Installation
This section will walk you through the installation process. Placement of the router is very important. Do not place the router in an
enclosed area
such as a closet, cabinet, or in the attic or garage.
Before you Begin
Please configure the router with the computer that was last connected directly to your modem. Also, you can only use the Ethernet port on your
modem. If you were using the USB connection before using the router, then you must turn off your modem, disconnect the USB cable and connect
an Ethernet cable to the Internet port on the router, and then turn the modem back on. In some cases, you may need to call 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.
Wireless Installation Considerations
The Gemtek wireless router lets you access your network using a wireless connection from virtually anywhere within the operating
range of your
wireless network. Keep in mind that the number, thickness and location of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass
through, may limit the range. Typical ranges vary depending on the types of materials and background RF (radio frequency) noise in your home or
business. The key to maximizing wireless range is to follow these basic guidelines:
1. Keep the number of wal s and ceilings between the Gemtek router and other network devices to a minimum - each wal or
ceiling
can reduce your adapter’s range from 3-90 feet (1-30 meters.) Position your devices so that the number of walls or ceilings is
minimized.
2. Be aware of the direct line between network devices. A wall that is 1.5 feet thick (.5 meters), at a 45-degree angle appears
to be
almost 3 feet (1 meter) thick. At a 2-degree angle it looks over 42 feet (14 meters) thick! Position devices so that the signal
will
travel straight through a wall or ceiling (instead of at an angle) for better reception.
3. Building Materials make a difference. A solid metal door or aluminum studs may have a negative effect on range. Try to
position
access points, wireless routers, and computers so that the signal passes through drywal or open doorways. Materials and
objects
such as glass, steel, metal, walls with insulation, water (fish tanks), mirrors, file cabinets, brick, and concrete will degrade your
wireless signal.
4. Keep your product away (at least 3-6 feet or 1-2 meters) from electrical devices or appliances that generate RF noise.
5. If you are using 2.4GHz cordless phones or X-10 (wireless products such as ceiling fans, lights, and home security systems),
your
wireless connection may degrade dramatically or drop completely. Make sure your 2.4GHz phone base is as far away from
your
wireless devices as possible. The base transmits a signal even if the phone in not in use.
Getting Started
The WRTB-283N includes a Quick Router Setup Wizard CD. Follow the simple steps below to run the Setup Wizard to guide you quickly
through the
installation process.
Insert the QuickRouterSetupWizardCD in the CD-ROM drive. The step-by-step instructions that follow are shown in Windows® XP. The steps
and screens are similar for the other Windows operating systems.

Firewall Settings
A firewall protects your network from the outside world. The Gemtek WRTB-283N offers a firewall type functionality. The SPI feature
helps prevent cyber
attacks. Sometimes you may want a computer exposed to the outside world for certain types of applications. If you choose to expose a computer,
you cam enable DMZ. DMZ is short for Demilitarized Zone. This option will expose the chosen computer completely to the outside
world.
Enable SPI: SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection, also known as dynamic packet
filtering) helps to prevent cyber attacks by tracking more state
per session. It validates that the traffic passing through the
session conforms to the protocol.
NAT Endpoint Select one of the following for TCP and UDP ports:
Filtering: Endpoint Independent - Any incoming traffic sent to an open
port will be forwarded to the application that opened the port.
The port will close if idle for 5 minutes.
Address Restricted - Incoming traffic
address of the outgoing connection.
must match the IP
Address + Port Restriction - Incoming traffic must match the
IP address and port of the outgoing connection.
Enable DMZ Host: If an application has trouble working from behind the router,
you can expose one computer to the Internet and run the
application on that computer.
Note: Placing a computer in the DMZ may expose that computer
to a variety of security risks. Use of this option is only recommended
as a last resort.
IP Address: Specify the IP address of the computer on the LAN that you want
to have unrestricted Internet communication. If this computer
obtains it’s IP address automatical y using DHCP, be sure to make
a static reservation on the Basic > DHCP page so that the IP
address of the DMZ machine does not change.
Application Level Gateway Configuration
Here you can enable or disable ALG’s. Some protocols and applications require special handling of the IP payload to make them work
with network
address translation (NAT). Each ALG provides special handling for a specific protocol or application. A number of ALGs for common applications
are enabled by default.
PPTP: Allows multiple machines on the LAN to connect to their corporate network using PPTP protocol.
IPSEC (VPN): Al ows multiple VPN clients to connect to their corporate network using IPSec. Some VPN clients support traversal of IPSec through NAT. This ALG may interfere
with the operation of such VPN clients. If you are having trouble connecting with your corporate network, try turning this ALG off. Please check with the
system adminstrator of your corporate network whether your VPN client supports NAT traversal.
RTSP: Allows applications that use Real Time Streaming Protocol to receive streaming media from the internet. QuickTime and Real Player are some of the common
applications using this protocol.
SIP: Allows devices and applications using VoIP (Voice over IP) to communicate across NAT. Some VoIP applications and devices have the ability to discover NAT
devices and work around them. This ALG may interfere with the operation of such devices. If you are having trouble making VoIP calls, try turning this ALG
off.
Routing
The Routing option is an advanced method of customizing specific routes of data through your network.
Destination IP:
Enter the IP address of packets that will take this route.
Netmask: Enter the netmask of the route, please note that the octets
must match your destination IP address.
Gateway: Enter your next hop gateway to be taken if this route is
used.
Metric: The route metric is a value from 1 to 16 that indicates
the
cost of using this route. A value 1 is the lowest cost and
15
is the highest cost.
Interface: Select the interface that the IP packet must use to
transit
out of the router when this route is used.
Advanced Wireless Settings

and is recommended.
RTS Threshold:
This value should remain at its default setting of 2432. If
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification
should be made.
Fragmentation The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
Threshold: determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets
exceeding the 2346 byte setting will be fragmented before
transmission. 2346 is the default setting.
DTIM Interval:
(Delivery Traffic Indication Message) 3 is the default setting.
A DTIM is a countdown informing clients of the next window
for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
WMM Function:
WMM is QoS for your wireless network. This will improve
the quality of video and voice applications for your wireless
clients.
Short GI:
Check this box to reduce the guard interval time therefore
increasing the data capacity. However, it’s less reliable and
may create higher data loss.
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS)
Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) System is a simplified method for securing your wireless network during the “Initial setup” as well as the
“Add New
Device” processes. The Wi-Fi Al iance (WFA) has certified it across different products as wel as manufactures. The process is just as
easy, as depressing
a button for the Push-Button Method or correctly entering the 8-digit code for the Pin-Code Method. The time reduction in setup and ease of use
are quite beneficial, while the highest wireless Security setting of WPA2 is automatically used.
Enable: Enable the Wi-Fi Protected Setup feature.
Lock Wireless Locking the wireless security settings prevents the settings from

Devices can still be added to the network using Wi-Fi Protected
Setup. However, the settings of the network wil not change once
this option is checked.
PIN Settings:
A PIN is a unique number that can be used to add the router to
an existing network or to create a new network. The default PIN
may be printed on the bottom of the router. For extra security,
a new PIN can be generated. You can restore the default PIN at
any time. Only the Administrator (“admin” account) can change
or reset the PIN.
Current PIN: Shows the current value of the router’s PIN.
Reset PIN to Restore the default PIN of the router.
Default:
Generate New PIN:
Add Wireless
Create a random number that is a valid PIN. This becomes the
router’s PIN. You can then copy this PIN to the user interface of
the registrar.
This Wizard helps you add wireless devices to the wireless
network.
The wizard will either display the wireless network settings to guide you through manual configuration, prompt you to enter the PIN for the device, or ask you
Station: to press the configuration button on the device. If the device supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup and has a configuration button, you can add it to the network by
pressing the configuration button on the device and then the on the router within 60 seconds. The status LED on the router will flash three times if the device
has been successfully added to the network.
There are several ways to add a wireless device to your network. A “registrar” controls access to the wireless network. A registrar only allows
devices onto the
wireless network if you have entered the PIN, or pressed a special Wi-Fi Protected Setup button on the device. The router acts as a registrar for the network,
although other devices may act as a registrar as well.

Wireless Security
This section will show you the different levels of security you can use to protect your data from intruders. The WRTB-283N offers the
following types
of security:
• WPA2™ (Wi-Fi Protected Access 2)
• WPA™ (Wi-Fi Protected Access)
• WPA2-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
• WPA-PSK (Pre-Shared Key)
What is WPA?
WPA, or Wi-Fi Protected Access, is a Wi-Fi standard that was designed to improve the security features of WEP (Wired Equivalent
Privacy).
The 2 major improvements over WEP:
• Improved data encryption through the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP scrambles the keys using a hashing
algorithm
and, by adding an integrity-checking feature, ensures that the keys haven’t been tampered with. WPA2 is based on 802.11i and
uses Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP.
•
User authentication, which is generally missing in WEP, through the extensible authentication protocol (EAP). WEP regulates
access to a wireless network based on a computer’s hardware-specific MAC address, which is relatively simple to be sniffed out
and stolen. EAP is built on a more secure public-key encryption system to ensure that only authorized network users can access
the network.
WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK uses a passphrase or key to authenticate your wireless connection. The key is an alpha-numeric password between
8 and 63
characters long. The password can include symbols (!?*&_) and spaces. This key must be the exact same key entered on your wireless router or
access point.
WPA/WPA2 incorporates user authentication through the Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP). EAP is built on a more secure public key
encryption
system to ensure that only authorized network users can access the network.
Wi-PnP Wireless Setup
