When the duration of no data transmission exceeds the maximum idle time, the device disconnects the Internet connection.•Manual: The device connects to the Internet after you click Connect on the connection page. For details, see "Accessing the Internet".PPP Authentication: This service is provided by your ISP. For details, consult your ISP.Configuring WLAN Settings(Name) SSID: Enter a name for your wireless local area network (WLAN).• The service set identifier (SSID) is used to identify a WLAN. A PC and the wireless device can perform normal data communication only when they have the same SSIDs. To ensure the WLAN security, do not use the default SSID. You can enter a character string as the SSID, such as MyHome.
Quick Setup8SSID Broadcast: Enable or disable the SSID broadcast.•Enabled: The device broadcasts the SSID of the WLAN and users can easily access the WLAN. In this case, unauthorized users can also access the WLAN because the SSID is broadcasted.•Disabled: The device does not broadcast the SSID of the WLAN. Before accessing the WLAN, a user must obtain the SSID of the WLAN. In this case, the WLAN security is improved. Note For the convenience of users accessing the WLAN, you can select Enabled for SSID Broadcast when you configure the WLAN setting. After the setting, you can select Disabled to improve the WLAN security.Configuring WLAN Encryption To access the WLAN, you must set the wireless security key on your PC to be the same as that of the wireless device.No Encryption• For the convenience of users accessing the WLAN, you can select NO ENCRYPTION for the Encryption Mode when you set up a WLAN. It is not recommended to select this option in daily use.WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK•WPA-PSK: It is a 256-bit data encryption method that can automatically change the key.•WPA2-PSK: It is a more secure version of WPA-PSK and it supports the IEEE 802.11i standard.•WPA Encryption Algorithm: TKIP, AES, TKIP+AES.•WPA Pre-Shared Key: You can enter a 64-character hexadecimal value or 8-63-character ASCII value as the key. The ASCII value contains all characters that can be entered through the PC keyboard, and the hexadecimal value contains numbers of 0-9 and characters of A-F. For example, you can enter the ASCII value of 1234abcde as the key.•Network Key Rotation Interval: It is used to set how long a network key is dynamically changed. By default, it is 0. To disable this function, you can set the value to 0 or null.WEP• Wireless Equivalent Privacy (WEP) is a 64-bit or 128-bit data encryption method. The 128-bit WEP encryption provides higher security level.•Network Key 1: You can enter 5 ASCII characters or 10-character hexadecimal numeral to form a 64-bit key.

For details, see "Configuring the Network Connection".•IP Address: The default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1.•Subnet Mask: The combination of the subnet mask and IP address enables the flexible sub netting. By default, the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
Clip Settings 17•DHCP Server: It is used to assign IP addresses dynamically. If the DHCP server is Enabled, it can automatically assign IP addresses for PCs. It is recommended to select Enabled for the DHCP server.•Start IP Address/End IP Address: It is used to define the IP address range that the host can use during the IP address assignment. For example, in the network segment 192.168.1.0/24, the default IP address of the device is 192.168.1.1. The host IP address can range from 192.168.1.2 to 192.168.1.254. The minimum range is a single IP address.•DHCP Lease Time: The DHCP server automatically assigns an IP address to each device connected to the network. When the leased time expires, the DHCP server checks whether the device is connected to the network. If the device is disconnected from the network, the server assigns the IP address to another device. Thus, the IP address is not wasted. Note • The Start IP Address must be smaller than or equal to the End IP Address.• If the DHCP Server is Enabled, the configurations of Start IP Address, End IP address, and DHCP Lease Time are valid; otherwise, you cannot configure them.

256TroubleshootingWhat to do if a PC in the LAN cannot access the Internet? 1If the power indicator is off, you need to check whether the power adapter is normally connected. 2If the signal strength indicator is off, you need to check whether the area is covered by the network. 3If the area is covered by the network, you need to check whether the network mode is correct. For information about network mode, see "Mobile Network Settings". 4If the indicator of the Ethernet interfaces blinks, the corresponding Ethernet interface is normally connected. If the indicator is off, you need to check and ensure that the related Ethernet connection is normal. 5You must configure the correct PPP user name and PPP password when you access the Internet through the device. Check whether they are correct, and see "Configuring PPP Profile Settings" for details. 6If the DHCP service is disabled and the PC obtains the IP address dynamically, the PC also cannot access the Internet. You can change the mode to manually assign an IP address. See "Configuring the Network Connection". 7Check whether the driver of the network adapter is correctly installed. 8If the preceding methods cannot solve the problem, please consult your service provider.What to do if a PC in the WLAN cannot access the WLAN? 1If interferences or shields near the device exist, you can adjust the position of the device. When the signal strength is strong, you can move to the next step.
26 2Check and record the following data on the network adapter of your PC: SSID, WEP type, and key. 3Check and record the following data on the device: SSID, WEP type, and key. 4Compare the recorded data, the SSID on the network adapter should be ANY or be the same as that on the device. The WEP type and key on the network adapter and device should be the same. Otherwise, you need to change the data on the network adapter.What to do if I forgot the IP address of the LAN interface?If you forgot the IP address of the LAN interface, you can enter http://e.home and log in to the management page when the PC obtains the IP address automatically.What to do if bridging between two devices is unsuccessful? 1Make sure that the two devices work on the same channel. For details, see "Selecting a WLAN Channel". 2Make sure that the MAC address of one device is in the peer MAC address list of the other device. For details, see "WLAN Bridge".When the signal strength is normal, what to do if the downloading rate is low?In this case, you need to set the value in the registry as follows: 1Choose Start > Run. 2Enter regedit in the Open text box and then click OK. 3Select parameters in the following directory: \HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip.
27 4Choose Edit > New > DWORD Value. 5Rename New Value #1 to TcpWindowSize. 6Right-click TcpWindowSize and then select Modify. 7Select Decimal and enter 65535 in the Value data text box, and then click OK. 8For the DWORD Value of DefaultRcvWindow, do the same operations as that of TcpWindowSize.
