1.1 Features
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access: All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the Wireless Router, using only a single external IP address. The local
(invalid) IP addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT
(Network Address Translation).
• DSL and cable modem Support: The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet
WAN port for connecting a DSL or cable modem. All popular DSL and cable
modems are supported.
• PPPoE and PPTP Support: The Internet (WAN port) connection supports PPPoE
(PPP over Ethernet) and PPTP (Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol), as well as “Direct
Connection” type services.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address: On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless
Router supports both Dynamic IP address (IP address is allocated on connection)
and Fixed IP address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Conferencing & Telephony Applications: Internet Telephony and Conferencing
applications are supported.
• DMZ: One PC on your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way
communication with Servers or individual users on the Internet.
• URL Filter: Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users,
or Wireless LAN users.
• Internet Access Log: This feature is used to verify which Internet connections have
been made.

• Wireless LAN Security: Supports 64/128 bit WEP Encryption, WPA-PSK, WPA
TKIP/AES, RADIUS Server.
• NAT Protection: This feature allows all LAN users to share a single IP address and all
users’ IPs are hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network only
Wireless Router exists.
• Firewall: All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests
are filtered.

2 PC Configuration
User needs to configure TCP/IP network settings, Internet access configuration and
Wireless configuration for each system within Wireless Router’s LAN network.
By default, Wireless Router acts as a DHCP server for server version of Windows, it
automatically assigns IP address to each system when systems boot up. For all
non-server version of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting acts as a DHCP client. If user
chooses fixed IP addresses for client systems, the Gateway of the client system must be
set to the IP address of the Wireless Router and DNS of the client system should be set to
the address provided by your ISP.
