Wireless Networking

A wireless local area network (or Wi-Fi for short) is exactly like a regular local area network (LAN), except that each computer in the wireless network uses a wireless device to connect to the network. Computers in a wireless network share the same frequency channel and SSID, which is an identification name shared by the wireless devices belonging to the same wireless network.

The Router transmits data to PCs equipped with wireless network adapters, which can roam within a certain radial range of the Router. You can arrange the Router and multiple access points to work in succession to extend the roaming range, and you can set up your wireless network to communicate with your Ethernet hardware as well. The big advantage of Wi-Fi is its simplicity. You can connect computers anywhere in your home or office without the need for wires. The computers connect to the network using radio signals, and computers can be up to 100 feet or so apart.

Wireless Network Layout

The GN-BR33V-RH High-speed wireless Router has been specifically designed for use with both your 802.11n and 802.11b/g products, and retains full backward compatibility. After you have finished setting up your GN-BR33V-RH High-speed Wireless Router, your home network will be similar to the diagram shown at the right.

The Network Configuration Screen

The Network Configuration screen consists of three areas: LAN Configuration, WAN Configuration and WAN settings.

The LAN Configuration Tab

LAN Configuration

Allows you to modify the LAN parameters, and if you want to enable DHCP automatic IP address assignments, you can enable it here, and specify a Start and End address for the IP range.

DHCP Option

The DHCP server "leases" out address for specific times (Time To Live) to the various hosts. If a host does not use a given address for some period of time, that IP address can then be assigned to another machine. When assignments are made or changed, the DHCP server must update the information in the DNS server. The AirCruiser G DHCP Lease Table displays the associated IP/MAC assignment and Time To Lease.

Force IP-MAC Mapping

Allows you to manually assign a specific IP address to a specific network device (MAC address) on the network. This will be updated in the ARP table automatically.

18

GN-BR33V-RH 2.4GHz AirCruiser Extreme N Wireless Router

The WAN Configuration Tab

The GN-BR33V-RH has many advanced WAN configuration features. As a special redundant feature, you can configure up to 4 WAN connections and each may have its own connection type (PPPoE, PPPoE Unnumber, Dynamic IP address, Static IP address) and other properties. The device can automatically attempt to connect to these in order if your primary connection fails.

Click the Edit button to the right of the ISP that you wish to modify. A screen will appear allowing you to change the Internet connection type. (see below) Click the Next button to continue with modifications.

19

GN-BR33V-RH 2.4GHz AirCruiser Extreme N Wireless Router

Depending on the WAN type you select, the corresponding WAN setup screen will appear next.

WAN Configuration Tab – Dynamic IP Address

Your Internet Service Provider will supply you with the following account information you will need:

20

GN-BR33V-RH 2.4GHz AirCruiser Extreme N Wireless Router

•ISP Name

•Host Name

•Gateway

•DNS1 and DNS2 Address

•DNS Domain Name

Enter the information provided by your ISP in the spaces provided.

MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

The largest packet unit is sent from your computer to the network. Any message larger than MTU will be divided into smaller packets before being sent. You should keep the default setting (1500). Setting MTU size is largely a process of trial-and-error: If you suspect your MTU setting is causing a connection problem, start with the maximum value of 1500, and then reduce the size down to 1400 until the problem goes away.

NAT Setup

The Network Address Translation (NAT) is a standard that allows multiple computers on a private network to share a single IP address.

Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) is a technology based on Internet standards and technologies, such as TCP/IP, HTTP, and XML, that allows devices on a network to automatically connect with other devices.

UPnP Delete Time

Select the duration that UPnP will be active. Since allowing this may present a security risk, the default setting is 0.

If the WAN IP address and LAN IP address obtained from DHCP server are from the same subnet, the LAN IP address will automatically change to another subnet and reboot the router.

21

GN-BR33V-RH 2.4GHz AirCruiser Extreme N Wireless Router

WAN Configuration Tab – PPPoE

Your Internet Service Provider will supply you with the following account information you will need:

•ISP Name

•User ID/Password

•Service Name

•AC Name

•DNS1 and DNS2 Address

•DNS Domain Name

Enter the information provided by your ISP in the fields provided.

Authentication Type

Select one of the following authentication settings: Auto, CHAP or PAP. The default setting is “Auto” (automatic authentication).

Challenge Handshake Authentication Protocol (CHAP) is the most common authentication method using PPP dialup method. With CHAP, the server will send a challenging signal to a remote Router, which will send back an encryption key.

Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) is a simple PPP authentication protocol allowing a Router to send a simple user ID and password to another Router for authentication. PAP has been defined in RFC1334.

22
