high performance Internet access for desktop or laptop
computers, tablets, smartphones and a wide variety of home
entertainment devices, like HDTVs, set top boxes, Blu-ray
players and game consoles.
Maximum data rates are based on IEEE 802.11 standards. Actual throughput and range may vary depending on many factors including environmental conditions, distance between devices, radio interference in the operating environment, and
mix of devices in the network. EnGenius Technologies, Inc. EnShareTM supports both FAT32 and NTFS USB formats. Transfer speeds of data from your router-attached USB storage device to a remote/mobile device may vary based on Internet
uplink and downlink speeds, bandwidth trafc at either send or receive locations, the data retrieval performance of the attached storage device or other factors. EnGenius does not guarantee compatibility with all USB drives. EnGenius does
not warrant its products or EnShare from loss of data or loss of productivity time. Features and specications subject to change without notice. Trademarks and registered trademarks are the property of their respective owners. For United
States of America: Copyright ©2013 EnGenius Technologies, Inc. All rights reserved.
The router’s design enables users to connect numerous wired
and wireless devices to it and supports intensive applications
like streaming HD video and sharing of media in the home and
accessing media away from the home with EnShare - Your
Personal Media Cloud.

Product Overview
A Media Sharing Platform
The ESR300 is designed to access and share media for
devices on the home network. In addition to connecting
USB Media Anywhere
with EnShare
TM
home entertainment components to any of its available
Fast Ethernet ports, the ESR300 also includes a USB port
for attaching a USB storage device so wireless devices in
the home or away from the home can access media content
wherever there is an available Internet connection through
EnShare™ - Your Personal Media Cloud.
EnShare is available as an Internet portal for accessing stored
media connected to the USB port of the router (See the
Using EnShare document in the product packaging). EnShare
will also be available as an app for Apple iOS devices (iPads,
iPods and iPhones) and Android-based devices (smartphones,
tablet PCs, Kindle and other mobile readers) soon. The apps
will be available through Apple iTunes Store and Google Play
respectively.
Attach USB storage to the ESR300 and access
video, music, and other media throughout
your home or away from home from your
smartphone, tablet, or laptop.
More Guest Access Options
The ESR300 also includes up to four (4) separate and discrete
Industry-standard Wireless Security
The router supports a variety of security features and
mechanisms including industry-standard WPA/WPA2 wireless
encryption to prevent unauthorized access to your network. It
also includes a built-in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) rewall
to help prevent attacks from malicious software (malware)
from the Internet. The router also supports IPv6.
Guest Access options allowing the router’s administrator to
assign different names (SSIDs-Service Set Identiers) for each
login to the home network so friends or visitors can access the
user’s Internet connection without accessing personal data
stored on networked computers in the home.

When considering the placement of the
router
remember the following:
• It must be close to an electrical
outlet.
• For optimal wireless connectivity,
place the router near the center of
the room if possible, at a high level
Other electronic devices and some
architectural construction materials
or impediments may interfere with
the wireless signal(s) of the router
and reduce its range or coverage. Try
to minimize the number of walls or
oors that the router’s signal needs to
penetrate to connect to other wireless
devices.

Page 11
Logging In
During the Quick Start Guide procedure, you should have
successfully logged into the router’s Web Conguration user
interface (essentially the router’s operating system that
controls how it operates) and established some initial settings
and controls for the router.
If you wish to change the router’s settings (establish a
new username and password for the person who manages
and maintains the router, set Parental Controls, establish
a Guest Access-SSID setting for visitors, or any number of
other settings) you can log into the Web Conguration again
through the web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome,
Firefox) on your computer or tablet device.
To do this, enter the router’s default IP address of
192.168.0.1 into your browser’s address window.
1. At the login screen enter your username and a password
2. Click Login to continue.
The default login settings are:
username: admin
password: admin
It’s highly recommended that, if you haven’t done so already,
to change these default names, so your router and the devices
connected to it on your home network are more secure.

Enable Static DHCP IP
There are reasons why you may want to enable a static IP
address on a client device on your ESR router’s network.
On occasion, if there are power outages or if you’ve recongured
the settings on your ESR router and reboot (restart) it to apply
the new settings, the previous IP address that the router’s DHCP
server assigned to one or more devices on the network may have
changed. Some client devices on your network may also have
web conguration interfaces (set top boxes, Network Attached
Storage, etc.) that are accessible from the router’s assigned
IP address from its DHCP server, so the client device can be
managed. Thus if the client device’s IP address changes from

Enabling encryption is strongly encouraged because unauthorized parties within range of your router’s wireless signal may attempt
to access your wireless network and then gain access to private information on devices on your network. It’s highly recommended
that you encrypt your router with WPA2 (AES) for optimal security and throughput performance. Always select a strong passphrase
greater than 8 characters long and comprised of letters, numbers, and symbols. Please make note of the passphrase and keep it in a
secure location somewhere in your home in case you need to retrieve it.

Conguring Demilitarized Zone
Conguring a device on the LAN as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet
applications, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT rewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all
packets going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the
DMZ function is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or
server, whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.
A DMZ host allows a computer to have all its connections and ports completely open during data transmission.
WARNING! The PC dened as a DMZ host is not protected by the rewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks.
Do not store or manage sensitive information on the DMZ host.
To view the DMZ settings, click Firewall then select DMZ.
Enabling DMZ
Click Enable DMZ to activate DMZ functionality.

Virtual Private Network Setup
A Virtual Private Network (VPN) provides a secure connection between two remote locations or two users over the Internet. It
provides authentication to securely encrypt data communicated between the two remote endpoints. The Short Model Name supports
