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 replaced with other external antennas 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 System Requirement
Cable/ADSL modem and an Internet access account for Internet connection
One computer with 10/100Base-T Ethernet card and TCP/IP protocol installed for initial setup
Internet Explorer 5.0 or higher for Web configuration
802.11g or 802.11b compliant wireless adapters (for wireless connection)
2.2 Hardware Connection
1. Locate an optimum location for the WRT-416. T he b est 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 / Cable
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. Try to adjust them to a position that can best cover your wireless
network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
(Please see the below figure for the whole installation)
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.

z Power (DC 9V): The power socket is where you plug in the power adapter. Please use the power
adapter provided with this wireless broadband router.
z LAN 1- 4: These 4 ports are used to connect the router to your PCs using 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.
z WAN: Connect your modem to your router using this port with your supplied Ethernet cable. This is the
only port you can use for this procedure. This enables your router to access the Internet. T he port
supports 10/100 Mbps as well as straight-through and crossover Ethernet cables.
z Default button: Reset the router to factory default settings (clear all settings) or reboot the router
function.
1. Set to factory defaults: Press this button and hold for over 5 seconds to restore all settings to
factory defaults,
2. Reboot the router: Press this button for less than 5 seconds to reboot.
z Antenna: The antenna used for wireless connections. You are able to rota te the anten na to gain the
best signal reception.
Chapter 3 Configuring Local Networking
After you install your WRT-416, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server (WRT-416) 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 St art .Search box.)At the
prompt.
3. Type “ipconfig” and press Enter. It will display the IP addr ess, 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 WRT-416 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 n ot 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.
Chapter 4 Web Configuration
4.1 Web Login
