Connecting the Broadband Wireless Router (AP)
1 Connecting to the WAN port.
Connect the Ethernet cable with your xDSL/ATU-R to the 10Base-T Ethernet WAN port
on your Broadband Wireless Router (AP).
Note
1. The attached xDSL/ATU-R must provide a standard 10Base-T Ethernet connection.
Please use the Ethernet cable comes with your broadband device or any other
standard 10Base-T Ethernet cable.
2. The Ethernet cable supplied by your ISP for connecting to your xDSL/ATU-R may
be an Ethernet crossover or a straight-through cable. It is important to use the cable

Basic Configuration
To configure the device via web browser, at least one properly-configured PC must be
connected to the LAN port (connected directly or through an external hub/switch to the LAN
port of the device). The configuration can also be performed on a wireless client station (as
Network 2 on Connection Figure 2).
On Ethernet Client
To access the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) via the Ethernet interface, the host computer
must install TCP/IP protocol:
Step 1 Choose a client PC and configure it to get a dynamic IP from the Broadband
Wireless Router (AP).
Step 2 Start up your browser and type 192.168.0.1 as the address to enter the web-based
manager.
Step 3 Enter the default username and password. Both values are admin (small letters).
Step 4 Go to Basic > WAN Setting to finish basic configuration. From the drop-down list
select your WAN connection type. Available options include: Bridge, Obtain an IP
address automatically, PPPoE and Specify an IP address.
According to the type you selected, different parameters will appear. After you
finish setting all the parameters, click Apply.
Note: You should contact your ISP for the correct connection type and its
corresponding configuration information.
Step 5 Perform the task of Save and Reset to have new settings take effect. When the
connection is established, the client PCs can access the Internet or remote network
through the Broadband Wireless Router (AP).
On Wireless Client
Step 1 Install the wireless card driver and verify the wireless setting is as below:
1. The default SSID: IEEE 802.11 LAN
2. WEP encryption is disabled. Authentication Type is Open Key (or Open System according to
your Wireless LAN Card).
3. Use Infrastructure connection mode.
Step 2 Check that the TCP/IP protocol is installed on your wireless client PC. Configure it to get a
dynamic IP from the Broadband Wireless Router (AP).
Step 3 Enter the default username and password. Both values are admin (small letters).
Step 4 Go to Basic > WAN Setting to finish basic configuration. From the drop-down list select
your WAN connection type. Available options include: Bridge, Obtain an IP address
automatically, PPPoE and Specify an IP address.
According to the type you selected, different parameters will appear. After you
