Which router can directly route internet from LAN cable without having to configure net settings on the router?

Most broadband routers will work "out of the box" ***IF*** they happen to be set up to the ISP's specs. The problem is that ISPs have different settings, and most require a username/password combination at a bare minimum, so you would have to provide that, at the very least.Nevertheless, I have a couple of suggestions. First, is to ask your ISP! Many ISPs (at leat in Britain), will provide a preconfigured router at cost so it is literally a matter of plugging things in, and the ISP will also provide support for them. If this is not an option with your ISP then you could try a Netgear router. In my experience they do a good job of working out most of the ISP settings automatically, and most of the time, all you need to enter are the username and password. Even if not, the user interface is clear so getting things to work is usually quite easy.

Those settings are there for a reason, the most important one being Security. If you use the default settings, your LAN is open to all kinds of attacks and misadventures. There are several MUO articles on what, how and why routers need to be configured. Not configuring your router is like leaving the doors and windows to your house not only unlocked but wide open.

Well, surprisingly, almost all of the modern routers advertise 'one-button setup' in order to start using the router as soon as you open them. Although, not all of them stand on their words. I would suggest you to go for any router that you like and go as per their instructions. It may involve installing a software on a PC, which is quite not required.Good luck!

With most routers on the market designed for a home or small business setting, you normally don't need to mess around with network settings unless the router would be duplicating other services already available on the LAN (DHCP/DNS). The last one I set up had a simple wizard you accessed when first logging in to the router and simply accepted all default settings (DNS & DHCP servers were not already running on the network, so the router needed to handle them, which it did by default). After accepting the default configuration and changing the default password on the router, everything just worked without any hassles. Entire process from unboxing the router, connecting it to the network, updating the firmware and having everything working took less than 10 minutes.If you are in a larger environment (mid-size or large business, university campus, or enterprise), you will need to adapt default router settings on the device (and it will be a much larger and more expensive device as well if you want decent performance in those situations).

In this case, you would simply plug in the wireless router's WAN port to the LAN port on your existing router (misnomer in this case, it is in reality an ADSL modem). Any wired devices on your LAN would be connected to the remaining ethernet ports on the new router.Most likely, the dvr already has an address from the 192.168.0.x network. This static IP will need to change since that network is going to become an intermediate network with 2 devices on it: the LAN port of the modem and the WAN port of the wireless router. You will also need to go into the network settings (LAN) of the wireless router and change the IP range of the DHCP server to exclude the IP address that is assigned to the dvr.The other things you need to be concerned with are the settings for the wireless network. You may want to change the SSID of the network as well as creating a much stronger password than the default that it ships with. If WEP is enabled and it is not absolutely necessary for the devices you wish to use on it, it should be disabled. The router should default to using WPA2 or WPA2+PSK for security. In most cases you will also want to disable guest access.In addition, if the router supports changing the admin username, you should do so and you MUST change the administrative password.

Any device that has a proper DHCP server can auto configure the network connection and just work. Is that what you want to know? If you are using a static setup this would not work but most routers are setup for DHCP by default. It is mostly plug and play. If you need more details let me know.
