Chapter 2 Installing and Using Wireless Router

This chapter provides a step-by-step guide to the installation and configuration of the Wireless

Router. We suggest you go over the whole chapter and then do more advanced operation.

2.1 Connecting this Router to your network

Steps to build up the network:

¾ Connect the phone line from the wall socket to the line-in port on the ADSL modem, or the

coaxial cable to the line-in port on the Cable modem.

¾ Connect the ADSL or Cable modem to the Ethernet WAN port on the back of the Wireless

Router by using the UTP cable.

¾ Plug-in the power adapter to the modem and turn on the power. Install the Ethernet card into

the computer by referring to the User Guide that came with the card.

¾ Connect the computer to the Wireless Router by using standard twisted-pair Ethernet cable

from the computer’s Ethernet card to a 10/100Mbps Ethernet port on the back of the

Wireless Router.

¾ Plug-in the power adapter to the Router and the other side to the wall outlet.

Enter the IP Address of the router in your network.

DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. It is a protocol for assigning dynamic IP addresses “automatically.” You can select to use this router as a DHCP client or DHCP server. To give your LAN client an IP, you have to enable “DHCP Server”. If not, manual setting up your client IP is necessary when you want to use the router as your client’s default gateway.

Your ISP may require a particular MAC address in order for you to connect to the Internet. This MAC address is the PC’s MAC address that your ISP had originally connected your Internet connection to.

MAC cloning feature allows the MAC address reported by WAN side network interface card to be set to the MAC address already registered with the ISP eliminating the need to register the new MAC address with the ISP. This feature does not change the actual MAC address on the NIC, but instead changes the MAC address reported by Wireless Router to client requests. To Change the MAC address, enter it in the text box.

Appendix B: Glossary

z 802.11b - The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using

direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio

spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to

as Wi-Fi networks.

z 802.11g - specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence

spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the

unlicensed radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices,

and WEP encryption for security.

z 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-input

multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and 3receiver antennas to allow for

increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the

spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced

Wireless Consortium (EWC)3 was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.11n development

process and promote a technology specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless

local area networking (WLAN) products.

z DDNS (Dynamic Domain Name System) - The capability of assigning a fixed host and domain

name to a dynamic Internet IP Address.

z DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) - A protocol that automatically configure the

TCP/IP parameters for the all the PC(s) that are connected to a DHCP server

z DMZ (Demilitarized Zone) - A Demilitarized Zone allows one local host to be exposed to the

Internet for a special-purpose service such as Internet gaming or videoconferencing.

z DNS (Domain Name System) – An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into

IP addresses.

z Domain Name - A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.

z DoS (Denial of Service) - A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from

operating or communicating.

DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) - A technology that allows data to be sent or received over

existing traditional phone lines.

z NAT (Network Address Translation) - NAT technology translates IP addresses of a local area

network to a different IP address for the Internet.

z PPPoE (Point to Point Protocol over Ethernet) - PPPoE is a protocol for connecting remote

hosts to the Internet over an always-on connection by simulating a dial-up connection.

z SSID - A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key

identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to

Wireless 11n 1T1R Travel Router

communicate with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is

typically the configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in

the wireless Access Point and to the wireless network name.

z WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) - A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or

152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.

z Wi-Fi - A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless

Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group

promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.

z WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network) - A group of computers and associated devices

communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local

area.
