Chapter 1 Introduction Congratulations on purchasing this 802.11g Wireless LAN Broadband Router. This Wireless Broadband Router is a cost-effective IP Sharing Router that enables multiple users to share the Internet through an ADSL or cable modem. Simply configure your Internet connection settings in the Wireless Broadband Router and plug your PC to the LAN port and you're ready to share files and access the Internet.
Get to know the Broadband Router Back Panel The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset: Figure 1.0 1) Antenna There is a 2dBi dipole antenna. 1) Local Area Network (LAN) The Broadband router’s 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches etc. 2) Wide Area Network (WAN) The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the Internet.
Front Panel On the router’s front panel there are LED lights that inform you of the router’s current status. Below is an explanation of each LED and its description.
Setup Diagram Figure 1.2 below shows a typical setup for a Local Area Network (LAN). Figure 1.2 Getting started This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet. 1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2). 2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one another.

Appendix A How to Manually find your PC’s IP and MAC address 1) In Window’s open the Command Prompt program 2) Type Ipconfig /all and • • • Your PC’s IP address is the one entitled IP address (192.168.1.77) The router’s IP address is the one entitled Default Gateway (192.168.1.
Glossary Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network.
create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC). TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable.
