Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-340/341/342 Wireless Network
Broadband Router. The WL-340/341/342 is compliant with draft 802.11n v 2.0
up to 6 times faster than standard 802.11g based routers while still being
compatible with 802.11g & 802.11b gadgets. The WL-340/341/342 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.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router
uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technology to transmit
multiple steams of data in a single wireless channel, giving you seamless
access to multimedia content. Robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates
dead spots and extends network range. For data protection and privacy, the
WL-340/341/342 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, and
WPA2 encryption.
With the inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WL-340/341/342
protects your computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks
but provides safe VPN pass-through. With incredible speed and QoS function
of 802.11n(draft2.0), the WL-340/341/342 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.

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
14
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.
IP Address Pool You can select a particular IP address range for your DHCP
server to issue IP addresses to your LAN Clients.
Note: default IP range 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 Pool
Domain Name You can specify a Domain Name for your LAN. Or just keep the
default (sitecomwl34x).
