1. DSL Line
Connect your ADSL line to this port.
2. LAN Ports
The Ethernet ports are RJ45, 10/100 auto-negotiation. The ports are labelled 1
through 4. These ports correspond to the numbered LEDs on the front of the
Router.Connectyournetwork-enabledcomputersoranynetworkingdevices
to one of these ports.
3. Security Selection Switch

4. Power
Connect the included power cord to this inlet.
The “Reset” button is located on the bottom of the modem router and should
be used in rare cases when the Router may function improperly. Resetting
the Router will restore the Router’s normal operation while maintaining the
programmed settings.
You can also restore the factory default settings by using the Reset button.
Usetherestoreoptionininstanceswhereyoumayhaveforgottenyour

a. Resetting the Router - Push and hold the Reset button for one second then
release it. When the Power LED becomes solid again, the reset is complete.
b. Restoring to Factory Defaults - Press and hold the Reset button for 10
seconds then release it. When the Power LED becomes solid again, the restore
is complete.
Router Label
The label on the back of the modem router shows the router’s MAC address
(SSID),serialnumber,securityPIN,andfactorydefaultlogininformation.
Positioning your Router
Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your
Router.Typicalindooroperatingrangeforyourwirelessdevicesisbetween
30m and 60m. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance
will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected
devicesincreases.Thismayormaynotbenoticeabletoyou.Asyoumove
farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can
weakensignalssimplybygettinginthewayofyournetwork’sradiowaves
aremetalappliances,orobstructions,andwalls.Ifyouhaveconcernsabout
your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction
factors,trymovingthecomputertoapositionbetween1.5mand3.0mfrom
the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem.

may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and Router. Note: Do
not connect the ADSL microlter between the wall jack and the Router—this
willpreventADSLservicefromreachingthemodem.
•IfyourtelephoneserviceandADSLserviceareonthesametelephone

splittertothetelephonewalljackprovidingADSLservice.Then,connectthe
telephone cord from the ADSL microlter RJ11 port generally labelled “DSL”
to the gray RJ11 port labelled “DSL line” on the back of your Router. Connect
thetelephonydevicetotheotherportontheADSLsplittercommonly
labelled “Phone”.
•Note:AnRJ11telephonecordissupplied.WheninsertinganRJ11plug,be
sure the tab on the plug clicks into position correctly.
•IfyouhaveadedicatedADSLservicetelephonelinewithanRJ11walljack,
simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the DSL port on the

•Afterconnectingthepowercordandthepowersourceisturnedon,the
Router’s power icon on the front panel should be on. It might take a few
minutes for the Router to fully start up.
•Turnonyourcomputer.Afteryourcomputerbootsup,theLANstatusLED
on the front of the Router will be on for each port to which a wired computer
isconnected.Theselightsshowyoutheconnectionandactivitystatus.Now
you are ready to congure the Router for ADSL connection.
In order for your computer to properly communicate with your Router, you
willneedtochangeyourcomputer’s“TCP/IPEthernet”settingsto“Obtain
an IP address automatically/Using DHCP”. This is normally the default setting
in most home computers. Consult your operating system’s Help les for
informationonchangingthissetting,ifrequired.

Accessing the User Interface 4
1. You can access the web-based management user interface of the Router
using the Internet browser on a computer connected to the Router. Type
“http://192.168.11.1” in your browser’s address bar. Then press the “Enter” key.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you use a computer physically
connected to the Router with an RJ45 cable for initial setup. Using a wirelessly
connected computer for initial setup is not recommended.
2. The following screen will appear in your browser to prompt you to log in.
The default User Name is “Root” and the default Password is blank. Click on
the“OK”buttontologin.
Note: It is strongly recommended that you set a password for increased
security.

is similar to PPPoE, but is mostly implemented in the UK.
Setting your Connection Type to RFC 1483 Bridged/Routed
This connection method bridges your network and your ISP’s network
together. The Router will obtain an IP address automatically from your ISP’s
DHCPserver.
SettingyourConnectionTypetoBridgeModeOnly(DisableInternetSharing)
In this mode, the Router simply acts as a bridge passing packets across the

ForinformationonconguringaconnectionwithWPSorAOSS,pleaserefer
to the earlier sections of the manual which describe how to use these meth-
ods to establish a wireless connection.
Basic
The “Basic” tab lets you make changes to the wireless network settings - wire-
lessnetworkname(SSID),radio,operatingchannelandsecuritylevel.
Wireless Radio
Select Disable to turn o wireless networking, or select the type of wireless
networkyouaresettingup:Mixed(with11b,11gandDraft11nclients),
BG-Mixed(withonly11band11gclients),orsolely11b,11gorDraft11n
clients. Using the correct setting here ensures that the network will work as
eciently as possible.
Wireless Channel
Your Router is congured to operate on the proper channels for the country
you reside in. If there are other wireless networks operating in your area,
your network should be set to operate on a channel that is dierent than the
other wireless networks. For best performance, use a channel that is at least
vechannelsawayfromtheotherwirelessnetworks.Forinstance,ifanother
network is operating on channel 11, then set your network to channel 6 or
below.

Broadcast SSID
For security purposes, you can choose not to broadcast your network’s SSID

computers that are scanning for the presence of wireless networks. To turn o
thebroadcastoftheSSID,removethetick.
Security/Encryption
The WBMR-HP-GN modem router includes a security feature which allows
eachwirelessclienttoconnectwithadierentlevelofsecurity.Thisfunction
is particularly useful in a situation where a single client can only connect
viaWEP(lowestlevelofsecurity).Becauseclientscanconnectatdierent
encryptionlevels,itmeansthatthesecurityoftheremainingwirelessdevices
is not compromised.

MAC Filter
The MAC Filter is a powerful security feature that allows you to specify which
computers are allowed on the network. Wireless connections to the AirStation
can be limited to specic client MAC addresses to enhance security against
unwantednetworkvisitors.Whenenabled,onlywirelessclientadapterswith
registered MAC addresses will be allowed to connect to the AirStation.

Block Ping from Internet
An“anonymousInternetrequest”isanattemptto“ping”yourbroadband
gateway’s WAN interface. Pinging is a way of checking if a system is running
at a particular IP address. It can also be used to hunt for certain kinds of
vulnerabilitiesinthesystem.BlockingWANrequestsmeansnotresponding
to pings coming from the Internet. This is the default setting.

If the packet meets one of the monitoring conditions before it is routed, the

action will be performed once the packet meets the condition.
