Internet, because their IP address will vary every time when connected to
Internet, and other user will not be able to know the IP address they’re
using at a certain time.
This router supports DDNS service of following service providers:
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org)

2-6 Wired LAN Configuration
Before all computers using wired Ethernet connection (i.e. those
computers connect to this router’s LAN port 1 to 4 by Ethernet cable) can
communicate with each other and access internet, they must have a valid
IP address.
There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address
(set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address
(IP address of computers will be assigned by router automatically. It’s
recommended for most of computers to use dynamic IP address, it will
save a lot of time on setting IP addresses for every computer, especially
when there are a lot of computers in your network; for servers and
network devices which will provide services to other computer and users
that come from Internet, static IP address should be used, so other
computes can locate the server.
Suggestions on IP address numbering plan:
If you have no idea on how to define an IP address plan for your
network, here are some suggestions.
1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d, for most of home and
company users, it’s suggested to use 192.168.c.d, where c is
an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1
and 254. This router is capable to work with up to 253 clients,
so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of router as 1 or 254 (or
any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0
and 254 for field ‘c’.
2. In most cases, you should use ‘255.255.255.0’ as subnet mask,
which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets router’s
capability of working with up to 253 clients).
3. For all servers and network devices which will provide
services to other people (like Internet service, print service,
and file service), they should use static IP address. Give each
of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a
list, so everyone can locate those servers easily.
4. For computers which are not dedicated to provide specific
service to others, they should use dynamic IP address.
If you don’t really understand the descriptions listed above, don’t
worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.
Please follow the following instructions to set wired LAN parameters:
Please click ‘LAN’ menu on the left of web management interface, there
are three setup groups here: ‘LAN IP’, ‘DHCP Server’, and ‘Static DHCP

Key Format (3): There are two types of key format: ASCII and Hex.
When you select a key format, the number of
characters of key will be displayed. For example, if
you select ’64-bit’ as key length, and ‘Hex’ as key
format, you’ll see the message at the right of ‘Key
Format’ is ‘Hex (10 characters), which means the
length of WEP key is 10 characters.
Default Tx Key (4): You can set up to four sets of WEP key, and you can
decide which key is being used by default here. If
you don’t know which one you should use, select
‘Key 1’.
Encryption Key Input WEP key characters here, the number of
1 to 4 (5-8): characters must be the same as the number
displayed at ‘Key Format’ field. You can use any
alphanumerical characters (0-9, a-z, and A-Z) if
you select ‘ASCII’ key format, and if you select
‘Hex’ as key format, you can use characters 0-9, a-f,
and A-F. You must enter at least one encryption key
here, and if you entered multiple WEP keys, they
should not be same with each other.

ASCII (13 characters): digitalFAMILY 82Jh26xHy3m&n
Hex (10 characters): 287d2aa732 1152dabc85
Hex (26 characters): 9284bcda8427c9e036f7abcd84
To improve security level, do not use those words which can be found
in a dictionary or too easy to remember! (‘pilot’ and ‘phone’ listed
above are bad examples; just intended to show you how a WEP key
look like). Wireless clients will remember the WEP key, so you only
have to input the WEP key on wireless client once, and it’s worth to
use complicated WEP key to improve security level.

2-7-6 Security Tips for Wireless Network
Here are some quick tips to help you improve the security level of your
wireless network:
1. Do not use 100% radio output power unless it’s necessary; higher
output power means border wireless coverage, but if you’re not using
this wireless router in a really big space, you’ll let your neighbors
have the chance to do something bad to your network. If the wireless
router is not far away from your computer, try to start from 10% Tx
Power setting in ‘Advance Settings’ menu, and only raise the Tx
Power setting when it’s required.
2. Never use simple words (like school, apple, computer) as WEP
encryption or WPA passphrase.
3. A complicated (the combination of number, alphabet, even symbol,
and long enough) WEP key and WPA passphrase is much safer than
simple and short ones. Remember that the wireless client is capable to
keep the key or passphrase for you, so you only have to input the
complicated key or passphrase once. It’s not too trouble but will
greatly improve security level.
4. You can hide the ESSID of this router by set ‘Broadcast ESSID’
option to ‘Disable’. Your wireless router will not be found by other
people in proximity if they’re just using the AP scanning function of
their wireless client, and this can reduce the chance of being intruded.
5. Use ‘Access Control’ function described in section 2-7-4, so those
people who are not in your list will not be able to connect to your
network.
Chapter III Advanced Functions
3-1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network
to share the internet bandwidth with a promised quality of internet service.
Without QoS, all computers and devices on the network will compete
with each other to get internet bandwidth, and some applications which
require guaranteed bandwidth (like video streaming and network
telephone) will be affected, therefore an unpleasing result will occur, like
the interruption of video / audio transfer.
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a
guaranteed bandwidth for a specific computer, to avoid said unpleasing
result from happening.
3-1-1 Basic QoS Settings

3-2 Network Address Trnaslation (NAT)
Network address translations solve the problem if sharing a single IP
address to multiple computers. Without NAT, all computers must be
assigned with a valid Internet IP address to get connected to Internet, but
Internet service providers only provide very few IP addresses to every
user. Therefore it’s necessary to use NAT technology to share a single
Internet IP address to multiple computers on local network, so everyone
can get connected to Internet.
Please follow the following instructions to set NAT parameters:

4-2 Troubleshooting
If you found the router is working improperly or stop responding to you,
don’t panic! Before you contact your dealer of purchase for help, please
read this troubleshooting first. Some problems can be solved by yourself
within very short time!
Scenario Solution
Router is not
responding to me
when I want to access
it by web browser
a. Please check the connection of power cord
and network cable of this router. All cords
and cables should be correctly and firmly
inserted to the router.
b. If all LEDs on this router are out, please
check the status of A/C power adapter, and
make sure it’s correctly powered.
c. You must use the same IP address section
which router uses.
d. Are you using MAC or IP address filter?
Try to connect the router by another
computer and see if it works; if not, please
perform a hard reset (pressing ‘reset’
button).
e. Set your computer to obtain an IP address
automatically (DHCP), and see if your
computer can get an IP address.
f. If you did a firmware upgrade and this
happens, contact your dealer of purchase for
help.
g. If all above solutions don’t work, contact
the dealer of purchase for help.
Can’t get connected to
Internet
a. Go to ‘Status’ -> ‘Internet Connection’
menu, and check Internet connection status.
b. Please be patient, sometime Internet is just
that slow.
c. If you connect a computer to Internet
directly before, try to do that again, and
check if you can get connected to Internet
with your computer directly attached to the
comm. device provided by your Internet
service provider.
d. Check PPPoE / L2TP / PPTP user ID and
password again.
e. Call your Internet service provide and check
if there’s something wrong with their
service.
f. If you just can’t connect to one or more
website, but you can still use other internet
services, please check URL/Keyword filter.
g. Try to reset the router and try again later.
h. Reset the comm. device provided by your
Internet service provider too.
i. Try to use IP address instead of hostname. If
you can use IP address to communicate with
a remote server, but can’t use hostname,
please check DNS setting.
I can’t locate my
router by my wireless
client
a. ‘Broadcast ESSID’ set to off?
b. All three antennas are properly installed and
secured?
c. Are you too far from your router? Try to get
closer.
d. Please remember that you have to input
ESSID on your wireless client manually, if
ESSID broadcast is disabled.
e. If antenna is not installed, install them now
and never remove them.
File download is very
slow or breaks
frequently
a. Are you using QoS function? Try to disable
it and try again.
b. Internet is slow sometimes, be patient.
c. Try to reset the router and see if it’s better
after that.
d. Try to know what computers do on your
local network. If someone’s transferring big
files, other people will think Internet is
really slow.
e. If this never happens before, call you
Internet service provider to know if there is
something wrong with their network.
I can’t log onto web
management interface:
password is wrong
a. Make sure you’re connecting to the correct
IP address of the router!
b. Password is case-sensitive. Make sure the
‘Caps Lock’ light is not illuminated.
c. If you really forget the password, do a hard
reset.
Router become hot a. This is not a malfunction, if you can keep
your hand on the router’s case.
b. If you smell something wrong or see the
smoke coming out from router or A/C
power adapter, please disconnect the router
and A/C power adapter from utility power
(make sure it’s safe before you’re doing
this!), and call your dealer of purchase for
help.
The date and time of
all event logs are
wrong
a. Adjust the internal clock of router.
4-3 Glossary
Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default
gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not
on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which
will then send it out towards the destination.
DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives
every computer on your home network an IP address.
DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows
Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandrouter.com) and one
or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of
Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a
domain name is requested (as in typing "Broadbandrouter.com" into your Internet
browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by
the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has
assigned to you.
DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your
existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds.
Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by
special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second
(Mbps).
Idle Timeout: Idle Timeout is designed so that after there is no traffic to the Internet
for a pre-configured amount of time, the connection will automatically be
disconnected.
IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP
address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a
single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.2.1. It
consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host identifier.
The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded
decimal numbers separated by “.”: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each “aaa” can be anything
from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by “.”:
bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each “b” can either be 0 or 1.
A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading
1’s followed by consecutive trailing 0’s, such as
11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can
also be described simply as “x” number of leading 1’s.
When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address
that correspond to 1’s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and
the remaining bits correspond to the host ID.
For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form,
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is,
11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000
It means the device’s network address is
11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is,
00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method
for routers to route IP packets to their destination.
ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP
address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office.
ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the
Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected
together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network
is considered a LAN.
MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the
hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique
identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes
of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus
3 bytes that are often used as the product’s serial number.
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your
home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband router’s NAT capability,
you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having
to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP.
Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network
application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and
protocol/port numbers:
Application Protocol Port Number
Telnet TCP 23
FTP TCP 21
SMTP TCP 25
POP3 TCP 110
H.323 TCP 1720
SNMP UCP 161
SNMP Trap UDP 162
HTTP TCP 80
PPTP TCP 1723
PC Anywhere TCP 5631
PC Anywhere UDP 5632
PPPoE: Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet. Point-to-Point Protocol is a secure
data transmission method originally created for dial-up connections; PPPoE is for
Ethernet connections. PPPoE relies on two widely accepted standards, Ethernet and
the Point-to-Point Protocol. It is a communications protocol for transmitting
information over Ethernet between different manufacturers
Protocol: A protocol is a set of rules for interaction agreed upon between multiple
parties so that when they interface with each other based on such a protocol, the
interpretation of their behavior is well defined and can be made objectively, without
confusion or misunderstanding.
Router: A router is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between
different networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses.
Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information
provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an
IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular
network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which
must be assigned by InterNIC).
TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data
transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP
performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the
other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a
network layer protocol.
WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in
geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet
is a wide area network.
Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a
graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use
the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor
the device being managed.
