scale, SOHO user to lay out WAN and LAN. WRB64 and
WRB64MIMO provide multi-protection for the security for the
networks, such as support or prohibit SSID broadcast, not
allowing AP to broadcast SSID network name for SSID
prevention. WRB64 and WRB64MIMO support WEP for the
security of WLANS with powerful firewall. WRB64 and
WRB64MIMO allow many PCs to share one PC’s WAN Cable and
one Internet account by ISP. WRB64 and WRB64MIMO allow
various ways to internet, such as ADSL, Cable Modem, dial up
automatically, easy to configure. WRB64 and WRB64MIMO
combine 4 ports Ethernet Switch to connect with Ethernet
adapters. VLAN server allow Internet user to visit website, FTP
and other service in LAN. WRB64 and WRB64MIMO control the
outside visit, configure different authorized access. WRB64 and
WRB64MIMO support Web management, DMZ, network game and
videoconference.
This manual is the user’s guide for WRB64 and WRB64MIMO.
This manual consists of hardware specification, installation
guide, configuration guide and definition on how to use WRB64
and WRB64MIMO.
Pls use this manual for your reference.

(DHCP Client connection for example).
__________________________________________________________
6.2 – Wireless wizard
Please send the radio region domain. Because Europe may not
be referenced, please select ‘Others’.
During a few seconds, the router is searching for existing
wireless network that may affect the performance and stability
of the wireless network of the router.
WARNING / the very first models of wireless cards sold in France
were accepting only channels 10 to 13. To keep compatibility
with these equipments, we suggest you to use a free channel in
this range. The channel 11 is the usual radio channel in France.
If this channel is not free, please use channel 13 or another
channel which is a least 2 channels far from a busy channel.
