Configuring WLAN Settings
(Name) SSID: Enter a name for your wireless local
area network (WLAN).
• The service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a WLAN. A PC and the wireless device can perform normal data communication only when they have the same SSIDs. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID. You can enter a character string as the SSID, such as MyHome.
SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID broadcast.
Enabled: The device broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN and users can easily access the WLAN. In this case, unauthorized users can also access the WLAN because the SSID is broadcasted.
Disabled: The device does not broadcast the SSID of 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
Note
WLAN, you can select Enabled for SSID Broadcast when you configure the WLAN setting. After the setting, you can select
Disable to improve the WLAN security.
Configuring the WLAN Encryption
To access the WLAN, you must set the wireless security key on your PC to be the same as that of the wireless device.
No Encryption
• For the convenience of users accessing th e WLAN, yo u can select NO ENCRYPTION for the Encryption mode when you set up a WLAN. It is not recommended to select this option in daily use.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK
WPA-PSK: It is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key.
WPA2-PSK: It is a more secure version of WPA-PSK and it supports the IEEE 802.11 standard.
WPA Encryption Algorithm: TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.

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 networ k, 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.

5Troubleshooting

What to do if a PC in the LAN cannot access the Internet?
1 If the power indicator is off, you need to check
whether the power adapter is normally connected.
2 If the signal strength indicator is off, you need to
check whether the area is covered by the network.
3 If the area is covered by the network, you need
to check whether the network mode is correct. For information about network mode, see "Mobile Network Settings".
4 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.
5 You must configure the correct PPP user name
and PPP password when you access the Internet through the device. Check whether they
22
are correct, and see "Configuring PPP Profile Settings" for details.
6 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 "Configuring the Network Connection".
7 Check whether the driver of the network adapter
is correctly installed.
8 If the preceding methods cannot solve the
problem, please consult you service provider.
What to do if a PC in the WLAN cannot access the WLAN?
1 If interferences or shields near the device exist,
you can adjust the position of the device. When the signal strength is strong, you can move to the next step.
Page 27
2 Check and record the following data on the
network adapter of your PC: SSID, WEP type, and key.
3 Check and record the following data on the
device: SSID, WEP type, and key.
4 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?
If you forgot the IP address of the LAN interface, you can enter http://e.home and log in to the management page when the PC obtains the IP address automatically.
What to do if bridging between two devices is unsuccessful?
