This guide only covers the most common situations. See the complete User’s Manual on the CD-ROM for
advanced conguration
Requirements
• Cable modem or DSL/ADSL modem.
• Standard 10/100BaseT (UTP) net work cables with RJ45 connectors.
• PCs with TCP/IP net work protocol.
Setting up the broadband router
1 Physical installation
1 For the installation of the Broadband router it is assumed that you have at least one PC with a working
broadband Internet connection. It is also assumed that the modem is congured in accordance with the
requirements of your ISP and of the modem manufacturer. If not, consult your ISP support literature.
2 Before you be gin, ensure that the power lead is not connected to either the broadband router or the cable
modem/DSL modem. Leave your cable modem/DSL modem plugged in (telephone line or cable input ).
3 Connect the L AN cables: For the WL-114, use standard LAN cables to connect the PCs to the LAN ports
(hub) on the broadband router.
4. Connect your cable modem/DSL modem to the WAN -port on the broadband router. Use the cable
supplied with your cable modem/DSL modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem, use a standard
network cable.
5. Switch on the cable modem/DSL modem.
6. Connect the power supply adapter to the broadband router. Use only the adapter supplied with the router.
7. Check the LEDs:
• The M1 LED should turn on and after a few seconds it should start BLINKING
• The M2 LED should turn OFF, if this light stays on this usually indicates a hardware problem, in this case
please contact Sitecom support.
• The WAN LED must be ON.
• For each active LAN connection, the associate d LAN Link/Act LED must be ON.

• Login with the username admin and password admin.
• Go to Basic set tings->Wireless
• Change the settings according to your wishes.
• Network ID (SSID): The SSID is an unique ID used by Access Point and stations to identif y a wireless
LAN. Make sure all wireless stations and Access Points have the same SSID. The SSID can be set up to
32 characters and is case sensitive.
• Channel: Enables you to change the channel of the wireless network. Ever y channel corresponds with a
different frequenc y in the 2.4Ghz band.
• Encryption: By default None is selected. This means encr yption is not enabled. See the next chapter for
more information about encryption.

Advanced wireless settings - Encryption
Data Encr yption lets you enable encryption and set the encryption keys, making your data transmissions in
your wireless network more secure. The WL-114 supports a wide range of encryption algorithms including the
latest WPA standard.
Note Before setting up encryption, make sure your wireless clients support the encryption type you want
to use. While almost all wireless adapters will suppor t WEP encryption there are still a few which do not
support WPA encryption.
If you use an encryption type which your wireless clients do not support, they will not be able to communicate
with the router, resulting in a loss of network connection.
WEP
WEP- encryption is the simplest form of encryption and uses a single static key to encrypt and decr ypt all traf c
between your router and wireless clients. To set up WEP encryption follow these steps:
• Select WEP
• Select the encryption strength, 64-bit, 128- bit, or 256-bit. The higher the bit count, the stronger the
encryption.
• Enter the key you wish to use for encryption in the WEP Key 1 text eld. See the follow table for valid WEP
key formats:
64 bit hexadecimal 10 characters A- F & 0-9
128 bit hexadecimal 26 characters A- F & 0-9
256 bit hexadecimal 58 characters A- F & 0-9
• Click Save to save the changes.
• Click Reboot to activate the changes you have made.

WPA-PSK
WPA is the ofcial successor to WEP encr yption featuring a more advanced encryption algorithm and making
use of dynamic encryption keys providing a much more secured wireless connection. If possible you should
use this encr yption type. To set up WPA -PSK encryption follow these steps:
• Select WPA-PSK
• Select which type of encryption key you wish to use; ASCII or HEX.
• Enter your encryption key. Unlike WEP encryption, a WPA-PSK encryption key can be of any length.
• Click Save to save the changes.
• Click Reboot to activate the changes you have made.
