1: Introduction

The Wireless Access Point Router combines the technolog y of Fast Ethernet and IEEE

802.11b Wireless LAN, prov i di ng the home or smal l of fice user s the C abl e/DSL access
to the Internet via cord and cordless connection. At the same time, integrated with the
firewall and 128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption, the Wireless Access
Point Router allows multiple users to share one Internet connection while ensuring the
safety and security of the packet flow.

Throughout this guide, the Wireless Access Point Router may be referred to as the

Router.

2: Hardware Installation

2.1 Product Description

This chapter describes the features and functions of the router and shows how to
physically install it.

2.1.1 Overview

As the interface between WAN and LAN, the Wireless Access Point Router combines
the technology of Fast Ethernet and IEEE 802.11b Wireless LAN, providing the home
and small office users the broadband access to the internet via cord and cordless
connection. Meanwhile with the integration-the firewall and 128-bit WEP (Wired
Encrypted Privacy) Encryption, the Wireless Access Point Router allows multiple users
to share one Internet connection while ensuring the safety and security of the packet
flow. Also, the design of one antenna will enhance the reception of signals transmitting
from wireless adapters.

Strictly compliant with IEEE 802.11b, the Wireless Access Point Router features the
transmission rate up to 11 Mbps and 2.4 GHz frequency band, easily building up the
wireless communication with other Wireless LAN devices. The local users' IP address
masking and specific port blocking offer two levels of security. Also, the Wireless
Access Point Router serves as a DHCP server that aut omatically assigns IP address to
the devices on your local area network (LAN).

2.1.2 Features

 Interoperable with IEEE 802.11b (DSSS) 2.4GHz compliant equipment
 Transmission speeds adjustable at 1, 2, 5.5, and 11 Mbps.
 Features 2.4 GHz frequency band.
 Capable of up to128-bit WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) Encryption secures the

network connection.

 MAC address filtering
 Supports PPPoE, PPTP Client, and Dynamic DNS
 Connects to a Cable/DSL modem or to an Ethernet backbone
 Equipped with a 4-port 10/100 Mbps Switch
 Creates a firewall to protect your PCs from outside intruders
 Configurable through any networked PC’s web browser
 Speeds up the gaming and multimedia connections dramatically
 Simultaneously act as either a DHCP server on the LAN or a DHCP client on the
