Forward
The   Applications  &  Gaming  >  Port  Range  Forward  screen 
allows you to set up public services on your network, such as 
web servers, ftp servers, e-mail servers, or other specialized 
Internet  applications.  (Specialized  Internet  applications  are 
any applications that use Internet access to perform functions 
such as videoconferencing or online gaming. Some Internet 
applications may not require any forwarding.)
Applications and Gaming > Port Range Forward
Port Range Forward
To  forward  a  port,  enter  the  information  on  each  line  for 
the criteria required.
Application  In this field, enter the name you wish to give 
the application. Each name can be up to 12 characters.
Start/End  This  is  the  port  range.  Enter  the  number  that 
starts the port range in the Start column and the number 
that ends the range in the End column.
Protocol  Select  the  protocol  used  for  this  application, 
either TCP or UDP, or Both.
IP  Address  For  each  application,  enter  the  IP  Address  of 
the PC running the specific application.

Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering
The  Applications & Gaming > Port Triggering screen allows 
the  Router  to  watch  outgoing  data  for  specific  port 
numbers. The  IP  address  of  the  computer  that  sends  the 
matching data is remembered by the Router, so that when 
the requested data returns through the Router, the data is 
pulled back to the proper computer by way of IP address 
and port mapping rules.

Applications and Gaming > DMZ
The  DMZ  feature  allows  one  network  computer  to  be 
exposed  to  the  Internet  for  use  of  a  special-purpose 
service  such  as  Internet  gaming  or  videoconferencing. 
DMZ  hosting  forwards  all  the  ports  at  the  same  time  to 
one  PC.  The  Port  Range  Forward  feature  is  more  secure 
because it only opens the ports you want to have opened, 
while  DMZ  hosting  opens  all  the  ports  of  one  computer, 
exposing the computer to the Internet. 
Applications and Gaming > DMZ
DMZ
Any PC whose port is being forwarded must have its DHCP 
client  function  disabled  and  should  have  a  new  static  IP 
address assigned to it because its IP address may change 
when using the DHCP function.
To  expose  one  PC,  select  Enable.  Then,  enter  the 
computer’s IP address in the  DMZ Host IP Address field. This 
feature is disabled by default.

Applications and Gaming > QoS
Quality  of  Service  (QoS)  ensures  better  service  to 
high-priority  types  of  network  traffic,  which  may 
involve  demanding,  real-time  applications,  such  as 
videoconferencing. 
There  are  three  types  of  QoS  available:  Device  Priority, 
Ethernet Port Priority, and Application Priority.
QoS
Enable/Disable  To enable QoS, select  Enable. Otherwise, 
select Disable. QoS is disabled by default.
Upstream  Bandwidth  Select Auto  or  Manual  from 
the  drop-down  menu.  Manual  allows  you  to  specify  the 
maximum  outgoing  bandwidth  that  applications  can 
utilize.

Applications and Gaming > QoS
Device Priority
Enter the name of your network device in the 
Device name 
field,  enter  its  MAC  Address,  and  then  select  its  priority 
from the drop-down menu.
Ethernet Port Priority
Ethernet  Port  Priority  QoS  allows  you  to  prioritize 
performance for the Router’s four ports, LAN Ports 1-4.  For 
each port, select  the priority and flow control setting.
Priority  Select High  or  Low  in  the  Priority  column.  The 
Router’s  four  ports  have  been  assigned  low  priority  by 
default. 
Flow  Control  If  you  want  the  Router  to  control  the 
transmission  of  data  between  network  devices,  select 
Enabled. To disable this feature, select  Disabled. Ethernet 
Port  Priority  QoS  does  not  require  support  from  your  ISP 
because  the  prioritized  ports  LAN  ports  1-4  are  in  your 
network. This feature is enabled by default.
Application Priority
Application  Priority  QoS  manages  information  as  it  is 
transmitted  and  received.  Depending  on  the  settings  of 
the  QoS screen, this feature will assign information a high 
or low priority for the applications that you specify.
Optimize  Gaming  Applications  Select  this  to 
automatically  allow  common  game  application  ports 
to  have  a  higher  priority.  These  games  include,  but  are  not  limited  to: 
Counter-Strike, Half-Life, Age  of  Empires, 
EverQuest,  Quake2/Quake3,  and  Diablo  II.  The  default 
setting is unselected.
Application  Name  Enter  the  name  you  wish  to  give  the 
application in the Application Name field.
Priority  Select High  or  Low  to  assign  priority  to  the 
application. The default selection is Low .
Specific  Port  #  Enter  the  port  number  for  the 
application.
Wireless QoS
WMM  Support  Wi-Fi  Multimedia  (WMM),  formerly 
known  as  Wireless  Multimedia  Extensions  (WME),  is 
a  Wi-Fi  Alliance  certified  feature,  based  on  the  IEEE 
802.11e  standard.  This  feature  provides  QoS  to  wireless 
networks.  It  is  especially  suitable  for  voice,  music  and 
video applications; for example, Voice over IP (VoIP), video 
streaming,  and  interactive  gaming.  If  you  have  other 
devices  on  your  wireless  network  that  support  WMM, 
select Enabled. Otherwise, keep the default, Disabled.
No Acknowledgement  This feature prevents the Router 
from re-sending data if an error occurs. To use this feature, 
select  Enabled.  Otherwise,  keep  the  default  setting, 
Disabled.

Appendix A:  
Troubleshooting
Your computer cannot connect to the Internet. 
Follow these instructions until your computer can connect 
to the Internet:
Make  sure  that  the  Router  is  powered  on. The  Power 
 
•
LED should be green and not flashing.
If  the  Power  LED  is  flashing,  then  power  off  all  of 
 
•
your  network  devices,  including  the  modem,  Router, 
and  computers.  Then  power  on  each  device  in  the 
following order:
Cable or DSL modem
1. 
Router
2. 
Computer
3. 
Check  the  cable  connections.  The  computer  should 
 
•
be  connected  to  one  of  the  ports  numbered  1-4  on 
the Router, and the modem must be connected to the 
Internet port on the Router.
The modem does not have an Ethernet port.
The  modem  is  a  dial-up  modem  for  traditional  dial-up 
service. To  use  the  Router,  you  need  a  cable/DSL  modem 
and high-speed Internet connection.
You  cannot  use  the  DSL  service  to  connect  manually  to 
the Internet.
After  you  have  installed  the  Router,  it  will  automatically 
connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP), so you no 
longer need to connect manually.
The  DSL  telephone  line  does  not  fit  into  the  Router’s 
Internet port.
The  Router  does  not  replace  your  modem. You  still  need 
your  DSL  modem  in  order  to  use  the  Router.  Connect 
the  telephone  line  to  the  DSL  modem,  insert  the  setup 
CD  into  your  computer,  and  then  follow  the  on-screen 
instructions. When  you  double-click  the  web  browser,  you  are 
prompted for a username and password. If you want to 
get rid of the prompt, follow these instructions.
Launch the web browser and perform the following steps 
(these steps are specific to Internet Explorer but are similar 
for other browsers):
Select 
1.  Tools > Internet Options. 
Click the 
2.  Connections tab.
Select 
3.  Never dial a connection. 
Click 
4.  OK.
The  Router  does  not  have  a  coaxial  port  for  the  cable 
connection.
The  Router  does  not  replace  your  modem. You  still  need 
your cable modem in order to use the Router. Connect your 
cable  connection  to  the  cable  modem,  insert  the  setup 
CD  into  your  computer,  and  then  follow  the  on-screen 
instructions.
The computer cannot connect wirelessly to the network.
Make sure the wireless network name or SSID is the same 
on both the computer and the Router. If you have enabled 
wireless  security,  then  make  sure  the  same  security 
method  and  key  are  used  by  both  the  computer  and  the 
Router.
You need to modify the settings on the Router.
Open the web browser (for example, Internet Explorer or 
Firefox),  and  enter  the  Router’s  IP  address  in  the  address 
field  (the  default  IP  address  is  192.168.1.1).  When 
prompted,  leave  the  User  name  field  blank  and  enter  the 
password  to  the  Router  (the  default  is  admin).  Click  the 
appropriate tab to change the settings.
