SURFboard SBG7580-AC Wireless Gateway User Guide 49 Chapter 8: Protecting & Monitoring Your Wireless Network Set Up Port Triggers You can use Port Triggers to configure dynamic triggers to specific devices on your LAN. This allows special applications that require specific port numbers with bi-directional traffic to function properly. Applications such as video conferencing, voice, gaming, and some messaging program features may require these special settings. Note: If you enable the firewall and set up custom port triggers, then you must configure the firewall to allow traffic through those custom ports. See Set Up Firewall Protection (page 43) for more information. To configure Port Triggers: 1. From any SBG7580-AC Web Manager screen, click the Firewall main menu button on the SBG7580-AC Web Manager menu bar. 2.

It is exposed to the Internet and thus vulnerable to attacks or hacking from any computer on the Internet. Consider carefully before configuring a device to be in the DMZ. You can configure one computer on your home network to be the DMZ Host. That computer will operate outside of the SBG7580-AC firewall and allow remote access from the Internet to your computer, gaming device, or other IP-enabled device. The DMZ Host feature will only allow outside users to have direct access to the designated DMZ Host device and not your home network. To create the DMZ Host: 1. From any SBG7580-AC Web Manager screen, click the Firewall main menu button on the SBG7580-AC Web Manager menu bar. 2. Click DMZ from the Firewall submenu options list to display the DMZ Settings screen. Figure 38: Advanced DMZ Host Screen 3. Select the Enable DMZ checkbox to set up the DMZ Host on your home network. 4. Enter the IP address of the computer or gaming device that you are setting up as the DMZ host. 5. Click Apply, when you are finished. Note: Remember to reset the IP address back to 0 (zero) to close all the ports when you are finished with the needed application. If you do not reset the IP address, that computer will be exposed to the public Internet. Note: To disable the DMZ Host, deselect (uncheck) the Enable DMZ checkbox and then click Apply.

Your service provider may ask for the status of the SBG7580-AC front panel LEDs (see Front Panel LED Icons and Error Conditions (page 57) for more information). You may have to reset the SBG7580-AC gateway configuration to its original factory settings if the gateway is not functioning properly. See Reset Your Configuration Settings (page 54) for more information. Solutions Table 5. Troubleshooting Solutions Gateway Problem Power LED Icon is OFF Possible Solution Cannot Send or Receive Data Check the power connection on the gateway and to the electrical outlet. Check that the electrical outlet is working. Is the outlet controlled by a light switch? If so, unplug the gateway power cord and connect it to another electrical outlet that is not controlled by a wall switch. Check each end of the coaxial cable connection on the gateway and cable wall outlet. Use your hand to tighten each connector, if necessary. Check the Ethernet cable to make sure it is properly connected to the gateway and computer. On the front panel, check the status of the LED icons and refer to Front Panel LED Icons and Error Conditions (page 57) to identify the problem. If you have cable television service, check your television to ensure your cable service is operating properly. If none of the above solutions resolves the problem, contact your service provider or call ARRIS Technical Support at 1-877-466-8646 for assistance.

SURFboard SBG7580-AC Wireless Gateway User Guide 56 Chapter 10: Troubleshooting Tips Gateway Problem Cannot Access the Internet Possible Solution Wireless devices cannot send or receive data Check that all cable and power connections on your gateway and computer are properly connected. Check that the Power, Online, and Wireless LED icons on the front panel are lit up solid. Contact your service provider for assistance. If the problem still continues after checking the coaxial cable and Ethernet connections and your IP address, check the Wireless Security Mode setting on the Wireless Primary Network screen. If you enabled WPA and configured a passphrase on the gateway, be sure each affected wireless client has the identical passphrase. If this does not solve the problem, check if the wireless client supports WPA. If you enabled WEP and configured a key on the gateway, be sure each affected wireless client has the identical WEP key. If this does not solve the problem, check whether the client’s wireless adapter supports the type of WEP key configured on the gateway.
