Robust and Reliable Wireless Performance
The EMR3000 is a AC1200 Dual-Band Mesh Router with a
built-in 4-port Gigabit Ethernet switch. This cost effective
router can connect to DSL or cable modems to provide
high performance Internet access for desktop or laptop
computers, tablets, smartphones and a wide variety of home
entertainment devices, like HDTVs, set top boxes, Blu-ray
players and game consoles.

Maximum data rates are based on draft IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11 standards. Actual throughput and range may vary depending on many factors including environmental conditions, distance between devices, radio interference in the
operating environment, and mix of devices in the network. EnGenius Technologies, Inc. EnShare™ supports both FAT32 and NTFS USB formats. Transfer speeds of data from your router-attached USB storage device to a remote/mobile device
may vary based on Internet uplink and downlink speeds, bandwidth traffic at either send or receive locations, the data retrieval performance of the attached storage device or other factors. EnGenius does not guarantee compatibility with

Product Overview
A Media Sharing Platform
The EMR3000 is designed to access and share media for
devices on the home network. In addition to connecting home
entertainment components to any of its available Gigabit
Ethernet ports, the EMR3000 also includes a USB port for
attaching a USB storage device so wireless devices in the
home or away from the home can access or upload media
content wherever there is an available Internet connection
through EnShare™ - Your Personal Cloud.
USB Media Anywhere
with EnShare
TM
Attach USB storage to the EMR3000 and
access or upload video, music, and other
media throughout your home or away from
home from your smartphone, tablet, or
laptop.
EnShare is available as an Internet portal for accessing stored
media connected to the USB port of the router (See the
Using EnShare document in the product packaging). EnShare
will also be available as an app for Apple iOS devices (iPads,
iPods and iPhones) and Android-based devices (smartphones,
tablet PCs, Kindle and other mobile readers) soon. The apps
will be available through Apple iTunes Store and Google Play
respectively.
More Guest Access Options
The EMR3000 also includes up to eight (8) separate
and discrete Guest Access options allowing the router’s
administrator to assign different names (SSIDs-Service Set
Identifiers) for each login to the home network so friends or
visitors can access the user’s Internet connection without
accessing personal data stored on networked computers in
the home.
Industry-standard Wireless Security
The router supports a variety of security features and
mechanisms including industry-standard WPA/WPA2 wireless
encryption to prevent unauthorized access to your network. It
also includes a built-in SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection) firewall
to help prevent attacks from malicious software (malware)
from the Internet. The router also supports IPv6.

When considering the placement of the
router
remember the following:
• It must be close to an electrical
outlet.
• For optimal wireless connectivity,
place the router near the center of
the room if possible, at a high level
Other electronic devices and some
architectural construction materials
or impediments may interfere with
the wireless signal(s) of the router
and reduce its range or coverage. Try
to minimize the number of walls or
floors that the router’s signal needs to
penetrate to connect to other wireless
devices.

Controlling the Router Through
Its Web Configuration Interface
10
Logging In
During the Quick Start Guide procedure, you should have
successfully logged into the router’s Web Configuration user
interface (essentially the router’s operating system that
controls how it operates) and established some initial settings
and controls for the router.
If you wish to change the router’s settings (establish a
new username and password for the person who manages
and maintains the router, set Parental Controls, establish
a Guest Access-SSID setting for visitors, or any number of
other settings) you can log into the Web Configuration again
through the web browser (Internet Explorer, Safari, Chrome,
Firefox) on your computer or tablet device.
The default login settings are:
username: admin
password: admin
To do this, enter the router’s default IP address of
192.168.0.1 into your browser’s address window.
1. At the login screen enter your username and a password
2. Click Login to continue.
It’s highly recommended that, if you haven’t done so already,
to change these default names, so your router and the devices
connected to it on your home network are more secure.

Address field. The default setting of the DHCP server is set
to Enabled so that networked clients (computers, home
entertainment components, printers, etc.) will automatically be
assigned IP addresses by the router.
More advanced users may wish to configure the DNS server
settings to meet their specific requirements. Changing the
settings in this section are not necessary for most situations.

Enable Static DHCP IP
There are reasons why you may want to enable a static IP
address on a client device on your ESR router’s network.
On occasion, if there are power outages or if you’ve reconfigured
the settings on your ESR router and reboot (restart) it to apply
the new settings, the previous IP address that the router’s DHCP
server assigned to one or more devices on the network may have
changed. Some client devices on your network may also have
web configuration interfaces (set top boxes, Network Attached
Storage, etc.) that are accessible from the router’s assigned
IP address from its DHCP server, so the client device can be
managed. Thus if the client device’s IP address changes from
time to time, it may be difficult linking to it unless you find its
new address through the ESR router’s DHCP Client Table.
MAC Address
Enter the MAC address of the device to add as a static DHCP
client.
Click Add to add the device to the static DHCP client table or
Reset to return the table to its previous state.
If you wish to avoid this, then the Enable Static DHCP IP option
allows you set a static (essentially a permanent) address for
given client devices on your network.
To do so, select the Enable Static DHCP IP option.

to access your wireless network and then gain access to private information on devices on your network. It’s highly recommended
that you encrypt your router with WPA2 (AES) for optimal security and throughput performance. Always select a strong passphrase
greater than 8 characters long and comprised of letters, numbers, and symbols. Please make note of the passphrase and keep it in a
secure location somewhere in your home in case you need to retrieve it.

Configuring Demilitarized Zone
Configuring a device on the LAN as a Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) host allows unrestricted two-way Internet access for Internet
applications, such as online video games, to run from behind the NAT firewall. The DMZ function allows the router to redirect all
packets going to the WAN port IP address to a particular IP address on the LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the
DMZ function is that a virtual server redirects a particular service or Internet application, such as FTP, to a particular LAN client or
server, whereas a DMZ redirects all packets, regardless of the service, going to the WAN IP address to a particular LAN client or server.
A DMZ host allows a computer to have all its connections and ports completely open during data transmission.
WARNING! The PC defined as a DMZ host is not protected by the firewall and is vulnerable to malicious network attacks.
Do not store or manage sensitive information on the DMZ host.
To view the DMZ settings, click Firewall then select DMZ.

Port Forwarding Setup
Port forwarding enables multiple server applications on a LAN to serve clients on a WAN over a single WAN IP address. The router
accepts incoming client packets, filters them based on the destination WAN, or public, port and protocol and forwards the packets to
the appropriate LAN, or local, port. Unlike the DMZ feature, port forwarding protects LAN devices behind the firewall.

Port Triggering Setup
Some applications, such as online games, videoconferencing and VoIP telephony, require multiple ports for inbound and outbound
traffic. If an application requires simultaneous use of incoming and an outgoing ports, configure port triggering to map a local port or
range of ports to a specific public port. Sending packets out over the local port triggers the router to open an incoming local port that
is mapped to the same public port and application as the outgoing local port(s). The local application can communicate over the
incoming and outgoing ports without the need for creating a fixed address.
