1 Introduction

1.1 Overview

Thank you for choosing this Wireless Broadband Router. This
Wireless Broadband Router is a multi-function device featuring a
wireless 54Mbps Access Point, a 4-port LAN switch and a WAN port,
which extends the existing broadband Cable/ADSL connection. It
allows the Internet connection to be shared through either the
54Mbps Access Point feature or the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch,
which also eliminates the purchase of additional hub or switch. Now
the wired and wireless networks are integrated to allow various
applications to access the Internet.

With the support of the newly emerged 802.11g standard, the
Access Point provides data transfer of up to 54 Mbps, up to 5 times
faster than 802.11b. Since 802.11g operates on the same frequency
of 2.4 GHz as 802.11b, it is backwards compatible with existing Wi­Fi 802.11b devices. The benefit is that you can preserve the existing

802.11b infrastructure while migrating to the new 802.11g
infrastructure.

The router has a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP
addresses to your LAN or WLAN devices. With the built-in Network
Address Translation (NAT) function, your LAN/WLAN can access
the Internet through a single external IP address and at the same
time protected from outside intruders. The router can also be
configured to filter internal access to the Internet. It is designed to
provide a reliable Internet access solution for the corporate
environment as well as for the small office home office (SOHO).

3 Configuring Local Computer to

Access the Wireless Router

This chapter describes how to configure a computer for initial
connection to the device.

3.1 Overview

To access the Wireless Broadband Router’ s Web-based
Configuration Utility, at least one properly configured PC must be
connected to the device and reside on the same subnet with the
Wireless Broadband Router. The easiest way to make the
connection is attaching your host computer’ s network card directly to
the LAN port of the device.

Whatever your connection method is, the computer’ s Ethernet
/wireless interface must be on the same subnet as the router. As the
Wireless Broadband Router is configured with these default values:

• IP address: 192.168.1.1

• Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0

• DHCP server: Enabled with the IP address pool from

192.168.1.100 to 192.168.1.150.

So you should set up your NIC or wireless adapter’ s TCP/IP settings
as one of the following:

1. To use dynamic IP: Set your PC to be DHCP client to accept the
dynamic IP from the router’ s DHCP server.

2. To use static IP: Set the IP address as 192.168.1.x (x is
between 2 and 254), subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and the
gateway as 192.168.1.1

The default TCP/IP setting for Windows is acting as a DHCP client.
Please proceed to the next section to verify or, if necessary, to
configure the TCP/IP settings.

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

4.3 WAN Configuration – Router Mode

Prior to configuring the Wireless Broadband Router, you must
decide whether to configure the device as a router or as a bridge.
This section only describes how to set up the device to act as a
router. For bridge configuration, see “4.4 WAN Configuration –
Bridge Mode” for instructions.

NAT Routing allows the device to act as a router and use the built­in NAT function to translate your multiple private IP addresses into a
single public IP address. However, only outgoing requests are
allowed to pass through the device unless you specify otherwise,
see “4.8 Filters (Router Mode Only)”. Outside users cannot see your
private local IP addresses. This leaves your home or business
network hidden from outside intruders, see “4.9 Forwarding (Router
Mode Only)”.

Click WAN in the configuration menu to enter the WAN configuration
page and carry out the procedures below.

Part 1 Configuring general settings

1. WAN/LAN Relation: select the NAT Routing option (factory

default option).

2. Protocol: select a protocol type to indicate how the Wireless

Broadband Router connects with the existing network
environment.

3. MAC Address: Leave the default values if it is not necessary to

enter another MAC address. This field allows cloning another
network adapter’ s MAC address to the Wireless Broadband
Router’ s address. Some ISPs use the MAC address of NIC,
which is connected to your Cable/ADSL modem, for static
mapping and thus giving you the same IP address each time the
Cable/ADSL modem requests for IP address for the Ethernet
port. If this is the case, this feature eliminates the need of asking
the ISP or network administrator to change the registered MAC
address and you can still use the same given IP for the router’ s
WAN port.

23

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

3. Host Name: If required, enter a host name for this router. Some

ISPs only respond to a DHCP request with a valid “Host Name”.
If a host name is not necessary for your ISP/network
environment, just leave it blank.

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

Username/Password: Enter the username and password provided
by the ISP used to log on to the Internet.

Connection Mode: Select your PPP connection from these options:

Keep Alive: This feature will keep your Internet connection

always alive. The Wireless Broadband Router sends echo
requests periodically to the ISP to prevent the connection from
being terminated by the ISP.

Connect on Demand: If enabled, the router will trigger a PPP
session for connection to the Internet if any client PC on your
WLAN/LAN sends out a request for Internet access. However,
the router automatically disconnects the PPP session after the
WAN connection has been idle for the amount of time you
specified in the Max Idle Time box (default, 300 seconds). If
your Internet account is billed based on the amount of time of
your Internet connection, you probably want to enable this
option and enter an idle time value best suitable for your
network.

MTU/MRU: Allows you to adjust the Maximum
Transmission/Receive Unit in bytes for the WAN interface. The
packets larger than the specified values will be fragmented before
being transmitted. It’ s suggested not to modify the MTU/MRU
settings unless instructed by the ISP.

After you finish the WAN settings, click Apply to enable the
changes.

your ISP.

IP Address/Subnet Mask/Default Gateway: Enter the IP address,
subnet mask, and default gateway given by the ISP in respective
fields.

DNS Servers: Specifies the IP address of the Domain Name Server.
Your LAN side DHCP clients use the DNS to map a domain name to
its corresponding IP address and vice versa. Up to three DNS
servers are allowed. If no DNS server is specified or the specified
servers are not available, the router will automatically assign a DNS
server to the DHCP clients.

WINS Servers: Optional for Windows Internet Name Service. Enter
the IP addresses of WINS servers if required.

Services: Select whether to enable DHPC service for LAN and

WLAN. The Wireless Broadband Router implements a built-in
DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server on its LAN and
WLAN interface, which dynamically assigns IP addresses to the
DHCP clients on the LAN / WLAN. The DHCP server also provides a
default gateway (the router’ s LAN IP address) and DNS addresses
for DHCP clients to access the Internet. DHCP function spares you
the hassle of manually assigning a fixed IP address to each PC on
the LAN / WLAN. If you already have a DHCP server on your
network you should disable this function. DHCP server is enabled by
default.

It is not allowed to have two DHCP servers running on one LAN at the
same time. If you decide to enable the DHCP on this router, remember
to disable the DHCP function of the other device.

Note

If DHCP server is enabled, enter the fields below:

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

DHCP Lease Time: Specify the time that a network device can use
a private IP address before the DHCP server reassigns the IP
address.

IP Pool Range: Specify the starting and ending IP address of the IP
address pool. Whenever a network device requests an Internet
session, the router will allocate an unused IP address from this pool
and lease them to the device for a specified amount of time.

u LAN Spanning Tree Protocol (Router Mode Only)

Select whether to enable or disable this function. Spanning Tree
Protocol stops network loops from occurring in a bridged LAN. It
finds the redundant link and closes it.

The Wireless Broadband Router implements Access Point capability,
which connects wireless clients to a wired LAN. It allows wireless
stations to access network resources and share the broadband
Internet connection.

u Wireless Interface: Displays the MAC address of the wireless

interface.

u Basic Configuration

SSID: Service Set ID. It uniquely identifies a logical network domain
name of your WLAN. The default value is wireless.

Network Type: An Open AP will periodically broadcast its SSID to
inform the wireless clients of its presence. When set to Closed, the
Access Point does not broadcast its presence. Wireless clients must
know in advance the SSID of the AP in order to establish the
connection.

Country: Select the country where this device is operating. The AP
uses only the legal frequency channels allowed in that regulatory
domain.

31

allowed.

u Advanced Configuration

It’ s not recommended to modify the Advanced parameters unless
specific requirement is needed. The parameters are described as
below:

34

Radio: Choose whether to enable or disable the RF (Radio
Frequency) of the AP.

Band: Displays the operating frequency of the AP.
Channel: Varies according to the specified Country.
Rate: The default setting, Auto, allows the AP to automatically use

the fastest possible data rate. Selecting a specific rate forces the AP
to transmit at a particular speed.

Basic Rate Set: The Default option uses 1 or 2 Mbps for 802.11b
and 6, 12 or 24Mbps for 802.11g as the basic rate of your wireless
network. The All option uses 1, 2, 5.5, 6, 9, 11, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, or
54Mbps. The wireless clients must support the basic rate to
successfully associate with the AP.

Fragment Threshold: It determines whether packets will be
fragmented and at what size. On an 802.11 wireless LAN, packets

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

exceeding the fragmentation threshold are fragmented, i.e., split into,
smaller units suitable for the circuit size. On the other hand, packets
smaller than the specified fragmentation threshold value are not
fragmented.

RTS Threshold: Request to send threshold. It specifies the packet
size beyond which the AP invokes its RTS/CTS mechanism.
Packets that exceed the specified RTS threshold trigger the
RTS/CTS mechanism.

DTIM: Specifies the Deferred Traffic Indicator Map (DTIM) period.
This value determines at which interval the AP will send its
broadcast traffic. The default value is 3.

Beacon Interval: Defines the periodic interval at which the Access
Point sends out a beacon.

54gTM Mode: This item allows you to choose from these
communication options:

• 54g Auto: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can

communicate with this AP. The data rate will be

automatically adjusted.

• 54g Performance: Only 802.11g wirless clients can

communicate with the AP.

• 54g LRS: LRS stands for Limited Rate Support. This option

is intended to support legacy clients (802.11b). Select this

option if wireless clients are experiencing difficulties to

associate with the AP. This option supports both 802.11g

and 802.11b clients.

• 802.11b Only: Both 802.11g and 802.11b clients can

communicate with this AP. The data rate will be

automatically adjusted to the one supported by the 802.11b

standard.
54g Protection: Select Off or Auto. The default value is set to Off.

When set to Auto, a protection mechanism will ensure that 802.11b
wireless devices will connect to the Access Point when many

802.11g wireless devices are present. However, performance of
your 802.11g wireless devices may be decreased.

Enable Xpress ™ Technology: Select Off or Auto. When set to
Auto, it increases the bandwidth availability that enables more

This page configures the wireless security mode.

u Network Authentication

Network Authentication: Disabled by default. If the local network
has an authentication server such as Radius server, the user can

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

enable this function by choosing either 802.1X or WPA. This option
fulfills the security that an enterprise needs. If the local network does
not have an authentication server, it’ s recommended to use WPA-
PSK (Pre-Shared Key). This option is commonly used in small office
home office (SOHO) environments.

WPA Pre-Shared Key: If WPA-PSK is the network authentication
option, enter a secret key. Check the table below for instructions
when entering the key.

Format Minimum Characters Maximum Characters

ASCII 8 63
Hexadecimal 8 64

WPA Group ReKey Interval: For WPA and WPA-PSK only.
Specifies the timer the WPA key must changes. The change is done
automatically between the server and the client.

Radius Server: For 802.1X and WPA only. Enter the IP Address of
the authentication server, commonly the Radius server.

Radius Port: Enter the port number of the authentication server.
The default port number is 1812.

Radius Key: Enter the same key as the Radius server’ s.

u WEP

Data Encryption: Specifies the encryption mode that the AP uses to
transmit the data. Encryption type changes according to the
Network Authentication mode. Encryption protects your wireless
network against eavesdropping.

• Off: The data is not encrypted when it is transferred from

one station to another. This is the default option.

• WEP: Only for 802.1X or when authentication is disabled.

The data is encrypted with the WEP algorithm before being

transmitted. If WEP is selected, enter the values in the

Network Key fields.

• TKIP: Only for WPA and WPA-PSK. Temporal Key

37

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

Integrity Protocol (TKIP) utilizes a stronger encryption

algorithm and includes Message Integrity Code (MIC) to

provide protection against hackers.

• AES: Only for WPA and WPA-PSK. Advanced Encryption

System (AES) utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data

encryption. It’ s the strongest encryption currently available.
Shared Key Authentication: Authentication is a process in which

the AP validates whether the wireless client is qualified to access the
AP’ s service. Select Optional or Required.

• Optional: The authentication is done through a pseudo

process, accepting all kinds of requests, mainly used in

cases where connectivity is more important than security.

• Required: Utilizes WEP capability to further verify if a

wireless client is authorized to share this AP’ s resource. If

the client has the wrong key or no key, the authentication

will fail and will not be allowed to associate with the AP.
If you select Optional, wireless stations with or without correct WEP

keys can be authenticated by the AP.
If Required is selected, you must enable WEP function and define

your WEP keys. The keys are used both to authenticate wireless
clients and encrypt outgoing data.

38

Network Key 1~4: Enter one to four WEP keys in either ASCII or
Hexadecimal format. You can use 64 bits or 128 bits as the
encryption algorithm.

Note that when using Hexadecimal format, only digits 0-9 and letters
A-F, a-f are allowed. Valid key length for each encryption type is as
below:

Key Length HEX Format ASCII Format

64 Bit 10 hexadecimal digits 5 ASCII characters
128 Bit 26 hexadecimal digits 13 ASCII characters

Current Network Key: Aside from entering the WEP keys, select
one of the entered keys to encrypt the data before transmission. The
AP always transmits data encrypted using the selected WEP Key.
The receiving station will use the key number to determine which

Note

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

key to use for decryption. If the key value does not match with the
transmitting station, the decryption will fail. To ensure successful
decryption, have your wireless stations set identical key tables.

All Wireless Stations must use identical encryption/authentication
method and Key values (same key position in its key table) to ensure
successful data transmission.

4.9 Forwarding (Router Mode Only)

This page allows you to configure the Forwarding feature. Unlike
Filter, which governs outgoing traffic, Forwarding is used to control
external access to the local network. This is commonly used when
you have publicly accessible virtual servers on your local network.

By default, forwarding entry is empty and any external access to
your LAN is blocked. Once you define a forwarding entry, incoming
packets (identified by its port number) that match your Forwarding
criteria will be forwarded to the port range of the specified local
machine. Otherwise packets are blocked. Forwarding serves as a

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

measure of security that protects your network from hazardous
packets.

However, if you designate a DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) IP Address,
incoming packets that do not match the forwarding criteria will be
redirected to the DMZ IP address. That is, forwarding demands a
higher priority than DMZ.

u DMZ IP Address

DMZ allows specifying a local machine to be exposed to the Internet.
If you specify a DMZ host here, the incoming packets containing no
port information specified in the Forwarding table are forwarded to
the DMZ host.

5 Troubleshooting

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 act 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. See

the check/renew IP address section under ‘ 3.2 Setting up

TCP/IP’ for instructions.

• 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.

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 (DHCP

client, PPPoE client, or Manual Config) as required by the

ISP. Also ensure you have entered the correct settings

49

Wireless Broadband Router User Manual

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 page.)

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 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, check that the

54gTM Mode item, in Wireless LAN (2.4G) page, is not

configured to use 54g Performace.

• 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.
