Introduction
>>> 1.1 WSR-3018 - Wireless 11g
Broadband Router
WSR-3018 Wireless Broadband Router (hereafter called
WSR-3018), compliant with IEEE802.11g and IEEE802.11b, is
designed for high throughput and fully function that leads you
into the wireless network environment. In the rapid growing
network environment, WSR-3018 acts as a home-end device
that connects your computer to the WAN service (e.g. the
Internet). With the WSR-3018, networking and sharing informa-
tion throughout the house/office become an easy and flexible
task. In addition, the WSR-3018 is also a switching device as an
aggregating point of the wireless LAN and wired LAN clients,
and as a router between LAN and WAN traffic.
Combined the SPI firewall, wireless Access Point and LAN
switch into a compact package, WSR-3018 can provide you
with the essential security and IP sharing function. These fea-
tures build the WSR-3018 as a cutting-edge, cost-effective device
that fits to SOHO/home application.
2
>>> 1.2 Networking Options
WSR-3018 is a Base Station that bridges communication
between computers (via wireless networking), and connects
the computers to the Internet.
You can use the WSR-3018 in the following applications:
Home connectivity
A stand-alone wireless network. As shown in the right part of
the diagram below ( ), the out-of-the-box mode of operation
for the WSR-3018 that allows your client stations to share files
and printers. Adding wireless computers is as easy as inserting
a wireless client adapter and configuring the computer with the
same Network Name and Key.
Broadband access
A wireless/wired Internet access via xDSL/Cable Modem or
Ethernet ( ). To access the Internet via a xDSL/Cable or ISDN
modem, you will need to:
- Connect the external modem to the WSR-3018 using a
LAN cable.
- An ISP (Internet Service Provider) account.
Typical Configuration of Wireless LAN
3
With WSR-3018, your network can immediately upgrade to
a wireless network, providing wireless access to the LAN and
WLAN, and sharing information and printers in the network.
54 Mbps Data Rate (max.)/150-400 ft. Indoor Range
The WSR-3018 runs with data-intensive applications like MP3,
multimedia, gaming and streaming video/audio - even through
walls, floors and ceilings. You can get Ethernet quality net-
working without wires and cables - ideal for standard network-
ing requirements.
Superior Antenna Design
Dual dipole antennas provide superior polarized reception and
diversity transmission for the best signal quality.
Interoperable with any 802.11g Compliant Device
The WSR-3018 complies with IEEE 802.11g standard and Wi-Fi,
allowing full interoperability with any Wi-Fi certified wireless
product.
Easy to Install and Use
The Configuration Utility with user-friendly and Web-based
interface provides step-by-step instructions, making the
WSR-3018 fast and easy to be installed and used in the network.
WEP Security to Ensure Privacy
Supports 64-/128-bit WEP encryption, which ensures that your
network signal is secure and private inband and outband of
your home and office.
Scalability
The WSR-3018 can be configured in every way to meet your
needs of specific applications and installations. It also pro-
vides Flash memory for easy firmware upgrade.

>>> 2.4 Installing Your WSR-3018
Positioning
To operate normally, the WSR-3018 should be put on a flat surface,
and do not put any heavy object on it. Before connecting
WSR-3018 to your devices, please note that the WSR-3018 should
be placed in a location where is:
- Easy to access, so that you can conveniently connect it
to the xDSL/Cable Modem through the WAN port, and
to the computers/devices through the LAN ports.
- Allows you to observe the LEDs clearly, so that you
may monitor the real-time networking status and take
instant measures as problems arise.
Connecting Cables
1. To access to the Internet,
connect one end of an
Ethernet cable to the WAN
port of WSR-3018, and the
other end to your xDSL/Cable
Modem.
2. For wired connection to the
network devices, connect
one end of an Ethernet cable
to the LAN port (1~4) of
WSR-3018, and the other end
to your computers/devices.
3. For wireless connection, install the wireless adapters
onto your computers, and you have to configure
respective settings on your computers (refer to your
wireless adapter's manual) to take full advantages of
your WSR-3018.

Configuration
>>> 3.1 Configuration Utility
* admin is the default
password setting of the
wireless gateway, and
can be changed in the
Configuration Utility.
Refer to section 3.3.1
for details.
Since the WSR-3018 supports DHCP Server and which is ena-
bled by default, the computer connected to it is automatically
assigned a dynamic IP address that is allowed to enter the Con-
figuration Utility. Otherwise, you have to assign a fixed IP
address to this computer within the IP address range of the
WSR-3018. For example, you can assign a fixed IP address of
192.168.1.253 with a Subnet Mask of 255.255.255.0. (For more
instruction, please refer to Appendix - A, Assigning a Fixed IP
Address.)
The WSR-3018 provides you with a convenient utility to
customize the network settings. Whenever you want to
configure the respective settings, open your web browser (e.g.
Internet Explorer), and type the default IP address 192.168.1.
254 in the Address bar and press [Enter]. When the password
page appears, type admin* in the Password box and click
LOGIN.
Click
Enter the Password
Open the web browser and
enter the IP Address of the
wireless gateway.
14
The Home window of the Configuration Utility will appear as
below, which provides three options to select: Typical
Configuration, Customized Configuration, and Logout.
Home Window of the Configuration Utility

The WSR-3018 allows you to upgrade its firmware conveniently
from the Configuration Utility. It means that you can obtain
the latest function and take most advantage of your WSR-3018.
However, there is some risk when your are upgrading firmware,
such as power failure. If, unfortunately, power failure occurs
during upgrading firmware, the WSR-3018 may not work anymore.
To protect your investment, SANEO provides a second way to
resume the gateway’s original firmware before upgrading, and
keep the gateway working normally.
To resume the firmware:
1. Connect the gateway to a computer, and then connect
the power cable. Assign a fixed IP address to this
computer within the IP address range of the gateway.
(See Appendix A for detail instruction.)
2. Click Start at the taskbar and select Run.
3. If you are using Window 2000/XP operating system,
type cmd in the Open box and press [Enter]. (For
Windows 98SE/ME, you should type command.)
4. Type tftp -i [host IP address] put [source]* in the
pop-up DOS window and press [Enter].
5. Wait for a few seconds, and the original firmware will
be re-loaded into the gateway. Then, you can enter
the Configuration Utility and use the gateway again.
* host IP address - the
gateway’s IP address,
such as 192.168.1.254.
source - the path and
filename of the firmware,
such as D:\WSR-3018.gzh.

[Enter] in the DOS
window can bring up the
