2) 3) 4) Repeat step 1 for up an additional three LAN connections. Establish a WAN connection: Connect one end of a network cable to the router WAN port, connect the other end of the network cable to an xDSL Modem, Cable Modem, Fiber Optic Modem or Ethernet WAN system. Provide power to the router: Connect the barrel connector on the power supply cord to the back of the router. Plug the power supply into a functional electrical outlet. The router should start up automatically after about 30 seconds. 3.4.
192.168.1.1 is the default router IP address. Users will see the following login page where a User Name and Password box will be displayed. Enter the user name and password (The WR300NQ default user name and password are "admin"), click the "OK" button. You will then enter the router configuration menu. Note: If you changed the WR300NQ's default IP address, you will need to use the new IP address you chose in order to access the WEB management interface.
4.2 Setup Wizard For Quick and Easy configuration a setup wizard is provided to set the WR300NQ basic settings. This should provide basic Internet access, wireless encryption and other basic functions: Setup Wizard: Wireless Network Setup welcome screen. 1 Choose the type of wireless router work you require. The most common will be”Gateway”.
2. Set up the NTP server location and select the time zone. Preferably choose the closest time server and the time zone that matches the location of the router. 3. Set up a wireless router's LAN interface configuration. The IP address is the address used to access the router from your web browser. The subnet mask address should match the subnet mask address of the network you are connecting to, or if you are setting up a new home network, you may use the default setting. 4.
5. The basic wireless parameter settings. Here you can customize the 802.11x wireless settings. First time users should use the default settings. You can choose which of the 802.11 bands to use, b, g, n. You can alter the router mode of operation and you can set your own SSID for the router. Make sure you know the SSID for the router as it will be required when adding wireless devices to your network. The radio channel width and sideband can be modified.
4.3 Wireless 4.3.1 Basic Wireless Basic Settings Disable Wireless: Disable or enable the wireless network. (Enabled = Default) Mode: Select the wireless network mode. (Default = B+G+N) Use Type: Choose the type of wireless network job SSID: Identifies you wireless network. Channel Width: Wireless channel operating frequency bandwidth. (Default = 40 MHz) Control Sideband: The sideband can be set to upper (High) or lower.
Fragment Threshold: Specifies the data packet fragmentation size threshold. When the data packet is longer than the fragmentation size threshold, the packet will automatically be divided into multiple packets. Small packets can cause poor network performance, so this value should not be set too low. Small packets are only beneficial if periodic interference is causing interference with larger packet sizes. RTS Threshold: Specifies the data packet RTS (Request to Send) threshold.
Note: The Advanced settings are part of the advanced wireless parameters, default values are recommended unless you understand their use. 4.3.3 Security Security settings. You can select the encryption method (WEP, WPA, WPA2). SSID: Select the SSID, for which you want to set the security method. Encryption method: Sets the encryption mode for the corresponding SSID. You may choose from the following options: 1 no encryption mode 2.WEP mode. 3.WPA mode. 4.WPA2 mode. 5.WPA-Mixed mode 802.
Control Mode: Provides the ability to allow or deny access to each MAC address added to a list. MAC address: Allows individual MAC addresses to be added to the list with the associated control mode. Comment: A comment may be added to each MAC address entry in the list. 4.3.5 WDS Wireless Distribution System allows multiple IEEE 802.11 network Access Points to interconnect with each other.
Enable WDS: Enables WDS function. MAC Address: The MAC address of each Access Point you with to add to the network must be entered individually to this list. Data Rate: Sets the transmission speed. Comment: Adding strategy to the current logo. 4.3.6 WPS WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) is a Wi-Fi Alliance security standard and was introduced to simplify encrypted setup of 802.11 wireless network devices. A WPS push-button is provided on each WPS enabled device.
Disable WPS: Allows the WPS function to be turned on and off. WPS Status: Displays the current status of the WPS function including: SSID, authentication, encryption type, the AP's PIN code and other information. PBC mode: PBC (Push Button Configuration) mode can be initiated in two ways, you can directly press the WPS push-button on the hardware, or select it within the software by selecting “Start PBC”.

By creating a multicast routing table, the IGMP proxy can improve the efficiency of network traffic. Enable PPTP pass through: Allows PPTP packets to pass from the router to the WAN. Enable IPsec Pass through: IP Sec allows packets to pass from the router from the WAN.
IP Address: This is the IP address assigned to the router that is used to access it from the LAN. The factory default address is: 192.168.1.1. The address may be changed if required. Subnet Mask: One or more subnets may exist on a LAN. This setting allows the user to select the desired subnet mask for the router. In most situations the default setting should be ok.
4.5.2 Static DHCP Enable Static DHCP: If you want to use DHCP mode, but you have one or more clients that must have a specific IP address assigned to them, the unique MAC address from each client can be entered in this list along with the associated IP address you wish the DHCP server to assign to the client. This option is enabled when the box is checked. IP Address: List the IP address to be assigned to the device MAC address entered below.
4.6 QOS Setting The QOS (Quality of Service) feature is used to optimize upload and download traffic control for specific client devices connected to the LAN. Rules are set for one client at a time and are saved to a table. Enable: Selecting this checkbox enables the QOS function. Automatic Uplink Speed: Selecting this checkbox allows the router to choose an optimum uplink speed. Manual Uplink Speed: Selecting this checkbox allows the user to choose and enter an uplink speed.
the LAN, enter the beginning and ending IP addresses here. Each client device on the LAN within the entered address range will have QOS applied with the associated rules. MAC Address: If QOS is to be applied to a specific device with a known MAC addresses, the MAC address can be entered here. This method may be asier to use if you cannot set a static IP address in your client device.

Chapter 6: Wireless Overview 6.1 ReadyNet WLAN Information READYNET wireless products are based on industry standards for your home, business or public access wireless network. They provide simple, compatible, high-speed wireless connection. By strictly adhering to the 802.11 IEEE standards, READYNET wireless products will allow you to access secure data in your home or small business, when and where you want.
Internet is part of a Wide Area Network or WAN. A device called a MODEM is usually used to access the WAN using DSL, Cable, Fiber Optic, or a Wireless connection. The modem converts the incoming WAN signal from the internet to a wired Ethernet connection that can be connected to a router. A router is a bridge between the WAN and a LAN. A router takes a single connection to the WAN and by changing the addressing it allows the signals to be routed to multiple computers and other network devices in the LAN.
the router must be reset to the factory default settings. This will allow the default IP address, username and password to function again. Once the router is reset and the router menu accessed, new settings can be applied to the router. Here are the steps for resetting the router: 1. Find the small hole marked “Reset” on the rear panel of the router. The reset button is recessed in this hole. 2. Disconnect power from the router, and then use a pen or the end of a paper clip to press the Reset button. 3.
through the NAT must be translated to the correct IP address. 5. What factors affect the wireless signals? 1. 802.11b/g/n wireless broadband utilizes microwaves for communication. Microwaves travel best in straight lines between the access point and client antennas. Obstacles such as walls, persons, furnishings or other items that lie between the access point and client antennas can reduce and sometimes completely block the microwave transmissions.
