interference from its surroundings.
Wireless signal strength is much stronger in an open area than an area with
obstructions. In a single-story building, place the gateway as high and as close to
each wireless device as possible.
• Keep the gateway away from large metal objects. Metal objects can reflect or
obstruct signals, which can negatively impact wireless signal quality.
• Place the gateway in an open area to allow for proper ventilation.
• Keep the gateway away from water sources like water coolers or aquariums.
Note: We recommend that you use the included stand to install the gateway vertically.
This prevents things from being stacked on top of it, which can block vents and cause
the gateway to overheat.

and blinks when the set-top box starts transferring data with the gateway.
Note: For more information, see the instructions that came with the set-top box.

Installing DSL filters
The DSL signal is carried over the same lines as the regular phone signal. Converting
your regular phone line to DSL can cause high-pitched tones and static when you use
the phone. To eliminate the noise, install DSL filters on every phone or phone device
that shares the same phone number as the DSL service.
You need one DSL filter for each phone device (such as a desktop phone, analog
modem, Fax, or answering machine). If you have several phone devices connected to
each other and are using a single phone jack, install only one DSL filter between the
phone jack and the first device in the series.
Important: Do not install a DSL filter on the line that is connected to the DSL gateway.
Installing a DSL inline filter

For most phones, you should install the DSL filter between the device and the phone
jack.
1. Connect the cable from the phone to the DSL filter.
2. Connect the cable from the DSL filter to the phone jack.

2. Click the Settings tab, then click the LAN tab.
3. Click Wireless.
16 Chapter 3 Configuring the Gateway

4. For Authentication Type, choose one of the following:
• WEP-Open. Wireless Encryption Protocol (WEP) is an older security protocol
that allows any wireless clients within the radio range to access your network
without an encryption key. This setting provides the least level of security. For
security reasons, do not select this setting unless there is a compatibility issue
with an older wireless client.
• WEP-Shared. Similar to WEP-Open, do not select this setting unless there is a
compatibility issue with an older wireless device. Unlike WEP-Open, WEP-
Shared prevents open access by any wireless device; therefore, it is more
secure than WEP-Open.
• WPA-PSK (TKIP). Wi-Fi Protected Access - Pre-Shared Key provides good
security and works with most wireless devices. This setting requires an
encryption key to be set on the gateway and on the wireless device.
• WPA-PSK (TKIP) and WPA2-PSK (AES). This setting allows a wireless
device to use either WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK to access your wireless network.
This setting requires an encryption key to be set on the gateway and on the
wireless device.
• WPA2-PSK (AES). This setting requires that wireless devices use only WPA2-
PSK to access your networks. WPA2-PSK is currently the most secure Wi-Fi
encryption protocol but may not be available on all wireless devices. This
setting requires an encryption key to be set on the gateway and on the
wireless device.
5. Click Save.

connectivity status, Internet connection details, modem type, and traffic statistics.
2. Click the Settings tab, then click the Broadband tab.
3. Click Status.

Configuring a publicly routed subnet
You can create a local network that has broadband network-accessible IP addresses
by creating a route from the Internet to the specified public network. This feature is
typically used with broadband service that provides a range of available IP addresses.
Once enabled, the public IP addresses can be assigned to local computers.
Set up the LAN publicly routed subnet first if you want to use the public address with
your DHCP configuration.
2. Click the Settings tab, then click the Broadband tab.
3. Click Link Configuration.
4. Under Supplementary Network, locate Add Additional Network, and click

Enable.

• Router Address. The router IP address for the secondary subnet, provided by
the service provider.
• Subnet Mask. The router mask for the secondary subnet, provided by the
service provider.
• Auto Firewall Open. (optional) Disables the firewall for all devices using
addresses from this subnet. The firewall is enabled by default.
You can enable the firewall individually per device (See “Allocating IP
addresses” on page 20) or per application (“Allowing all applications
(DMZplus)” on page 23).
6. Click Save.
Configuring LAN settings

Typically, your Internet service provider automatically assigns and configures an IP
address when the gateway connects to the Internet. Advanced users can use a static
IP address that allows them to run services like file servers or mail servers. Service
providers typically offer static IP addresses as an extra service.
Change these settings only if you are familiar with networking concepts.

Configuring DHCP
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) allows network addresses to be
allocated dynamically as needed. The gateway can be both a DHCP client and DHCP
server. The gateway is a DHCP client because it obtains an IP address from the
service provider over the Internet. The gateway is a DHCP server because it assigns
IP addresses to the devices in your home network.
If you change the local network IP address range, you must renew the DHCP lease on
devices connected to the home network and manually reconfigure all devices
configured with static IP addresses.
2. Click the Settings tab, then the LAN tab.
3. Click DHCP.
4. For DHCP Network Range, select an IP address range or select Configure

manually to set up a custom range for the DHCP IP address pool.
5. If you selected Configure manually, enter the following information:

• Router Address. The LAN IP address of the gateway.
• Subnet Mask. The subnet mask of the gateway (default: 255.255.255.0).
• First DHCP Address. The first IP address in the DHCP IP address pool to be
assigned on the local network.
• Last DHCP Address. The last IP address in the DHCP IP address pool to be
assigned on the local network.
6. For DHCP Lease Time, enter the number of hours a device can use an assigned
IP address before it expires.
7. For New Device DHCP Pool, select Private Network or Public Network. Use
Public IP addresses only with DMZplus or a secondary subnet that allows you to
have public IP addresses routed through the device.
8. Click Save.
Allocating IP addresses
You can allocate specific IP addresses to devices that are configured with DHCP, and
map devices to particular static IP addresses. For Internet public hosting of application
or servers associated with static addresses, you can map a device to a specific public
static IP address or to the next unassigned address from the public pool. The default
public IP device mapping is to the Router WAN IP address.
Alternatively, you can configure static public or private IP addresses on the devices
themselves. Static IP addresses on devices override settings on this page.
3. Click IP Address Allocation. The page shows the devices in your network.

4. Go to the appropriate device and select the following options to override the
default DHCP settings:
• Firewall. Determines whether the gateway firewall is enabled for the device.
• Address Assignment. A specific address or address type.
• WAN IP Mapping. The address or address pool from which you want to select
an IP address.
5. Click Save.
Configuring firewall settings

The gateway’s default firewall settings block unwanted access from the Internet. Most
users will not need to change the default firewall settings.
If necessary, you can modify the firewall settings to allow certain Internet traffic or
users through the firewall to devices on your home network.
Hosting an application
To allow access from the Internet to applications running on computers inside your
home network, you need to open firewall pinholes and associate the intended
application with a computer connected with your gateway. If you cannot find a listing
for your application, you can define an application with the protocol and port
information. For more information, see “Defining an application profile” on page 22.
2. Click the Settings tab, then click the Firewall tab.
3. Click Applications, Pinholes and DMZ.
4. Select the computer that will host the application.
If the computer you want to select is unlisted because it is powered off and the
Hide inactive devices option is enabled, you can select it if it is on the same
network and you know its IP address. Enter the IP address and click Choose.
5. Select Allow individual application(s).
6. From the Application List panel, select the application you want to host.
You can filter the application list by selecting a category.
To select multiple applications, hold down the [Shift] or [Ctrl] keys while making
your selections. Using the [Shift] key lets you make your selections in a contiguous
order while the [Ctrl] key selects the groups in any order.
7. Click Add.
8. Click Save.

Defining an application profile
An application profile allows application-specific data to pass through the firewall. You
can define an application profile that is not included in the application list. This feature
is typically used if the application for which you would like to pass through data to a
given computer is new or has been recently updated to a new version.
4. Scroll down to the Edit Firewall settings for this computer pane.
5. Scroll down and click Add a new user-defined application.

• Application Profile Name. A descriptive name for the application profile.
• Protocol. Select TCP or UDP. If the application you are adding requires both,
you can create a separate definition for each.
• Port (or Range). The port number or range of port numbers that the
application uses. For example, some applications requires only one port to be
opened (such as TCP port 500); others require that all TCP ports from 600 to
1000 be opened. If only one port is required, enter the port number in the From
field.
• Protocol Timeout. The amount of time in seconds that can pass before the
application times out. If the field is blank, the gateway uses the default values
(86400 seconds for the TCP protocol and 600 seconds for the UDP protocol).
• Map to Host Port. A value that maps the port range you established in the
Port field to the local computer. For example, if you set the value to 4000 and
the port range being opened is 100 to 108, the forwarded data to the first value
in the range will be sent to 4000. Subsequent ports will be mapped
accordingly; 101 will be sent to 4001, 102 will be sent to 4002, and so on.
• Application Type. Select the application type. If you do not know the
application type, leave the field blank.
7. Click Add to List.

Allowing all applications (DMZplus)
DMZplus is a special firewall mode that is used for hosting applications. When in the
DMZplus mode, the designated computer:
• Appears as if it is directly connected to the Internet.
• Has all unassigned TCP and UDP ports opened and pointed to it.
• Can receive unsolicited network traffic from the Internet.
Use DMZplus mode with caution. A computer in DMZplus mode is less secure
because all available ports are open and all incoming Internet traffic is directed to this
computer.
4. Select the computer that you want to put in DMZplus mode.
If the computer you want to select is unlisted because it is powered off and the
Hide inactive devices option is enabled, you can select it if it is on the same
network and you know its IP address. Enter the IP address and click Choose.
5. Select Allow all applications (DMZplus mode).
6. Click Save.
7. Confirm that the computer you selected is configured for DHCP. If it is not,
configure it for DHCP. See “Configuring DHCP” on page 20.
8. Restart the computer. When the computer restarts, it receives a special IP address
from the gateway and all unassigned TCP and UDP ports are forwarded to it.
To stop DMZplus mode on a particular computer, select it and then select Maximum
protection.
