Opening ports in the router (Virtual Server and DMZ)
The built-in firewall in this router cannot be disabled. However, ports can be opened for programmes and games which require this. 
We recommend using a fixed IP address for computers for which ports are opened. This is to ensure that these computers always use the same IP address as registered in the router. The router may assign a different IP address to the computer so that the forwarding or DMZ command no longer applies to that computer.
1.  The port settings can be changed by clicking “Virtual Server” left in the column.
2.   In box 1, enter the port you want to open. 
3.   In box 2, enter the last digits of your IP address of the computer for which you want to open these ports. 
4.   Click “Add” to save the line.
You can enter a maximum of 51 lines. It is not possible to open multiple ports on a single line.

DMZ
In some instances, or when a game console is used, you may opt to place a computer or game console entirely outside the firewall. This can be done in the so-called “demilitarized zone” (“DMZ”). This option can be found in the main screen of the port settings (“Port Forwarding”) under (“Advanced”.) Note however, you no longer take advantage of the protection offered by the firewall of the router. All ports to the computer placed in the DMZ are open. Only a single computer can be placed in the DMZ.
1. Left in the column, click “Virtual Server” and then “DMZ”.
2.   Under “DMZ Host IP Address”, enter the IP address of the computer which you want to place in the DMZ. 
3.   Tick “Enable”.
4.   Click “Save” to save the settings.
How to assign a fixed IP address to a computer
This is only required for computers for which you want to open ports by means of the Forwarding or DMZ feature. Complete the steps in chapter “Configuring the computer to connect to the router”. Instead of selecting “Obtain an IP address automatically” (Obtain an IP address automatically) you select “Use the following IP address” (Use the following IP address).
The IP address in our example is as follows (192.168.22.xxx). The final number you enter must be unique to your network. We recommend using a number ranging from 150 to 200. Thus an IP address could be (192.168.22.150).  A subsequent computer would then be assigned (192.168.22.151) etc.
For “Subnetmask” (Subnetmask) you enter: 255.255.255.0
Both under “Default gateway” (Default gateway )and under “Preferred DNS-server” (Preferred DNS-server) you enter the IP address with which you log into the router. In our example: 192.168.22.1
Under “Alternative-DNS-server” (Alternative-DNS-server), you can leave the field blank.Click “OK” twice to save the settings and to close the windows.

Here the firmware of the router can be upgraded. New firmware can be downloaded from the Sweex website under ”Service and support”. If the firmware file is zipped, make sure you select and extract the file first on a location on your computer where you can retrieve it easily. 
Now click “Browse” (Browse) and select the extracted firmware file. In most cases the name of this file will start with “Sweex_Firmware_RO002…”.In order to start the firmware upgrade, click “Upgrade”. Do not interrupt this procedure. This may harm the router. Wait for the upgrade to be completed confirmed by a message. The connection between the computer and the router will be briefly interrupted.
Resetting the router to its factory settings
The Sweex Broadband Router can be reset to its factory settings in two different ways.
Note! After the reset, all settings which apply to your connection and network need to be reconfigured. After the reset, the router will restart. During start-up, the factory settings are reloaded and the computer will lose connection with the router for around 30 seconds. After this, the router can be accessed via the default IP address (192.168.22.1). Method 1: The reset button is located at the rear of the router. Use a pointy device to press the button. Press and hold the button for 10 seconds. The router will restart. 
Method 2: Left in the column, click “System Tools” and then “Restore Factory Setting”. Click “Restore” to start the reset. 
Additional tips and further explanation to the remaining functions of the router can be found in the English manual on the CD-ROM.
