v1.1

Safety and product care

Your router is an electronic device that sends and receives radio signals. Please take the time to read this list of precautions that should be taken when installing and using the router.

Do not disassemble the router. There are no user-serviceable parts.

Do not allow the router to come into contact with liquid or moisture at any time. To clean the device, wipe it with a damp cloth.

Do not restrict airflow around the device. This can lead to the device overheating.

Do not place the device in direct sunlight or in hot areas.

Transport and handling

When transporting the NF17ACV, it is recommended to return the product in the original packaging. This ensures that the product will not be damaged.

Note: In the event the product needs to be returned, ensure it is securely packaged with appropriate padding to prevent damage during courier transport.

NetComm Wireless NF17ACV User Guide

v1.1

Installation and configuration of the NF17ACV

Placement of your NF17ACV

The wireless connection between your NF17ACV and your WiFi devices will be strong when they are in close proximity and have direct line of sight. As your client device moves further away from the NF17ACV or solid objects block direct line of sight to the router, your wireless connection and performance may degrade. This may or may not be directly noticeable, and is greatly affected by the individual installation environment.

If you have concerns about your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction factors, try moving the

computer to a position between three to five meters from the NF17ACV in order to see if distance is the problem.

Note: While some of the items listed below can affect network performance, they will not prohibit your wireless network from functioning; if you are concerned that your network is not operating at its maximum effectiveness, this check list may help.

If you experience difficulties connecting wirelessly between your WiFi Devices and your NF17ACV, please try the following steps:

In multi-storey homes, place the NF17ACV on a floor that is as close to the centre of the home as possible. This may mean placing the NF17ACV on an upper floor.

Try not to place the NF17ACV near a cordless telephone that operates at the same radio frequency as the NF17ACV (2.4GHz/5GHz).

Avoiding obstacles and interference

Avoid placing your NF17ACV near devices that may emit radio “noise,” such as microwave ovens. Dense objects that can inhibit wireless communication include:

Refrigerators

Washers and/or dryers

Metal cabinets

Large aquariums

Metallic-based, UV-tinted windows

If your wireless signal seems weak in some spots, make sure that objects such as those listed above are not blocking the signal’s path (between your devices and the NF17ACV).

Cordless phones

If the performance of your wireless network is impaired after considering the above issues, and you have a cordless phone:

Try moving cordless phones away from your NF17ACV and your wireless-enabled computers.

Unplug and remove the battery from any cordless phone that operates on the 2.4GHz or 5GHz band (check manufacturer’s information). If this fixes the problem, your phone may be interfering with the NF17ACV.

If your phone supports channel selection, change the channel on the phone to the farthest channel from your wireless network. For example, change the phone to channel 1 and move your NF17ACV to channel 11. See your phone’s user manual for detailed instructions.

If necessary, consider switching to a 900MHz or 1800MHz cordless phone.

NetComm Wireless NF17ACV User Guide

www.netcommwireless.com

v1.1

Choosing the “quietest” channel for your wireless network

In locations where homes or offices are close together, such as apartment buildings or office complexes, there may be wireless networks nearby that can conflict with your wireless network. Your wireless adapter may include a utility to assist in scanning for the least congested network, otherwise you may be able to find another piece of software that can be used. These tools display a graphical representation of the wireless networks in range and the channels on which they are operating. Try to find a channel which is not as busy and does not overlap with another one. Channels 1, 6 and 11 are the only channels on 2.4GHz which do not overlap with one another and you should ideally choose one of these channels. Experiment with more than one of the available channels, in order to find the clearest connection and avoid interference from neighbouring cordless phones or other wireless devices.

Hardware installation

1. Connect the power adapter to the Power socket on the back of the NF17ACV.

2. Plug the power adapter into the wall socket and switch on the power.

3. Wait approximately 60 seconds for the NF17ACV to power up.

Connecting a client via Ethernet cable

1. Connect the yellow Ethernet cable provided to one of the ports marked ‘LAN’ at the back of the NF17ACV.

2. Connect the other end of the yellow Ethernet cable to your computer.

3. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the connection to establish.

4. Open your Web browser, and enter http://192.168.20.1 into the address bar and press enter.

5. Follow the steps to set up your NF17ACV.

Connecting a client wirelessly

1. Ensure WiFi is enabled on your device (e.g. computer/laptop/smartphone).

2. Scan for wireless networks in your area and connect to the network name that matches the Wireless network name

configured on the NF17ACV.

Note: Refer to the included Wireless Security Card for the default SSID and wireless security key of your NF17ACV

3. When prompted for your wireless security settings, enter the Wireless security key configured on the NF17ACV.

4. Wait approximately 30 seconds for the connection to establish.

5. Open your Web browser, and enter http://192.168.20.1 into the address bar and press Enter.

The description of the WAN connection.

Type

The type of WAN connection.

VLAN Mux ID

Details the status of VLAN Mux ID if used.

IPv6

The status of IPv6.

IGMP Pxy

Details the status of IGMP on each WAN connection. IGMP is only used with IP v4 connections. IGMP proxy enables the router to issue IGMP host messages on behalf of hosts that the router discovered through standard IGMP interfaces, allowing NAT transversal of Multicast traffic.

IGMP Src Enbl

Details the status of IGMP Src on each WAN connection. IGMP Sources function send a membership report that includes a list of IGMP source addresses.

MLD Pxy

Shows the status of the Multicast Listener Discovery protocol when IPv6 is in use. Multicast Listener Discovery (MLD) proxy enables the router to issue MLD host messages on behalf of hosts that the router discovered through standard MLD interfaces.

MLD Src Enbl

Details the status of MLD Src on each WAN connection. MLD Sources function can send a membership report that includes a list of MLD source addresses.

NAT

The NAT status of the WAN connection.

Firewall

The status of the router firewall across the WAN connection.

Status

The status of the WAN connection.

IPv4 Address

The current IP v4 address of the WAN connection.

IPv6 Address

The current IP v6 address of the WAN connection.
