NOTE:
The box named Idle Time Out if there are not activity, after the time specified the logout is done.
During the setup of the modem I suggest to disable the TimeOut (put 0 in the box) and after the setup I suggest to enable TimeOut again.


Use eMule and aMule (Linux version) with a high ID

To get an access to your files faster than with eMule and aMule we should get a high ID and to do that we must make passing the channels of communication used outwards.
To do so from the main menu of the modem (Fig. 2) select the UPnP and Enable it (fig.4).

Of course, it is also necessary configure aMule or eMule to use UPnP, see fig.4.1

Setting up a WiFi connection for secure access

It 'a good idea to configure the WiFi network in order to have an access to the safest possible though, remember always, WiFi networks are always to be decrypted, the secure access is to connected the PC to the cable modem.
Usually the Libero modem comes with WiFi free access that allows anyone in the area to connect to our modem.
The advice is to change the access WiFi enabling WEP encryption.
Usual from the main menu (fig.2) Select Wireless and from the menu that appears (fig.5) ensure that Wireless is enable.
