Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) networks and users demanding higher
network performance. The routers integrate a 4-port switch, firewall, NAT
router, and wireless access point (AP).

INCREDIBLE SPEED

The SMCWBR14S-N5 provides up to 150 Mbps wireless connections with
other 802.11n wireless clients, and the SMCWBR14-N5 provides up to
300 Mbps connections. The speed makes the routers ideal for handling
multiple data streams at the same time, which ensures your network
remains stable and smooth. The routers are compatible with all IEEE

802.11g and IEEE 802.11b products.

MULTIPLE SECURITY PROTECTIONS

With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control, 64/
128/152-bit WEP encryption, Wi-Fi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA­PSK), as well as advanced firewall protection, the routers provide complete
data privacy.

FLEXIBLE ACCESS CONTROL

The routers provide flexible access control, so that parents or network
administrators can establish restricted access policies for children or staff.
It also supports Virtual Server and DMZ host for Port Triggering, and then
the network administrators can manage and monitor the network in real
time with the remote management function.

SIMPLE INSTALLATION

Since the routers are compatible with all major operating systems, it is
easy to manage. A Quick Setup Wizard is supported and detailed step-by­step instructions are provided in this User Guide. Before installing the
router, read through this guide to understand all the router’s features.

2 CONNECTING THE ROUTER

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

You must meet the following minimum requirements:

◆ Broadband Internet Access Service (DSL/Cable/Ethernet)

◆ One DSL/Cable Modem that has an RJ-45 connector.

◆ PCs with working Ethernet adapters and Ethernet cables with RJ-45

connectors.

◆ TCP/IP protocol on each PC.

◆ Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, or

Apple Safari.

INSTALLATION ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS

◆ Place the Router in a well ventilated place far from any heater or

heating vent

◆ Avoid direct exposure to any strong light (such as sunlight)

◆ Keep at least 2 inches (5 cm) of clear space around the Router

◆ Operating Temperature: 0 °C ~ 40 °C (32 °F ~ 104 °F)

◆ Operating Humidity: 10% ~ 90% RH, Non-condensing

CONNECTING THE ROUTER

Before installing the Router, make sure your PC is successfullyconnected to
the Internet through the broadband service. If there are any problems,
first contact your ISP. After that, install the Router according to the
following steps.

1. Power off your PC, Cable/DSL Modem, and the Router.

2. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place is usually at

the center of your network. The place must meet the Installation
Environment Requirements.

3 QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

This chapter shows you how to quickly configure the basic functions of your
Router using the Quick Setup Wizard.

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.2.1. And the default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you
desire. In this guide, all the default values are used for descriptions.

Connect local PCs to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can
configure the IP address for your PC in the following two ways.

CONFIGURE THE IP ADDRESS MANUALLY

1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions on how

to do this, refer to Appendix B: “Configuring the PC” on page 114.

2. Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.2.xxx

(“xxx” is any number from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0,
and Gateway is 192.168.2.1 (the Router's default IP address).

OBTAIN AN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY

1. Set the TCP/IP Protocol to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode

on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, refer to
Appendix B: “Configuring the PC” on page 114.

2. Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.

Now you can run the Ping command at the command prompt to verify the
network connection between your PC and the Router. The following
example is for Windows 2000.

Open a command prompt and type “ping 192.168.2.1”, and then press
Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 4 on page 31, it means a
connection between your PC and the Router has been established.
