[ Step 1 ]

You should be inside the router web interface setup wizard. The first step is to setup your WAN interface. Depending on your Internet Service Provider’s provided modem, you’ll need to select the proper WAN type to connect to the Internet. Typically if you can connect to the Internet directly through your broadband modem, you would select “DHCP (auto config)”. If not, you’ll need to contact your Internet Service Provider for more details. Once you have selected the proper WAN type, click on “Next” to continue.

[ Final Step ]

The next step is setting up your wireless network security. We recommend that you set it with the following settings for best security . Caution: If you use these settings, you’ll need a wireless adapter that supports WPA-PSK encryption.

1. Select “WPA-PSK” for “Security Mode”

2. Select “TKIP” for “WPA Algorithms”

3. Enter a preferred wireless password into the “Pass phrase” field Note: You will need to remember this password if you want to connect to this wireless network

Once you have completed filling out the necessary settings, click on “Finish”. When the status screen shows up, you can check the Internet link status then you may now close your web browser. For advance set up, you can

3.3.1 Wireless 11n Router Setting

In AP/Router root page, user can change the language. Click Status, Statistic or Management can directly jump to the related pages.

3.3.2 Operation Mode Setting

There are four operation modes can choose, Bridge, Gateway, Ethernet Converter or AP Client. Bridge : All Ethernet ports and wireless interfaces are bridged into a single bridge interface. The router will work as bridge only.. Gateway: The device work as wireless router. The NAT will can set as enable or disable, WAN port need to link to the Internet. User can enable/disable the NA T function.

Ethernet Converter: The wireless interface is treated as WAN port, and the Ethernet ports are LAN ports. AP Client: The wireless set as wireless client so it is treated as WAN port, all the Ethernet ports are LAN ports.

User can enable/disable the NAT function.

3.4.1 WAN Setting

There are 5 selections for WAN connection type, the detail information as follows.

STATIC(Fixed IP): If you need to assign static IP addresses to the devices in your network, please remember that the IP address for each computer or device must be in the same IP address range as all the devices in the network. Each device must also have the same subnet mask. For example: Assign the first computer an IP address of 192.168.1.2 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, the second device an IP address of 192.168.1.3 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0, and so on. Note: Devices that are assigned the same IP address may not be visible on the network. Enter the IP address of the DNS server. The DNS server translates domain names into IP addresses.

DHCP(Auto config): It’s will auto get the IP address from the DHCP Server.. Assign the length of time for the IP lease, default setting is 86400 seconds. The Hostname is the name of the device.

PPPoE(ADSL):

Username and Password: Fill in the User Name and Password that provided by your ISP. Verify Password: Retype the password to confirm. Operation Mode: Set the router as Keep Alive or On demand.
