After configuring the TCP/IP protocol, use the ping command to verify if the computer can
communicate with the Router. To execute the ping command, open the DOS window and Ping the
IP address of the 300Mbps Wireless-N Gigabit Router at the DOS prompt:
For Windows 98/Me: Start → Run. Type command and click OK.
For Windows 2000/XP: Start → Run. Type cmd and click OK.
For Windows Vista/7:Start→ Type cmd at the start search bar and press the Enter.
If the Command window returns something similar to the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>ping 192.168.1.1
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Reply from 192.168.1.1: bytes=32 time=1ms TTL=64
Ping statistics for 192.168.1.1:
Packets: Sent = 4, Received = 4, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 0ms, Maximum = 0ms, Average = 0ms
Then the connection between the router and your computer has been successfully established.
If the computer fails to connect to the router, the Command window will return the
following:
C:\Documents and Settings\admin>ping 192.168.1.1
Pinging 192.168.1.1 with 32 bytes of data:
Request timed out.
Request timed out.

6.4. Wireless Security Settings
The item allows you to encrypt your wireless communication, and you can also protect your
wireless network from unauthorized user access. It supplies “WEP”, “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK”
and “WPA/WPA2-PSK” five different encryption modes.
6.4.1. WEP
Figure 6-4
Key Length: There are two basic levels of WEP encryption, 64 bits and 128 bits, the more
bits password have, the better security wireless network is, at the same time the speed of
wireless is more slower.
Key Mode: If you select WEP to encrypt your data, choose the bits of password, it should be
64 bits or 128 bits. Then choose the format of password; it should be HEX or ASCII. The
valid character for HEX format should be numbers from 0 to 9 and letters from A to F. HEX
support mixed letter and number mode. And ASCII supports all characters that in keyboard.
Key Length description: when you select 64bits, you need to input 10 chars for HEX and 5
chars for ASCII, and when you select 128bits, you need to input 26 chars for HEX and 13
chars for ASCII.
Note: when the WPS is enabled, please not use WEP.
6.4.2. WPA-PSK
Figure 6-5
Encryption type: You can select the algorithm you want to use, TKIP, AES or TKIP&AES.
TKIP means “Temporal Key Integrity Protocol”, which incorporates Message Integrity Code
(MIC) to provide protection against hackers. AES, means “Advanced Encryption System”,
which utilizes a symmetric 128-Bit block data.
Key Renewal: you can configure the renewal time between 60 to 86400 seconds.
Key Length description: you need to input 8 to 63 ASCII characters no matter which type you
select.
6.4.3. WPA2-PSK
The WPA2-PSK is similar to WPA-PSK and with stronger encryption method than WPA-PSK,
using WPA2-PSK; you should input password (leave this value in the range of 8 to 63 characters)
and key renewal time (leave this value in the range of 60 to 86400 seconds).
Figure 6-6
6.4.4. WPA/WPA2-PSK
This item mixed WPA-PSK and WPA2-PSK mode, which provides higher security level; you can
configure it according with WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK.

6.5. WDS Settings
If you have selected WDS or AP+WDS mode in Wireless Basic-Radio Mode, please do the
following configurations.
Figure 6-8
WDS Name: Give a description of your wireless bridge to tell apart.
WDS MAC Address: If the current working mode is “WDS” or “AP+WDS”, then you need
to configure wireless bridge configuration. Enter MAC address of remote access point, at the
same time the remote access point also need to configure to “WDS” or ”AP+WDS” mode.
