the WLAN. Before accessing the WLAN, a user must
obtain the SSID of the WLAN. In this case, the WLAN
security is improved.
For the convenience of users accessing the

3Configuring Your Computer
This takes the Windows XP operating system (OS)
as an example to describe how to configure your
computer. For other OSs, the configurations may be
different and you need to configure them as required.
Wireless Configuration
The wireless configuration allows your PC to connect
to the device through the wireless network. If you
need only the Ethernet to connect your PC, you can
skip this part.
Configuration Requirements
• To set up wireless network connection, your PC must
be configured with the WLAN adapter that supports the
IEEE 802.11 b/g protocol.
• If the encryption function is enabled, you need to
ensure that all PCs connecting to the device use the
same key as that of the device.
• For the use of WLAN adapter, refer to the WLAN
adapter user guide provided by the manufacturer.
• For the encryption configurations, see "Configuring
WLAN Encryption".
• For SSID parameters configuration, see "Configuring
WLAN Settings".

DHCP Settings
Click to access the DHCP Settings page, you
can set the mode for assigning IP addresses in a
LAN. DHCP automatically assigns IP addresses to
the network devices. If you are using the DHCP
server, you need to do the configurations on the PC
connecting with the device. For details, see
"Configuring the Network Connection".
• IP Address: The default IP address of the device is
192.168.1.1.
• Subnet Mask: The combination of the subnet mask
and IP address enables the flexible sub netting. By
default, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
• DHCP Server: It is used to assign IP addresses
dynamically. If the DHCP server is Enabled, it can
automatically assign IP addresses for PCs. It is
recommended to select Enabled for the DHCP server.
• Start IP Address/End IP Address: It is used to define
the IP address range that the host can use during the
IP address assignment. For example, in the network
segment 192.168.1.0/24, the default IP address of the
device is 192.168.1.1. The host IP address can range
from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. The minimum
range is a single IP address.
• DHCP Lease Time: The DHCP server automatically
assigns an IP address to each device connected to the
network. When the leased time expires, the DHCP
server checks whether the device is connected to the
network. If the device is disconnected from the network,
the server assigns the IP address to another device.
Thus, the IP address is not wasted.
• The Start IP Address must be smaller than
Note
or equal to the End IP Address.
• If the DHCP Server is Enabled, the
configurations of Start IP Address, End IP
address, and DHCP Lease Time are valid;
otherwise, you cannot configure them.

What to do if a PC in the LAN cannot access the
Internet?
• If the power indicator is off, you need to check whether
the power adapter is normally connected.
• If the signal strength indicator is off, you need to check
whether the area is covered by the network.
• If the area is covered by the network, you need to
check whether the network mode is correct. For
information about network mode, see "
Settings".
• If the indicator of the Ethernet interfaces blinks, the
corresponding Ethernet interface is normally
connected. If the indicator is off, you need to check and
ensure that the related Ethernet connection is normal.
• You must configure the correct PPP user name and
PPP password when you access the Internet through
the device. Check whether they are correct, and see
"
Configuring PPP Profile Settings" for details.
• If the DHCP service is disabled and the PC obtains the
IP address dynamically, the PC also cannot access the
Internet. You can change the mode to manually assign
an IP address. See "
Connection".
• Check whether the driver of the network adapter is
correctly installed.
• If the preceding methods cannot solve the problem,
consult you service provider.

What to do if a PC in the WLAN cannot access the
WLAN?
• If interferences or shields near the device ex ist, you c an
adjust the position of the device. When the signal
strength is strong, you can move to the next step.
• Check and record the following data on the network
adapter of your PC: SSID, WEP type, and key.
• Check and record the following data on the device:
SSID, WEP type, and key.
• Compare the recorded data, the SSID on the network
adapter should be ANY or be the same as that on the
device. The WEP type and key on the network adapter
and device should be the same. Otherwise, you need to
change the data on the network adapter.
What to do if I forgot the IP address of the LAN
interface?
