Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of the WL-612 Wireless ADSL2+ Modem.
The WL-612 uses technology based on 802.11n, and is fully compliant with
802.11g & 802.11b. The modem provides even better performance when
used in combination with 54g or 802.11n client adapters.
The WL-612 is not only a Modem or Wireless Access Point, but can also be
used to connect a wired-Ethernet device.
For data protection and privacy, the WL-612 can encode all wireless
transmissions with WEP, WPA, and WPA2 encryption. By default, the modem
is secured with a WPA2(AES) encryption key. (The WPA2-key is printed on the
label underneath the modem.)
With an inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall the WL-612 protects your
computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks but provides
safe VPN pass-through.

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 is 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.
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 192.168.0.100 192.168.0.199. 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 (SitecomWLxxx).
