ABOUT THIS GUIDE

Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11g 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 802.11g 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 indicators

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

Modem.
Technical Specifications. Lists the technical (general, physical and environmental,

performance and Routers settings) specifications of the Wireless Broadband Router.

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 gaming and e-commerce services can

be easily setup.
Firewall: A built-in firewall function — for security and anti-hack system.

UNPACKING AND SETUP

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the IEEE 802.11g Wireless
Broadband Router.

Unpacking

Open the box of the Wireless Broadband Router and carefully unpack it. The box should
contain the following items:



One IEEE 802.11g Wireless Broadband Router



One 2dBi dipole antenna



One CD-ROM with User’s Guide



One AC Power adapter

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
methods:



The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.



Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power
adapter.



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.



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.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Front Panel

The figure below shows the front panel of the Wireless Broadband Router.

Figure 1. Front panel

POWER

This indicator lights green when the hub is receives power, otherwise it is off.

Status

This indicator blinks green means the Internet Broadband Router is working successful.
Otherwise, this indicator always on or off means the function of the Internet Broadband Router
is fail.

WAN (Link/ACT)

The indicators light green when the WAN port was connected to an xDSL/Cable modem
successfully.

The indicators blink green while the WAN port was transmitting or receiving data on the
xDSL/Cable modem.

WLAN (ACT)

This indicator lights green when there are wireless devices connected and transmitting data to
the Wireless Router.

LAN (Link/ACT)

These indicators light green when the LAN ports were connected successfully.
These indicators blink green while the LAN ports were transmitting data.

6

Rear Panel

The figure below shows the rear panel of the Wireless Broadband Router.

Figure 2. Rear Panel

Antenna

There are one 2 dBi Gain Antenna in the rear panel for wireless connection.

LAN (1-4)

Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps
Ethernet connections.

WAN

In the four port broadband router, there is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN
that will fit the xDSL/Cable modem’s specification need.

DC IN

Plug the power adapter to this power jack

RESET

Use a pin-shape item to push to reset this device to factory default settings. It will be useful too
when the manager forgot the password to login, but the setting will be back to default setting.

Hardware connections

Connect the Router using LAN

1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the Wireless Internet Broadband
Router.

2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or Cable modem.

3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer system; the other
end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the Internet Broadband Router. Since the
Wireless Broadband Router has four ports, you can connect up to four computers directly to
the unit. There you do not have to buy a switch to connect these computers since one
Internet Broadband Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.

Connect the Router using Wireless LAN

Figure 3. Connecting the WLAN Router

1. Plug in one end of the RJ45 network cable to the xDSL/Cable Modem.

2. Plug in the other end of the RJ45 network cable to the Wireless Internet Broadband Router

WAN port.

Check the installation

The control LEDs of the Wireless Internet Broadband Router are clearly visible and the status
of the network link can be seen instantly:

1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the broadband modem, the Power,

CPU, LAN, WLAN and WAN port link LEDs of the Internet Broadband Router will light
up indicating a normal status.

2. While the WAN is link up to the ADSL/Cable modem, the WAN port’s Link/ACT LED will
light up.

3. While the LAN is link up to the computer system, the LAN port’s Link/ACT LED will light
up.
