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.

225TroubleshootingWhat 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 you 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.
232Troubleshooting 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.  4Choose Edit > New > DWORD Value. 5Rename New Value #1 to TcpWindowSize.

Therefore, the connection cannot be guaranteed in all conditions. In an emergency, you should not rely solely on the wireless device for essential communications. Specific Absorption Rate (SAR)Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit for wireless devices is 2.0 W/kg and the highest SAR value for this device when tested complied with this limit. Body Worn OperationImportant safety information regarding radiofrequency radiation (RF) exposure.To ensure compliance with RF exposure guidelines the device must be used with a minimum of 1.5 cm separation from the body.Failure to observe these instructions could result in your RF exposure exceeding the relevant guideline limits. Regulatory InformationThe following approvals and notices apply in specific regions as noted.CE Approval (European Union)The wireless device is approved to be used in the member states of the EU. The wireless device is in compliance with the essential requirements and other
Regulatory Information28relevant provisions of the Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive).CE Statement:The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must beinstalled to provide a separation distance of at least20cm from all persons.Federal Communications Commission Notice (United States): Before a wireless device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for safe exposure.The SAR limit adopted by the USA and Canada is 1.6 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The highest SAR value reported to the FCC for this device type was compliant with this limit.FCC StatementThis device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.* This device should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 20 cm between the radiator and your body when using it via USB cable.This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital Device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC rulesChanges or modifications made to this equipment not expressly approved by (manufacturer name) may void the FCC authorization to operate this equipment.
