DSL Filters/Microfilters
ADSL signals must be blocked from reaching each telephone, answering machine, fax machine, or any similar
conventional device. Failure to do so may degrade telephone voice quality and ADSL performance.
Install a microfilter if you desire to use the DSL-equipped line jack for telephone, answering machine, fax
machine or other telephone device connections. Microfilter installation requires no tools or telephone
rewiring. Just unplug the telephone device from the baseboard or wall mount and plug in a microfilter and
then plug in the telephone device.
You can purchase microfilters from your local electronics retailer, or contact the original provider of your DSL
equipment.

Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the
“Initial setup” as well as the “Add New Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Alliance (WFA) has certified it across different
products as well as manufactures. The process is just as easy, as pressing a button for the Push-Button Method
or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use
are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
Push Button
Step 1: Select Push Button from the drop-down and then click the Go button to start the WPS process.
Step 2: Within 2 minutes, press the WPS button on your wireless client. Some clients may require you to launch its
software utility and click a WPS button. Please refer to your wireless client’s user guide for more information.
Step 3: Allow 1-2 minutes for the devices to communicate. Once complete your client will connect to the gateway.
A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to an existing network or to create a new network.
You will need to get the PIN number from one of your wireless clients. Please refer to your wireless client’s user
guide for more information.
Step 1: From your wireless client, write down the PIN and activate/start the WPS process.
Step 2: Within 2 minutes from the Gateway, select Client Pin Code from the drop-down, enter the PIN number
in the box, and then click the Go button.
Step 3: Allow 1-2 minutes for the devices to communicate. Once complete your client will connect to the gateway.
This section will allow you to secure your wireless network using WEP, WPA, or WPA2 encryption. When using
these options, you must disable WPS. Refer to the previous page and uncheck the WPS box.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The Gateway has a built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will
automatically assign an IP address to the computers /devices on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your
computers to be DHCP clients by setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When
you turn your computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the Gateway.
The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting
computer/device. You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool (refer to the next
page).
DNS Server: Select DHCP Server from the drop-down menu (default setting) if you want the Gateway to
automatically assign your wired and wireless clients their network settings automatically. If
you disable this function, you will have to statically assign the IP/network settings on your

If an application has trouble working from behind the Gateway, you can expose one computer to the Internet
and run the application on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ will expose that computer to a variety of security risks. Use of this option
is only recommended as a last resort.
DMZ Host IP Address: Check the box to DMZ. This will de-activate any port-forwarding rules.
Enter the IP address of the computer you want to open to the Internet.
IMPORTANT: Using various Internet applications depends on the Router’s firewall settings. Make sure that the
Router’s firewall is set to Medium Security or lower to take advantage of all the port forwarding features.
Firewall settings take precedence over port forwarding services configured in the Router. For example, if the
firewall is set to Medium Security, this will block ICMP packets even if the ICMP service is enabled. If a port
forwarding service is not working, try setting the firewall to a lower setting.
