Scheduling Access limits LAN devices from accessing the Internet on a time and day basis. |
 |
Service Blocking | Service blocking prevents specific devices from accessing Internet applications. |
 |
Website Blocking | Website Blocking prevents all LAN devices from accessing the specified website. |
 |
Broadband Settings | Broadband Settings allows your service provider to configure the modem for the required network settings. |
 |
DHCP Settings | DHCP Settings changes the IP addresses allocated for LAN devices. |
 |
IPv6 LAN Settings | IPv6 LAN settings allow you to change the LAN addressing schemes for IPv6. |
 |
DHCP Reservation | DHCP reservation leases a permanent DHCP allocated address to a client. |
 |
WAN Settings | WAN Settings changes the WAN protocol settings of the modem to work with your selected ISP. |
 |
IPv6 WAN Settings | IPv6 WAN Settings enables IPv6 support with your service provider. |
 |
DNS Host Mapping | DNS host mapping creates a static host name for the specified IP address in the DSL router. WAN and LAN IP addresses are supported. |
 |
Dynamic DNS | Dynamic DNS associates the WAN IP address of your router with a host name. Dynamic DNS automatically updates DNS servers upon WAN IP address change. Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is provided thru www.dyndns.com. |
 |
VLAN | VLAN segments your LAN into virtual separate LAN networks. |
 |
QoS | QoS prioritizes LAN to WAN traffic in and out of the router. |
 |
Remote GUI | Remote GUI provides remote access to your modem GUI using the WAN IP address provided on the connection status page. |
 |
Remote Telnet | Remote Telnet provides remote access to your modem via Telnet using the WAN IP address provided on the connection status page. |
 |
Dynamic Routing | Dynamic Routing allows two devices to automatically negotiate each other's routing information. Dynamic Routing is used when a router is placed behind another router. Both routers must support and have dynamic routing enabled. |
 |
Static Routing | Static Routing provides fixed path routes through a data network. |
 |
Administrator Password | Administrator Password limits modem GUI access by setting an admin username and password. When set the admin username and password is required to access the modem GUI. |
 |
Application Forwarding | Application Forwarding allows a LAN device to receive incoming WAN traffic on an application basis. All traffic into the modem associated with the specified application will be forwarded to the defined LAN device. |
 |
Port Forwarding | Port Forwarding allows a LAN device to receive incoming WAN traffic on a port range basis. All traffic into the modem on the specific WAN port will be forwarded to the defined LAN device. |
 |
DMZ Hosting | DMZ Hosting places the defined LAN device outside the modem's firewall opening the device to all Internet traffic. The DMZ hosted device is accessed using the modems WAN IP address found on the connection status page. |
 |
IPv4 Firewall | The firewall blocks incoming IPv4 traffic from the Internet. The firewall can be manipulated to allow or block different types of Internet traffic. |
 |
IPv6 Firewall | The firewall blocks incoming IPv6 traffic from the Internet. The firewall can be manipulated to allow or block different types of Internet traffic. |
 |
NAT | NAT hides the addresses provided on the LAN via DHCP. The DHCP allocated addresses are not visible on the Internet. NAT only allows traffic on the LAN from the WAN if the traffic was originated on a LAN device. |
 |
UPnP | UPnP provides for automatic LAN device identification and connection. |
