3QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
This chapter shows you how to quickly configure the basic functions of your
Router using the Quick Setup Wizard.
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.2.1. And the default
Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you
desire. In this guide, all the default values are used for descriptions.
Connect local PCs to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can
configure the IP address for your PC in the following two ways.
CONFIGURE THE IP ADDRESS MANUALLY
1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions on how
to do this, refer to Appendix B: “Configuring the PC” on page 118.
2. Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.2.xxx
(“xxx” is any number from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0,
and Gateway is 192.168.2.1 (the Router's default IP address).
OBTAIN AN IP ADDRESS AUTOMATICALLY
1. Set the TCP/IP Protocol to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode
on your PC. If you need instructions as to how to do this, refer to
Appendix B: “Configuring the PC” on page 118.
2. Then the built-in DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now you can run the Ping command at the command prompt to verify the
network connection between your PC and the Router. The following
example is for Windows 2000.
Open a command prompt and type “ping 192.168.2.1”, and then press
Enter.
If the result displayed is similar to the Figure 4 on page 25, it means a
connection between your PC and the Router has been established.

Follow these steps to check the connection:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
The LAN port LED on the Router and the LED on your PC's adapter
should be on.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
If the Router's IP address is 192.168.2.1, your PC's IP address must be
within the range of 192.168.2.2 ~ 192.168.2.254.
QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
Using the Web-based utility, it is easy to configure and manage the Router.
The Web-based utility can be used on any Windows, Macintosh, or UNIX
system with a Web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer, Mozilla
Firefox, or Apple Safari.
1. To access the configuration utility, open a web-browser and type in the
default address http://192.168.2.1 in the address field of the browser.

◆Transmit Power - Here you can specify the transmit power of the
Router. You can select High, Middle, or Low. High is the default setting
and is recommended.
◆Beacon Interval - Enter a value between 20-1000 milliseconds for the
Beacon Interval. The beacons are packets sent by the router to
synchronize a wireless network. The Beacon Interval value determines
the time interval of beacons. The default value is 100.
◆RTS Threshold - Specifies the RTS (Request to Send) Threshold. If a
packet is larger than the specified RTS Threshold size, the router will
send RTS frames to a particular receiving station and negotiate the
sending of a data frame. The default value is 2346.
◆Fragmentation Threshold - This value determines the maximum size
before packets are fragmented. Setting the Fragmentation Threshold
too low may result in poor network performance since excessive
packets may be sent. The default setting is 2346 and is recommended.
◆DTIM Interval - This value determines the interval of the Delivery
Traffic Indication Message (DTIM). A DTIM field is a countdown field
informing clients of the next window for listening to broadcast and
multicast messages. When the Router has buffered broadcast or
multicast messages for associated clients, it sends the next DTIM with a
DTIM Interval value. You can specify the value between 1-255 Beacon
Intervals. The default value is 1, which indicates the DTIM Interval is
the same as Beacon Interval.
◆Enable WMM - The WMM function guarantees that packets with high-
priority messages are transmitted before other packets. It is strongly
recommended to enable this feature.
◆Enable Short GI - This function is recommended, since it increases
the data capacity by reducing the guard interval time.
◆Enabled AP Isolation - This function can isolate wireless stations on
your network from each other. Wireless devices will be able to
communicate with the Router, but not with each other. To use this
function, check this box. AP Isolation is disabled by default.
