Manage NAT Filtering
Network Address Translation (NAT) determines how the modem router processes inbound
traffic. Secured NAT protects computers on the LAN from attacks from the Internet but might
prevent some Internet games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia applications from
working. Open NAT provides a much less secured firewall but allows almost all Internet
applications to work. Secured NAT is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
2.
Type
http://www.routerlogin.net
.
A login screen displays.
3.
Enter the user name and password for the modem router.
The user name is

Manage the SIP Application-Level Gateway
The application-level gateway (ALG) for the Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) is enabled by
default for enhanced address and port translation. However, some types of VoIP and video
traffic might not work well when the SIP ALG is enabled. For this reason, the modem router
provides the option to disable the SIP ALG.
To change the default SIP ALG setting:
1.
Launch an Internet browser from a computer or WiFi device that is connected to the
network.
