Congratulations on your purchase of this outstanding 11Mbps
Wireless Access Router. This product is the perfect option to
connect a group of wired or wireless PCs to a high-speed
Broadband Internet connection or to an Ethernet based
Backbone (ETTH/ETTB: Ethernet to the Home/Building).
Configurable as a DHCP server, this product is the only
externally recognized server device on your local area network
(LAN). Thus even a non-technical person will easily configure it
to meet the different applications.
This product does not only provide a complete solution to share
the Internet bandwidth, it also serves as an Internet Firewall to
protect your LAN data from being accessed by outside
intruders/hackers (Figure 1.1). Since all incoming data packets
have been analyzed and monitored, all unwanted packets may
be filtered-out and be recorded as an intrusion event. The
11Mbps Wireless Access Router can also be configured to
block some internal LAN users’ access to the Internet for
management purposes.

Firewall capability to protect LAN PCs from outside intruder
access/attack
Avoid unwanted packets from the WAN and provides a system event log to
record intrusion information. (Date/time,sourceIPaddress & port...)
LAN user Access Privilege
Administrator can arrange interior LAN user’s access privilegeto the Internet by
IP address, TCP/IP port service, URL name keyword, and24-hour time zone
Virtual Server (Port forwarding)function
Internet servers (WWW, FTP, E-mail...) in LAN could be virtually exposed to
WAN for outside Internet user access. This is a useful and secure network
deployment for Internet servers
DMZ (De-Militarized Zone) Host
Administrator can completely expose a host PC in the LAN to the Internet
without any firewall protection mechanism. This option allows a full two-way
communication between the local host PC and remote Internet nodes. (ex. bidirectional games, video/audio conferences...)
Multi DMZ Host support
In static IP configuration with a range of legal IP addresses, the administrator
can completely expose several host PCs in the LAN to the Internet according to
LAN/WAN IP address mapping
Auto 2-way applications

Allow or Deny responding if there is any PING packet sent to WAN of the
Wireless Router
GigaFast Ethernet
This is very useful to avoid Internet intruder/hacker from probing the
computer. Most likely, the hacker will not start to attack due to no PING
response.
2.
Web Management from WAN:
This function allows the administrator to configure the Wireless Router
from the outside Internet with browser directly. In order to reserve HTTP
service (port 80), which is used for virtual servers, the remote web
administration function utilizes another port 64511 instead. (e.g.
http://211.79.244.45:64511 )
3.
Block Client in LAN:
This function is used to inhibit some LAN clients (by IP address) from
accessing Internet resources. Since all LAN client are recognized by their
IP addresses, regardless of if the LAN client’s IP address is assigned by
DHCP server or manual setting,thisfunction always works well.
4.
Filter Packets from LAN:
This function allowsthe administrator to inhibit LAN users from using some
Internet services for managementpurposes.
For example, if the Wireless Router is used in a SOHO environment and
the administrator wants to inhibit LAN users from using Telnet services
(like BBS, on-line chat), then it is easily achieved by blocking all packets to
service port 23.
Section 6
Another example would be blocking service port 110 (POP3) which will
inhibit LAN users from checking/retrieving outside Internet e-Mail
accounts periodically. This is very useful when the WAN connection type is
Dial-On-Demand (like PPPoE/PPP). Then, the Wireless Router can autodisconnect at normal conditions. Otherwise the periodic e-Mail checking
from the LAN user will cause the Wireless Router to keep the WAN
connection alive forever. Therefore, in this situation, the LAN user can only
use e-Mail servers insidethenetwork. (if a POP3 serverexistin LAN).
GigaFast Ethernet
Service Time Allocation
“Service Time Allocation” allows the administrator to control the Wireless Router’s
LAN-to-WAN if the service is available or disabled at any time. This feature is
implemented by two mechanisms.
One method is to specify the maximum continuous service period. This is primarily
used for parental control in home/family applications. It can protect children from
surfing the Internet continuously for more than a pre-defined period X. Meanwhile,
the Wireless Router willstillstop service until period Y is expired.
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
The other mechanism is simply dependent on a daily time zone. This means the
Wireless Router’s LAN-to-WAN service is on or off according to a predefined daily
schedule table.
URL Keyword Blocking
In order to preventLANusers from accessing specific websites, theWireless Router
provides a function to perform such a filtering mechanism. The administrator can
enter the URL keywords of which websites are to be rejected. Then the Wireless
Router will reject any websites which have URL names that matched or partially
match.
For example, if the keyword is xyz, then,,
are all blocked.
Click the [Save&Restart] button after listingthe keywords.
www.xyz.com ftp.xyz.com xyz.abc.com
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
Virtual Server
Generally, NAT based routers/firewalls filter out all unrecognized packets from the
WAN to protect your Internal LAN computers; therefore, all LAN computers behind
the Wireless Router are invisible to the outside Internet. However, some Internet
servers (like WWW, FTP, E-mail) should be visible and accessible by the outside
Internet. As a result, the Wireless Router provides Virtual Server functions to meet
this demand. In addition, the Wireless Router also protect the servers and all other
computers in the LANsimultaneously.
Since all theInternet servers always handlethe fixed TCP/UDP service port number
(like WWW is 80, FTP is 21) any packets from the WAN which have a destination
port number that matches a virtual server’s ports, then these packets will be
forwarded to the pre-defined LAN’s IP. The destination port number is also kept the
same or mapped into another port for LAN. TCP ports are always mapped into TCP
ports.
For example, if you have an FTP server (port21) at 192.168.8.5, a mail server (port
110) at 192.168.8.6, and a VPN server at 192.168.8.7, then you need to specify the
virtual server as:
WAN IP + port 21192.168.8.5 + port21
WAN IP + port 110192.168.8.6 +port 110
WAN IP + port 1723192.168.8.7 + port 1723
Another example : If there are 2 Web servers in LAN (and installed by 2 different
computers)
WAN IP + port 80192.168.8.8 + port80
WAN IP + port 8080192.168.8.9 + port 80
Please refer to AppendixAforsomewell-know service ports.
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
DMZ
DMZ (DeMilitarized Zone) is a zone, which is not protected by firewall. It means that
all computers in the DMZ are dangerous and subject to be attacked/accessed by
Internet intruders/hackers. However, the advantageis that all computers in the DMZ
are completely exposed to Internet, thus all of them gain the full access privilege to
the outside Internet. In sucha case, most Internet applications shouldbe compatible
with them because thereisno interference from the firewall.
Currently there are more Internet applications that require 2-way access right, so
they open many TCP/UDP ports simultaneously (like video and/or audio
conference, on-line gaming). The Wireless Router provides this feature to allow
some computers inthe LAN to have unrestricted2-way access privilege. As a result,
those computers in the DMZ are more compatible with Internet applications. Thus,
they seem to bedangerousin comparison with those other computers inthe LAN.
The Wireless Router generally allows a computer in the LAN to be logically exposed
to the Internet with unrestricted 2-way communication. This is very useful whenever
you encounter some incompatible applications (especially for online game or
audio/video conference). The DMZ featurecanoften avoid these problems.
The following shows a single DMZ host is allowed due to the single WAN IP address
shown. (for example, the WAN connection type is DHCP client, PPPoE, PPTP and
PPP)
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
Multiple DMZ Host
If the WAN connection type is static andthere is a rangeof IP addresses assigned to
the WAN interface instead of a single IP only (please refer to section 3.1), then the
Wireless Router allows 8computersin the LAN to become DMZhosts.
In general, the mechanism for multiple DMZ hosts is based on the mapping relation
between the WAN IP and the LAN IP (shown below). These DMZ host IPs will skip
NATporttranslationhandling to gain unrestricted 2-way communicationcapability.
WAN IP1Wireless RouterLAN IP1 (DMZ host1)
WAN IP2Wireless RouterLAN IP2 (DMZ host2)
WAN IP3Wireless RouterLAN IP3 (DMZ host3)
………………………………………………………
WAN IP8Wireless RouterLAN IP8 (DMZ host8)
Most likely the multiple DMZ host are applied in a router-to-router inter-connection
SOHO environment (please refer to Figure 4 2). It is less popular with home users
due to the “range of WAN IP address” because IP addresses are important and
expensive resources now.
Some ISPs provide leased line services (DSL is a common one) to
subscribers, and can offer a range of IP addresses for subscription. In this
case, there are two type of connection configurations. One is Bridging
mode, the other isRoutingmode.
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
For example, if the ISP provides 210.65.226.1 through 210.65.226.7 IP (subnet
mask is 255.255.255.248), then the subscriber can have 6 computers at most
accessing the Internet simultaneously. With the Wireless Router, additional
computers can access theInternet.(Please refer to Fig 4-1)
Fig 4-1 Bridging mode
Unfortunately, the multiple DMZ host will not work with the Fig 4-1 configuration
because the Wireless Router can only handle one IP address’ packets, not 5 IP
address’ packets. In such conditions, the bridging mode option is available for
Multiple DMZ.
The following Fig 4-2isa typical Router-to-Router Multi-DMZ configuration.
Section 6
Fig 4-2 Routing mode
Those DMZ hosts in the LAN are virtually exposed in the Internet
environment. The Wireless Router no longer provides the firewall
protection function for them.
GigaFast Ethernet
Auto 2-Way Applications
From the above two sections (Virtual Server and DMZ), it can be concluded as
follows :
1)Virtual Server can support those applications which are fully dependent on
the incoming destination TCP/UDP ports regardless of
destination IP address
.
the incoming
2)DMZ can support those applications which are dependent on the incoming
destination IP address only no matterthey use or no
how many TCP/UDP ports
matterthey use simultaneously.
Although the Wireless Router provides the above two methods for compatibility
improvements under the firewall protection, there is some inconvenience for the
administrator to manage manyPCsat home or in a SOHOenvironment.
For example, in spite of the Virtual Server or DMZ functions, the administrator must
know the specific LAN PC’s IP address in advance. Then, the administrator can fill it
into the WEB page for Virtual Server or DMZ. Nevertheless, if another LAN PC
would like to use the same services, then the administrator would have to perform
the same setting again.Itis not an automatic method.
Some special applications (like MS messenger, MS game zone, some VoIP
devices) always connect to an outside server with a fixed destination port, so the
server will communicate with the application in the LAN by using a predefined
incoming port (or a specific range of incoming ports). In this case, the Wireless
Router can provide a fully automatic mechanism to support such kinds of
applications.

There are several predefined well know applications listed on the top of the settings
page. Select an application andClick the “Copy to” index ID.
Each trigger port is used by only one LAN PC at a time. Once a trigger is
occupied, a second LAN PC cannot use that trigger port until the first LAN
PC has released it. (Release means the first PC stops using that trigger
port for more than5~6minutes).
Dynamic DNS
For most dial-up ADSL and Cable modem users, it is not easy to get a fixed WAN IP
address when the Wireless Router connects with the Internet. (Whenever the
Wireless Router’s WAN connection type is PPPoE, DHCP client or PPTP client,
then the Wireless RouterWAN IPisobtainedfrom the ISP side dynamically).
As a result, it is very difficult to host a Web server or FTP server by using a dial-up
ADSL or Cable modem. Fortunately, there are some non-profitable organizations
,like, or commercial dynamic DNS service providers, like
All of them work in the same way. They need a LAN PC (Internet access capable) to
update their DNS server’s record periodically to keep the WAN IP address up to
date. Most of the differences are the update packet syntax or format and how often
the update event occurs–when dial up is successful orevery N minutes.
or, that have proposed a solution to serve such
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
The Wireless Router has a built-in update client function to meet
update specifications internally. This means that the Wireless Router can act as a
dynamic DNS update client itself, so the administrator doesn’t need another PC in
the LAN to install theupdate client program.
This function can be disabled (which is the default) when the dynamic DNS is never
used or another dynamicDNSservice provider is preferred.
After 5 minutes, an event update will occur whenever a new WAN IP is
received. To enable this function, it is necessary to apply for a dynamic
DNS account as your registered URL name. Please visit

Troubleshooting
Common Problems & Solutions
This section provides possible solutions to problems regarding the installation and
operation of the Wireless Router. Try to find answers here if there is any problem
when you setup thedevice.Check your device and settings stepby step.
1. Connecting tothe WirelessAccessPoint Router LAN port fail
Check to see that the Wireless Router’s LAN connections are properly
connected and the unit is powered on. (Check the Link LED)
Set the Wireless Router to factory default condition.
Ensure that your PC and the WirelessRouter are on the same network segment.
If you arenot sure, initiate the DHCP function to letPC get an IP address from the
Wireless Router automatically.
Make sure that the IP address of your PC is within the default range of
192.168.to 192.168..
Check Subnet Mask. It should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless
Router.
2. Failed to configure the Wireless Access Point through web browser
(by a client PCinLAN)
Check the cable connections to the Wireless Router LAN port and see if the
Link/Act LEDs on the front panel are working properly.
In Windows9x/ME series, run “winipcfg” (NT4/2000/XP series,“ipconfig”) to
check the clientsideby clicking on the [Start] button and selecting [Run]. The PC
should show:
1) IP address:192.168.8.xxx(xxxisfrom17to128)
2) Submask: 255.255.255.0
3) Default GatewayIP:192.168.8.1
8.178.128
3. WAN can’t obtain an IP address fromaCable or DSL modem in WAN
Ensure if the WAN LED is lit. (refer toAppendix-C for correct cabling)
Turn off your DSL or Cable modem for a few seconds. Turn it back on. After the
modem goes through its self-test, check to see if you now have an IP
address.
Your ISP may require a Mac address/Host name/Domain name. Check if it is
correct.
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
4. “Time out error”message pop up when I enter aURLor IP address
Check if other PCs are working. If they do, check that your workstation’s IP
settings are correct (IP address, Subnet Mask, Default gateway and
DNS). Check if otherPCsareworking. If they do, check that your workstation’s IP
settings are correct (IP address, Subnet Mask, Default gateway and DNS)
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the Wireless
Router. Check that it is connected and ON. Connect toitand check its settings. (If
you cannot connect to it, check the LAN and power connections)
If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet connection to
see that it is working properly (Check if the WAN’s IPaddressisvalidor0.0.0.0)
5. Lost orforgotAdministratorpassword
Reset system settings into factory default condition by holding the reset button
down for at least 5 seconds. The administrator’s password will now become
“admin”
Re-configure the Wireless Router according to your previous settings
6. Why does my Notebook computer fail to connect with the Wireless
Access Point Router viawirelessLAN card?
Check if the Wireless Router’s wireless LED is lit
Check your computer’s wireless LAN settings (like SSID, channel number)to see
if it is the same as the Wireless Router’s
Check if theWEP-64 or WEP-128 is enabledor not. If it is on,the key must be the
same

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Where isthe WirelessAccessPoint Router installed on the network?
Typically, the Wireless Router is installed between the Cable/DSL modem and the
LAN. Plug the Wireless RouterWAN portinto the Cable/DSLmodem’sEthernetport.
(refer toAppendix-Cforcorrectcabling)
2. Does the WAN connection of the Wireless Access Point Router
support 100Mbps Ethernet?
Yes, the Wireless Router supports 100Mb Ethernet on its WAN port. Since the
Wireless Router WAN is an auto-sensing 10/100 port, it is also compatible with 10Mb
only WAN devices.
Section 6
GigaFast Ethernet
3. What isNAT (Network Address Translation) and what is it usedfor?
NAT translates multiple private IP address in the private LAN into one public address
that is sent out to the Internet. NAThas 2 functions:
It adds alevel security since the IPaddressof a PC connected tothe private LAN
is never transmitted on the Internet
It allows the Wireless Router to be used with low cost Internet accounts, such as
DSL or cable modems, where only one IP address is provided by ISP. Users can
have many private addresses behind a single address
4. If installation fails,whatcan I do?
Reset yourcable/DSLmodem by powering the unit off for 20 seconds and then turn it
back on. Once it has completed its tests, reset the Wireless Router by holding down
the reset button for at least 5 seconds with the power on and try installation again.
5. What can I do if l lose connection with the Wireless Router when I
change the LAN subnet from 192.168.8.1 into 192.168.1.1 (or like
others) ?
This problem is often occurs because your LAN client PC is no longer on the same
subnet address as the Wireless Router. Release your LAN client PC’s IP address
(which is currently something like 192.168.8.17) and renew the IP address from the
Wireless Router (the IP address will then become something like 192.168.1.17)
6. What typeof firewall is the Wireless Router equippedwith?
The Wireless Router uses NATand TCP/IPpacketinspections.
7. What can I do if I am unable to access the web configuration screen for
this router?
You may have to remove proxy settings on your Internet browser or remove dial-up
settings on your browser.(IfyouusePPPoEorPPPWAN connection)
8. What isDMZ (DeMilitarizedzone)?
DMZ allows one IP address (computer) to be exposed to the Internet. Some
applications require multiple TCP/IP ports t be open. It is recommended that you set
your computer with a static IP if you want to use DMZ.

Well-Known Port
Any application or process that uses TCP for its transport is assigned a
unique identification number called a TCP port. TCP ports specify the path
of communications between client and server applications. These ports are
numbered beginning with zero. Port numbers for client applications are
dynamically assigned by the operating system when there is a request for
service. Port numbers for server applications are pre-assigned by the
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) and do not change. The
following is a short list of some well-known port numbers.

There are different grades, or categories, of twisted-pair cabling.
Category 5 is the most reliable and is highly recommended. Category 3
is a good second choice. Straight-through cables are used for
connecting computers’ NIC card to a hub. Crossover cables are used
for connecting a hub to another hub. (The Wireless Router provides a
built-in uplink/normal switch. Uplink mode is crossed internally, which
allows you to link or connect hubs together with a straight-through
cable)
