1. Introduction
1.1. Product Overview
WF-2405 is dedicated to Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) Wireless network
solution. The ability to be powered through a USB connection when power outlets are scarce,
compact design, and included travel bag all further the device's ability to deliver networking
with a very high degree of mobility. It provides up to 150Mbps data transmission rate in
2.4GHz frequency, complies with IEEE 802.11n, IEEE 802.11g and IEEE802.11b and
backwards compatible with all IEEE 802.11n/g/b devices. And the router also supports
wireless LAN up to 128-bit WEP, WPA/WPA2 encryption security. The Wireless-N
Router also provides WEB and Remote Management and system log so that network
administrators can manage and monitor the network in real time. The Wireless-N
Router also provides a hardware WPS (Wi-Fi protected setup) button, which helps you setup a
secure wireless network in a snap. The button lets you activate the wireless protection easily.
1.2. Main Features
Comply with IEEE802.11n/g/b, IEEE802.3 10Base-T, IEEE802.3u 100Base-TX
standards
External switch for wireless modes: AP-Router, Client, AP Powered through a USB connection Support 64/128-bit WEP, WPA and WPA2 wireless security modes Support static ARP, MAC filtering, IP access control, DNS filter Support FTP, PPTP and L2TP pass through Support UPNP (universal plug and play) Upgradeable firmware for future functions WPS(PIN/PBC) enable Support DMZ

2.3. How to Restore factory configuration
If the router ever freezes in a setting change process or if you can‟t access it because you can‟t
remember the IP you have given it or other problem, you may have to utilize the reset button on
the back of the router to put it back to factory settings. You have to press and hole this button
for a few seconds (2-6s) with a pencil when it is working, then release and it will restore
settings to the factory configuration.
The other way to restore factory settings is through the same user interface used in setup.
Click on „System management‟- „Restore‟, and click on the „Restore‟ button.
2.4. Hardware Installation Procedures
The WF-2405 can work at AP-Router, Client, and AP mode. Each mode meets different
requirements, you can select corresponding mode as you wish. So please check which mode
is that you want, then install your device following the procedures below.
