802.11 Standards-based Wireless Networking

The ADSL Modem Wireless Router includes an 802.11g-compliant wireless access point,

providing continuous, high-speed 10/100 Mbps access between your wireless and Ethernet

devices. The access point provides:

• 802.11g Standards-based wireless networking at up to 54 Mbps

• Works with both 802.11g and 802.11b wireless devices

• 64-bit and 128-bit WEP encryption security

• WEP keys can be entered manually or generated by passphrase

• Support for Wi-Fi Protected Access Pre-Shared Key (WPA-PSK) encryption and 802.1x

authentication

• Wireless access can be restricted by MAC address

Easy Installation and Management

You can install, configure, and operate the DG834G within minutes after connecting it to the

network. The following features simplify installation and management tasks:

• Browser-based management

Browser-based configuration allows you to easily configure your modem router from almost

any type of personal computer, such as Windows, Macintosh, or Linux. A user-friendly Setup

Wizard is provided and online help documentation is built into the browser-based Web

Management Interface.

• Smart Wizard

The firmware in the modem router automatically senses the type of Internet connection, asking

you only for the information required for your type of ISP account.

• Remote management

The modem router allows you to log in to the Web management interface from a remote

location via the Internet. For security, you can limit remote management access to a specified

remote IP address or range of addresses, or you can choose a nonstandard port number.

• Diagnostic functions

The modem router incorporates built-in diagnostic functions such as Ping, DNS lookup, and

remote reboot. These functions allow you to test Internet connectivity and reboot the modem

router. You can use these diagnostic functions directly from the DG834G when you are

connected on the LAN or when you are connected over the Internet via the remote

management function.

• Visual monitoring

The modem router’s front panel LEDs provide an easy way to monitor its status and activity.

• Flash erasable programmable read-only memory (EPROM) for firmware upgrades.

Protocol Support

The DG834G supports Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Routing

Information Protocol (RIP). “Internet Networking and TCP/IP Addressing:” in Appendix C

provides further information on TCP/IP.

• The Ability to Enable or Disable IP Address Sharing by NAT

The DG834G allows several networked PCs to share an Internet account using only a single IP

address, which may be statically or dynamically assigned by your Internet service provider

(ISP). This technique, known as Network Address Translation (NAT), allows the use of an

inexpensive single-user ISP account. This feature can also be turned off completely while

using the DG834G if you want to manage the IP address scheme yourself.

• Automatic Configuration of Attached PCs by DHCP

The DG834G dynamically assigns network configuration information, including IP, modem

router, and domain name server (DNS) addresses, to attached PCs on the LAN using the

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP). This feature greatly simplifies configuration

of PCs on your local network.

• DNS Proxy

When DHCP is enabled and no DNS addresses are specified, the modem router provides its

own address as a DNS server to the attached PCs. The modem router obtains actual DNS

addresses from the ISP during connection setup and forwards DNS requests from the LAN.

• Classical IP (RFC 1577)

Some Internet service providers, in Europe for example, use Classical IP in their ADSL

services. In such cases, the modem router is able to use the Classical IP address from the ISP.

• PPP over Ethernet (PPPoE)

PPP over Ethernet is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL

connection by simulating a dial-up connection. This feature eliminates the need to run a login

program such as EnterNet or WinPOET on your computer.

• PPP over ATM (PPPoA)

PPP over ATM is a protocol for connecting remote hosts to the Internet over an ADSL

connection by simulating an ATM connection.

• Dynamic DNS

Dynamic DNS services allow remote users to find your network using a domain name when

your IP address is not permanently assigned. The modem router contains a client that can

connect to many popular Dynamic DNS services to register your dynamic IP address.

• Universal Plug and Play (UPnP)

UPnP is a networking architecture that provides compatibility between networking

technologies. UPnP compliant routers provide broadband users at home and small businesses

with a seamless way to participate in online games, videoconferencing and other peer-to-peer

services.

Virtual Private Networking (VPN)

The ADSL Modem Wireless Router provides a secure encrypted connection between your local

area network (LAN) and remote networks or clients. It includes the following VPN features:

• Supports 8 VPN connections.

• Supports industry standard VPN protocols

The ADSL Modem Wireless Router supports standard Manual or IKE keying methods,

standard MD5 and SHA-1 authentication methods, and standard DES and 3DES encryption

methods. It is compatible with many other VPN products.

• Supports 3DES encryption for maximum security.

• VPN Wizard based on VPNC recommended settings.

Auto Sensing and Auto Uplink™ LAN Ethernet Connections

With its internal 4-port 10/100 switch, the DG834G can connect to either a 10 Mbps standard

Ethernet network or a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet network. The local LAN ports are autosensing and

capable of full-duplex or half-duplex operation.

The modem router incorporates Auto UplinkTM technology. Each local Ethernet port will

automatically sense whether the Ethernet cable plugged into the port should have a ‘normal’

connection such as to a computer or an ‘uplink’ connection such as to a switch or hub. That port

will then configure itself to the correct configuration. This feature also eliminates the need to

worry about crossover cables, as Auto Uplink will accommodate either type of cable to make the

right connection.
