• Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier 
working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you 
forget your password, you will have to reset the VMG to its factory default settings. If you backed 
up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the VMG. You could 
simply restore your last configuration.
1.4  Applications for the VMG 
Here are some example uses for which the VMG is well suited.
1.4.1  Internet Access
Your VMG provides shared Internet access by connecting the DSL port to the DSL or MODEM jack 
on a splitter or your telephone jack. You can have multiple WAN services over one ADSL, VDSL or 
Ethernet connection at the same time. However, the VMG cannot work in ADSL and VDSL mode 
simultaneously. The ADSL and VDSL lines share the same WAN (layer-2) interfaces that you 
configure in the VMG. Refer to 
 for the Network Setting > Broadband 
screen. Computers can connect to the VMG’s LAN ports (or wirelessly).
