2.2 Procedure for Hardware Installation
2. Decide where to place your Wireless Broadband Router
You can place your Wireless Broadband Router on a desk or other flat surface, or you can mount it on a wall.
For optimal performance, place your Wireless Broadband Router in the center of your office (or your home) in a
location that is away from any potential source of interference, such as a metal wall or microwave oven. This
location must be close to power and network connection.
2. Setup LAN connection
a. Wired LAN connection: connects an Ethernet cable from your computer’s Ethernet port to one of the LAN
ports of this product.
b. Wireless LAN connection: locate this product at a proper position to gain the best transmit performance
Figure 2-3 Setup of LAN and WAN connections for this product.
3. Setup WAN connection
Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting this product to your cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet backbone. Figure
2-3 illustrates the WAN connection.
4. Power on
Connecting the power cord to power inlet and turning the power switch on, this product will automatically enter
the self-test phase. When it is in the self-test phase, the indicators M1 will be lighted ON for about 10 seconds,
and then M1 will be flashed 3 times to indicate that the self-test operation has finished. Finally, the M1 will be
continuously flashed once per second to indicate that this product is in normal operation.

To use this product correctly, you have to properly configure the network settings of your computers and install the
attached setup program into your MS Windows platform (Windows 95/98/NT/2000).
3.1 Make Correct Network Settings of Your Computer
The default IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, and the default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. These
addresses can be changed on your need, but the default values are used in this manual. If the TCP/IP environment of
your computer has not yet been configured, you can refer to Appendix A to configure it. For example,
1. configure IP as 192.168.1.1, subnet mask as 255.255.255.0 and gateway as 192.168.1.254, or more easier,
2. configure your computers to load TCP/IP setting automatically, that is, via DHCP server of this product.
After installing the TCP/IP communication protocol, you can use the ping command to check if your computer has
successfully connected to this product. The following example shows the ping procedure for Windows 95 platforms.
First, execute the ping command

a communication link between your computer and this product has been successfully established. Otherwise, if you
get the following messages,
Pinging 192.168.1.254 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
There must be something wrong in your installation procedure. You have to check the following items in sequence:
1. Is the Ethernet cable correctly connected between this product and your computer?
Tip: The LAN LED of this product and the link LED of network card on your computer must be lighted.
2. Is the TCP/IP environment of your computers properly configured?
Tip: If the IP address of this product is 192.168.1.254, the IP address of your computer must be 192.168.1.X
and default gateway must be 192.168.1.254.

The factory setting is as follow: channel 6 for North America; channel 7 for European (ETSI); channel 7 for
Japan.
3. WEP Security: Select the data privacy algorithm you want. Enabling the security can protect your data while it
is transferred from one station to another. The standardized IEEE 802.11 WEP (128 or 64-bit) is used here.
4. WEP Key 1, 2, 3 & 4: When you enable the 128 or 64 bit WEP key security, please select one WEP key to be
used and input 26 or 10 hexadecimal (0, 1, 2…8, 9, A, B…F) digits.
5. Pass-phrase Generator: Since hexadecimal characters are not easily
remembered, this device offers a conversion utility to convert a simple
word or phrase into hex.
6. 802.1X Setting

4.3.3 WDS
The Wireless Distribution System (WDS) supports peer-to-peer AP communication. Select
Enable to allow Bridge (WDS) mode between routers or Disable to block communication
between routers.
To enable WDS, set the Wireless Bridging (WDS) function to Enable. Enter the Wireless MAC
address of the router to communicate with in the form of two characters separated by a colon and
click Save.
4.3.4 Dynamic DNS
To host your server on a changing IP address, you have to use dynamic domain name service (DDNS).
So that anyone wishing to reach your host only needs to know the name of it. Dynamic DNS will map the name of
your host to your current IP address, which changes each time you connect your Internet service provider.
Before you enable Dynamic DNS, you need to register an account on one of these Dynamic DNS servers that we list
in provider field.
To enable Dynamic DNS click the check box next to Enable in the DDNS field.
Next you can enter the appropriate information about your Dynamic DNS Server.
19
You have to define:
Provider
Host Name
Username/E-mail
Password/Key
You will get this information when you register an account on a Dynamic DNS server.
4.3.5 DHCP Server
Press “More>>”
The settings of a TCP/IP environment include host IP, Subnet Mask, Gateway, and DNS configurations. It is not easy
to manually configure all the computers and devices in your network. Fortunately, DHCP Server provides a rather
simple approach to handle all these settings. This product supports the function of DHCP server. If you enable this
product’s DHCP server and configure your computers as “automatic IP allocation” mode, then when your computer
is powered on, it will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings from this product. The settings of DHCP server
include the following items:
20
1. DHCP Server: Choose “Disable” or “Enable.”
2. Lease Time: Define the period of time for the IP address leased.
3. IP pool starting Address/ IP pool starting Address: Whenever there is a request, the DHCP
server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP address pool to the requesting computer.
You must specify the starting and ending address of the IP address pool.
4. Domain Name: Optional, this information will be passed to the client.
5. Primary DNS/Secondary DNS: This feature allows you to assign DNS Servers
6. Primary WINS/Secondary WINS: This feature allows you to assign WINS Servers
7. Gateway: The Gateway Address would be the IP address of an alternate Gateway.
This function enables you to assign another gateway to your PC, when DHCP server
offers an IP to your PC.
4.3.6 Print Server
This item shows the print is ready or not.

4.4 Advanced
4.4.1 Basic Setting
22
Discard PING from WAN side
When this feature is enabled, any host on the WAN cannot ping this product.
SPI Mode
When this feature is enabled, the router will record the packet information pass through the router like IP address,
port address, ACK, SEQ number and so on. And the router will check every incoming packet to detect if this packet
is valid.
DoS Attack Detection
When this feature is enabled, the router will detect and log the DoS attack comes from the Internet. Currently, the
router can detect the following DoS attack: SYN Attack, WinNuke, Port Scan, Ping of Death, Land Attack etc.
4.4.2 MAC Address Control
MAC Address Control allows you to assign different access right for different users and to assign a specific IP
address to a certain MAC address.
MAC Address Control Check “Enable” to enable the “MAC Address Control”. All of the settings in this page
will take effect only when “Enable” is checked.
Connection control Check "Connection control" to enable the controlling of which wired and wireless
clients can connect to this device. If a client is denied to connect to this device, it
means the client can't access to the Internet either. Choose "allow" or "deny" to allow
or deny the clients, whose MAC addresses are not in the "Control table" (please see
below), to connect to this device.
Association control Check "Association control" to enable the
23
Control table
controlling of which wireless client can
associate to the wireless LAN. If a client is
denied to associate to the wireless LAN, it
means the client can't send or receive any data
via this device. Choose "allow" or "deny" to
allow or deny the clients, whose MAC
addresses are not in the "Control table", to
associate to the wireless LAN.
"Control table" is the table at the bottom of the "MAC Address Control" page. Each
row of this table indicates the MAC address and the expected IP address mapping of a
client. There are four columns in this table:
MAC Address
IP Address
C
A
MAC address indicates a specific client.
Expected IP address of the corresponding
