Troubleshooting
Issue 1: I cannot access the Web Management Interface.
a. Check whether the LAN LED Indicator is on. If the indicator is not on, confirm that
the cable for the LAN connection is firmly connected.
b. Check whether the TCP/IP parameters in the Ethernet computer are set properly.
(See the detail settings in Appendix A.)
c. Check whether the IP address (Default: 192.168.100.1) you entered is correct. If
you have changed the LAN IP address of the router, you should enter the changed IP
in your browser instead of the default.
Issue 2: I cannot connect to the router wirelessly from an Ethernet
computer.
a. Confirm the "Broadcast SSID" is enabled and you are connecting to the right SSID.
b. Confirm that you sent the right encryption key when the router is encrypted.
c. Confirm TCP/IP set to obtain an IP address automatically in the Ethernet co m p u te r.
d. If you can use another device to access the router, check WLAN NIC and wireless
driver of the Ethernet computer is working properly.
Issue 3: I can connect to the router but cannot access the Internet.
a. Check whether the WAN LED Indicator is on or not. If the indicator is not on,
confirm that the AP is firmly connected to the Internet. If the AP accesses the
Internet with a DSL/cable modem, check that the physical connection between the
AP and the modem and ensure the DSL/cable modem is working properly. If the
modem is working abnormally, please contact the ISP.
b. If the WAN indicator is on, make a LAN connection between the router and an
Ethernet computer. Then open the Status page of the Web Management Interface
and check whether the WAN port of the router has successfully obtained an IP
address. If the WAN port cannot get IP, please reset settings to default and
reconfigure the router.
Issue 4: I forgot the password to login to my account.
Press and hold the reset button on the router for more than 5 seconds and then
release it, the system will be restored to the factory settings, and you can login to the
Web Management Interface with the default account and password “admin”.

Glossary
MIMO - Multiple-input and multiple-output (MIMO) is the use of multiple antennas
at both the transmitter and receiver to improve communication performance.
802.11b - 802.11b is used in a point-to-multipoint configuration, wherein an access
point communicates via an omnidirectional antenna with one or more nomadic or
mobile clients that are located in a coverage area around the access point. 802.11b
has a maximum raw data rate of 11 Mbit/s and uses the same CSMA/CA media
access method defined in the original standard.
802.11g - 802.11g is the third modulation standard for wireless LANs. It works in the
2.4 GHz band (like 802.11b) but operates at a maximum raw data rate of 54 Mbit/s,
or about 19 Mbit/s net throughputs.
802.11n - 802.11n has a significant increase in the maximum net data rate from 54
Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s with the use of four spatial streams at a channel width of 40
MHz. 802.11n standardized support for multiple-input multiple-output and frame
aggregation, and security improvements, among other features.
802.1d Spanning Tree - The Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is a network protocol that
ensures a loop-free topology for any bridged Ethernet local area network. The basic
function of STP is to prevent bridge loops and the broadcast radiation that results
from them. Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) is standardized as IEEE 802.1d.
802.1x Authentication - IEEE 802.1x is part of the IEEE 802.1 group of networking
protocols. It provides an authentication for wireless local area networks (WLANs),
which allowing a user to be authenticated by a central authority.
LAN - Local Area Network (LAN) is a local computer network for communication
between computers.
WAN - Wide Area Network (WAN) is a network that covers a broad area (i.e., any
telecommunications network that links across metropolitan, regional, or national
boundaries) using private or public network transports.
WLAN - Virtual Local Area Network (WLAN) is a technology which combines
computer network and wireless communication system.
VLAN - Wireless Local Area Network (VLAN) provides different domains which are
mutually isolated so that packets can only pass between them via one or more
routers.
DSL - Digital Subscriber Line (DSL) is a family of technologies that provide internet
access by transmitting digital data over the wires of a local telephone network.
DHCP - The Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) is a network protocol that is
used to configure network devices so that they can communicate on an IP network.
DNS - The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical distributed naming system for
computers, services, or any resource connected to the Internet or a private network.
78
DDNS - Dynamic DNS (DDNS) is a method of updating, in real time, a DNS to point to
a changing IP address on the Internet. This is used to provide a persistent domain
name for a resource that may change location on the network.
SSID - Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a sequence of characters that uniquely names a
wireless local area network (WLAN). The maximum length of the SSID is currently 32
characters long.
MAC Clone - Most ISPs bind an IP with a MAC address to constrain the users to share
the network. MAC Clone function is used to clone your computer’s MAC address to
the router to lift the network sharing constraint.
WMM - Wireless Multimedia Extensions (WME), also known as Wi-Fi Multimedia
(WMM), is a Wi-Fi Alliance interoperability certification, based on the IEEE 802.11e
standard. It provides basic Quality of service (QoS) features to IEEE 802.11 networks.
WEP - Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a security algorithm for IEEE 802.11 wireless
networks. WEP, recognizable by the key of 10 or 26 hexadecimal digits, is widely in
use and is often the first security choice presented to users by router configuration
tools.
WPA/WPA2 - Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) are
two security protocols and security certification programs developed by the Wi-Fi
Alliance to secure wireless computer networks. The Alliance defined these in
response to serious weaknesses researchers had found in the previous system, WEP
(Wired Equivalent Privacy).
RADIUS - Remote Authentication Dial in User Service (RADIUS) is a networking
protocol that provides centralized Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting
(AAA) management for computers to connect and use a network service.
QoS - Quality of service (QoS) is a technology that used to solve the issues of network
latency and blocking by setting several related aspects.
DoS - Denial of service (DoS) usually refers to an attack that attempts to make
network resource unavailable to its intended users by flooding a network or server
with requests and data.
NTP - Network Time Protocol (NTP) is a networking protocol for clock
synchronization between computer systems over packet-switched, variable-latency
data networks.
Daylight Saving Time - Daylight Saving Time (DST) which also called summer time in
several countries in British English, and European official terminology, is the practice
of advancing clocks so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less.
Typically clocks are adjusted forward one hour near the start of spring and are
adjusted backward in autumn.
