Aolynk WDR814(I)g ADSL2+ Wireless Router User Manual 1 Introduction

1 Introduction

This chapter describes the package contents and provides a list of features and application illustrations of the ADSL Wireless Router.

1.1 About the ADSL Wireless Router

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) refers to a technology used to increase the data capacity of standard twisted-pair wires that are generally used to connect most households to the phone network. In addition, this technology allows simultaneous voice and high-speed data transmission over a single pair of telephone wires.

There are several kinds of DSL services, each with its own compromises between speed, distance, cost, and reliability. These services are either symmetrical (data flows at the same speed in both directions), or asymmetrical (the downstream capacity is higher than the upstream capacity).

ADSL

Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL), as its name indicates, is an asymmetrical data transmission technology which provides high-speed data transfer over existing telephone or ISDN lines by making good use of the previously unused high-frequency band-width. ADSL provides much higher downstream speed than upstream speed. It is much popular as ordinary users download much more data than what they upload.

ADSL provides a dedicated secure communication between you and the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and the connection is high-speed and always-on.

Ethernet / Fast Ethernet / USB

Ethernet is the most widely-used network access method, especially in a Local Area Network (LAN) and is defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard. Normally, Ethernet is a shared media LAN. All stations on the segment share the total bandwidth, which could be 10Mbps (Ethernet), 100Mbps (Fast Ethernet), or 1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet). With a switched Ethernet, each sender and receiver has the full bandwidth.

Fast Ethernet is defined as IEEE 802.3u standard, a high-speed version of Ethernet with 100Mbps transmission rate.

USB (Universal Serial Bus) is a data communication standard which allows the PC/desktop to detect new devices such as printers, joysticks, keyboards, mice, adapters, storage devices, audio devices, digital cameras and things with this technology. The advantage of USB is to replace different types of serial and parallel port connectors with one standardized plug and port combination with the data transfer rate up to 12Mbps. Also low-power devices can draw power from USB and don’t require an extra adapter. Before you use this connector, you may need to install the USB driver first.

Wireless LAN

Wireless Local Area Network systems (WLANs) transmit and receive data over the air by using radio frequency (RF). This offers some advantages like mobility, ease of installation, and scalability over traditional wired systems.

Aolynk WDR814(I)g ADSL2+ Wireless Router User Manual 1 Introduction

Mobility: WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. This provides users with access to network anywhere in their organization. For example, users can roam from a conference room to their office without being disconnected from the LAN. This is impossible with wired networks.

Ease of Installation: Eliminating the need to deploy network cables in walls and ceilings, Installing WLANs is easy for novice and expert users alike.

Scalability: WLAN topologies are easy to change in various ways from peer-to-peer networks for a small group of users to full infrastructure networks for hundreds of users roaming over a broad area.

Wireless LAN is suitable for difficult-to-wire and frequently changing environments. It’s also an ideal solution for mobile workers to access network resource and for setting a temporary LAN when necessary

Wireless LANs can be set as “Ad-hoc” network and “Infrastructure” network. Unlike the “Ad-hoc network”, where users on the LAN send data directly to each other, the “Infrastructure” network includes an access point and users on the “Infrastructure” network send data to that dedicated access point. ADSL Wireless Router uses “Infrastructure” network as Wireless LANs. Each wireless LAN PC within the range of the access point can communicate with other wireless LAN PCs within the range.

Firewall

DoS is an abbreviation for Denial of Service. This occurs when a computer or network is overwhelmed to the point that it can no longer function normally. For example, a hacker may use fake IP addresses to accumulate numbers connections in orders to flood the server he wants to attack. The way TCP works is that a SYN packet is sent to the server from the client. After the server receives the SYN packet, a SYN-ACK is sent back to client. The server will then wait for the reply from the SYN-ACK. If the hacker sent hundreds or thousands of SYN packets to the server with bogus IP addresses, the server allocates computer and memory resources to establishing a connection since the server does not know a legitimate SYN message from a bogus message. By flooding the server with a large volume of requests, the server’s maximum capacity can be used by these bogus and useless connection attempts

SPI is an acronym for Stateful Packet Inspection. The SPI engine examines not just the headers of the packet, but also the packet content. It can then determine more about the packet than just its source and destination information. Moreover, stateful inspection firewalls also close off ports until a connection to the specific port is requested.

2.4.1 Installing the TCP/IP Protocol

If you are not sure whether the TCP/IP Protocol has been installed, follow these steps to check, and if necessary, install TCP/IP onto your PCs.

Step1 Click the “Start” button. Choose “Settings”, then “Control Panel”. Double-click the

“Network” icon. Your Network window should appear as follows:

Step2 Select the “Configuration” tab.

& Important Note:

Settings for Windows 2000/XP and Windows 98/ME/NT might differ slightly. See the following for reference.

Click the “Local Area Connection” icon on the lower right hand side of your desktop screen.

Aolynk WDR814(I)g ADSL2+ Wireless Router User Manual 2 Hardware Installation & Setup

In the “Local Area Connection Status” window, click the “Properties” button then your Network window will appear.

Step3 Check whether the TCP/IP Protocol has already been installed onto your computer’s

Ethernet card. Note that TCP/IP Protocol can be installed for a computer’s Dial-Up Adapter as well as for the Ethernet card.

− If yes, go to step 7.

− If no, click the “Add” button.

Aolynk WDR814(I)g ADSL2+ Wireless Router User Manual 2 Hardware Installation & Setup

Step4 Double-click “Protocol” in the Select Network Component Type or highlight

“Protocol” then click “Add”.

Step5 Highlight “Microsoft” under the list of manufacturers. Double-click “TCP/IP” from

the list on the right or highlight “TCP/IP” then click “OK” to install TCP/IP.

Step6 After a few seconds, you will be returned to the Network window. The TCP/IP Protocol

should now be on the list of installed network components (see 3 above).

Aolynk WDR814(I)g ADSL2+ Wireless Router User Manual 2 Hardware Installation & Setup

Step7 Click the “Properties” button. The TCP/IP Properties window consists of several tabs.

Choose the “IP Address” tab.

Step8 Select “Obtain an IP address automatically”. Click “OK”. Restart your PC to

complete the TCP/IP installation.

2.4.2 Fixed IP Addresses Configuration

Fixed IP addresses may be assigned to network devices for many reasons, such as the server PCs or printers which are consistently accessed by multiple users. To set up computers with fixed IP Addresses, go to the “IP Address” tab of the “TCP/IP Properties” window as shown above.

Step1 Select “Specify an IP address” and enter “192.168.1.xxx” in the “IP Address ”

location (where xxx is a number between 2 and 254 used by the High-Performance Wireless Router to identify each computer), and the default “Subnet Mask”

255.255.255.0”. Note that no two computers on the same LAN can have the same IP address.
