ii Federal Communication Commission Interference Statement 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 when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. 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. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense. If this equipment does cause harmful 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 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. FCC Caution: Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. For operation within 5.15 ~ 5.25GHz frequency range, it is restricted to indoor environment. 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, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

2 INTRODUCTION With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night has become a standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers. This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer, while providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires. Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one public IP address over a single Internet connection to link the home with the Internet. The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can solve high network access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device. This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and configured right out of the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings. The local area network connects home computers while also allowing any of the computers to access the Internet, share resources, or play online games—the basis of the family computing lifestyle. Applications: Broadband Internet access: Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection through wireless or wired (WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet). Resource sharing: Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals. File sharing: Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space. Online gaming: Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily setup. Firewall: A built-in firewall function — for security and anti-hacking systems.

4 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the IEEE 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port. Unpacking Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:  300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port  CD ROM (Utility/User’s Guide)  Multi-Language Quick Installation Guide  2 x 2dBi gain dipole antenna  Power Adapter (12V DC, 2A)  Cat. 5 Ethernet Cable (1.5m/5ft) If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement. Setup The setup of the WLAN Router can be performed properly using the following methods:  The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.  Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.  Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation and adequate ventilation around the Broadband Router. Do not place heavy objects on the Broadband Router.  Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network. Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the receiving sensitivity.
5 HARDWARE INSTALLATION Front Panel The figure below shows the front panel of the 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port. Front Panel POWER: This indicator lights green when the hub is receives power, otherwise it is off. Top Panel The figure below shows the top panel of the 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port. Top Panel LCD Screen: The LED screen displays information regarding the router.
6 Rear Panel The figure below shows the rear panel of the 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port. Rear Panel Antenna: There are two 2dBi gain antennas on the rear panel for wireless connection. LAN (1-4): Four 10/100/1000Mbps Auto-MDIX LAN port for connecting 10Mbps, 100Mbps Ethernet or 10000Mbps Gigabit connections. WAN: One 10/100/1000Mbps WAN port that connects to the xDSL/Cable modem for Internet connectivity. USB: Two USB ports to share either USB storage devices or printers over the network. POWER: Plug the power adapter to this power jack RESET: Use a pin-shaped item to push to reset this device to factory default settings. It will be a useful tool when the manager forgot the password to login, and needs to restore the device back to default settings.
7 Side Panel The figure below shows the side panel of the 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port. WPS (side panel): Push this button to execute the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process.
8 Hardware connections Connecting the WLAN Router X 1. Plug in one end of the network cable to the WAN port of the WLAN Router. 2. Plug in the other end of the network cable to the Ethernet port of the xDSL or Cable modem. 3. Use another network cable to connect to the Ethernet card on the computer system; the other end of the cable connects to the LAN port of the WLAN Router. Since the IEEE 300Mbps Wireless N Dual Band Gigabit Router with USB Port has four ports, you can connect up to four computers directly to the unit. Then you do not have to buy a switch to connect these computers since one WLAN Router functions both as a connection-sharing unit and as a switch.
