information and streams media-data (like audio/video/picture/files) to UPnP-
clients on the network. It is a computer system or a similar digital appliance
that stores digital media, such as photographs, movies, or music and shares
these with other devices. User can plug in USB disk to product USB port and
use AV UPnP client to play USB disk media-data (like
audio/video/picture/files)
Route Setup
Dynamic routing is a distance-vector routing protocol, which employs the hop
count as a routing metric. RIP prevents routing loops by implementing a limit on the
number of hops allowed in a path from the source to a destination. The maximum
number of hops allowed for RIP is 15
Static routing is a data communication concept describing one way of
configuring path selection of routers in computer networks. It is the type
of routing characterized by the absence of communication between routers regarding
the current topology of the network.This is achieved by manually adding routes to the
router routing table.
Item Description

Chapter 6.Q & A
• Where is the XDSL Router installed on the network?
A:In a typical environment, the Router is installed between the XDSL line and
the LAN. Plug the XDSL Router into the XDSL line on the wall and Ethernet
port on the Hub (switch or computer).
• Why does the throughput seem slow?
A:To achieve maximum throughput, verify that your cable doesn’t exceed 100
meter. If you have to do so, we advise you to purchase a bridge to place it in
the middle of the route in order to keep the quality of transmitting signal. Out
of this condition you would better test something else.
◦ Verify network traffic does not exceed 37% of bandwidth.
◦ Check to see that the network does not exceed 10 broadcast messages
per second.
◦ Verify network topology and configuration.
• Why doesn’t BR261c power up?
A:Check if the output voltage is suitable, or check if the power supply is out
of order.
• The Internet browser still cannot find or connect to BR261c after verifying the
IP address and LAN cable, the changes cannot be made, or password is lost.
A:In case BR261c is inaccessible; you can try to restore its factory default
settings. Please press the “Reset” button and keep it pressed for over 7
seconds and the light of STATUS will vanish. The LEDs will flash again when
reset is successful.
• Why does BR261c shut down unexpectedly?
A:Re-plug your power adapter. Then, check the STATUS indicator; if it is off,
the internal flash memory is damaged. For more help, please contact with
your provider.
• What is the default IP address of the router for LAN port?
A:The default IP address is 192.168.1.1 with subnet mask 255.255.255.0
• I don't know my WAN IP.
A:There are two ways to know.
Way 1:Check with your Internet Service Provider.
Way 2:Check the setting screen of BR261c . Click on Status & Log item to
select Network Configuration on the Main Menu. WAN IP is shown
on the WAN interface.
• How can I check whether I have static WAN IP Address?
A:Consult your ISP to confirm the information, or check Network
Configuration in BR261c ’s Main Menu.
• Will the Router allow me to use my own public IPs and Domain, or do I have
to use the IPs provided by the Router?
A:Yes, the Router mode allows for customization of your public IPs and
Domain.
• Why can’t my computer work online after connecting to BR261c ?
A: It’s possible that your Internet protocol (TCP/IP) was set to use the
following IP address. Please do as the following steps. (Windows 2000 & XP)
Start＞Settings＞Network and Dial-up Connections＞double click on Internet
Protocol(TCP/IP)＞select obtain IP address automatically ＞ Click on OK
button. Then, open Internet browser for testing. If you still can’t go online,
please test something else below.
◦ Verify network configuration by ensuring that there are no duplicate IP
addresses.
◦ Power down the device in question and ping the assigned IP address of
the device. Ensure no other device responds to that address.
◦ Check that the cables and connectors or use another LAN cable.
• Why can't I connect to the router's configuration utility?
A:Possible Solution 1: Make sure that your Ethernet connect properly and
securely. Make sure that you've plugged in the power cord.
Possible Solution 2: Make sure that your PC is using an IP address within the
range of 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. Make sure that the address of the
subnet mask is 255.255.255.0. If necessary, the Default Gateway data
should be at 192.168.1.1. To verify these settings, perform the following
steps:
Windows 2000, or XP Users:
◦ Click on Windows Start >click on Run > input cmd > click on OK
button.
◦ At the DOS prompt, type ipconfig/all.

• Web page hangs, corrupt downloads, or nothing but junk characters is being
displayed on the screen. What do I need to do?
A:Force your NIC to 10Mbps or half duplex mode, and turn off the "Autonegotiate" feature of your NIC as a temporary measure. (Please look at the
Network Control Panel, in your Ethernet Adapter's Advanced Properties tab.)
• Why can't I connect to the Web Configuration?
A:you can remove the proxy server settings in your web browser.
• Why does BR261c ’s setup page shut down unexpectedly?
A:If one of the pages appears incompletely in BR261c ’s setup pages, please
click on Logout item on the Main Menu before shutting it down. Don’t keep it
working. Then, close Internet browser and open it again for going back to the
previous page.
• I don’t know how to configure DHCP.
A:DHCP is commonly used in the large local network. It allows you to
manage and distribute IP addresses from 2 to 254 throughout your local
network via BR261c . Without DHCP, you would have to configure each
computer separately. It’s very troublesome. Please Open Internet browser >
Input 192.168.1.1 in the website blank field > Select DHCP Server under the
IP Config Menu. For more information, please refer to Router Mode or AP
Mode).
• How do I upgrade the firmware of BR261c ?
A:Periodically, a new Flash Code is available for BR261c on your product
supplier’s website. Ideally, you should update BR261c ’s Flash Code using
Firmware Upgrade on the System Management menu of BR261c Settings.
• Why is that I can ping to outside hosts, but cannot access Internet websites?
A:Check the DNS server settings on your PC. You should get the DNS
servers settings from your ISP. If your PC is running a DHCP client, remove
any DNS IP address setting. As the router assign the DNS settings to the
DHCP-client-enabled PC.
• BR261c couldn’t save the setting after click on Apply button?
A:BR261c will start to run after the setting finished applying, but the setting
isn’t written into memory. Here we suggest if you want to make sure the
setting would be written into memory, please reboot the device via Reboot
under System Management directory.
• Why couldn’t my wireless notebook work on-line after checking?
A:Generally, Wireless networks can sometimes be very complicated to set
up, particularly if you're dealing with encryption and products from different
vendors. Any number of variables can keep your workstations from talking to
each other. Let's go over some of more common ones.
For starters, verify that your router and your workstation are using the same
SSID descriptions. SSID acts as a password when a mobile device tries to
connect to the wireless network. The SSID also differentiates one WLAN
from another, so all access points and all devices attempting to connect to a
specific WLAN must use the same SSID. A workstation will not be permitted
to connect to the network unless it can provide this unique identifier. This is
similar to the function of your network's Workgroup or Domain name.
When you're experiencing conductivity problems, it is always best to keep
things simple. So next you are going to do is that, please disable any WEP
encryption you might have configured.
Successful implementation of encryption also includes the use of a shared
key. A HEX key is the most common, but other formats are also used. This
key identifies the workstation to the router as a trusted member of this
network. Different manufacturers can implement this key technology in ways
that might prevent them from working correctly with another vendor's
products. So pay attention to detail is going to be the key to a successful
installation.
Next make sure the router and the NIC are configured to use the same
communications channel. There are normally 11 of them, and the default
channel can also vary from vendor to vendor. You might also want to confirm
that the router has DHCP services enabled and an address pool configured.
If not, the NIC won't be able to pick up an IP address. I have run across a
few access points that offer DHCP services but do not assign all of the
needed IP information to the NIC. As a result, I was able to connect to the
network, but could not browse the web. The point is, don't assume anything.
Verify for yourself that all of the required settings are being received by the
workstation.
Finally, you might want to keep the system you're trying to configure in the
same room as the router, at least during the initial configuration, in order to
minimize potential interference from concrete walls or steel beams.
• My PC can’t locate the Wireless Access Point.
A:Check the following:
◦ Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in
Infrastructure Mode.)
◦ The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example
“Workgroup” does NOT match “workgroup”.
◦ Both your PC and the Wireless Access Point must have the same
setting for WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is
disabled, so your wireless station should also have WEP disabled.
◦ If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP
enabled, and the key must match.
◦ If the Wireless Router’s Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to
selected Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations
must have been selected, or access will be blocked.
◦ To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the Wireless Access Point. Remember that the
connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments.
• Wireless connection speed is very slow.
A: The wireless system will connect at highest possible speed, depending on
the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection
speed, you can experiment with following:
◦ Access Point location: Try adjusting the location and orientation of the
Access Point.
◦ Wireless Channel: If interference is the problem, changing to another
channel may show a marked improvement.
◦ Radio Interference: Other devices may be causing interference. You can
experiment by switching other devices off, and see if this helps. Any
“noisy” devices should be shielded or relocated.
◦ RF Shielding: Your environment may tend to block transmission between
the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible
when close to the Access Point.
• Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.
A:The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not
transparent. Use the Special Application feature to allow the use of Internet
applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem,
you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every
application, but:
◦ It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
◦ Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
• I can’t connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
A:Check the following:
◦ The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it
is powered ON.
◦ Make sure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment.
◦ If your PC is set to “Obtain an IP Address automatically” (DHCP client),
restart it.
◦ If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, make sure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.1.129 to 192.168.1.253 and thus
compatible with the Wireless Router’s default IP Address of
192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to
match the Wireless Router. In Windows, you can check these settings by
using Control Panel ~ Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP
protocol.
• The WinXP wireless interface couldn’t communicate the WEP with SAPIDO
BR261c’s wireless interface.
A:The default WEP of WinXP is Authentication Open System - WEP, but the
WEP of SAPIDO BR261c is only for Shared Key - WEP, it caused both sides
couldn’t communicate. Please select the WEP of WinXP from Authentication
Open System to Pre-shared Key - WEP, and then the WEP wireless interface
between WinXP and SAPIDO BR261c would be communicated.
•
Vista / WIN7 can not access USB disk if samba is "user mode"
a. Open Control Panel.
b. Choose Administrative Tools.
c. Click Local Security Policy.
d. Under Local Policies and Security Options，change Network security: LAN
Manager Authentication Level from “Not Defined” to “Send LM & NTLM
responses”
• What is the maximum number of IP addresses that the XDSL Router will
support?
A:The Router will support to 253 IP addresses with NAT mode.
• Is the Router cross-platform compatible?
A:Any platform that supports Ethernet and TCP/IP is compatible with the
Router.
• Why does the router dial out for PPPoE mode very often?
A:Normally some of game, music or anti-virus program will send out packets
that trigger the router to dial out, you can close these programs. Or you can
set the idle time to 0, then control to dial out manually.
• What can I do if there is already a DHCP server in LAN?
A:If there are two DHCP servers existing on the same network, it may cause
conflict and generate trouble. In this situation, we suggest to disable DHCP
server in router and configure your PC manually.
