My Cable Company, Cablevision, switched recently to online management of the router.

You access and setup the router settings via your online account.

Below is a (text) copy of the reouter Advanced Settings. The online GUI is much better looking!

This page can be used to configure how Internet traffic connects to devices within your home or business network. It is typically used only when hosting a server, using Internet gaming or accessing specialized communications services.

UPnP - Universal Plug and Play

UPnP allows the devices on your home or business network to automatically configure Port Forwarding needed to use those devices for network services such as gaming, data sharing, communications, media streaming, etc. Read on for complete details

Port Forwarding

Port forwarding allows computers or devices on the Internet to connect to a specific computer or service within your home or business network. Read on for complete details

Add Port Forwarding Rule Refresh

DMZ Host

The DMZ Host setting enables advanced users to have all incoming Internet connections forwarded to one device on the network. Read on for complete details

DMZ Host:

DMZ Host not defined

Port Triggering

Port Triggering is typically used to facilitate Internet gaming or chat and other specialized communication protocols. Port Triggering rules are used to dynamically forward inbound traffic coming into a specific port to a host device on your network. Read on for complete details

My home router is a Belkin N300

Has several advanced features including: Port Forwarding, Mac Address Filtering, and DDNS

Here is what I have

-Tim C.

I have highlighted the "advanced features" in my rather old Dynalink ADSL2+ modem/router.

Hi,

My home router can be managed from web on the website of my ISP (www.free.fr) or inside my lan. The features are not the same.

In the website i can configure the DMZ, response to ping, port forwarding, IPv6, modify WiFi settings, canal and etc...

The access of all the network settings of the routers directly on the website of my ISP is really convenient if i need to modify something from outside (or if i didn't configured well my NAT for example ;-))

From inside the LAN, everything is different, the webinterface of the router is really multimedia oriented: by connecting it with a web browser you can watch live tv, check tv program, plan a record, etc...You can also manage the parental control, your contacts

It is also a NAS, has airplay, UPnP, etc...And it's DECT master.... And a lot. For home use it's perfect.

Of course, network settings are also accessible, including VPN client and server. There's no VLAN management (it's for home use).

Hi Matt,

Thought I'd provide details on my Verizon MiFi 5510L Jetpack (Novotel Wireless), since I spend a ton of time using this device these days.

Regards,

Frank W.

Matt, I am sorry, I can't post any picture here. I use Explorer 11 with Windows 8.1 Professional.

I have:

UPnP

IGMP

I have a Linksys E1200 Router

This is my home router

I have a linksys E1200. It is a basic home router with some features such as mac filtering, separate guest access, port forwarding, DMZ, QoS, HTTPS, and IPv6.

Didn't think to take a screen shot. My router is a D-Link DIR-655. Quite impressed with all the Avanced Features it has which are:

Virtual Server, Port Forwarding, Application rules, QoS Engine, Network Filter, Access Control, Website Filter, Inbound Filter, Firewall Settings, Routing, Advanced Wireless, Wireless Stream Handling (like QoS priority settings for Wireless), WiFi Protected Setup, Advanced Network(Multicast enable choice), Guest Zone, IPv6 (Configuration Link).

There were also Tabs for Setup, Tools, Status, and Support.

Had no idea a relatively inexpensive router had such capabilities.

-advanced filtering

-MAC filtering

-UPnP

Couldn't find any VLAN or QoS settings.

my router is a Belkin F9K1105V2.

It has various features including :Parental Controls,web filtering,access controls,wireless guest access,Firewall includes virtual servers,MAC addresss filtering ,DMZ,DDNS ,plus many utilities to reset unit,factory defaults etc.

HI Matt, hopefully this will give you a look at my Xfinity advanced options. Easy to get to.

Here are some of them: 

I also have a Linksys E1200

My router supports Qos, Port Forwarding, UPnP, remote access, and a DMZ feature.

My Router supports all the standard features that are present on most routers these days. I have posted a picture of the forwarding rules section of the configuration. I was connected to the router through my vlan setup in this router so I was able to accomplish this task while on site.

I have also on the weekend configured an older router with the DD-WRT firmware to ack as a repeater bridge - while this one doesn't support that feature that was also a nice feature to use to extend my network to the basement.

HI I am not going to be able to complete this assignment - I am travelling and not connected via a router to which I have password, etc, access.

However, I'll ask you to take me at my word - I have regular problems with access from my home connection, and have frequently accessed the advanced features of the router there - Wish I didnt need to!!

I have a netgear router, I currently use port forwarding for test dvrs.

I can also tie down mac addresses and create static routes

I had more trouble finding the password for my router than posting this. Most of my options are similar to everyone elses: QoS, Port Forwarding, Port Configuration, etc.

This is a Netgear N300 modem router

My router is a Motorola Surfboard SBG7802

Has some cool options like ability to block access to the outside world by IP or MAC address.

Hi, Matt.

It shows no Default Getaway?

Wireless Router

Here are the advanced setting on my router. I dont have a program to highlight or circle at home.

My wireless service is ATT U-Verse. I wasn't able to log into the advanced configuration page but was able to see the firewall page. U-Verse uses "pinholes" which is the same as port forwarding and VPN settings. Screen shot below:

Allow device application traffic to pass through firewall

By default, the firewall blocks all unwanted access from the Internet. You can allow access from the Internet to applications running on computers inside your secure home network by enabling firewall pinholes. Opening firewall pinholes is also known as opening firewall ports or firewall port forwarding. To do this, associate the desired application with the computer below. If you cannot find a listing for your application, you can create a user-defined application with the protocol and port information.

To allow Internet traffic or users through the Firewall to your LAN devices, applications and servers

Note: On LAN devices which have a Private IP address, once DMZplus mode is selected and you click save, the system will issue a new IP address to the selected computer. The computer must be set to DHCP mode to receive the new IP address from the system, and you must reboot the computer. If you are changing DMZplus mode from one computer to another computer, you must reboot both computers.

My Home computer and router are ancient and logons are long forgoten and misplaced.

My Linksys wont allow me tell see this info.

Hi i have linksys router E2100 all default

port range forwarding

subnet mask

default gate way

mac address

ip address

I have a router from Xfinity. Unfortunately my home computer doesn't take screenshots....I did find out however that the portal was still set to the default user and password since I've never used it. I did change it now...

I have options for Port Forwarding, Port Triggering, Remote Management, DMZ (not sure what it is, it says allowing a computer on your home network to open all ports), and Device discovery. Everything is disabled except for UPnP and Zero Config under Device Discovery.

Looking at some of the other posts I really don't seem to have a lot of options.

The Advance Feature I've had fun with is MAC filtering of my daughters MAC address when I wanted her off the internet.

DDNS and prot forwarding are a feature I use all the time.

Stewart Hill

Our household is utilizing an ASUS-AC68U router. I really like this router, it offers many features that are useful to our household.

Below is a list of the features that I feel are beneficial.

• Network Map, I can see what devices are our network.
• Guest Network, enough said (although I have it disabled).
• Traffic Manager, I can prioritize and limit traffic by devices and/or ports.
• Parental Controls
• USB Filing Sharing
• Wireless Configuration
• VPN, Remote management.
• Firewall, Most important.

In the past, I have been a big fan of Linksys. Since they moved their management to the cloud, I have decided to move away from Linksys. The ASUS routers have been really good to me. I have since deployed them to multiple locations.

I followed the steps until I got the default gateway IP: 192.168.1.1; then I typed it into a browser but did not get user name & password, but got many routers from Ali baba! is this IP address not unique for my router?! what steps did I do wrong in order not to be able to log in with credentials?
