Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WiFi Router X4 N300. This router is compliant
with 802.11n and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still
being compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b devices. This router is not only a Wireless
Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Gigabit switch that connects your
wired-Ethernet devices together at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the router uses
advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit multiple streams of
data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless access to multimedia content. The
robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates dead spots and extends the network range.
For data protection and privacy, the router encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP,
WPA, or WPA2 encryption.
With the built-in DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the router protects your computers
against intruders and most known Internet attacks and also provides safe VPN passthrough. With the incredible speed and QoS function of 802.11n, the router is ideal for
media-centric applications like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephony to run
multiple media-intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no
degradation in performance.
With Sitecom Cloud Security, Sitecom goes one step further and ensures that you can
surf the Internet even more safely, not only on your PC, but on all the devices in your
home which you use to access the Internet. It does not matter whether you surf the
Internet on a laptop, a tablet, a mobile telephone or your television. Thanks to the
security that is integrated in the router, all the Internet devices in your home are
protected against the dangers of Internet criminality.

displayed here.
DHCP Server
The DHCP Server tab gives you the opportunity to change the IP settings of the router.
Click Apply at the bottom of this screen to save any changes.
• IP address 192.168.0.1: It is the router‟s LAN IP address (Your LAN clients
default gateway IP address).
• IP Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0: Specify a Subnet Mask for your LAN
segment.
• 802.1d Spanning Tree: Disabled by default. If the 802.1d Spanning Tree
function is enabled, this router will use the spanning tree protocol to prevent
network loops.
• DHCP Server: Enabled by default. You can enable or disable the DHCP server.
When DHCP is disabled no ip-addresses are assigned to clients and you have
to use static ip-addresses. When DHCP server is enabled your computers will
be assigned an ip-address automatically until the lease time expires.

period that the DHCP lends an IP address to your LAN clients. The DHCP will
change your LAN client‟s IP address when this time threshold period is
reached.

server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients. The default IP range is
192.168.0.100 ~ 192.168.0.200. If you want your PC(s) to have a static/fixed
IP address, then you‟ll have to choose an IP address outside this IP address
