CONFIGURATION First make sure that the network connections are functioning normally. This WLAN Router can be configured using Internet Explorer 5.0 or newer web browser versions. Login to the WLAN Router Before you configure this device, note that when the WLAN Router, make sure the host PC must be set on the IP subnet that can be accessed by the xDSL/Cable modem. For example, when the default network address of the xDSL/Cable modem Ethernet interface is 192.168.1.x, then the host PC should be set at 192.
Step 1: Set your new password Setting the new admin password of the WLAN Router. Please click “Next” to continue. Step 2: Choose time zone Select the time zone from the drop down list. Please click “Next” to continue. Step 3: Set LAN connection and DHCP server Set user’s IP address and mask. The default IP is 192.168.1.1. If the user chooses to enable DHCP, please click “Enable”. DHCP enabled is able to automatically assign IP addresses.
Step 4: Set Internet connection The WLAN Router will attempt to auto detect your Internet Connection.
Obtain IP automatically (DHCP client): If the user has enabled DHCP server, choose "Obtain IP automatically (DHCP client)" to have the WLAN Router assign IP addresses automatically.
Fixed IP Address: If the Internet Service Provider (ISP) assigns a fixed IP address, choose this option and enter the assigned WAN IP Address, WAN Subnet Mask, WAN Gateway Address and DNS Server Addresses for the WLAN Router.
PPPoE to obtain IP automatically: If connected to the Internet using a PPPoE (Dial-up xDSL) connection, and the ISP provides a User Name and Password, then choose this option and enter the required information.
PPPoE with a Specify IP address: If connected to the Internet using a PPPoE (Dial-up xDSL) connection, and the ISP provides a User Name, Password and a Fixed IP Address, choose this option and enter the required information.
PPTP: If connected to the Internet using a PPTP xDSL connection, enter your IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, Server IP, PPTP Account and PPTP Password.
L2TP: If connected to the Internet using a L2TP (Dial-up xDSL) connection and the ISP provides a Server IP, Account and Password information, choose this option and enter the required information.
