This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits
are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference
in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance
with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio
communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by
turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct
the interference by one or more of the following measures:

◆ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna

◆ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver

◆ Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to

which the receiver is connected

◆ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to
the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,

| Introduction

Rear Panel

The following items are located on the rear panel (from left to right).

ANTENNAS The access point includes integrated MIMO antennas for wireless

communications. A MIMO antenna system uses two or more identical
antennas to receive and transmit signals, helping to increase data
throughput and range. The antennas transmit the outgoing signal as a
toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped), with the coverage extending most in a
direction perpendicular to the antenna. The antennas should be adjusted to
an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.

POWER CONNECTOR The wireless router must be powered with its supplied power adapter.

Failure to do so results in voiding of any warrantly supplied with the
product.

RESET BUTTON The Reset button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you

hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes
you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is
restored to the wireless router.

CONNECTING THE ROUTER

Before installing the Router, make sure your PC is successfully connected to
the Internet through the broadband service. If there is any problem, first
contact your ISP.

Install the Router according to the following steps.

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

2. Find a good location for the Router. The best place is usually at the

center of your network. The location must meet the Installation

Environment Requirements (page 23).

3. Adjust the position of the antennas. Normally, upright is the best

position.

4. Connect wired PCs and switches/hubs to the LAN ports on the Router,

as shown in Figure 3 on page 25.

3 QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE

TCP/IP CONFIGURATION

This chapter shows you how to quickly configure the basic functions of your
SMCWGBR14-N2 Wireless N Gigabit Router using the Quick Setup Wizard.

The default IP address of the SMCWGBR14-N2 Wireless N Gigabit Router is

192.168.2.1. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values
can be changed as needed. In this guide, the default values are used for all
descriptions.

Connect a local PC to one of the LAN ports on the Router. Then configure
the IP address for the PC in one of 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 “Configuring the PCs” on page 125.

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

(“xxx” is any number from 2 to 254), the Subnet Mask is

255.255.255.0, and the 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 on how to do this, refer to

“Configuring the PCs” on page 125.

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

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

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

If the displayed result is similar to the following figure, it means the
connection between your PC and the Router is functioning.

If the displayed result is similar to the following figure, it means the
connection between your PC and the Router is not functioning.

Figure 5: Failure of a Ping Command

To check the connection, follow these steps:

1. Verify that the LAN port LED to which the PC is connected on the Router

and the LED on your PC's network adapter are turned on.

2. Verify that the Router's IP address is 192.168.2.1, and that your PC's IP

address is within the range of 192.168.2.2 ~ 192.168.2.254.

Router. The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh or
UNIX OS with a Web browser.

1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type the

default address http://192.168.2.1 in the address field of the browser.

3. Click Next, and then WAN Connection Type page will appear.

Figure 9: Choose WAN Connection Type

The Router provides Auto-Detect function and supports three popular
ways PPPoE, Dynamic IP, and Static IP, to connect to the Internet. It is
recommended that you make use of the Auto-Detect function. If you
are sure of what kind of connection type your ISP provides, you can
select the type and click Next to go on configuring.

4. If you select Auto-Detect, the Router will automatically detect the

connection type your ISP provides. Make sure the cable is securely
plugged into the WAN port before detection. The appropriate
configuration page will be displayed when an active Internet service is
successfully detected by the Router.

a. If the connection type detected is PPPoE, the next screen will

appear.
