Creating a Home Network
What is a network?
A network is a group of computers or devices that can communicate with
each other. A home network of more than one computer or device also
typically includes Internet access, which requires a router.
2. Make sure that your modem is working. Your ISP can help you set up
your modem and verify that it’s working correctly.
3. Set up your router. See “How to setup your router” below.
A typical home network may include multiple computers, a media
player/server, a printer, a modem, and a router. A large home network
may also have a switch, additional routers, access points, and many
Internet-capable media devices such as TVs, game consoles, and web
cameras.
4. To connect additional wired computers or wired network devices to
your network, see “How to connect additional wired devices to your
network” on page 11.
5. To set up wireless networking on your router, see “Wireless
Modem – Connects a computer or router to the Internet or ISP
(Internet Service Provider).
How to setup your router
The easiest way and fastest way to follow the included Quick Installation
Guide or continue to the next section “Before you Install” on page 6, and
complete the remaining sections of “Basic Router Setup”.
Router – Connects your wireless and wired network devices to
each other and to the modem.
Switch – Allows you to connect several wired network devices to
your home network. Your router has a built-in network switch
(the LAN port 1-4). If you have more wired network devices than
available Ethernet ports on your router, you will need an
additional switch to add more wired connections.

How to clone a MAC address
Main > WAN
2. Click on Main, and click on WAN.
On any home network, each network device has a unique MAC (Media
Access Control) address. Some ISPs (Internet Service Providers) register
the MAC address of the device (usually a router or a computer)
connected directly to the modem. If your computer MAC address is
already registered with your ISP and to prevent the re-provisioning and
registration process of a new MAC address with your ISP, then you can
clone the address (assign the registered MAC address of your previous
device to your new router). If you want to use the MAC address from the
previous device (computer or old router that directly connected to the
modem, you should first determine the MAC address of the device or
computer and manually enter it into your router using the clone MAC
address feature.
3. Under your Internet connection settings, find the MAC Address section
shown below.
4. Click either Clone MAC Address to clone the MAC address of the
computer you are currently using or manually enter the 12-digit MAC
address of your old router.
5. To save changes, click Apply.
Note: For many ISPs that provide dynamic IP addresses automatically,
typically, the stored MAC address in the modem is reset each time you
restart the modem. If you are installing this router for the first time, turn
your modem before connecting the router to your modem. To clear your
modem stored MAC address, typically the procedure is to disconnect
power from the modem for approximately one minute, then reconnect
the power. For more details on this procedure, refer to your modem’s
User Guide/Manual or contact your ISP.

Your router can be used as a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)
server to automatically assign an IP address to each computer or device
on your network. The DHCP server is enabled by default on your router. If
you already have a DHCP server on your network, or if you do not want to
use your router as a DHCP server, you can disable this setting. It is
recommended to leave this setting enabled.

to the Internet to allow anyone to access it. Your router includes the DMZ
(demilitarized zone) feature that makes all the ports and services
available on the WAN/Internet side of the router and forwards them to a
single IP address (computer or network device) on your network. The
DMZ feature is an easy way of allowing access from the Internet
however, it is also very insecure method.
1. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
2. Click on Management, and click on Remote Management.
3. Under the HTTP section, click Enabled.
It is strongly recommended to use virtual server (also called port
forwarding, see “How to allow access using virtual server” on page 31)
instead, to allow access to your computers or network devices from the
Internet.
Port– It is recommended to leave this setting as 8080.
Note: If you have configured port 8080 for another configuration
section such as virtual server or special application, please change
the port to use.
(Recommended port range 1024-65534)
1. Make sure to configure your computer or network device to use a
static IP address or you can use the DHCP reservation feature (see “How
to setup DHCP reservation” on page 17).
2. Log into your router management page (see “How to access your
router management page” on page 11).
Remote IP Range – It is recommended to leave this setting as *,
to allow remote access from anywhere on the Internet.
Note: You can enter a specific range of Internet IP addresses that
are allowed to access your router management page, all others
will be denied.
3. Click on Access, and click on DMZ.
4. Next to DMZ Enable, click Enabled.
5. Next to DMZ Host IP, enter the IP address you assigned to the
computer or network device to expose to the Internet.

3. Review the static route settings.
You may want set up your router to route computers or devices on your
network to other local networks through other routers. Generally,
different networks can be determined by the IP addressing assigned to
those networks. Generally speaking and for the case of an example, your
network may have 192.168.10.x IP addressing and another network may
have 192.168.20.x IP addressing and because the IP addressing of these
two networks are different, they are separate networks. In order to
communicate between the two separate networks, routing needs to be
configured. Below is an example diagram where routing is needed for
devices and computers on your network to access the other network.
Network Address – Enter the IP network address of the
destination network for the route.
(e.g. 192.168.20.0)
Network Mask – Enter the subnet mask of the destination
network for the route.
(e.g. 255.255.255.0)
Gateway Address – Enter the gateway to the destination network
for the route.
(e.g. 192.168.10.2)
Note: Configuring this feature assumes that you have some general
networking knowledge.
Interface – Click the drop-down list and select the Interface on
your router where the route is active.
(e.g. LAN)
Metric – Enter the metric or priority of the route. The metric
range is 1-15, the lowest number 1 being the highest priority. (e.g.
1 )

How to connect wireless devices using WPS
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a feature that makes it easy to connect
devices to your wireless network. If your wireless devices support WPS,
you can use this feature to easily add wireless devices to your network.
Note: You will not be able to use WPS if you set the SSID Broadcast
setting to Disabled.
There are two methods the WPS feature can easily connect your wireless
devices to your network.
PBC (Push Button Configuration) Method
o Hardware Push Button - located physically on your router
o WPS Software/Virtual Push Button - located in router
management page
PIN (Personal Identification Number) Method - located in router
management page
Note: Refer to your wireless device documentation for details on the
operation of WPS.
PBC (Hardware Push Button)
To add a wireless device to your network, simply push the WPS button on
the wireless device you are connecting, then push and hold the WPS
button located on your router for 3 seconds and release it. A blue LED on
your router WPS button will flash indicating that the WPS setup process
has been activated on your router. (See “Side Panel View” on page 4)
For connecting additional WPS supported devices, repeat this process for
each additional device.
