201  AC1600 WiFi VDSL/ADSL Modem Router Model D6400
The modem router usually detects and discards incoming traffic from the Internet that is not a 
response to one of your local computers or a service or application for which you set up a 
port forwarding or port triggering rule. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can direct the 
modem router to forward the traffic to one computer on your network. This computer is called 
the default DMZ server.
To set up a default DMZ server: 
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the modem router user name and password.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The WAN Setup page displays.
5. Select the Default DMZ Server check box.
6. Enter the IP address of the server.
7. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Manage IGMP Proxying
IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network (LAN) to receive the multicast 
traffic it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need this feature, leave it disabled, 
which is the default setting.
To enable IGMP proxying:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.

Manage NAT Filtering
Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the modem router processes inbound 
traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might 
prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from 
working. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet 
applications to work. Secured NAT is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.
4. Click the OK button.

6. Select a NAT Filtering radio button:
•Secured. Provides a secured firewall to protect the computers on the LAN from 
attacks from the Internet but might prevent some Internet games, point-to-point 
applications, or multimedia applications from functioning. By default, the Secured 
radio button is selected.
•Open. Provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet 
applications to function.

Manage the SIP Application-Level Gateway
The application-level gateway (ALG) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is enabled by 
default for enhanced address and port translation. However, some types of VoIP and video 
traffic might not work well when the SIP ALG is enabled. For this reason, the modem router 
provides the option to disable the SIP ALG.
To disable the default SIP ALG:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the network.
2. Type http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window opens.
3. Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is admin. The default password is password. The user name and 
password are case-sensitive.

Manage the Modem Router’s LAN IP Address Settings
The modem router is preconfigured to use private IP addresses on the LAN side and to act 
as a DHCP server. The modem router’s default LAN IP configuration is as follows:
•LAN IP address. 192.168.0.1 (This is the same as www.routerlogin.net and 
www.routerlogin.com.)
•Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0
These addresses are part of the designated private address range for use in private networks 
and are suitable for most applications. The IP address and subnet mask identify which 
addresses are local to a specific device and which must be reached through a gateway or 
modem router. You might want to change these settings if you need a specific IP subnet that 
one or more devices on the network use, or if competing subnets use the same IP scheme.

• Both. 
The modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically and incorpora\
tes 
information that it receives. This is the default setting.
• Out Only . 
 The modem router broadcasts its routing table periodically but does not \
incorporate the RIP information that it receives.
• In Only . 
 The modem router incorporates the RIP information that it receives but d\
oes 
not broadcast its routing table.

you are using an unusual network setup. 
•RIP-2B or RIP-2M. This format carries more information. Both RIP-2B and RIP-2M 
send the routing data in RIP-2 format. RIP-2B uses subnet broadcasting. RIP-2M 
uses multicasting.

Manage the DHCP Server Address Pool
By default, the modem router acts as a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server. 
The modem router assigns IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers 
that are connected to its LAN and WiFi network. The assigned default gateway address is the 
LAN address of the modem router. 
These addresses must be part of the same IP address subnet as the modem router’s LAN IP 
address. The default DHCP address pool is 192.168.0.2–192.168.0.254.
The modem router delivers the following parameters to any LAN device that requests DHCP:
•An IP address from the range that you define
•Subnet mask
•Gateway IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
•DNS server IP address (the modem router’s LAN IP address)
