Manage IGMP proxying
IGMP proxying allows a computer on the local area network (LAN) to receive the multicast
traffic (such as video streaming) it is interested in from the Internet. If you do not need
this feature, leave it disabled, which is the default setting.
To enable IGMP proxying:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
The user name is admin. The password is the one that you specified when you set
up your router. The user name and password are case-sensitive.
The BASIC Home page displays.
4. Select ADVANCED > Setup > WAN Setup.
The WAN Setup page displays.
5. Clear the Disable IGMP Proxying check box.
Clearing the Disable IGMP Proxying check box enables IGMP proxying and selecting
the Disable IGMP Proxying check box disables IGMP proxying. By default, IGMP
proxying is disabled.
6. Click the Apply button.
Your settings are saved.
Manage NAT filtering
Network Address Translation (NAT) filtering determines how the router processes
inbound traffic. Secured NAT filtering blocks more unsolicited traffic from the Internet
but might prevent some online games, point-to-point applications, or multimedia
applications from working. Open NAT filtering provides a less secured firewall but allows
almost all Internet applications to work. Secured NAT filtering is the default setting.
To change the default NAT filtering settings:
1. Launch a web browser from a computer or mobile device that is connected to the
router network.
2. Enter http://www.routerlogin.net.
A login window displays.
3. Enter the router admin user name and password.
