Appendix A: Troubleshooting
Appendix A: Troubleshooting
1. How do I restore the Wireless Access Point to factory default settings?
When the Wireless Access Point is powered on, press and hold the reset button on the rear
panel for 8~10 seconds, after all the lights start flashing, release it.
2. What can I do if I forget my password?
Restore the wireless Access Point to factory default settings. If you do not know how to do it,
please refer to the answer for question 1.
Use the default username and password: admin, admin.
Reconfigure the wireless Access Point since you have ever reset it.
3. I cannot login the web management page.
Check the computer’s IP address, make sure the IP address is correct, for details please refer
to the section of Configure the Computers IP Address in this manual.
Make sure you put 192.168.0.254 into the address bar, not the search bar.
Check your web browser, make sure the Proxy server is unchecked. Take Internet Explorer as
an example, go to Tools>Internet Options>Connections>LAN Settings, uncheck Use a
proxy server for your LAN.
If it tells you the username or password is error, and you cannot remember the new one,
please reset router by pressing reset button for at least 6 seconds, and then try to login with
default username and password (admin/admin).

FCC Statement
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 Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates uses and can
radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that
interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more
of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is
connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/ TV technician for help.
• Changes or modifications to this unit not expressly approved by the party responsible for
compliance could void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.
FCC Caution
• This 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.
• For product available in the USA market, only channel 1~11 can be operated. Selection of
other channels is not possible.
• This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled
environment.
• This device and its antenna(s) must not be co-located or operation in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

Appendix C: Glossary
Appendix C: Glossary
802.11b: The 802.11b standard specifies a wireless networking at 11 Mbps using
direct-sequence spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology and operating in the unlicensed radio
spectrum at 2.4GHz, and WEP encryption for security. 802.11b networks are also referred to as
Wi-Fi networks.
802.11g: Specification for wireless networking at 54 Mbps using direct-sequence
spread-spectrum (DSSS) technology, using OFDM modulation and operating in the unlicensed
radio spectrum at 2.4GHz, and backward compatibility with IEEE 802.11b devices, and WEP
encryption for security.
Access Point (AP): A wireless LAN transceiver or base station that can connect a wired LAN to
one or many wireless devices. Access points can also bridge to each other.
DNS (Domain Name System): An Internet Service that translates the names of websites into IP
addresses.
Domain Name: A descriptive name for an address or group of addresses on the Internet.
DoS (Denial of Service): A hacker attack designed to prevent your computer or network from
operating or communicating.
DSL (Digital Subscriber Line): A technology that allows data to be sent or received over
existing traditional phone lines.
ISP (Internet Service Provider): A company that provides access to the Internet.
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit):The size in bytes of the largest packet that can be
transmitted.
SSID: A Service Set Identification is a thirty-two character (maximum) alphanumeric key
identifying a wireless local area network. For the wireless devices in a network to communicate
with each other, all devices must be configured with the same SSID. This is typically the
configuration parameter for a wireless PC card. It corresponds to the ESSID in the wireless Access
Point and to the wireless network name.
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy): A data privacy mechanism based on a 64-bit or 128-bit or
152-bit shared key algorithm, as described in the IEEE 802.11 standard.
Wi-Fi: A trade name for the 802.11b wireless networking standard, given by the Wireless
Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA, see http://www.wi-fi.net), an industry standards group
promoting interoperability among 802.11b devices.
WLAN (Wireless Local Area Network): A group of computers and associated devices
communicate with each other wirelessly, which network serving users are limited in a local area.

Appendix C: Glossary
WPA (Wi-Fi Protected Access): WPA is a security technology for wireless networks that improves
on the authentication and encryption features of WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy). In fact, WPA
was developed by the networking industry in response to the shortcomings of WEP. One of the
key technologies behind WPA is the Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP). TKIP addresses the
encryption weaknesses of WEP. Another key component of WPA is built-in authentication that
WEP does not offer. With this feature, WPA provides roughly comparable security to VPN
tunneling with WEP, with the benefit of easier administration and use. This is similar to 802.1x
support and requires a RADIUS server in order to implement. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this,
WPA-Enterprise. One variation of WPA is called WPA Pre Shared Key or WPA-PSK for short, this
provides an authentication alternative to an expensive RADIUS server. WPA-PSK is a simplified
but still powerful form of WPA most suitable for home Wi-Fi networking. To use WPA-PSK, a
person sets a static key or "passphrase" as with WEP. But, using TKIP, WPA-PSK automatically
changes the keys at a preset time interval, making it much more difficult for hackers to find and
exploit them. The Wi-Fi Alliance will call this WPA-Personal.
