If the LED is not on, check the cable for the LAN connection is firmly connected. Check whether the computer resides on the same subnet with the router’s LAN IP address. If the computer act as a DHCP client, check whether the computer has been assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. If not, you will need to renew the IP address. Use the ping command to ping the router’s LAN IP address to verify the connection. Make sure your browser is not configured to use a proxy server. Check that the IP address you entered is correct. If the router’s LAN IP address has been changed, you should enter the reassigned IP address instead. I can browse the router’s Web-based Configuration Utility but cannot access the Internet. • • • Check the WAN LED is ON. If not, check the physical connection between the router and the DSL/Cable modem is firmly connected. Also ensure the DSL/Cable modem is working properly. If WAN LED is ON, open the System Overview page of the Web configuration utility and check the status group to see if the router’s WAN port has successfully obtained an IP address. Make sure you are use the correction method (DHCP client, PPPoE client or Manual Config) as required by the ISP. Also ensure you have entered correct settings provided by the ISP. 47 Wireless Broadband Router User Manual • For cable users, if you ISP required a fixed Ethernet card MAC address, make sure you have cloned the network adapter’s MAC address to the WAN port of the router. (See the MAC Address field in WAN page.) My wireless client cannot communicate with another Ethernet computer. • • • • • 48 Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly. You may open the Device Manager in Windows to see if the adapter is proper installed. Make sure the wireless client uses the same SSID and security settings (if enabled) as the Wireless Broadband Router. Ensure that the wireless adapter’s TCP/IP settings are correct as required by your network administrator. If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, check that the 54g Mode item, in Wireless LAN (2.4G) page, is not configured to use 54g Performace. Use the ping command to verify the wireless client’s communication with the router’s LAN port and with the remote computer. If the wireless client can successfully ping the router’s LAN port but fails to ping the opposite computer, then verify the TCP/IP settings of the opposite computer. 6 Specification 6.1 Hardware • • • • • • • • Broadcom BCM4712 CPU 8MB SDRAM 2MB Flash Memory 802.11g: Broadcom (BCM2050) Two external antennas Modulation Techniques: DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, 16QAM, 64QAM Modulation Technology: OFDM, DSSS Wireless Data Rate: 802.11b: 11, 5.5, 2, 1Mbps 802.11g: 54, 48, 36, 24, 18, 12, 9, 6Mbps • • RF Operating Frequencies: 2.4-2.4835GHz RF Operating Channels: 802.11b: 11 for North America, 13 for Europe (ETSI), 14 for Japan 802.11g: 11 for North America, 13 for Europe (ETSI), 13 for Japan • • RF Output Power: 13.5+-2dBm RF Receiver sensitivity (PET<10%): -80dBm @ 6Mbps Interface • • One 10/100 Base-TX RJ-45 WAN port for Broadband connection (Cable/DSL or direct Ethernet) and support HP Auto-MDIX Four RJ-45 LAN ports for 10/100Base-TX Ethernet Switch support HP Auto-MDIX 49 Wireless Broadband Router User Manual Physical • • • • Front Panel: 8 LEDs ( Power x 1, CONNECTx1, LAN x 4, WAN x 1, Wireless x 1) Back Panel: Reset Button, Power Jack, RJ-45 LAN Port x 4, RJ-45 WAN Port x 1 Dimensions: TBD Case types: Support Lay down only Power Adapter and Environmental Requirement • • • DC Adaptor: Input AC100~120VAC Output 5V DC, 2A Temperature: 0 to 40°C (operation), -20 to 70 °C (storage) Relative Humidity: 5% to 90% (non-condensing) Electromagnetic Compliance • • 50 FCC Part 15 Class B CE
