ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11b Wireless Broadband Router. This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. It provides a complete solution for Internet surfing and office resources sharing, and it is easy to configure and operate for every users.

Purpose This manual discusses how to install the IEEE 802.11b Wireless

Broadband Router . Overview of this User’s Guide

Introduction. Describes the Wireless Broadband Router and its features.

Unpacking and Setup. Helps you get started with the basic installation of

the Wireless Router.

Identifying External Components. Describes the front panel, rear panel and LED in dicators of the Wireless Router.

Connecting the Router. Tells how you can connect the Wireless Router to your xDSL/Cable Modem .

INTRODUCTION

With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.

This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer, while providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires.

Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the Internet.

The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device.

This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings.

The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online games— the basis of the family computing lifestyle.

Applications:

Broadband Internet access:

Several computers can share one high- speed broadband connection through wireless or wired ( WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet).

Resource sharing:

Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.

File sharing:

Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space.

Online gaming:

Through the local area network, online gamin g and e-commerce services can be easily setup.

Firewall:

A built-in firewall function — for secur ity and anti -hack system. Features:

Ø High speed data transfer rate Ø Supports NAT for share 1 IP address to all LAN user. Ø Supports PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL. Ø Supports 64/128 bit WEP Encryption Ø Supports DHCP Server / Client. Ø Supports UPnP (Universal Plug and Play). Ø Supports virtual server mapping. Ø Supports packet filtering. Ø Simple Firewall protection. Ø Upgradeable firmware for future function. Ø Simple setting using Quick Setup. Ø Easy configuration via WEB Browser.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the Wireless Broadband Router .

Unpacking Open the box of the Wireless Broadband Router and carefully unpack it.

The box should contain the following items:

u One Wireless Internet Broadband Router u One external power adapter u One CD-Rom with this User’s Guide

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Setup The setup of the Wireless Broadband Router can be performed properly

using the following method s:

u The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the

Broadband Router.

u Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully

secured to the power adapter.

u Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate

ventilation around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband Router .

u Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless

Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.
