1.1 Product Overview
Thank you for purchasing the ESR600H/ESR750H Dual Concurrent Wireless Router from EnGenius Networks.
The EnGenius ESR600H/ESR750H Dual Concurrent Wireless Router is a member of the X-TRA RANGE series of routers.
The ESR600H/ESR750H offers 1 WAN and 4 LAN Gigabit connections and extended signal coverage with two external high
gain 5dBi antennas. The ESR600H/ESR750H also features one USB port for SAMBA, NetUSB and shAir Music (ESR750H)
functionality. The added features provide USB storage, printer and speaker sharing over a trusted network.
The ESR600H/ESR750H provides advanced security features to protect your network and the devices connected to it. An
SPI Firewall protects the LAN as well as data sent over the Internet. For clients that want a direct, secure connection the
router supports VPN lite tunneling. Data encryption protocols, such as WEP, WPA, WPA2 and TKIP/AES, IEEE802.1x
Authentication and MAC Address Filtering are some of the other features which block access from unauthorized clients and
better protect the network environment.
The ESR600H/ESR750H provides energy saving technology through the wireless LAN and supports Multiple SSID and Wi-Fi

better manage Wi-Fi accessibility.
The ESR750H provides one USB2.0 port which supports SAMBA, NetUSB and shAir Music. shAir Music allows the ESR750
to handle the playback action on any iTunes device or allows an iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch* to stream audio to USB speakers
connected to the router. This feature offers wireless audio streaming from anywhere the signal is accessible.

INSTALLATION WALL MOUNTING
Note:
Note:
2.2 Wall Mounting
Mounting the ESR600H/ESR750H on a wall optimizes the wireless access range.
Choose a location that is within reach of an electrical outlet for the AC adapter and the DSL or Cable modem.
To mount the device on the wall do the following:
1. Measure the distance from the middle of each mounting screw hole.
2. Mark the locations of the screw holes on the wall.
3. Drill a hole for each marked location and insert a screw in each.
Make sure to leave enough of the screw head above the wall surface to secure the router.
4. Install and secure the mounts onto the ESR600H/ESR750H.
5. Install the ESR600H/ESR750H on the wall.

Note:
3.1 Installing the Software
Before getting started, please power off the cable or DSL modem.
Setup Notes
When considering the placement of the ESR600H/ESR750H remember the following:
It must be located close to a DSL or Cable modem.
It must be close to an electrical outlet.
Upon first setup, it must be close to the computer that is used to set up and configure the router.
For optimal wireless access place the router in the center of the room, at a high altitude and with an unobstructed view
of the other wireless devices.
Other electronic devices can interfere with the wireless frequency of the router and reduce the wireless access range.
Installation
If the instructions do not automatically start, open a file manager and browse the root folder of the CD-ROM.
Look for the file named index.html and open it.

6.2.6 Configuring L2TP
The layer 2 tunneling protocol (L2TP) is used in association with virtual private networks (VPNs). There a two parts to a L2TP
connection: the WAN interface settings and the L2TP settings.
WAN Interface Settings
Dynamic IP Address
WAN Interface Type Select Dynamic IP Address to
assign an IP address provided by an ISP.
Hostname Enter a host name of an ISP (optional).
Clone MAC Enter the MAC address of the devices’ net-
work interface card (NIC) in the MAC address field and
click Clone MAC.
Some ISP providers require registering the MAC
address of the network interface card (NIC) connected
directly to the cable or DSL modem. Clone MAC
masks the router's MAC address with the MAC
address of the device’s NIC.
