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 in a residential installation. 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. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular
installation. 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.
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.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement:
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be

ABOUT THIS GUIDE
Congratulations on your purchase of this IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband
Router. This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with
wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch. It provides a complete solution for Internet
surfing and office resource sharing, and it is easy to configure and operate for every
user.
Purpose
This manual discusses how to install the IEEE 802.11b/g/n Wireless Broadband
Router.
Terms/Usage
In this guide, the term “the WLAN Router” refers to your IEEE 802.11b/g/n
Wireless Broadband Router.
Overview of this User’s Guide

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.

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.

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.
