2.0 | Hardware Description
The Router can be connected to the Internet or to a remote site using
its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected directly to your PC or to a
local area network using any of the Fast Ethernet LAN ports.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type. Full-rate
ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and 640 Kbps upstream.
G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to 1.5 Mbps downstream and
512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems can provide up to 36 Mbps
downstream and 2 Mbps upstream. ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps
when using two bearer channels. PSTN analog connections can now
run up to 56 Kbps. However, you should note that the actual rate
provided by specific service providers may vary dramatically from
these upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the modem
type connected to the Router, data passing between devices
connected to your local area network can run up to 100 Mbps over the
Fast Ethernet ports.
The Router includes an LED display on the front panel for system
power and port indications that simplifies installation and network
troubleshooting. It also provides four RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45
WAN port on the rear panel.
• 4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can
auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode
to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network
device with straight-through cable). These ports can be
connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an
Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device
such as an Ethernet hub or switch.
• One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem (WAN).
This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to
10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals
to MDI/MDI-X.

CHAPTER 3 | INSTALLING THE EZ-STREAM WIRELESS
OUTER
R
Before installing the EZ-Stream Universal 2.4GHz/5GHz Wireless
Cable/DSL Broadband Router, verify that you have all the items listed
under “Package Contents” on page 2. If any of the items are missing
or damaged, contact your local SMC distributor. Also be sure that you
have all the necessary cabling before installing the Router. After
installing the Router, refer to the web-based configuration program in
“Configuring the EZ-Stream Wireless Router” on page 25 for
information on configuring the Router.
The Router can be positioned at any convenient location in your
office or home. No special wiring or cooling requirements are needed.
You should, however comply with the following guidelines:
• Keep the Router away from any heating devices.
• Do not place the Router in a dusty or wet environment.
You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the power
cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you install the
Router.
3.0 | Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the WAN: Connect an Ethernet cable from your cable
or DSL modem to the WAN port on the back on the Router.
2. Connect the LAN: Connect the Router to your PC, or to a hub or
switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the LAN ports on the
rear of the Router to your computer’s network adapter or to
another network device.
You may also connect the Router to your PC (using a wireless
client adapter) via radio signals. Position both antennas on the
back of the Router into the desired positions. For more
effective coverage, position the antennas along different axes.
For example, try positioning the antennas around 45 to 90
degrees apart. (The antennas emit signals along the toroidal
plane – and thus provide more effective coverage when
positioned along different axes.)

3.1 | Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the Router auto-negotiate the connection
speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, and the
transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on the
Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC. Otherwise, you can
cascade any of the LAN ports on the Router to an Ethernet hub or
switch, and then connect your PC or other network equipment to the
hub or switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the
plug clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Router. Instead, use only
twisted-pair cables with RJ-45 connectors that
conform with FCC standards.

3.2 | Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
Install a wireless network adapter in each computer that will be
connected to the Internet or your local network via radio signals. SMC
currently offers several wireless network cards, including the
SMC2802W wireless PCI and SMC2835W wireless PC cards.
Rotate both antennas on the back of the Router to the desired
position. For more effective coverage, position the antennas around
45 to 90 degrees apart. Try to place the Router in a position that is
located in the center of

your wireless network. Normally, the higher
the better the performance. Ensure that the
Computers equipped with a wireless adapter can communicate with
each other as an independent wireless LAN by configuring each
computer to the same radio channel. However, the Router can
provide access to your wired/wireless LAN or to the Internet for all
wireless workstations. Each wireless PC in this network infrastructure
can talk to any computer in the wireless group via a radio link, or
access other computers or network resources in the wired LAN
infrastructure or over the Internet via the Router.
8
Attach to Your Network Using Radio Signals
The wireless infrastructure configuration not only extends the
accessibility of wireless PCs to the wired LAN, but also increases the
effective wireless transmission range for wireless PCs by
retransmitting incoming radio signals through the Router.
A wireless infrastructure can be used for access to a central database,
or for connection between mobile workers, as shown in the following

4.1 | Setting Up TCP/IP
To access the Internet through the Router, you must configure the
network settings of the computers on your LAN to use the same IP
subnet as the Router. The default network settings for the Router
are:
Gateway IP Address: 192.168.2.1
Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0
13
Configuring Client TCP/IP
Note: These settings may be changed to suit your network
requirements, but you must first configure at least
one computer as described in this chapter to access
the Router’s web configuration interface. See
“Configuring the EZ-Stream Wireless Router” on
page 25 for information on configuring the Router.)
If you have not previously configured TCP/IP for your computer, refer
to“Configuring Client TCP/IP” on page 11. The IP address of the
connected client PC should be 192.168.2.x (where x means 2–254).
You can set the IP address for client PCs either by automatically
obtaining an IP address from the Router’s DHCP service or by manual
configuration.
The information outlined here will guide you through the
configuration for the following operating systems:
• Windows 95/98
• Windows Me
• Windows NT
• Windows 2000
• Windows XP
• Apple Macintosh
Configuring Your Computer in Windows 95/98/Me
