Installation
This section will walk you through installing the router. Placement of the router is very important. Be sure not to place it in an enclosed space like a cabinet, closet, attic,
garage or any other area where there is not ample ventilation.
Before you Begin
• You can only use the Ethernet port on your modem. If you were using a USB connection before using the router then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the
USB cable and connect an Ethernet cable to the WAN port on the router and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to contact your ISP to
change connection types (USB to Ethernet)
• If you have DSL and are connecting via PPPoE, make sure you disable or uninstall any PPPoE software such as WinPoet, Broadjump, or Enternet 300 from your
computer or you will not be able to connect to the Internet.
13
Wireless Installation Considerations
The RocketFish RF-HTN104 wireless router allows you to access your network via a wireless connection from anywhere within its operating range. However, keep in mind
that there are factors that affect the signal strength and range of your connection. The number of objects the signal must pass through together with the number of radio
frequencies in the area will have an effect on the range. Remember these tips to maximize the wireless range of your network:
1. Keep the number of walls or ceilings that the signal must pass through to a minimum. Each wall or ceiling that the signal must pass through will have an adverse
affect on the range of your network.
2. Be aware of the direct line between the devices. A wall that is at an angle will mean that signal needs to pass through a greater surface area than the normal
thickness of the wall.
3. Building materials make a difference. Try to position access points, routers and computers so that the signal passes through open doorways or through drywall.
Materials such as glass, metal, steel, walls with insulation, bodies of water such as fish tanks, mirrors, file cabinets, brick and concrete will degrade your wireless
signal.
4. Keep your wireless router at least 3-6 feet (1-2 meters) away from other devices which generate radio frequencies.
5. If you choose to operate the wireless router on the 2.4GHz spectrum, be aware that this is more commonly used than the 5GHz spectrum and is therefore
susceptible to interference from devices such as microwaves and cordless phones. Try to keep the base station of your cordless phone as far away as possible from
the wireless router as the base station will transmit a signal even if the phone is not in use.
14
Connecting the RF-HTN104 to a Cable/DSL/Satellite Modem
If you are connecting the router to a cable/DSL/satellite modem, please follow the steps below:
1. Place the router in an open and central location. Do not plug the power adapter into the router.
2. Unplug the modem’s power adapter. Shut down your computer.
3. Unplug the Ethernet cable (that connects your computer to your modem) from your computer and place it into the Internet port on the router.
4. Plug an Ethernet cable into one of the four LAN ports on the router. Plug the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.
5. Plug in your modem. Wait for the modem to boot (about 30 seconds).
6. Plug the power adapter to the router and connect to an outlet or power strip.
7. Use the power switch to power on the router. Wait about 30 seconds for the router to boot.

Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) and Wi-Fi Protected Access 2 (WPA2) are
encryption methods developed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Both of these methods
encrypt packets using a 256-bit key.
Configuring Wi-Fi 2.4GHz Settings
To configure the 2.4GHz wireless feature on your router:
1. Enter up to 32 characters into the SSID field. The SSID is case sensitive.
By default this is set to the model number of your router (RF-HTN104).
2. Choose an authentication method. You can choose between None, WPA, WPA2 or WPA/WPA2. For the best combination of security and flexibility, choose
WPA/WPA2. This will mean that devices that support only one of the methods will still be able to connect. It is strongly recommended that you do not choose None
as anybody will be able to join your private network.
3. Select an encryption Cipher (AES or AES/TKIP).
4. Enter a Passphrase / Pre-Shared Key (PSK). This must be at least 8 characters in length. Be sure to select a secure passphrase so that your network will not be
accessible by intruders.

Configuring Advanced Wi-Fi 2.4GHz Settings
To adjust the advanced settings of the 2.4GHz Wi-Fi function, login to the router and click on the icon, then select Performance-2.4GHz from the menu on the left.
Note: It is only recommended that you change these settings if you are experienced and familiar with what each of these settings does.
Channel: Select a channel from the drop down menu. For best
performance, choose a channel which is not in use by other wireless
devices in your area.
Wi-Fi Mode: Select a mode from the drop down menu. This will affect
the wireless connection speed of your devices. Some older devices may
not work if you choose to work in 11n alone.
Enable WMM: Wi-Fi Multimedia (WMM) is Quality of Service (QoS) for
your router. Check this box to improve the quality of video and voice
applications for your wireless clients. This cannot be selected for modes
where 11n is operational.
Bandwidth: Select the frequency which you want to operate on by
checking the radio box for 20MHz or 20/40MHz.
Guard Interval: The guard interval is the space between symbols being
transmitted. It is often confused with the space between packets.
Normal 802.11 operation is 800ns but with 802.11n, you may halve the
time to wait to 400ns which can increase throughput.
Tx Rate: Only modifiable if 11n Wi-Fi Mode is selected. This allows you
to specify the maximum transmission rate for the wireless network.
Tx Power: Sets the transmission power. Modifying this can help you to
achieve more range on your network.

Beacon Interval: This represents the amount of time between beacon transmissions. Before a station enters power-save mode, the station needs the beacon interval to
know when to wake up to receive the beacon (and learn whether there are buffered frames at the access point).Enter a value in the field between 1 and 65,535. If you
enter an invalid value, the router will return an error.
Fragmentation Threshold: The 802.11 standard includes the ability for radio-based network interface cards (NICs) and access points to fragment packets for improving
performance in the presence of RF interference and marginal coverage areas. The fragment size value can typically be set between 256 and 2,346 bytes. Setting it at or
above 2,346 bytes effectively disables fragmentation.
RTS Threshold: Request To Send (RTS) is an optional feature which can reduce collisions on your network. Set a packet size between 0 and 2346. If the packet that the
access point is transmitting is larger than the threshold, it will initiate the RTS function. If the packet size is equal to or less than the threshold, the access point will not kick
off RTS. The use of 2346 bytes effectively disables RTS for the access point.
DTIM: This setting determines how often the Access Point's Beacon contains a Delivery Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). The DTIM tells client devices in power-save mode
that a packet is waiting for them. The default setting causes client devices using power-save mode to wake up. To conserve battery power in client devices using power-
save mode, increase the Data Beacon Rate (DTIM) setting. However, setting the DTIM too high may cause a wireless client to lose its network connection.
The DTIM is a multiple of the Beacon. So if the DTIM was set to 3, a DTIM message would be sent with every third Beacon.

other devices that support WPS within range.
2. Go to your wireless client and hold down the CONNECT button on the
front of your wireless client device for approximately 3 seconds. Your
client should find the signal of the router and they should connect within
2 minutes.
To add a new device using the PIN Code method:
1. Acquire the PIN number for your wireless client device. On the RocketFish
Wi-Fi Invite Home Hub, the PIN number is printed on the bottom of the
device.
2. On the RocketFish router, enter the PIN into the field labeled PIN Code
and click Connect. On the Wi-Fi Invite Hub, press the CONNECT button on
the front panel to confirm the connection. On other brands of hub, start
the WPS tool and confirm theconnection with the CONNECT button.The
two devices will connect within 2 minutes.

Troubleshooting
This section provides solutions to problems that can occur during the installation and operation of the RF-HTN104. Read the following descriptions if you are having
problems. The following is written assuming you are using Windows XP. For other operating systems or versions of Windows, the steps provided may differ.
1. Why can’t I access the web-based configuration utility?
When entering the IP address of the RocketFish router (192.168.1.1 for example), you are not connecting to a website hosted on the Internet. The router has the utility
built-in to a ROM chip in the device itself. Your computer must be on the same IP subnet to connect to the web-based utility.
• Check that your PC is set to Obtain an IP address automatically.
- Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Select Network Connections. Select the connection profile which is connected to the router, most likely labeled
Local Area Connection.
- Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. Select the radio button Obtain an IP address automatically and Obtain DNS server address
automatically. Click OK twice.
- Try to connect to the web-based configuration utility again.
• If you have manually specified an IP address to use, you will need to make sure your IP address is in the 192.168.1.XX range and subnet is 255.255.255.0 in order to
connect to the router.
- Click Start > Settings > Control Panel. Select Network Connections. Select the connection profile which is connected to the router, most likely labeled
Local Area Connection.
- Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click Properties. Select the radio button Use the following IP address and give the connection a local IP address
which is not in use already e.g. 192.168.1.111. Set the Subnet Mask to 255.255.255.0. Click OK twice.
- Try to connect to the web-based configuration utility again.
• Make sure you have an updated Java-enabled web browser. We recommend the following:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer® 6.0 and higher
- Mozilla Firefox 3.0 and higher
- Google™ Chrome 2.0 and higher
69
- Apple Safari 3.0 and higher
• Verify physical connectivity on the device. Try using a different cable or connect to a different port on the device if possible.
• Disable any Internet security software running on the computer. Software firewalls such as Zone Alarm, Black Ice, Sygate, Norton Personal Firewall, and Windows® XP
firewall may block access to the configuration pages. Check the help files included with your firewall software for more information on disabling or configuring it.
• Configure your Internet settings:
- Go to Start > Settings > Control Panel. Select the Internet Options Icon. From the Security tab, click the button to restore the settings to their defaults.
- Click the Connection tab and set the dial-up option to Never Dial a Connection. Click the LAN Settings button. Make sure nothing is checked. Click OK.
- Go to the Advanced tab and click the button to restore these settings to their defaults. Click OK three times.
- Close your web browser (if open) and open it.
- Access the web management. Open your web browser and enter the IP address of your RocketFish router in the address bar. This should open the login
page for your web management.
- If you still cannot access the configuration, unplug the power to the router for 10 seconds and plug back in. Wait about 30 seconds and try accessing the
configuration. If you have multiple computers, try connecting using a different computer.
2. What can I do if I forgot my password?
If you forgot your password, you must reset your router. Unfortunately this process will change all your settings back to the factory defaults.
To reset the router, locate the reset button on the rear panel of the unit. With the router powered on, use a pen to hold the button down for 10 seconds. Release the
button and the router will go through its reboot process. Wait about 30 seconds to access the router. The default IP address is 192.168.1.1. When logging in, the username
is admin and leave the password box empty.
70
3. Why can’t I connect to certain sites or send and receive emails when connecting through my router?
If you are having a problem sending or receiving email, or connecting to secure sites such as eBay, banking sites, and Hotmail, we suggest lowering the MTU in increments
of ten (Ex. 1492, 1482, 1472, etc).
Note: AOL DSL+ users must use MTU of 1400.
To find the proper MTU Size, you’ll have to do a special ping of the destination you’re trying to go to. A destination could be another computer, or a URL.
• Click on Start and then click Run.
• Windows® 95, 98, and Me users type in command (Windows® NT, 2000, XP and 7 users type in cmd) and press Enter (or click OK).
• Once the window opens, you’ll need to do a special ping. Use the following syntax:
ping [url] [-f] [-l] [MTU value]
Example: ping yahoo.com -f -l 1472
You should start at 1472 and work your way down by 10 each time. Once you get a reply, go up by 2 until you get a fragmented packet. Take that value and add 28 to the
value to account for the various TCP/IP headers. For example, lets say that 1452 was the proper value, the actual MTU size would be 1480, which is the optimum for the
network we’re working with (1452+28=1480).
Once you find your MTU, you can now configure your router with the proper MTU size.

Antenna statement
Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by
Industry Canada.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not
more than that necessary for successful communication.
Conformément à la réglementation d'Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionner avec une antenne d'un type et d'un gain maximal (ou inférieur)
approuvé pour l'émetteur par Industrie Canada.
Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l'intention des autres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d'antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance
isotrope rayonnée équivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépasse pas l'intensité nécessaire à l'établissement d'une communication satisfaisante.
