Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-340/WL-341 Wireless Network
Broadband Router. The WL-340/WL-341 is compliant with draft 802.11n v2.0
and up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still being
compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b gadgets. The WL-340/WL-341 is not only a
Wireless Access Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Switch that
connects your wired-Ethernet devices together.
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. Robust RF signals travel farther, eliminating dead
spots and extending network range. For data protection and privacy, the WL-
340/WL-341 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2
encryption.
With an inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WL-340/WL-341
protects your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but
provides safe VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and the QoS
function of 802.11n(draft2.0), the WL-340/WL-341 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.

DHCP Server
The DHCP server tab gives you the opportunity to change the IP settings of the
WL-340/WL-341.
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.
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.
Lease Time Forever. In the Lease Time setting you can specify the time 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.
Start IP/End IP You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP
server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients.
15
Note: default IP range 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.199. 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 Pool
Domain Name You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN. Or just keep the
default (Sitecom).
