English version Accessing the router (Login) Open your web browser. In this example we use “Internet Explorer”. The default router IP address is: 192.168.22.1 An IP address is a unique number required by each network device, including a computer or router, in order to be active within that network. Without an IP address you are unable to make connections within a network. Type the router IP address in the browser address bar. You can now access the router. The router login screen appears.
English version Setting the Internet Provider (ISP) Prior to setting the provider, make sure that the Internet connection is active without the Sweex Breedband Router. If the modem without the router does not have an Internet connection, setting the router would be pointless. After all, the modem establishes the Internet connection and the Sweex Breedband Router forwards this existing Internet connection to one or more computers in your network. A total of 6 different settings are possible.

English version Opening ports in the router (Virtual Server and DMZ) The built-in firewall in this router cannot be disabled. However, ports can be opened for programmes and games which require this. We recommend using a fixed IP address for computers for which ports are opened. This is to ensure that these computers always use the same IP address as registered in the router.
English version DMZ In some instances, or when a game console is used, you may opt to place a computer or game console entirely outside the firewall. This can be done in the so-called “demilitarized zone” (“DMZ”). This option can be found in the main screen of the port settings (“Port Forwarding”) under (“Advanced”.) Note however, you no longer take advantage of the protection offered by the firewall of the router. All ports to the computer placed in the DMZ are open.
