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.
3 Supported Features:  High speed data transfer rate  NAT for sharing 1 IP address to all LAN/WLAN users.  PPPoE and PPTP protocol for Dial-Up ADSL.  64/128 bit WEP Encryption  WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK, WPA, WPA2 security  DHCP Server / Client.  UPnP (Universal Plug and Play).  WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)  Virtual Server mapping.  MAC filtering.  Protocol/IP filtering  Domain/URL filtering  DDNS  Upgradeable firmware for future function.  Simple installation using Setup Wizard.  Easy configuration via Web Browser.
4 UNPACKING AND SETUP This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband Router. Unpacking Open the box of the WLAN Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:  One IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband Router  One CD contain User’s Guide  Two 2dBi gain dipole antenna  One external power adapter 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 POWER This indicator lights green when the hub is receives power, otherwise it is off. WAN (Link/ACT) The indicators light green when the WAN port is connected to a xDSL/Cable modem successfully. The indicators blink green while the WAN port was transmitting or receiving data from the xDSL/Cable modem. WLAN (ACT) This indicator lights green when there are wireless devices connected and transmitting data to the WLAN Router. LAN (Link/ACT) These indicators light green when the LAN ports were connected successfully. These indicators blinking green while the LAN ports were accessing data.
6 Rear Panel Antenna There is one 2dBi gain antennas on the rear panel for wireless connection. LAN (1-4) Four RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX ports for connecting to either 10Mbps or 100Mbps Ethernet connections. WAN In the four port broadband Router, there is an RJ-45 10/100Mbps Auto-MDIX port for the WAN that connects to the xDSL/Cable modem for Internet connectivity. 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. Side Panel The figure below shows the side panel of the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband Router. Side Panel WPS Push this button to execute the Wi-Fi Protected Setup process. Horizontal putting (with rubber feet) It is possible to set up on the desk etc. by installing the rubber feet in the rubber foot putting position of the bottom of the main body. - The screw and the wall hanging (With the screw set for the wall hanging) It is possible to set up on the wall by using the screw set for the wall hanging
7 * When you set it up in the vertical such as walls, please set it up so that network port may become bottom. - The magnet and the wall hanging (With the magnet) By using the magnet set, it is possible to be installed to furniture made of steel. By using with rubber feet, magnetism becomes stronger.
8 HARDWARE CONNECTIONS Connecting the WLAN Router 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 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband Router 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. Check the installation The control LEDs of the WLAN Router are clearly visible and the status of the network link can be seen instantly: 1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the broadband modem, the Power, System, LAN, WLAN and WAN port LEDs of the WLAN Router will light up indicating a normal status. 2. When the WAN Port is connected to the ADSL/Cable modem, the WAN LED will light up. 3. When the LAN Port is connected to the computer system, the LAN LED will light up.
