WAN port on your Broadband Home Router.

Getting started

Note

1. The attached xDSL/cable modem must provide a standard 10Base-T Ethernet

connection. Please use the Ethernet cable comes with your broadband device or any

other standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable.

2. The Ethernet cable supplied by your ISP for connecting to your xDSL/cable modem

may be an Ethernet crossover cable rather than a straight-through cable. It is

important to use the cable provided by your ISP to connect the modem to your

Broadband Home Router.

2 Connecting to the LAN port L2/L3/L4.

Attach one end of the Ethernet cable with RJ-45 connector to the LAN port of your

Broadband Home Router.

The Broadband Home Router incorporates a four-port switch for connection to your

local Ethernet network. The Ethernet ports are capable of operation at either 10Mbps

(10Base-T) or 100Mbps (100Base-Tx), depending on the Ethernet interface of the

attached PC, hub or switch. For any connection which will operate at 100 Mbps, you

must use a category 5 rated cable, such as the Ethernet cable included with the

Broadband Home Router.

3 Preparing your wireless station.

You need to check the setting of wireless client stations to match the default settings of

the Broadband Home Router.

Note

1. The IP address of your wireless client station must be in the range of 192.168.0.2 to

192.168.0.254 with a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0.

2. The SSID default value is IEEE802.11 LAN

3. WEP encryption is disabled.

4 Connecting the power adapter.

Connect the supplied power adapter to the 12VDC port of your Broadband Home Router,

and the other end to a power outlet.

LAN Connection Example

To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be

connected to the LAN port (connected directly or through an external hub/switch to the LAN

port of the device). The configuration can also be performed on a wireless client station (as

Network 2 on Connection Figure 2).

On Ethernet Client

To access the Broadband Home Router via the Ethernet interface, the host computer must

install TCP/IP protocol:

Step 1 Choose a client PC and set the IP as 192.168.0.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the

gateway as 192.168.0.1 to be on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router,

whose default IP address is 192.168.0.1.

Step 2 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based

manager.

Step 3 Select the connection type (Bridge, Obtain an IP address automatically, PPPoE or

Specify an IP address) which gets the WAN IP address and dials up to the ISP. You

should choose the type according to the device that the WAN port connects to.

When the connection is established the client PCs can access the Internet or the LAN.

Note

1. The Broadband Home Router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.0.1

and subnet mask of 255.255.255.0. As the DHCP server is Enabled by default, the

Broadband Home Router can assign an IP address to the host PC for initial

configuration. That means, if the host PC sets its TCP/IP to obtain an IP address

automatically, this DHCP client should be able to get an IP address and access the

Broadband Home Router.

2. If you select ‘Bridge’ as the WAN connection type, the Broadband Home Router will

act as a two-port Ethernet bridge device .

On Wireless Client

Step 1 Install the wireless card driver and configure the SSID setting on the client

computer to the default SSID: IEEE802.11 LAN.

Step 2 Check that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your wireless client PC. (Refer to

“TCP/IP Configuration” section.)

Step 3 Set the IP as 192.168.0.x (x is between 2 and 254) and the gateway as 192.168.0.1

to be on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router, whose default IP

address is 192.168.0.1.

Step 4 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based

manager.

Step 5 If necessary, you could change the SSID from the web page: Advanced>wireless

(refer to Wireless Setting section).

Getting started

Step 6 If you change SSID in step 5, all wireless client stations must use the same SSID as

the Broadband Home Router.

Step 7 Then click Apply.

Step 8 Execute Save and Restart.

Note

If you have multiple PCs on the LAN, you may enable DHCP server function. The Broadband

Home Router implements a built-in DHCP server, which assigns IP addresses to the clients

PCs on the LAN .For detailed settings please refer to the DHCP setting under LAN Setting

section.

For the wireless-interfaced station, you need to set its SSID to the Broadband Home Router’s

default SSID value and disable the WEP encryption.

The Bridge mode is commonly used on the LAN to LAN architecture.

Software setup

Advanced Configuration

LAN Setting

This page allows you to define the IP address over the LAN interface.

IP Address: Allows you to specify the private IP address on the device’s LAN interface.

By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0. It is

recommended NOT to change the default settings.

Note

If you have changed the LAN IP address, you will need to correspondingly change the

IP address of the DHCP server as well as its pool address range. If you didn’t do that,

the DHCP client will not be able to access the router.

Enable Network Address Translation (NAT): If you apply for only one public IP address

from your ISP and the multiple client PCs need to access the Internet, you should enable NAT

function. NAT translates a private IP within one network to a public IP address, either a static

or dynamic one. By default, the NAT function is enabled.

DHCP Server: Allows you to enable or disable the DHCP function. DHCP server is enabled

by default. When you instruct the router to act as a DHCP server, it assigns dynamic IP

addresses to your PCs (DHCP clients) whenever they request for IP information. The DHCP

server “leases” the IP addresses from a defined pool for a specified amount of time to the PCs.

DHCP helps system administrators to centrally manage the assignment and distribution of IP

information to PCs on the LAN.

DHCP lease time: Specify the time that a network device can lease a private IP address

before the Broadband Home Router reassigning the IP address. By default, it is 1 day/ 0 hour/

0 minutes.

Pool address (from…to…): When you check the box to enable DHCP server function, you

should give an available range of IP addresses (e.g. 192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254) that can be

assigned to PCs on the LAN. PCs on the LAN will use the assigned IP addresses to access the

Broadband Home Router through Ethernet.

Default Gateway: You can specify the address of the default gateway for PCs on the LAN

from one of the following options:

1. Router IP address: Use the LAN port IP address of the Broadband Home Router.

2. Specify an IP address: Manually specify the IP address of the gateway for PCs on the

LAN.

3. None: If you select this option there no default gateway is required.

Note

If you set the default gateway to “None”, the system will not be able to access the

Internet. It can only access the local area network.

DNS Server notification: Set up the IP address of the DNS (Domain Name System) server.

The DNS server address will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP address. The

DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP address and vice

versa. You can set DNS server from one of the following options:

1. Router IP address: Let the Broadband Home Router relay DNS automatically.

2. Specify an IP address: Manually specify the IP address of the DNS server. You are

allowed to specify two DSN servers.

3. None: If you select this option there no default DNS server is required..

Note

If DNS IP is left as 0.0.0.0, then you should specify the DNS on each client PC.

Software setup

WAN Setting

This section shows you detailed description over the WAN connections setting. The Router

provides four connection type for you choice.

Common

Default Gateway: This function allows you to set up the default gateway on the WAN

interface of your router. You can check the Specify an IP Address box and enter the gateway

IP address provided by your ISP.

DNS IP address: Set up the IP address of the primary and secondary DNS (Domain Name

System) server. The DNS server address will be passed to the DHCP clients along with the IP

address. The DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to its corresponding IP

address and vice versa.

NTP Function: Allows you to enable NTP (Network Time Protocol) function and maintain Date and

Time on LCD by NTP Server.. If you have designated time server to synchronize the date and time of

network computers, you can check Specify an IP Address and then enter the IP address of the time

server.

Bridge:

By selecting “Bridge” mode you enable bridging over the WAN port. The router can bridge

the packets from your local network to the remote LAN over the WAN port.

Obtain an IP address automatically:

With this option selected, the Broadband Home Router will get a dynamic WAN IP address

whenever it connects to the remote server or ISP. If your Broadband Home Router’s WAN

port is connecting to a cable modem and the modem gets a dynamic IP from the ISP, you will

need to use this connection method.

Specify an IP address:

If your ISP provides you with a fixed IP for the WAN port, enter the IP address in this field.

PPPoE:

PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an always-on

connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

User Name/Password: The user name and password to access the remote server or ISP.

MAX Idle Time: This value specifies the idle minutes that elapse before the LAN Home

Route automatically disconnects the PPP session. If no traffic is passing through during the

span of time your specified, the PPP session is terminated.

Dial On Demand: If checked, under disconnected status, if any client PC sends out request

for connection, the Broadband Home Router will dial the ISP automatically. In this case, if

the system administrator wants to disconnect the PPP session, just click the Disconnect

button.

Keep Alive: When enabled, a PPP session will still keep on line even when the idle time is

passed.

Connect: This button allows you to connect instantly without having to restart the device. To

make the connection, you may just click the Connect button without having to click Apply

button.

Service Name: Enter the name of your PPPoE service here.

Access Concentrator: Enter the access concentrator of your PPPoE service here as required

by your ISP.

Software setup

Wireless Setting

The Broadband Home Router provides wireless connectivity within a range of several

hundreds feet and acts as a bridge between your wired LAN and wireless PCs. This section

shows you how to configure the wireless LAN setting.

SSID (Service Set Identity): A name that uniquely identifies a domain. All clients that want

to communicate with the Broadband Home Router must have the same SSID as it.

Desired Channel: The frequency in which the radio links are about to be established. Usually

the clients will scan the whole operable channels and then select the desired communications

channel automatically.

Privacy Security

The privacy security function can enhance media security by encryption technology. All

clients must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the

Broadband Home Router properly. To turn on the privacy function:

Open System

With open system authentication a wireless PC can join any network and receive any

messages that are not encrypted.

Shared Key

With shared key authentication, only those PCs that possess the correct authentication key can

join the network. By default IEEE 802.11 wireless devices operate in an Open System

network.

Encryption Key

To enable WEP encryption function, select your encryption length as 64-bit or 128-bit. Either

64-bit or 128-bit WEP keys can be generated from user-defined characters or manual entry.

To create with characters, select Char option and then enter the exact same WEP key for each

wireless client. To use manual entry, check Hex option and then enter your WEP keys. WEP

keys must be comprised of the hexadecimal characters (0-9, A-F, and a-f) and must contain 10

characters for 64-bit WEP Keys or 26 characters for 128-bit WEP keys.

Configuring the SSID & Desired Channel.

1. On the page, if necessary you can edit the SSID.

2. Select the Desired Channel

3. You can select Shared Key and set the Encryption Key Length as 64-bit or 128-bit.

4. Click “Apply “.

Routing

Dynamic Routing

Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is utilized as a means of exchanging routing information

between routers. It helps the routers to determine optimal routes. This page allows you to

enable/disable this function.

By default, RIP is disabled with Disable selected. You are allowed to enable RIP over the

LAN/WAN interface. Upon each interface, you can customize the RIP on Receive Mode and

Transmit Mode respectively.

Receive Mode: It incorporates the RIP information when receiving the RIP packets.

Transmit Mode: It broadcasts the routing table.

RIP Version: When enabling RIP, you can select the RIP version from RIPv1, RIPv2 or both

(RIPv1 and RIPv2).

Disable RIP: To disable RIP, just select Disable from the drop-down list.

Software setup

Static Routing

This page shows all the routing rules of data packets going through your Broadband Home

Router if it runs in routing mode. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate

routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and your don’t need to

configure additional static routes. Unless your network is unusual case such as multiple

routers or multiple IP subnets and you must configure static routes.

For example, if the circumstances below apply to your network:

1. You have another subnet network in your network.

2. Your another network is 10.3.1.x.

Then you need to create a static route. You should enter the destination IP address 10.3.1.x

and gateway IP address 192.168.0.1 to commit the setting.

When you first configure your router, you will find a default route created with your ISP as

the gateway, and the second static route was created to your local network for all 192.168.0.x

addresses.

Select a Static Route: Firstly, select an existing static route or New Entry to edit its

parameters. Click Delete if you want to delete it.

Network IP Address: The destination IP address of the network where data packets are to be

sent.

Netmask: The subnet mask of the destination IP address.

Gateway IP address: The next IP address where data packets are to be sent for the

destination you specify in previous fields. This is to be configured only when the LAN

interface is configured as route; otherwise leave it as 0.0.0.0.

Delete entry: Select a required entry to delete it from static route table.

Filtering

The Broadband Home Router uses filters to determine if a data packet should be passed. You

can specify your filter rule on the source side and destination side.

Setting the IP Packet Filter

This page allows you to add new IP packet filter and delete selected IP packet filter. To add a

new filter rule, setting then press apply button. Otherwise, select a required entry to delete it.

Select enable or disable option to decide whether to enable filter function.

Note

If you enable Filtering function, the filter table will display some filter entries

predefined in your device by default. These entries (where source and destination IP

are left as 0.0.0.0 and different service port) allow your network to use various Internet

services. Note that if you delete any one of these predefined entry, the service type of

entry that deletion will block the LAN PCs from accessing its corresponding service.

If you want to filtering a specific computer from accessing certain Internet service or

location, you should create additional filter rule.

Protocol Type: It governs the information flow within a communications infrastructure. You

may select the protocol from drop-down list and then enter the port number that identifies the

service, e.g., web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21.

Source IP address/subnet mask: If you wish to filter the packet originating from certain

node, enter the IP address which identifies this device on the network. Then enter the subnet

mask where the IP address belongs to.

Destination IP address/subnet mask: If you wish to filter the packet destining for a certain

mode, enter the IP address which identifies this device on the Internet. Then enter the subnet

mask where the IP address belongs to. The field is disregarded if you leave it as 0.0.0.0.

TCP Flags: when protocol type is set with TCP this section should be effective.

Port Range: Enter the starting and ending port number that identify the service that you want

to filter , e.g., web service is on port 80 and FTP on port 21.

Direction: Choose whether to filter the packets that are incoming (In Bound) or outgoing

(Out Bound) on the interface. The action can be Allow or Block.

Each data packet that enters the Broadband Home Router will undergo data filtering. Data

packet is allowed to pass or not depending on whether a match is found.

Software setup

Example: If you want to filtering a specific network 192.168.0.10 from accessing the HTTP

server at 220.189.78.21 you should add a filter attributes as below:

Protocol type/as Source IP Destination IP Port Range

Start/End InBound OutBound

TCP/21 192.168.0.10 220.189.78.21 21/21 Allow Block

*The packets matching the criteria will be blocked; those beyond these filtering rules can pass through the

Broadband Home Router.

If you also want to filtering corresponding service from Internet just need set Inbound to

“Block”.

Forwarding

The Broadband Home Router implements NAT to let your entire local network appear as a

single machine to the Internet. The typical situation is that you have local servers for different

services and you want to make them publicly accessible. With NAT applied, it will translate

the internal IP addresses of these servers to a single IP address that is unique on the Internet.

NAT function not only eliminates the need for multiple public IP addresses but also provides

a measure of security for your LAN.

When the router receives an incoming IP packet requesting for access to your local server, the

router will recognize the service type according to the port number in this packet (e.g., port 80

indicates HTTP service and port 21 indicates FTP service). By specifying the port number,

you tell the router which service should be forwarded to the local IP address you specify.

Protocol: Select a protocol type used by the service that will be forwarded.

TCP/IP Port: The Broadband Home Router supports port mapping function which translates

a standard port number to a non-standard number. Incoming data packets sent to a specific IP

port can be mapped to the port you specify. The most often used port numbers include:

21 (FTP ), 80 (HTTP), 23 (Telnet) and 25(SMTP)

IP Address: Specify the internal IP address to which the packets are forwarded to.

How to configure port forwarding:

1. Select the protocol type from the drop-down list.

2. Select a service in TCP /IP Port field and enter the port number you want to use.

3. Enter the IP address of the local server in the IP Address filed.

4. Click Apply button to commit the setting.

If you are going to delete a forward entry, select it from the status filed to delete it.

Software setup

DMZ

A DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) separates an external network from directly referencing an

internal network. With DMZ configuration, a DMZ host acts as a neutral zone between the

private network and the outside network. For example, if you have a host providing online

games or videoconferencing applications which are incompatible through NAT, you can

specify its IP address here and then click “Apply” button.

UPnP

Universal plug and play (UPnP) is an architecture for pervasive peer to peer network

connectivity of intelligent appliances, wireless devices and PCs of all form factors. It is

designed to bring easy-to-use, flexible, standards-based connectivity to ad-hoc or unmanaged

networks whether in the home, in a small business, public spaces, or attached to the Internet.

To enable UPnP function, just check the Enable UPnP Function box and then click Apply

button to activate the function.

QOS

The Broadband Home Router comes with 4 10/100 Base-TX ports. It is capable of

auto-sensing the Ethernet switching hub if a non-crossover cable is attached. In this page,

you can select whether to enable or disable QOS management function. You also can set the

priority for each switch port and select whether to enable or disable the 802.1P.

Software setup

Glossary

This chapter presents a more detailed description of the Broadband Home Router’s

configuration parameters.

DHCP (Dynamic Host

Configuration Protocol)

When operates as a DHCP server, the

Broadband Home Router assign IP

addresses to the client PCs on the

LAN. The client PCs “leases” these

Private IP addresses for a

user-defined amount of time. After

the lease time expires, the private IP

address is made available for

assigning to other network devices.

The DHCP IP address can be a

single, fixed public IP address, an ISP

assigned public IP address, or a

private IP address.

If you enable DHCP server on a

private IP address, a public IP

address will have to be assigned to

the NAT IP address, and NAT has to

be enabled so that the DHCP IP

address can be translated into a public

IP address. By this, the client PCs are

able to access the Internet.

LAN (Local Area Network) &

WAN (Wide Area Network)

A LAN is a computer network

limited to the immediate area, usually

the same building or floor of a

building. A WAN, on the other hand,

is an outside connection to another

network or the Internet.

The Ethernet side of the Broadband

Home Router is called the LAN port.

It is a twisted-pair Ethernet 10Base-T

interface. A hub can be connected to

the LAN port. More than one

computers, such as server or printer,

can be connected through this hub to

the Broadband Home Router and

composes a LAN.

The WAN port of the Broadband

Home Router composes the WAN

interface, which supports PPP or

RFC 1483 connecting to another

remote DSL device of cable modem.

Authentication and WEP

Encryption

The absence of a physical connection

between nodes makes the wireless

links vulnerable to eavesdropping and

information theft. To provide a

certain level of security , the IEEE

8002.11 standard has defined two

types of authentication methods, open

system and shared key. With open

system authentication a wireless PC

can join any network and receive any

messages that are not encrypted. With

shared key authentication, only those

PCs that possess the correct

authentication key can join the

network. By default IEEE 802.11

wireless devices operate in an Open

system network.

Private IP Address

Private IP addresses are also LAN IP

addresses, but are considered

“illegal” IP addresses to the Internet.

They are private to an enterprise

while still permitting full network

layer connectivity between all hosts

inside an enterprise as well as all

public hosts of different enterprises.

The Broadband Home Router uses

private IP addresses by assigning

them to the LAN that cannot be

directly accessed by the Internet or

remote server. To access the Internet,

private network should have an agent

to translate the private IP address to

public IP address.

RIP (Routing Information

Protocol)

RIP is a routing protocol that uses the

distance-vector routing algorithms to

calculate least-ho

s routes to a

UDP (User Data gram Protocol)

UDP is a connectionless transport

service that dispenses with the

reliability services provided by TCP.

UDP

destination. It is used on the Internet

and is common in the NetWare

environment. It exchanges routing

information with other routers. It

includes V1, V2 and V1&V2, which

controls the sending and receiving of

RIP packets over Ethernet.

interface with IP and the ability to

address a particular application

process running on a host via a port

number without setting up a

connection session.

Virtual Server

You can designate virtual servers,

e.g., a FTP, web, telnet or mail server,

on your local network and make them

accessible to the outside world. A

virtual server means that it is not a

dedicated server -- that is, the entire

computer is not dedicated to running

on the public network but in the

private network.

Infrastructure mode

A backbone to extend the service

provided by network. This mode

provides wireless connectivity to

multiple wireless network devices

within a fixed range or area of

coverage, interacting with wireless

nodes via an antenna.

SSID

SSID is a thirty-two

character(maximum) alphanumeric

key identifying the wireless local area

network.

Service Set Identity. A group name

shared by all members of an IEEE

802.11b network. Only devices with

the same SSID are allowed to

establish connections. For the

wireless devices in a network to

communicate with each other, all

device must be configured with the

same SSID.

MAC Address

Media Access Code Address. A

unique, 48-bit number assigned to

every network interface card by the

manufacturer.

NAT (Network Address

Translation) IP Address

NAT is an Internet standard that

translates a private IP within one

network to a public IP address, either

a static or dynamic one. NAT

provides a type of firewall by hiding

internal IP addresses. It also enables a

company to use more internal IP

addresses.

If the IP addresses given by your ISP

are not enough for each PC on the

LAN and the Broadband Home

Router, you need to use NAT. With

NAT, you make up a private IP

network for the LAN and assign an

IP address from that network to each

PC. One of some public addresses is

configured and mapped to a private

workstation address when accesses

are made through the gateway to a

public network.

For example, the Broadband Home

Router is assigned with the public IP

address of 168.111.2.1. With NAT

enabled, it creates a Virtual LAN.

Each PC on the Virtual LAN is

assigned with a private IP address

with default value of 192.168.0.2 to

192.168.2.254. These PCs are not

accessible by the outside word but

they can communicate with the

outside world through the public IP

168.111.2.1.

Troubleshooting

If the suggested solutions in this section do not resolve your issue, contact your system

administrator or Internet service provider.

Problems with LAN

On Ethernet client

1. PCs on the LAN can not get IP addresses from the Broadband Home Router.

The chances are that the interface used as DHCP server is modified and the client PCs do

not renew IP addresses.

If your DHCP server is enabled on private IP Address previously and you modify the

interface to public IP Address, the client PCs should renew IP addresses.

2. The PC on the LAN cannot access to the Broadband Home Router.

Check that your PC is on the same subnet with the Broadband Home Router.

On Wireless client

• Check your wireless LAN card driver is properly installed.

• Check the wireless configuration of the Broadband Home Router .

3. Can’t access the Router’s Web Configuration interface from a PC on your local

network.

• Make sure you are using the correct login information, the default login name is

admin and password is admin.

• Make sure your PC’s IP address is on the same subnet as the router. If you are using

the recommended addressing scheme, your PC’s address should be in the range of

192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254.

Note

1. If you use DHCP server and your PC’s IP address is shown as 169.254.x.x: please

renew the IP address and check the connection from the PC to the router .

2. If you are using a wireless LAN card equipped PC, check that the SSID and WEP

settings are the same for the router and PC.

3. If your router’s IP address has been changed and you don’t know the current IP

address, clear the router’s configuration to factory defaults. This will set the router’s

IP address to 192.168.0.0

Problems with WAN

1. If you router can’t access the Internet, you should first determine whether the

router is able to obtain a WAN IP address from the ISP. Or you have been assigned

a static IP address.

• Check the IP address for the WAN port.

• If your ISP requires a login program as PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE), ensure the user

name and password you enter are correctable.

Troubleshooting

• If your Broadband Home Router is set to routing mode and you use private IP

addresses on the LAN, make sure Network Address Translation (NAT) is enabled.

• Your PC may not recognize any DNS server address. Check your DNS setting on

the Broadband Home Router.

2. Check the physical connection between the Broadband Home Router and the

xDSL/cable modem.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the Broadband Home Router. That is, ping the

WAN IP address that you set or provided by your ISP. If the following response occurs:

Relay from WAN IP address(xxx..xxx.xxx.xxx) bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection between the Broadband Home Router and the network is OK.

If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the connection is fail. Check the cable between the Broadband Home Router and the

network.

3. Check the DNS setting of the Broadband Home Router.

At the DOS prompt, ping the IP address of the DNS provided by your ISP. For example, if

your DNS IP is 168.95.1.1, then ping 168.95.1.1. If the following response occurs:

Relay from 168.65.1.1 bytes=32 time=100ms TTL=253

Then the connection to the DNS is OK.

If you get a failed ping with the response of:

Request time out

Then the DNS is not reachable. Check your DNS setting on the Broadband Home Router.

Problems with Upgrading

The following lists the error messages that you may see during upgrading and the action to

take.

1. Error Message: invalid file format

Possible cause: The firmware file format is invalid.

Action: Check the file format is correct, otherwise download a firmware file with correct format.

2. Error Message: firmware update in process

Possible cause: The upgrade is already in process.

Action: Do not turn off your Broadband Home Router otherwise you will cause damage to the device.

3. Error Message: can’t allocate update buffer

Possible cause: It may caused by the lack of memory.

Action: Reboot your Broadband Home Router and perform the upgrade task again.

Problems with Date and Time

The Broadband Home Router uses the Network Time Protocol (NTP) to obtain the current

time from one of the Network Time Servers on the Internet. If your LCD Panel can’t display

the date and time, please check whether the SNTP setting is correct.
