1.4 Wireless Performance
The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating coverage of
WRT-416.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate WRT-416 and wireless clients away from transformers, microwave
ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial equipm ents. Keep the
number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible; otherwise the signal strength
may be seriously reduced. Place WRT-416 in open space or add additional Access Point as needed to
improve the coverage.
2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is unique
with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the exact operating
range of WRT-416 in a specific location without testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The bundled antenna of WRT-416 is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing straight up, then
smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal reception is definitely weak in some
certain areas, such as location right down the antenna.
Moreover, the original antenna of WRT-416 can be replac e d with other ext ernal anten nas to extend the
coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can be used
on WRT-416.
4. WLAN type
If WRT-416 is installed in an 802.11b and 802.11g mixed WLAN, its performance will reduced
significantly. Because every 802.11g OFDM packet needs to be preceded by an RTS-CTS or CTS
packet exchange that can be recognized by legacy 802.11b devices. This additional overhead lowers
the speed. If there are no 802.11b devices connected, or if connections to all 802.11b devices are
denied so that WRT-416 can operate in 11g-only mode, then its data rate should actually 54Mbps

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the
WRT-416.
2.1 Hardware Connection
1. Locate an optimum location for the WRT-416. T he be st place for your WRT-416 is usually at the
center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Connect the power adapter to the receptor at the rear panel of the WRT-416, and plug the other end of
the power adapter to a wall outlet or power strip. The Power LED will light up to indicate proper
operation.
3. Power off the ADSL / Cable modem first. Connect ADSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on WRT-416.
Use the cable supplied with your modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem, please use a
RJ-45 Ethernet cable. After the Ethernet cable is securely connected, power on the ADSL / Cabl e
modem. The WAN LED will light up to indicate proper connection.
4. Use an Ethernet cable to connect one of the LAN ports on the WRT-416 and the computer you are
using to configure the router. The corresponding LAN LED will light up to indicate proper connection.
The LAN ports on the WRT-416 are Auto-MDI/MDIX; thus, you can use a straight or crossover
Ethernet cable freely.
5. Adjust the antennas of WRT-416. Tr y to adjust them to a position that can best cover your wireless
network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
Note: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WRT-416. Otherwise, the product may be
damaged.
Note: If you want to reset WRT-416 to default settings, press and hold the Reset button over 5
seconds. And then wait for 10 seconds for WRT-416 restart.

Power (DC 9V): The receptacle where you plug in the power adapter.
WAN: Connect your modem to your router using this port with your supplied Ethernet cable. This is the onl y
port you can use for this procedure. This enables your router to access the Internet. The port supports 10/100
Mbps as well as straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.
LAN Ports 1-4: These four ports connect the router to your LAN or home network using Ethernet cables. This
enables communication among clients, such as PCs, on the network. The LAN ports support either
10-BASE-T or 100-BASE-T transmission speeds as well as straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables .
Any of these four ports can also serve as an uplink port to other network devices, such as another router or
switch, which allows you to extend your network.
Reset button: Resets your router or resets the router to the default login settings.
To reset the AP to the factory defaults, press and hold the Reset button for more than five
seconds. This clears the AP’s user settings, including User ID, Password, IP Address, and
Subnet mask. (Warning: your original configurations will be replaced with the factory default
settings).
Antenna: The antenna used for wireless connections. You are able to rotate the antenna to gain the best
signal reception.
