WPS RESET LAN 1~4 WAN To enable the WPS function via web configuration (Wireless > WPS), then press the WPS button once on the Wireless Router, the WPS LED will start to flash. To make a connection with other WPS supported device within 3 minutes. Keep on pressing the Reset button more than 3 seconds, the Wireless Router will set all setting back to factory default values. Use standard LAN cables (RJ45 connectors) to connect your PCs to the port. If required, any port can be connected to another hub.
Chapter 2: About Operation Modes Please go to the Wireless> WDS to set up the WDS function (Bridge or Repeater) of the Wireless Router. Gateway Mode The wireless connection will be set up from a point-to-point local LAN into a point-to-multipoint WAN. This device connects all the stations (PC/notebook with wireless function) to a wireless network. All stations can have the Internet access if only the device has the Internet connection.
Wireless Distribution System uses wireless media to communicate with other APs, like the Ethernet does. To do this, you must set these APs in the same channel and wireless MAC address to each other APs that you want to communicate with. Repeater (WDS+AP) Mode If set to Repeater mode, a device connects to each other through an access point or a base station (gateway or router.
Chapter 3: Configuration Hardware Connection 1. Connect one end of the Ethernet cable to the LAN port of the Wireless Router, another end to your PC or notebook. 2. There are two connection methods to connect to Internet (Only one can be selected): ¾ Connect Ethernet cable one end to the WAN port of the Wireless Router, the other end to the ADSL or cable modem. ¾ Or you can insert USB 3.5G card (that provide by your ISP) into USB port. 3. Finally, connect the Wireless Router with a power to an outlet.

Chapter 4: PC Configuration Overview For each PC, the following may need to be configured: • • • TCP/IP network settings Internet Access configuration Wireless configuration Windows Clients • • • This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless Router. The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings. The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
3. 4. Select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card. Click on the Properties button. You should then see a screen like the following. 5. Ensure your TCP/IP settings are correct, as described below. Using DHCP • • To use DHCP, select the radio button Obtain an IP Address automatically. This is the default Windows setting. Using this is recommended. By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server. Restart your PC to ensure it obtains an IP Address from the Wireless Router.
• If the DNS Server fields are empty, select Use the following DNS server addresses, and enters the DNS address or addresses provided by your ISP, then click OK. Checking TCP/IP Settings - Windows XP 1. 2. Select Control Panel - Network Connection. Right click the Local Area Connection and choose Properties. You should see a screen like the following: 3. 4. Select the TCP/IP protocol for your network card. Click on the Properties button. You should then see a screen like the following. 5.
Using DHCP • • To use DHCP, select the radio button Obtain an IP Address automatically. This is the default Windows setting. Using this is recommended. By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server. Restart your PC to ensure it obtains an IP Address from the Wireless Router. Using a fixed IP Address ("Use the following IP Address") If your PC is already configured, check with your network administrator before making the following changes.
Accessing AOL To access AOL (America On Line) through the Wireless Router, the AOL for Windows software must be configured to use TCP/IP network access, rather than a dial-up connection. The configuration process is as follows: 1. Start the AOL for Windows communication software. Ensure that it is Version 2.5, 3.0 or later. This procedure will not work with earlier versions. 2. Click the Setup button. 3. Select Create Location, and change the location name from "New Locality" to " Wireless Router ". 4.
• OR, restart your system. Other Unix Systems To access the Internet via the Wireless Router: • • Ensure the "Gateway" field for your network card is set to the IP Address of the Wireless Router. Ensure your DNS (Name Server) settings are correct. Wireless Station Configuration • • This section applies to all wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless Router 's access point, regardless of the operating system that is used on the client.
Appendix A: Troubleshooting A Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1: Solution 1: Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
• Problem 2: Solution 2: If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly. Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router. The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. Use the Content Filter Settings feature to allow the use of Internet applications, which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function.
• RF Shielding Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Wireless Router.
Appendix B: About Wireless LANs B BSS BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other. Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication. • • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used.
WPA/WPA2 WPA/WPA2 (Wi-Fi Protected Access) is more secure than WEP. It uses a “Shared Key” which allows the encryption keys to be regenerated at a specified interval. There are several encryption options: TKIP, AES, TKIP-AES and additional setup for RADIUS is required in this method. The most important features beyond WPA to become standardized through 802.11i/WPA2 are: preauthentication, which enables secure fast roaming without noticeable signal latency.
WPA-PSK WPA2-PSK WPA WPA2 WPA WPA2 802.1x securities is enabled on the Wireless Router. To make a connection, each station must use the same algorithms and pass phrase as the Wireless Router. RADIUS Server: RADIUS is an authentication, authorization and accounting client-server protocol. The client is a Network Access Server that desires to authenticate its links. The server is a server that has access to a user database with authentication information.
