7777. Advanced SettingsConfiguring for unique situationsThis chapter describes the advanced features of your modem router. The information is for users with a solid understanding of networking concepts who want to set the modem router up for unique situations such as when remote access from the Internet by IP or domain name is needed.This chapter contains the following sections:• WAN Setup • Dynamic DNS • LAN Setup • Quality of Service (QoS) • Advanced Wireless Settings • Remote Management • Static Routes • Universal Plug and Play • Traffic Meter • Wireless Bridging and Repeating Networks • Change the Device Mode For information about the Port Forwarding/Port Triggering menu selection, see Set Up Port Forwarding to Local Servers on page 46 and Set Up Port Triggering on page 49.For information about Advanced USB Settings, see Approved USB Devices (Advanced USB Settings) on page 74.
Advanced Settings78N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 WAN SetupSelect Advanced > WAN Setup to display the following screen:The following settings are available:• Disable Port Scan and DoS Protection. The firewall protects your LAN against port scans and denial of service (DoS) attacks. This protection should be disabled only in special circumstances.• Default DMZ Server. The default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when you use online games and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. See Default DMZ Server on page 79.• Respond to Ping on Internet Port. If you want the modem router to respond to a ping from the Internet, select this check box. This should be used only as a diagnostic tool, because it allows your modem router to be discovered. Do not select this check box unless you have a specific reason to do so.• MTU Size (in bytes). The normal Maximum Transmit Unit (MTU) value for most Ethernet networks is 1500 bytes, or 1492 bytes for PPPoE connections. For some ISPs you might need to reduce the MTU. But this is rarely required, and should not be done unless you are sure it is necessary for your ISP connection.• NAT Filtering. By default NAT filtering is used. • Disable SIP ALG. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) Application Level Gateway (ALG) is enabled by default to optimize VoIP phone calls that use the SIP. The Disable SIP ALG check box allows you to disable the SIP ALG. Disabling the SIP ALG might be useful when running certain applications.• Disable IGMP Proxying. The IGPM Proxying feature lets a LAN PC receive the multicast traffic pertaining to it from the Internet. Selecting this check box prevents this from occur i ng.
Advanced Settings79 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3Default DMZ ServerThe default demilitarized zone (DMZ) server feature is helpful when you use online games and video conferencing applications that are incompatible with NAT. The modem router is programmed to recognize some of these applications and to work correctly with them, but there are other applications that might not function well. In some cases, one local computer can run the application correctly if that computer’s IP address is entered as the default DMZ server.Note: For security reasons, you should avoid using the default DMZ server feature. When a computer is designated as the default DMZ server, it loses much of the protection of the firewall. If compromised via the Internet, the computer can be used to attack your network.Incoming traffic from the Internet is usually discarded by the modem router unless the traffic is a response to one of your local computers or a service that you have configured in the Ports screen. Instead of discarding this traffic, you can have it forwarded to one computer on your network. This computer is called the default DMZ server.To assign a computer or server to be a default DMZ server: 1. In the WAN Setup screen, select the Default DMZ Server check box.2. Type the IP address for that server and click Apply.
Advanced Settings80N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Dynamic DNSIf your network has a permanently assigned IP address, you can register a domain name that is linked to your IP address by public Domain Name Servers (DNS). More commonly, Internet accounts have dynamically assigned IP addresses in which the IP addresses change frequently. In this case, use a commercial Dynamic DNS service to register your domain to its IP address and forward traffic directed at your domain to your current IP address. The modem router has a client that can connect to a Dynamic DNS service provider. Once you set up Dynamic DNS in the modem router, when your IP address changes, your modem router contacts your Dynamic DNS service provider, logs in to your account, and registers your new IP address.To set up Dynamic DNS:1. Select Advanced > Dynamic DNS to display the following screen.2. Access the website of one of the Dynamic DNS service providers whose names appear in the Service Provider drop-down list, and register for an account. For example, for dyndns.org, go to www.dyndns.org.3. Select the Use a Dynamic DNS Service check box. 4. Select the name of your Dynamic DNS service provider. 5. Type the host name that your Dynamic DNS service provider gave you. This is sometimes called the domain name. If your URL is myName.dyndns.org, your host name is myName.6. Type the user name for your Dynamic DNS account. 7. Type the password (or key) for your Dynamic DNS account. 8. If your Dynamic DNS provider allows the use of wildcards in resolving your URL, you can select the Use Wildcards check box to activate this feature. For example, the wildcard feature causes *.yourhost.dyndns.org to be aliased to the same IP address as yourhost.dyndns.org.9. Click Apply to save your settings.If your ISP assigns a private WAN IP address such as 192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x, the Dynamic DNS service does not work because private addresses are not routed on the Internet.
Advanced Settings81 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3LAN SetupThe LAN Setup screen allows configuration of LAN IP services such as DHCP and Routing Information Protocol (RIP). The modem router is shipped 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• Subnet mask. 255.255.255.0These addresses are part of the private address range designated by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF http://www.ietf.org/) for use in private networks, and should be suitable in most applications. If your network has a requirement to use a different IP addressing scheme, you can make those changes in the LAN Setup screen.Note: If you change the LAN IP address of the modem router while connected through the browser, you are disconnected. To reconnect, open a new connection to the new IP address and log in.To change the LAN settings:1. Select Advanced > LAN Setup.2. Enter the LAN Setup configuration and click Apply to save your changes.LAN Setup Screen Settings• Device Name.
Advanced Settings82N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 • IP Address. The LAN IP address of the modem router.• IP Subnet Mask. The LAN subnet mask of the modem router. Combined with the IP address, the IP subnet mask allows a device to know which other addresses are local to it, and which have to be reached through a gateway or modem router.• RIP Direction.• RIP Version. • Use Router as DHCP Server. By default, the modem router is a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server, allowing it to assign IP, DNS server, and default gateway addresses to all computers connected to the modem router’s LAN. The assigned default gateway address is the LAN address of the modem router. IP addresses are assigned to the attached PCs from a pool of addresses specified in this screen. Each pool address is tested before it is assigned to avoid duplicate addresses on the LAN.For most applications, the default DHCP and TCP/IP settings of the modem router are satisfactory. • Reserved IP Addresses Setup. When you specify a reserved IP address for a computer on the LAN, that computer always receives the same IP address each time it accesses the modem router’s DHCP server. Reserved IP addresses should be assigned to servers that require permanent IP settings. IP Address ReservationTo reserve an IP address:1. Select Advanced > LAN Setup and click the Add button. 2. In the IP Address field, type the IP address to assign to the computer or server. Choose an IP address from the modem router’s LAN subnet, such as 192.168.0.x. 3. Type the MAC address of the computer or server. Tip: If the computer is already on your network, copy its MAC address from the Attached Devices screen and paste it here.4. Click Apply to enter the reserved address into the table. Note: The reserved address is not assigned until the next time the computer contacts the modem router’s DHCP server. Reboot the computer or access its IP configuration to force a DHCP release and renew.To edit or delete a reserved address entry: 1. Select the radio button next to the reserved address that you want to edit or delete. 2. Click Edit or Delete.
Advanced Settings83 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3Quality of Service (QoS)Quality of Service (QoS) is an advanced feature that can be used to prioritize some types of traffic ahead of others. The modem router can provide QoS prioritization over the wireless link and on the Internet connection.The modem router supports Wi-Fi Multimedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS) to prioritize wireless voice and video traffic over the wireless link. WMM QoS provides prioritization of wireless data packets from different applications based on four access categories: voice, video, best effort, and background. For an application to receive the benefits of WMM QoS, both it and the client running that application have to have WMM enabled. Legacy applications that do not support WMM, and applications that do not require QoS, are assigned to the best effort category, which receives a lower priority than voice and video.To set up QoS:1. Select Advanced > QoS Setup.2. Click Setup QoS rule. The QoS Priority Rule list displays:

Enter each IP address that should have access.• Everyone. Allow access from any IP address on the Internet. 3. Specify the port number to be used for accessing the modem router interface.Web browser access usually uses the standard HTTP service port 80. For greater security, you can change it so the remote modem router interface uses a custom port by entering that number in the field provided. Choose a number between 1024 and 65535, but do not use the number of any common service port. The default is 8080, which is a common alternate for HTTP.4. Click Apply to save your changes.To access your modem router from the Internet, type your modem router’s WAN IP address in your browser’s Address field, followed by a colon (:) and the custom port number. For example, if your external address is 134.177.0.123 at port number 8080, enter the following in your browser: http://134.177.0.123:8080.
Advanced Settings88N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Note: The http:// has to be included in the address.Static RoutesStatic routes provide additional routing information to your modem router. Under normal circumstances, the modem router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and you do not need to configure additional static routes. You configure static routes only for unusual cases such as multiple routers or multiple IP subnets located on your network.Static Route ExampleAs an example of when a static route is needed, consider the following case:• Your primary Internet access is through a cable modem to an ISP.• You have an ISDN router on your home network for connecting to the company where you are employed. This router’s address on your LAN is 192.168.0.100.• Your company’s network address is 134.177.0.0.When you first configured your modem router, two implicit static routes were created. A default route was created with your ISP as the modem router, and a second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x addresses. With this configuration, if you attempt to access a device on the 134.177.0.0 network, your modem router forwards your request to the ISP. The ISP forwards your request to the company where you are employed, and the request is likely to be denied by the company’s firewall.In this case you need to define a static route, telling your modem router that 134.177.0.0 should be accessed through the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100.
Advanced Settings89 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3In this example:• The Destination IP Address and IP Subnet Mask fields specify that this static route applies to all 134.177.x.x addresses. • The Gateway IP Address field specifies that all traffic for these addresses is to be forwarded to the ISDN router at 192.168.0.100. • The value in the Metric field represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. This is a direct connection, so it can be set to the minimum value of 2.• The Private check box is selected only as a precautionary security measure in case RIP is activated.To add a static route:1. Select Advanced > Static Routes to display the following screen:2. Click Add to open the following screen.3. Fill in the fields:• In the Route Name field, enter a route name for this static route. This name is for identification purpose only. • Select Private if you want to limit access to the LAN only. The static route will not be reported in RIP. • Select Active to make this route effective. • Enter the destination IP address of the final destination. • Enter the IP subnet mask for this destination. If the destination is a single host, type 255.255.255.255. • Enter the gateway IP address, which has to be a router on the same LAN segment as the modem router.
Advanced Settings90N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 • In the Metric field, enter a number between 2 and 15 as the metric value. This represents the number of routers between your network and the destination. Usually, a setting of 2 or 3 works. 4. Click Apply to save your changes. The Static Routes table is updated to show the new entry.Universal Plug and PlayUniversal Plug and Play (UPnP) helps devices, such as Internet appliances and computers, access the network and connect to other devices as needed. UPnP devices can automatically discover the services from other registered UPnP devices on the network.To set up UPnP:1. Select Advanced > UPnP to display the following screen:2. Specify the settings as follows:• Turn UPnP On. UPnP can be enabled or disabled for automatic device configuration. The default setting for UPnP is enabled. If UPnP is disabled, the modem router does not allow any device to automatically control the resources, such as port forwarding (mapping), of the modem router. • Advertisement Period. The advertisement period is how often the modem router advertises (broadcasts) its UPnP information. This value can range from 1 to 1440 minutes. The default period is 30 minutes. Shorter durations ensure that control points have current device status at the expense of additional network traffic. Longer durations might compromise the freshness of the device status but can significantly reduce network traffic.• Advertisement Time to Live. This is measured in hops (steps) for each UPnP packet sent. A hop is the number of steps allowed to propagate for each UPnP advertisement before it disappears. The number of hops can range from 1 to 255. The default value is 4 hops, which works for most home networks. If you notice that some devices are not being updated or reached correctly, you might need to increase this value a little.• UPnP Portmap Table. The UPnP Portmap Table displays the IP address of each UPnP device that is currently accessing the modem router and which ports (internal and external) that device has opened. The UPnP Portmap Table also displays what type of port is opened and if that port is still active for each IP address.

To save, cancel your changes, or refresh the table:• Click Apply to save the new settings to the modem router. • Click Cancel to disregard any unsaved changes. • Click Refresh to update the portmap table and to show the active ports that are currently opened by UPnP devices.Traffic MeterTraffic metering allows you to monitor the volume of Internet traffic passing through your modem router’s Internet port. With the Traffic Meter utility, you can set limits for traffic volume, set a monthly limit, and get a live update of traffic usage.To monitor traffic on your modem router:1. Select Advanced > Traffic Meter.2. To enable the Traffic Meter, select the Enable Traffic Meter check box.3. If you would like to record and restrict the volume of Internet traffic, select the Traffic volume control by radio button. You can select one of the following options for controlling the traffic volume:• No limit. No restriction is applied when the traffic limit is reached.
Advanced Settings92N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 • Download only. The restriction is applied to incoming traffic only.• Both directions. The restriction is applied to both incoming and outgoing traffic.4. You can limit the amount of data traffic allowed per month:• By specifying how many Mbytes per month are allowed. • By specifying how many hours of traffic are allowed.5. Set the Traffic Counter to begin at a specific time and date.6. Set up Traffic Control to issue a warning message before the monthly limit of Mbytes or hours is reached. You can select one of the following to occur when the limit is attained:• The Internet LED flashes green or amber. • The Internet connection is disconnected and disabled.7. Set up Internet Traffic Statistics to monitor the data traffic.8. Click the Traffic Status button if you want a live update on Internet traffic status on your modem router.9. Click Apply to save your settings.Wireless Bridging and Repeating NetworksNote: If you want to use the Wireless Repeating feature, you have to go to the Wireless Settings screen and change the wireless security setting of the router to WEP or None, and you have to change the Channel field to a different setting than Auto, which is the default. For more information, see Wireless Settings Screen on page 33.With the modem router, you can build large bridged wireless networks that form an IEEE 802.11n Wireless Distribution System (WDS). Using the modem router with other access points (APs) and wireless devices, you can connect clients using their MAC addresses rather than IP addresses. Here are some examples of wireless bridged configurations:• Point-to-point bridge. The modem router communicates with another bridge-mode wireless station. See Set Up a Point-to-Point Bridge on page 94.• Multi-point bridge. The modem router is the “master” for a group of bridge-mode wireless stations. Then all traffic is sent to this master, rather than to other access points. See Set Up a Multi-Point Bridge on page 95.• Repeater with wireless client association. Sends all traffic to the remote access point. See Repeater with Wireless Client Association on page 96.The wireless bridging and repeating feature uses the default security profile to send and receive traffic.

Troubleshooting100N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Troubleshooting with the LEDsWhen you turn the power on, the power, LAN, and DSL LEDs should light as described here. If they do not, refer to the sections that follow for help.1. When power is first applied, the Power LED lights.2. After approximately 10 seconds, the LAN and DSL LEDs light as follows:a. The LAN port LEDs light for any local ports that are connected.b. The DSL link LED lights to indicate that there is a link to the connected device.c. If a LAN port is connected to a 100 Mbps device, verify that the LAN port’s LED is green. Note that if the LAN port is 10 Mbps, the LED is amber.Power LAN Ports (1–4) USB DSL Wireless WPSInternetFigure 12. Front panel LEDsPower LED Is OffIf the Power and other LEDs are off when your modem router is turned on:• Check that the power cord is correctly connected to your modem router and the power supply adapter is correctly connected to a functioning power outlet. • Check that you are using the 12 V DC power adapter supplied by NETGEAR for this product.If the error persists, you could have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR Technical Support.Power LED Is RedWhen the modem router is turned on, it performs a power-on self-test. If the Power LED turns red after a few seconds or at any other time during normal operation, there is a fault within the modem router.
Troubleshooting101 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3If the Power LED turns red to indicate a modem router fault, turn the power off and on to see if the modem router recovers. If the power LED is still red 1 minute after power-up:• Turn the power off and on one more time to see if the modem router recovers.• Clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults as explained in Factory Settings on page 109. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. If the error persists, you could have a hardware problem and should contact NETGEAR Technical Support.LAN LED Is OffIf the appropriate LAN LED does not light when the Ethernet connection is made, check the following:• The Ethernet cable connections are secure at the modem router and at the hub or workstation.• The power is turned on to the connected hub or workstation.• You are using the correct cable.Cannot Log In to the Wireless-N Modem RouterIf you are unable to log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network, check the following:• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the modem router as described in the previous section.• Make sure that your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the modem router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. • If your computer’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and MacOS will generate and assign an IP address if the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. These auto-generated addresses are in the range of 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router, and reboot your computer.• If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1. This procedure is explained in Factory Settings in Appendix A.• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.• Try quitting the browser and launching it again.• Make sure you are using the correct login information. The factory default login name is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.
Troubleshooting102N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 Troubleshooting the Internet ConnectionIf your modem router is unable to access the Internet, you should check the ADSL connection, then the WAN TCP/IP connection. ADSL LinkIf your modem router is unable to access the Internet, you should first determine whether you have an ADSL link with the service provider. The state of this connection is indicated with the Internet LED.ADSL Link LED Is GreenIf your ADSL link LED is green, then you have a good ADSL connection. You can be confident that the service provider has connected your line correctly and that your wiring is correct.ADSL Link LED Is Blinking GreenIf your ADSL link LED is blinking green, then your modem router is attempting to make an ADSL connection with the service provider. The LED should turn green within several minutes. If the ADSL link LED does not turn green, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones.If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL link LED, there might be a problem with your wiring. If the telephone company has tested the ADSL signal at your network interface device (NID), then you might have poor-quality wiring in your house.ADSL Link LED Is OffIf the ADSL link LED is off, disconnect all telephones on the line. If this solves the problem, reconnect the telephones one at a time, being sure to use a microfilter on each telephone. If the microfilters are connected correctly, you should be able to connect all your telephones.If disconnecting telephones does not result in a green ADSL link LED, check for the following:• Check that the telephone company has made the connection to your line and tested it.• Verify that you are connected to the correct telephone line. If you have more than one phone line, be sure that you are connected to the line with the ADSL service. It might be necessary to use a swapper if your ADSL signal is on pins 1 and 4 or the RJ-11 jack. The modem router uses pins 2 and 3.
Troubleshooting103 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3Internet LED Is RedIf the Internet LED is red, the device was unable to connect to the Internet. Verify the following:• Check that your login credentials are correct, or that the information you entered on the Basic Settings screen is correct.• Check with your ISP to verify that the multiplexing method, VPI, and VCI settings on the ADSL settings screen are correct.• Check if your ISP has a problem—it might not be that the modem router cannot connect to the Internet but, rather that your ISP that cannot provide an Internet connection.Obtaining an Internet IP AddressIf your modem router is unable to access the Internet, and your Internet LED is green, you should determine whether the modem router is able to obtain an Internet IP address from the ISP. Unless you have been assigned a static IP address, your modem router requests an IP address from the ISP. You can determine whether the request was successful using the browser interface.To check the Internet IP address from the browser interface: 1. Launch your browser, and select an external site such as www.netgear.com.2. Access the main menu of the modem router’s configuration at http://192.168.0.1. 3. In the main menu, under Maintenance, select Router Status and check that an IP address is shown for the WAN port. If 0.0.0.0 is shown, your modem router has not obtained an IP address from your ISP.If your modem router is unable to obtain an IP address from the ISP, the problem might be one of the following:• If you have selected a login program, the service name, user name, or password might be incorrectly set. See the following section, Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoA .• Your ISP might check for your computer’s host name. Assign the computer host name of your ISP account to the modem router in the browser-based Setup Wizard.• Your ISP allows only one Ethernet MAC address to connect to Internet, and might check for your computer’s MAC address. In this case, do one of the following:-Inform your ISP that you have bought a new network device, and ask them to use the modem router’s MAC address.-Configure your modem router to spoof your computer’s MAC address. This can be done in the Basic Settings screen. Troubleshooting PPPoE or PPPoAThe PPPoE or PPPoA connection can be debugged as follows:1. Access the main menu of the modem router at http://192.168.0.1.
Troubleshooting104N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 2. Select Maintenance > Router Status.3. Click the Connection Status button.4. If all of the steps indicate OK, then your PPPoE or PPPoA connection is up and working.5. If any of the steps indicates Failed, you can attempt to reconnect by clicking Connect. The modem router will continue to attempt to connect indefinitely.If you cannot connect after several minutes, you might be using an incorrect service name, user name, or password. There also might be a provisioning problem with your ISP.Note: Unless you connect manually, the modem router will not authenticate using PPPoE or PPPoA until data is transmitted to the network.Troubleshooting Internet BrowsingIf your modem router can obtain an IP address, but your computer is unable to load any Web pages from the Internet:• Your computer might not recognize any DNS server addresses. A DNS server is a host on the Internet that translates Internet names (such as www addresses) to numeric IP addresses. Typically your ISP provides the addresses of one or two DNS servers for your use. If you entered a DNS address when you set up the modem router, reboot your computer, and verify the DNS address. Alternatively, you can configure your computer manually with DNS addresses, as explained in your operating system documentation.• Your computer might not have the modem router configured as its TCP/IP modem router.If your computer obtains its information from the modem router by DHCP, reboot the computer, and verify the modem router address.TCP/IP Network Not RespondingMost TCP/IP terminal devices and routers have a ping utility for sending an echo request packet to the designated device. The device responds with an echo reply to tell whether a TCP/IP network is responding to requests.Test the LAN Path to Your Modem RouterYou can ping the modem router from your computer to verify that the LAN path to your modem router is set up correctly.
Troubleshooting105 N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3To ping the modem router from a PC running Windows 95 or later:1. From the Windows task bar, click the Start button, and select Run.2. In the field provided, type ping followed by the IP address of the modem router, as in this example:ping 192.168.0.13. Click OK.You should see a message like this one:Pinging <IP address> with 32 bytes of dataIf the path is working, you see this message:Reply from < IP address >: bytes=32 time=NN ms TTL=xxxIf the path is not working, you see this message:Request timed outIf the path is not functioning correctly, you could have one of the following problems:• Wrong physical connections- Make sure that the LAN port LED is on. If the LED is off, follow the instructions in LAN LED Is Off on page 101.- Check that the corresponding link LEDs are on for your network interface card and for the hub ports (if any) that are connected to your workstation and modem router.• Wrong network configuration- Verify that the Ethernet card driver software and TCP/IP software are both installed and configured on your PC or workstation.- Verify that the IP address for your modem router and your workstation are correct and that the addresses are on the same subnet.Test the Path from Your Computer to a Remote DeviceAfter you verify that the LAN path works correctly, test the path from your PC to a remote device. In the Windows Run screen, type:ping -n 10 IP addresswhere IP address is the IP address of a remote device such as your ISP’s DNS server.If the path is functioning correctly, replies as described in Test the LAN Path to Your Modem Router on page 104 display. If you do not receive replies:• Check that your PC has the IP address of your modem router listed as the default modem router. If the IP configuration of your PC is assigned by DHCP, this information is not visible in your PC’s Network Control Panel. Verify that the IP address of the modem router is listed as the default router.
Troubleshooting106N300 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router DGN2200v3 • Check that the network address of your PC (the portion of the IP address specified by the netmask) is different from the network address of the remote device.• Check that your cable or DSL modem is connected and functioning.• If your ISP assigned a host name to your PC, enter that host name as the account name in the Basic Settings screen.• Your ISP could be rejecting the Ethernet MAC addresses of all but one of your PCs. Many broadband ISPs restrict access by allowing traffic only from the MAC address of your modem, but some additionally restrict access to the MAC address of a single PC connected to that modem. In this case, configure your modem router to clone or spoof the MAC address from the authorized PC. Cannot Log inIf you cannot log in to the modem router from a computer on your local network, check the following:• The modem router is plugged in and it is on.• You are using the correct login information. The login name is admin, and the password is password. Make sure that Caps Lock is off when you enter this information.• If you cannot connect wirelessly, try an Ethernet connection and view the modem router wireless settings and set up your wireless computer with corresponding wireless settings.• If you are using an Ethernet-connected computer, check the Ethernet connection between the computer and the modem router. The LAN LED for the port you are using on the modem router should light up to show your connection.• Your computer’s IP address is on the same subnet as the modem router. If you are using the recommended addressing scheme, your computer’s address should be in the range 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254. • If the computer IP address is 169.254.x.x, recent versions of Windows and Mac OS generate and assign an IP address when the computer cannot reach a DHCP server. The auto-generated addresses are in the range 169.254.x.x. If your IP address is in this range, check the connection from the computer to the modem router and reboot your computer.• If your modem router’s IP address was changed and you do not know the current IP address, clear the modem router’s configuration to factory defaults as explained in Factory Settings on page 109. This sets the modem router’s IP address to 192.168.0.1.• Make sure that your browser has Java, JavaScript, or ActiveX enabled. If you are using Internet Explorer, click Refresh to be sure that the Java applet is loaded.• Try closing the browser and relaunching it.Changes Not SavedIf the modem router does not save the changes you make in the modem router interface, check the following:

The changes might have occurred, but the old settings might be in the Web browser’s cache.Incorrect Date or TimeSelect Security > Schedule to display the current date and time. The modem router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current time from one of several network time servers on the Internet. Each entry in the log is stamped with the date and time of day. Problems with the date and time function can include the following:• Date shown is January 1, 2000. This means the modem router has not yet successfully reached a network time server. Check that your Internet access is configured correctly. If you have just finished setting up the modem router, wait at least 5 minutes, and check the date and time again.• Time is off by one hour. The modem router does not automatically sense daylight savings time. In the Schedule screen, select the Adjust for daylight savings time check box.
