Overview

The P-334WH is an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless broadband router with a four-port 10/100 Mbps switch. The P334WH also works as an access point (AP) or a Wi-Fi WAN router that allows you to access the Internet via a wireless WAN connection.

You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information.

ENGLISH

1 Hardware Connections

Do the following to make hardware connections for initial setup.

WAN Connection

Connect your modem to the WAN port using the cable that came with your modem. LAN Connection

Connect your computer to a LAN port using the included Ethernet cable.

POWER Connection

Use the included power adaptor to connect the POWER socket to an appropriate power source.

The LEDs

Look at the top panel LEDs. When you connect the power, the PWR LED blinks and stays on once the device is ready.

The LAN, WAN and WLAN LEDs turn on if the corresponding connections are properly made.

ENGLISH

2 Accessing the Web Configurator

1 Launch your web browser. Enter “192.168.1.1” as the web site address.

Note: If the login screen does not display, check your browser’s security settings (see

Troubleshooting for details) or make sure your computer is set to receive an IP address

dynamically (see Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address).

2 The Password window displays. Enter the

password (“1234” is the default) and click Login.

3 Change the password in the screen that follows

and click Apply.

4 Click Go to Wizard setup to set up your P-334WH

(in router mode) for the first time. Click Go to Advanced setup to use main menus to

configure advanced features, such as operating mode.

3 Operating Mode

The P-334WH supports three operating modes: Router, Access Point and WiFi WAN Router.

Router (default): Select this mode if the P-334WH is connected to a broadband DSL/cable modem. NAT

allows all LAN computers to access the Internet using the same public IP address.

WiFi WAN Router: In this mode, the P-334WH works similarly as a Router, but uses a wireless WAN connection via an access point (AP) or wireless router, instead of a wired connection via a DSL/cable modem. In this mode, the P-334WH does not allow network access to wireless clients (WLAN).

Access Point: In this mode, the P-334WH works as a Router without routing features (such as NAT), firewall, content filtering, etc.

ENGLISH

When the P-334WH is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, all LAN and WAN ports act as a hub.

If you want to configure the operating mode, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode. See your User’s Guide for more information about the operating modes.

Note: Use the wizard to configure the P-334WH in Router mode. If you want to use the P-334WH in

Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, use the main menus.

4 Connection Wizard Setup

Note: The connection wizard is for setting up Internet access when the P-334WH is in Router mode

only. If the P-334WH is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, using the wizard will reset the operating mode to Router mode (the default).

1 After you log into the web configurator and click

Go to Wizard setup, choose your language from the drop-down list box. Click Next.

2 Click Next to proceed with the Connection Wizard.

Internet Access Setup

Note: Enter the Internet access information exactly as given to you by your ISP in each wizard screen

and then click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous screen.

ENGLISH

Current screen information will be lost if you click Back.

STEP 1: System Information

1 This screen is optional. You can just click Next.

• System Name is for identifying the P-334WH. You

can enter your computer's "Computer Name".

• If you leave the Domain Name blank, the domain

name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used.

STEP 2: Wireless LAN

Configure ONE of the following wireless security types on the P-334WH:

• Auto security: Have the P-334WH automatically generate a pre-shared key.

• None security: Have no wireless LAN security configured. If you do not enable any wireless security on your P-

334WH, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.

• Basic security: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless net-

work. The higher the WEP Encryption, the higher the security but the slower the throughput.

• Extend (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK) security: Configure a Pre-Shared Key. Choose this option only if your wire-

less clients support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK respectively.

Note: The wireless clients and P-334WH must use the same SSID, channel ID and WPA(2)-PSK (if

WPA(2)-PSK is enabled) or WEP encryption key (if WEP is enabled) for wireless communication.

Auto or No Wireless Security

A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WH in the wireless LAN. B Select a wireless security level. Choose Auto or None. C The P-334WH automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WH and

wireless client must use the same channel.

D If you select Auto and click Next, a screen pops up displaying the generated pre-shared key. Click OK to

continue. You can also view the generated pre-shared key in the Wireless LAN > General screen.

ENGLISH

A B C

Basic(WEP) Security

A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WH in the wireless LAN. B Select Basic(WEP) security. C The P-334WH automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WH and

wireless client must use the same channel.

D Select 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit from the WEP Encryption drop-down list. E Select ASCII or Hex WEP key input method. F You can create a WEP key by either:

Entering a Passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and clicking Generate to have the P-334WH automatically generates four WEP keys.

Or Manually entering a key in each Key (1~4) field.

G Select one of the Key radio buttons to use as the default WEP key.

ENGLISH

A B C

Extend (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK) Security

A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WH in the wireless LAN. B Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security. C The P-334WH automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WH and

wireless client must use the same channel.

D Type a pre-shared key to have a more secure wireless connection than WEP encryption. Type from 8 to 63

case-sensitive ASCII characters. You can set up the most secure wireless connection by configuring WPA(2) in the advanced wireless screen. You need to configure a RADIUS server to do this.

Internet Access Setup Complete

If you have any Internet access problems, follow the on-screen instructions.

Click Finish to complete the wizard setup.

Troubleshooting

1 If you cannot access the web configurator using Internet Explorer in Windows XP or Windows Server 2003,

make sure you allow pop-up windows, JavaScripts and Java permissions or set the Internet security level lower than High in Internet Explorer (in Internet Explorer, click Tools > Internet Options > Security >

Custom Level...). See the appendix in the User’s Guide for more information.

2 If you cannot access the Internet when your computer is connected to the LAN port, follow these steps.

A) Check the LEDs on the top panel. If they are different than what is described in section 1, make sure the

connections are correct. If the LEDs are still different, turn off the device, wait a few seconds, and turn it on again.

B) Follow the steps in section 4 again. Make sure you enter the correct information. For example, if your

account has a user name and password, make sure you type it correctly. In addition, if you are not sure which encapsulation your ISP uses, contact your ISP.

C) If you are using a new Internet account, contact your ISP to make sure it is active. D) If the P-334WH is in Access Point mode, make sure the P-334WH is connected to a modem or router. E) If the P-334WH is in WiFi WAN Router mode, make sure the P-334WH is NOT connected to a modem or

router. The P-334WH and AP or wireless router should use the same wireless and wireless security settings.

F) If you still have problems, see Troubleshooting in the User’s Guide.

3 If you cannot access the Internet using the wireless network, follow these steps.

A) If you can access the web configurator, follow steps A - F above. If you do not, go to the next step. B) Make sure your P-334WH and your computer are using the same wireless and wireless security

settings. Follow the steps in section 4.
