How-To : Setup PLDT DSL With Wireless Router

I’ve been planning on getting the house Wi-Fi enabled for the past few months now and have only been able to purchase a wireless router just last weekend. Got tired of seeing too many cables lying around so I got rid of those and went the Wi-Fi way. Plus, I don’t want to add another network cable for my new toy coming next week. I had the entire setup planned months ago but to my surprise it didn’t work like I expected. Searching around Google for instructions and guides turned up nil so here’s a guide to help those that are having the same problems that I had setting up a wireless network.

Note: This how-to is only for those that are on PLDT myDSL’s legacy lines. How would you know if you’re on a legacy line? Legacy lines are those still using PPPoE/PPPoA connection protocols (or in more simple terms, you still need a username/password to get connected).

I have a Linksys WRT54G for a wireless router but this should work for most routers out there as well. If you’re on a legacy line then most likely you’ll have a ZyXEL P-600 series modem/router that was provided by PLDT together with your DSL. Make sure your PC is connected to the ZyXeL modem first then proceed below.

• Access the web control panel of your ZyXeL modem by typing in the IP address of your modem in a browser. (i.e. http://192.168.1.1)
• Login to the web control panel (default username/password: admin/1234) of the modem and go to the WAN settings.
• Change the settings to the following and save:
• Routing mode: Bridge
• Encapsulation: RFC 1483
• Multiplex: LLC
• Disconnect the ZyXeL modem from your PC and connect it to the WAN/Internet port of your wireless router (refer to the manual of your wireless router to locate the Internet/WAN port).
• Connect your PC to one of the ports in your wireless router. Your setup should look something like this now: DSL -> ZyXeL modem -> Wi-Fi Router -> PC
• Now you need to access the web control panel of your wireless router the same way you accessed the ZyXeL modem. With mine, the default ip address of the router was 192.168.1.1 and the default username/password is /admin (just leave the username blank).
• Once you’re in the control panel, set the connection protocol to PPPoE/PPPoA and input the username and password of your DSL account. Your username should be in this format: xxxxx@pldt. Call PLDT if you don’t know your username and password.
• Now here’s the most important part. Make sure you change the IP address of your wireless router so that it will not be the same with your ZyXeL modem and make sure they’re in the same network. (i.e. your ZyXeL modem’s IP is 192.168.1.1, change your wireless router’s IP to 192.168.1.2)
• Save the changes you’ve made.
• Now go to the Wireless settings of your wireless router and enable it. Provide any necessary information needed like SSID and such. Make sure to turn on the security for your Wi-Fi by using either WPA or WEP to avoid someone hacking into your router.
• Save the changes and you should be ready to surf wirelessly anywhere as far as the router’s signal can take you. ^^

Some tips for your new wireless router:

1. Make sure to change the default username/password of your wireless router.
2. I suggest using WPA or WPA2 for your wireless security as it makes hacking a lot harder than WEP.
3. Also, try adding a MAC Address filter to prevent unauthorized PCs from connecting to your access point.
4. Disable SSID broadcasting so that others will not see your wireless router (including you I’m afraid). Since you know your SSID you can easily connect to it anyway.

ZyXEL P-663H-51 ADSL2+ 4-port Bonding Gateway Review

ZyXEL's New P-663H-51 ADSL 2/2+ modem / router supports speeds of up to 48mbps downstream and 4mbps upstream, and includes four 10/100 Ethernet LAN ports. It also provides TR069 protocol for remote management, SPI firewall and DOS protection for security, and advanced QoS and multicasting features for triple play services.

Features at a Glance

• ADSL2/2+, Annex L and Annex M
• 2 ADSL2+ port bonding
• Stateful Packet Inspection
• Anti Denial-of-Service attack and port scanning
• IGMP proxy/snooping for IP multicast
• Port-based VLAN to support triple-play services

ZyXEL's P-663H-51 is an all-in-one ADSL2+ gateway for Home, SOHO and SMB applications. Featuring two ADSL2+ WAN ports and four 10/100Mbps Ethernet LAN ports, the P663H-51 provides SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection), anti-DOS (Denial of Service) and many Firewall security features to protect against network intrusion and attacks.

In addition, advanced features such as IP multicasting, IGMP proxy/snooping, fast leave and IP QoS fulfill the need of triple-play services, while the G.bond-based port bonding feature groups the 2 ADSL2+ physical ports into a logical link. The link not only provides VDSL-equivalent bandwidth with much longer loop length, its load-balance feature between the two ports also makes P-663H-51 the best choice for business and high-end market applications.

ZyXEL P-663H-51 Features

Higher-speed Broadband Access

The ZyXEL P-663H-51 has two ADSL2/2+ WAN ports. With the ATM-based multi-paired bonding feature, the two ports can be grouped into a logical link boasting the bandwidth twice as fast as a single ADSL2/2+ port, and the bit rates of each individual port can be freely and independently changed by their respective PHY layer. If one of the member ports fails, the conveyed traffic will be moved to the other port. When the failed port recovers, it will seamlessly return to the logical link and share the transmission/reception of the upper-layer traffic.

Compliant all standard ADSL2/ADSL2+ features

In addition to delivering increased data rates over greater distance than the basic ADSL2/ADSL2+, the P663H-51 also supports traditional ADSL2+ standards, such as Annex L, Annex M, DELT, SRA and dying gasp functions.

Robust, State-of-the-Art IP Security

The ZyXEL Prestige 663H-51 provides state-of-the-art standard Firewall features including, Stateful Packet Inspection, anti-DoS (Denial of Service) and IP/MAC address spoofing protection for basic defense against hackers, network intruders and other hazardous threats.

Sophisticated QoS for Triple-Play Services

The P-663H-51 comes with complete integrated ATM and Ethernet QoS mechanisms, as well as various IP QoS features (Packet classification/Rate Limitation/Queue Scheduling). The seamless QoS-mapping not only allows consistent and appropriate traffic treatment of packets, but also enables fulfillment of triple-play services. The IGMP proxy/snooping and fast leave (v1, v2) features also supports IP multicasting services.

ADSL Layer Features

• ADSL2/2+, Annex L and Annex M
• Support DELT (dual ended loop test)
