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.
2
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.

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.
1
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.

of cabling required. Basically the access points will act as a client and an access point at the same
time.
WDS is incompatible with WPA. Both features cannot be used at the same time. A WDS link is
bi-directional, so the AP must know the MAC address of the other AP, and the other AP must have a
WDS link back to the AP.
Dynamically assigned and rotated encryption key are not supported in a WDS connection. This means
that WPA and other dynamic key assignment technologies may not be used. Only Static WEP keys
may be used in a WDS connection, including any STAs that are associated with a WDS repeating AP.
Enter the MAC address of the other APs that you want to link to and click enable.
