4.4 Hardware Installation
4.4.1 System Requirements
Before installing the device, please ensure that the following items are ready:
At least one Ethernet RJ45 cable (10/100/1000Base-T)  One wireless router  A PC is already installed with the TCP/IP protocol and the PC can access the
Internet.
19
4.4.2 Before You Begin
Before you install the device, please pay attention to the following items: When the device is connected to a computer, hub, router or switch, the
Ethernet cable should be less than 100 meters.
Do not place this device on an unstable surface or support. Do not put this
device on the ground.
Keep the device clean. Avoid the device from direct sunshine. Avoid any
metal in the device.
Place the device in the center of the area, and try to optimize the wireless
coverage.
4.4.3 Connecting the Device
To connect the device, do as follows:
Step 1 Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the LAN interface of the wireless
router.
Step 2 Connect the other end of the RJ45 cable to your PC. Step 3 Connect the power adapter to the power socket of the wireless router.
4.5 Operation Range
The operation range of the wireless router depends on the actual environment. The path and effect of signal transmission vary according to the deployment in a house or an office.
We suggest indoor use.
4.6 Roaming
Suppose that several wireless routers run in the same network. Each wireless router serves as a BSS that has its coverage range. One wireless client (for example, a notebook PC or PDA) can realize roaming from one AP to another AP accurately. In that case, the wireless client can communicate with the other devices within the coverage range of the wireless router.
20
To realize roaming in the coverage range of the wireless router by a wireless client, you need to set the APs properly as follows:
Set the same SSID for different APs. The SSIDs of all the computers and PDAs should be consistent with that of
APs.
All the BSSs must use the same wireless channel. If the encryption function is enabled, all wireless routers must be configured
with the same encryption mode and encryption key for establishing connection.
Wireless routers must keep coverage of uninterrupted wireless signals in the
whole operation environment. Hence, please put wireless routers to the appropriate places.
21
5 TCP/IP Settings and Wireless Connection
Introduction
5.1 TCP/IP Settings
By default, the LAN IP address of the wireless router is 192.168.1.1, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, and the DHCP server is enabled. It is recommended to set the network adapter to Obtain an IP address automatically. Then, your PC obtains the TCP/IP settings, including the IP address, subnet mask, gateway, and DNS address automatically through the wireless router. If you know the settings of the current LAN interface, you can manually set the TCP/IP properties of the network adapter, so that your PC can communicate with the wireless router. To manually set the network adapter, do as follows: Step 1 Right-click the icon of My Network Places and choose Properties from
the menu. The Network Connections window appears.
22
Step 2 Right-click the network adapter icon and choose Properties from the
menu. The Local Area Connections Properties window appears.

Local Area Connections Properties window may appears.
Step 3 Double-click Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) Properties window appears.
23
Step 4 Select Use the following IP address and enter the IP address of the
network adapter. The IP address must be 192.168. 1.X (X is a number in the range of 2 to 254). If you want to access the Internet through a wireless router, you need to enter the default gateway and IP address of the DNS server correctly.
24
Step 5 Set the subnet mask and click OK. Step 6 After setting, you can ping the default IP address of the wireless router,
to check whether the current connection between the PC and the wireless router is normal. Choose Start > Run from the desktop and enter ping 192.168.1.1. See the following figure:
25
Note:
192.168.1.1 in the ping command is the default IP add ress o f the LAN interf ace.
