Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of

FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential

installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in

accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no

guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference

to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged

to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

1. Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

2. Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

3. Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is

connected.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.

FCC Caution:

To assure continued compliance, (example-use only shielded interface cables when connecting to computer or

peripheral devices) any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the Following two conditions: (1) This

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this Device must accept any interference received, including

interference that may cause undesired operation.

Federal Communication Commission (FCC) Radiation Exposure Statement

This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure set forth for an uncontrolled environment. In order to avoid the

possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the antenna shall not be less than

20 cm (8 inches) during normal operation.

R&TTE Compliance Statement

This equipment complies with all the requirements of DIRECTIVE 1999/5/CE OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT

AND THE COUNCIL OF 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunication terminal Equipment and the mutual

recognition of their conformity (R&TTE).

The R&TTE Directive repeals and replaces in the directive 98/13/EEC (Telecommunications Terminal Equipment and

Satellite Earth Station Equipment) As of April 8, 2000.

Safety

This equipment is designed with the utmost care for the safety of those who install and use it. However, special

attention must be paid to the dangers of electric shock and static electricity when working with electrical equipment. All

guidelines of this and of the computer manufacture must therefore be allowed at all times to ensure the safe use of the

equipment.

WEEE regulation

To avoid the potential effects on the environment and human health as a result of the presence of hazardous

substances in electrical and electronic equipment, end users of electrical and electronic equipment should

understand the meaning of the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol. Do not dispose of WEEE as unsorted

municipal waste and have to collect such WEEE separately.

1. Locate an optimum location for the WNRT-625. Th e best place for your WNRT-625 is usually at

the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.

2. Adjust the antennas of WNRT-625. Try to adjust them to a position that can best cover your wireless

network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.

and push a paper clip into the hole. Press down the button over 5 seconds and then release. Power on or off.

Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces that connect to the Internet.

Ethernet RJ-45 interfaces that connect to the Ethernet interface of the computer or Ethernet devices. WPS on or off switch.

3. Connect xDSL/Cable Modem to WAN port of WNRT-625. Usually, this cable would be provided with

your modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem, please use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable

4. Connect all of your network devices to LAN port of WNRT-625. Connect all your computers,

network devices (network-enabled consumer devices other than computers, like game console, or switch / hub).Connect one of the LAN ports on WNRT-625 to your LAN switch/hub or a computer with a RJ-45 cable.

5. Plug in power adapter and connect to power source, then press ON/OFF button. After power on,

WNRT-625 will start to operate.

6. Please check all LEDs on the front panel. ‘PWR’ LED should be steadily on. WAN and LAN LEDs

should be on if the computer / network device connected to the respective port of the router is powered on and correctly connected. If PWD LED is not on, or any LED you expected is not on, please recheck the cabling, or jump to ‘Troubleshooting’ for possible reasons and solution.

1. ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WNRT-625. Otherwise, the product may be damaged.

2. If you want to reset WNRT-625 to default settings, press and hold the Reset button over

5 seconds and release. And then wait for WNRT-625 restart.

2.3 Network Setup

After you install your WNRT-625, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP server (WNRT-625) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below:

1. Click on Start > Run.

2. In the run box type “cmd” and click OK. (Windows VistaR users type cmd in the Start .Search box.)At the

prompt.

3. Type “ipconfig” and press Enter. It will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of

adapter.

4. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router.

Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.

Assign a static IP address

If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow

the steps below:

1. - Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network .and .Internet

>Network .and .Sharing .Center > Manage Network Connections.

- Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network Connections.

- Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.

2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.

3. Highlight Internet .Protocol .(TCP/IP) and click Properties.

4. Click Use .the .following .IP .address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your

network or the LAN IP address on your router.

Example: If LAN IP address of WNRT-625 is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X

is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set

Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).

Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is

not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.

5. Click OK twice to save your settings.
