unit (located below the bar code on the bottom of the router and also on the shipping carton). The SSID is also
provided in the Router’s Web pages, in the Wireless section. On your PC, locate and run the utility software
provided with your PC’s wireless network adapter. Then, enter the Router’s SSID value (in order to communicate
with the Router, the PC’s wireless network adapter must be configured with the SSID). Later, for privacy, you can
change the SSID by following the procedures outlined in section 11.2, “Basic Security Settings.”
NOTE: Client PCs can use any Wireless 802.11b/g card to communicate with the Router. By default your Router is
enabled for Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) security. Whenever, WEP is configured in the Router, the PC’s
wireless card must use the same WEP security code type as the one provided in Router. The WEP security code is
also located on a label on the bottom of the Router. Always check that your PC’s wireless adapter is configured
properly for whichever network setting you use: WEP or WPA. You can configure the settings in the advanced
properties of the PC’s wireless network adapter.
To network your Router to PCs in your home or office using a wireless installation, follow the steps below:
1. Connect your Router to your broadband service as explained in section 5.1.
2. Ensure that each PC on your wireless network has an 802.11b/g wireless network adapter installed.
3. Ensure that appropriate drivers for your wireless adapter have been installed on each PC.
4. Make sure the wireless antenna is screwed on to the connector on the rear of the router and firmly locked into
place. Then, orient the antenna to appropriate position.
5. Connect the power supply cord to the power connector marked 12 VDC on the back of the Router. Plug the
other end of the power supply into an AC wall socket, and then power up the Router.
6. Check to see if the Router’s Power LED is solid green. This indicates that Router is powered on.
7. Check to see if the Router’s WAN Coax LED is solid green (or flashing amber). This means the Coax
connection is functioning properly.
8. Check to see if the Router’s Wireless LED is solid green. This means that the wireless interface is functioning
properly.
9. After you have logged on to your account and established an Internet connection, as explained later in this
document, check to see if the Router’s Internet LED is solid green. Solid green indicates that an Internet link
has been established.
Congratulations! You have completed the steps to connect wireless devices to your Router. Now proceed to section
6 to access your Router’s Web pages.

8. CONFIGURING YOUR DEVICE FOR DHCP
In order to communicate with your Router, devices on your LAN (such as PCs, laptops and other networking
equipment using wired or wireless connection) must have an IP address. Your Router’s built-in DHCP server can
issue IP addresses to devices on your LAN; however, your device must first be configured to automatically receive an
IP address from your Router. Typically, networking devices are shipped from the manufacturer already configured
for automatic DHCP, but in instances where you need to configure automatic DHCP, the following sections help
explain this setup. If needed, please check your device’s user manual for details on configuring your device.

Wireless Settings
Wireless (ON/OFF) By default, the wireless feature is enabled. To completely turn off the wireless networking
feature and the Router’s internal wireless radio, select OFF.
Change SSID The SSID is the name of your wireless network. This string is case-sensitive and must be
30 characters or less. To connect to the Router, the SSID on a computer’s wireless card
must be identical the SSID on the Router. The Router comes pre-configured with the SSID;
however, you can change the SSID to any name or code you want.
Channel This is the channel of the frequency band at which the Router communicates.
The Router transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose
from is pre-programmed into the Router. A computer’s wireless card does not have to be
set to the same channel as the Router; the wireless card can scan all channels and look for a
Router to connect to. (In the United States, use channels 1 through 11).
For better performance, select a channel that is not being used or being used the least by
other wireless devices such as cordless phones or other Routers in the area. If "Automatic"
is selected, the Router will determine the optimal channel to use.
WEP Security Factory Default = WEP
WEP security encrypts the Router's wireless traffic and prevents unauthorized access to the
Router's network. If "Advanced" is selected, it means that current wireless security setting
is configured using advanced options (See 'Advanced Security Settings' for additional
security options.) Selecting "NO SECURITY" will disable wireless security and is not
recommended.
WEP Key Length A WEP encryption key is used to protect your wireless transmissions. These keys are of
varying lengths. The key can include the numbers 0-9 and letters a,b,c,d,e, and f. The

Wireless Access Point The Router also functions as a wireless access point for wireless devices.
Enable Wireless By default, the wireless feature is enabled. To disable this feature, clear the check box.
SSID The SSID is the name of your wireless network. This string is case-sensitive and must be
30 characters or less. To connect to the Router, the SSID on a computer’s wireless card
must be identical the SSID on the Router. The Router comes pre-configured with the SSID;
however, you can change the SSID to any name or code you want.
SSID Broadcast Select this check box to enable SSID (a check mark will appear in the box).
When this box is cleared, the Router will not broadcast its SSID.
When SSID Broadcast is enabled, any computer or wireless device using the SSID of
“ANY” can see the Router. To prevent this from happening, click the Disable option
button. This will disable SSID Broadcast so that only the wireless devices that are
configured with your SSID can access your Router.
802.11 Mode Allows you to limit access to your Router based on technology type.
11b only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11b
11g only: Communication with the Router is limited to 802.11g
802.11 b/g Mixed: Computers using 802.11b or 802.11g rates can communicate with the
Router.
Channel This is the channel of the frequency band at which the Router communicates.
The Router transmits and receives data on this channel. The number of channels to choose
from is pre-programmed into the Router. A computer’s wireless card does not have to be
set to the same channel as the Router; the wireless card can scan all channels and look for a
Router to connect to. (In the United States, use channels 1 through 11).
Network Authentication Open System Authentication: If Open System authentication is selected, this will allow any
station to associate with the wireless network, but only stations with a valid WEP key can
send or receive data from the Router.
Shared Key Authentication: If Shared Key Authentication is selected, a station must
authenticate with the Router (using the WEP key) before it can connect to the Router’s
wireless network.
Both: If “Both” is selected, the Router will allow both Open System and Shared Key
Authentication to be used.
