follow the following instructions to complete the “Quick Setup”:
a. The first step of the “Quick Setup” is to locate a position to place your Smart Dish
Repeater. The position should be a location where the Repeater can pick up the
signal that you wish to repeat (i.e. the neighbor’s wireless connection, local hot
spot, etc.).
b. Click “Scan” to locate all the networks within your area. Once you have found
the network you wish to repeat, highlight it and click “Connect”. Each wireless
network will be listed with their respective signal strengths and whether or not
they are using security. For secure networks, you will need to have the correct
key to access the network. If you do not you will not be able to repeat this
network. It is recommended that the signal strength of the network you are
trying to repeat is above 50% to ensure a solid connection to the Internet.
Without a stable Internet connection, the rebroadcasted signal will be unstable as
well. If you wish to setup a Pass Through mode (Network Bridging Mode), see
section 2-3-1
23
c. The “Quick Setup” wizard will now attempt to connect to your wireless Internet
connection.
Select “Automatic Setup” to have the wizard automatically configure the IP
settings of your Internet Connection. Most networks use Dynamic IP settings to
automatically assign IP Addresses to incoming connections. Click “Apply”.
If the network you are connecting does not use Dynamic IP settings or you wish
to manually configure your IP, you can choose “Manual Setup”.
d. If a wireless security key is necessary, the wizard will prompt you to enter the key.
This key pertains to WEP and WPA wireless security keys and passphrases. The
Smart Dish Repeater will automatically decipher which type of security you are
using. Type in the key or phrase and press “Continue”.
24
e. When the connection has been established the wizard will prompt you if you wish
to adjust the name of the wireless network used within your home (a.k.a. the SSID
of the network that users will be connecting to from within your home – the
redistributed wireless network). In addition, if you would like to add wireless
security to your home wireless network you may do so here as well (By default, it
uses WPA security. If you wish to change the security type, see section 3-4-3
after you have finished the configuration.) Click “Continue”.

who don’t have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem when such users want to
provide services to other users on the Internet, because their IP address will vary every
time when connected to the Internet, and other users will not be able to know the IP
address they’re using at any certain time.
This Smart Dish Repeater supports DDNS service of several service providers, for
example:
DynDNS (http://www.dyndns.org)
TZO (http://www.tzo.com)
Go to one of the DDNS service provider’s web pages listed above, and get a free DDNS
account by the instructions given on their webpage.

3-3 Home Network (LAN: Local Area Network) Configuration
A LAN is the network within your home. All computers accessing your Internet
connection through the Smart Dish Repeater are considered part of your Home Network.
Each of these users will either have their own manually configured IP address or an
automatically configured IP address from the Smart Dish Repeater via its DHCP server.
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 Smart Dish Repeater automatically. It’s recommended for most
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 computers and users that come
from the Internet, a static IP address should be used.
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 Smart Repeater Pro is capable to work with up to
253 clients, so you can set ‘d’ field of IP address of Smart
Repeater Pro 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 Smart Repeater
Pro’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.
41

1. Never use simple words (like school, apple and computer) as WEP encryption or
WPA passphrase security keys.
2. A complicated (combination of numbers, alphabets, and even symbols) WEP key and
WPA passphrase is much safer than short and simple ones. Remember that the
wireless client is capable of keeping the key or passphrase for you, so you only have
to input the complicated key or passphrase once.
3. You can hide the ESSID of this Smart Dish Repeater by setting the “Broadcast
ESSID” option to “Disable”. Your wireless Smart Dish Repeater 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.
4. Use “Access Control” function described in section 3-4-4, so those people who are
not in your list will not be able to connect to your network.

Chapter IV: Advanced Functions
4-1 Quality of Service (QoS)
Quality of service provides an efficient way for computers on the network to share the
internet bandwidth with a preset connection 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 undesirable result will
occur, like the interruption of video / audio transfer.
With this function, you can limit the maximum bandwidth or give a guaranteed
bandwidth to a specific user. This tool is very useful for bandwidth management for the
network administrator.

4-2 Network Address Translation (NAT)
Network address translations solve the problem of sharing a single IP address with
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
connect to the Internet.

a. This is most usually caused by wireless channel
interference. First, we need to check the wireless
channels. Refer to section 3-2-1 on how to access
the Smart Dish Repeater’s built in wireless site
survey. Channels are usually from 1-11. Take
note of the channels that are empty or are mostly
open. Now, close the site survey and go “General
Setup”, then click on “Home Wireless”. Under
the basic settings, you should see an option for
channel. Select a channel that you had previously
noted as being free. Click save and apply.
If you are not sure what to select, you can also try
just selecting a channel that is several increments
away from your previous. For example, if you
noted your original wireless network was on
Channel 6, try using Channel 3 or Channel 9.
b. Slower speeds can also be caused by the Smart
Dish Repeater placed too far from the original
wireless. Try moving it closer.

5-3 Glossary
Default Gateway (Smart Dish Repeater): Every non-Smart Dish Repeater 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.BroadbandSmart Dish Repeater.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, which identifies a single,
unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example: 192.168.1.2. 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 “.”:
125
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
Smart Dish Repeaters 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 Smart Dish Repeater 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.
WLAN: Wireless Local Area Network. A WLAN is a group of computers and devices
connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office) wirelessly.
Your wireless home network is considered a WLAN.
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.
126
NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your
home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband Smart Dish Repeater’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

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.
127
Smart Dish Repeater: A Smart Dish Repeater is an intelligent network device that
forwards packets between different networks based on network layer address information
such as IP addresses. It provides modem access with any wireless 802.11b/g/n network
and redistributes the signal via Ethernet or wireless Ethernet with full router capabilities.
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.
Source Wireless Network: A wireless network that is used to connect to the Internet.
This network can be from another connection with a wireless router and a broadband
modem. The Smart Dish Repeater uses the Source Wireless Network to establish a
connection to share the Internet connection locally. The Source Wireless Network may
be a local coffee shop Wi-Fi hot spot or another home or office with a WLAN (with
Internet access).
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 Firefox or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the
device being managed.
