Key Length: There are two basic levels of WEP encryption, 64 bits and 128 bits, the
more bits password have, the better security wireless network is, at the same time the
speed of wireless is more slower.
Key Mode: If you select WEP to encrypt your data, choose the bits of password, it should
be 64 bits or 128 bits. Then choose the format of password; it should be HEX or ASCII.
The valid character for HEX format should be numbers from 0 to 9 and letters from A to
F. HEX support mixed letter and number mode. And ASCII supports all characters that in
keyboard.
Key Length description: When you select 64bits, you need to input 10 chars for HEX and
38
Page 41
150Mbps Wireless Broadband Router User Manual
5 chars for ASCII, and when you select 128bits, you need to input 26 chars for HEX and
13 chars for ASCII.
Note: When the WPS is enabled, please not use WEP.

4.12.8. Reboot
Click “Reboot” button to restart the router.
5. Troubleshooting
1. I cannot access the Web-based Configuration Utility from the Ethernet computer used
to configure the router.
Check that the LAN LED is on. If the LED is not on, verify that the cable for the LAN
connection is firmly connected.
Check whether the computer resides on the same subnet with the router’s LAN IP address.
If the computer acts as a DHCP client, check whether the computer has been assigned an
IP address from the DHCP server. If not, you will need to renew the IP address.
Use the ping command to ping the router’s LAN IP address to verify the connection.
Make sure your browser is not configured to use a proxy server.
Check that the IP address you entered is correct. If the router’s LAN IP address has been
changed, you should enter the reassigned IP address instead.
2. I forget Password (Reset the Router without Login)
Use a pencil to press the button for about 2-6 seconds when it is working, then leave your
hands, it will restore settings to the factory configuration. The default password is admin.
3. I have some problems related to Connection with Cable Modem
Please follow the following steps to check the problems:
Check whether the DSL modem works well or the signal is stable. Normally there will be
some indicator lights on the modem, users can check whether the signal is ok or the
modem works well from those lights. If not, please contact the ISP.
Check the front panel of the Router, there are also some indicator lights there. When the
physical connection is correct, the Power light and the CPU light should be solid; the
WAN light should be blinking. If you use your computer, the corresponding LAN port
light should be blinking too. If not, please check whether the cables work or not.
56
Page 59
150Mbps Wireless Broadband Router User Manual
Repeat the steps in WAN Setup Connect with Internet through DSL Modem.
4. I can browse the router’s Web-based Configuration Utility but cannot access the
Internet.
Check if the WAN LED is ON. If not, verify that the physical connection between the
router and the DSL/Cable modem is firmly connected. Also ensure the DSL/Cable modem
is working properly.
If WAN LED is ON, open the System Overview page of the Web configuration utility and
check the status group to see if the router’ s WAN port has successfully obtained an IP
address.
Make sure you are using the correction method (Dynamic IP Address, PPPoE, or Static IP)
as required by the ISP. Also ensure you have entered the correct settings provided by the
ISP.
For cable users, if your ISP requires a registered Ethernet card MAC address, make sure
you have cloned the network adapter’ s MAC address to the WAN port of the router. (See
the MAC Address field in WAN Setup.)
5. My wireless client cannot communicate with another Ethernet computer.
Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly. You may open the Device Manager in
Windows to see if the adapter is properly installed.
Make sure the wireless client uses the same SSID and security settings (if enabled) as the
150Mbps Wireless Broadband Router.
Ensure that the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP settings are correct as required by your network
administrator.
If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, and check that the 802.11G Mode item in
Wireless Basic Setting page, is not configured to use 802.11G Performance.
Use the ping command to verify that the wireless client is able to communicate with the
router’s LAN port and with the remote computer. If the wireless client can successfully
ping the router’ s LAN port but fails to ping the remote computer, then verify the TCP/IP
settings of the remote computer.
