This Internet Broadband Router can be configured using Internet Explorer 4. 0 or newer web browser versions. Login to the Internet Broadband Router Before you configure this device, note that when the Broadband Router is configured through an Ethernet connection, make sure the host PC must be set on the IP subnetwork that can be accessed by the xDSL/Cable modem. For example, when the default network address of the xDSL/Cable modem Ethernet interface is 192. 168. 1. x, then the host PC should be set at 192. 168. 1. xxx (where xxx is a number between 2 and 254), and the default subnet mask is 255. 255. 255. 0. Open Internet Explorer 4. 0 or above Internet browser.

These applications cannot work when Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled. When users send this type of request to your network via the Internet, the Router will forward those requests to the appropriate PC. If you need to run applications that require multiple connections, specify the port normally associated with an application in the "Trigger Port" field, select the protocol type as TCP or UDP, then enter the public ports associated with the trigger port to open them for inbound traffic.
