View or Change the WAN Settings

You can view the wide area network (WAN) settings for the Internet port. You can set up a

DMZ (demilitarized zone) server, change the maximum transmit unit (MTU) size, and enable

the modem router to respond to a ping to its WAN (Internet) port.

 To view or change the WAN settings:

1. Launch a web browser from a computer or wireless device that is connected to the

network.

2. T

ype http://routerlogin.net or http://192.168.0.1.

A login screen displays.

3. Enter the modem router user name and password.

The user name is admin

The default password is password.

The user name and

The BASIC Home screen displays.

4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup

5. View or change the following settings:

• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. DoS protection protects your LAN against

denial of service attacks such as Syn flood, Smurf Attack, Ping of Death, and many

others. Select this check box only in special circumstances.

• Default DMZ Server. This feature is sometimes helpful when you are playing online

games or videoconferencing, but it makes the firewall security less effective. See Set

Up a Default DMZ Server

on page 47.

• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. This feature allows your modem router t

o be

discovered. Use this feature only as a diagnostic tool or if you have a specific reason.

• MTU Size (in bytes). The normal MTU (maximum transmit unit) value for most

Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. Change the

MTU only if you are sure that it is necessary for your Internet connection. See Change

the MTU Size

on page 45.
