 2   Chapter 1: I n tro d u c ti o n  This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Router's features and capabilities. Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Router is a multi-function device providing the following services: • Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users. • 4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections. • Wireless Access Point for 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless Stations.  Wireless Router Features The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide sophisticated functions while being easy to use. 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  &  Cable  Modem  Support.    The  Wireless  Router  has  a  10/100BaseT  Ethernet port  for  connecting  a  DSL  or  Cable  Modem.  All  popular  DSL  and  Cable  Modems  are supported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included. • PPPoE,  and  PPTP.  The Internet (WAN port)  connection  supports  PPPoE  (PPP  over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Protocol),  as well  as "Direct Connection" type services. Unnumbered IP with PPPoE is also supported. • 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.
Introduction 3 Advanced Internet Functions • Communication Applications.  Support for Internet communication applications, such as interactive Games, Telephony, and Conferencing applications, which are often difficult to use when behind a Firewall, is included. • Special  Internet  Applications.    Applications  which  use  non-standard  connections  or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally. • Virtual  Servers.    This  feature  allows  Internet  users  to access Internet  servers  on  your LAN. The required setup is quick and easy. • DDNS  Support.    DDNS  (Dynamic  DNS)  allows  Internet  users  to  connect  to  Virtual Servers on your LAN using a domain name, even if your IP address is not fixed. • DMZ.  For  each  WAN (Internet) IP  address allocated to you,  only  one  (1)  PC  on  your local LAN can be configured to allow unrestricted 2-way communication with Servers or individual  users  on  the  Internet.  This  provides  the  ability  to  run  programs  which  are incompatible with Firewalls. • URL Filter.  Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users. • Internet Access Log.  See which Internet connections have been made. • Access  Control.    Using  the  Access  Control  feature,  you  can  assign  LAN  users  to different groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group. • VPN  Pass  through  Support.    PCs  with  VPN  (Virtual  Private  Networking)  software using PPTP, L2TP and IPSec are transparently supported - no configuration is required. Wireless Features • Standards  Compliant.  The  Wireless  Router  complies  with  the  IEEE802.11g  (DSSS) specifications for Wireless LANs.  • Supports  both  802.11b  and  802.11g  Wireless  Stations.    The  802.11g  standard provides  for  backward  compatibility  with  the  802.11b  standard,  so  both  802.11b  and 802.11g Wireless stations can be used simultaneously. • Speeds to 54Mbps.  All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 54Mbps are supported. • WEP support.  Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included.  Key sizes of 64 Bit and 128 Bit are supported. • Wireless  MAC  Access  Control.  The Wireless Access Control  feature  can  check  the the  MAC  address  (hardware  address)  of  Wireless  stations  to  ensure  that  only  trusted Wireless Stations can access your LAN. • Simple  Configuration.    If  the  default  settings  are  unsuitable,  they  can  be  changed quickly and easily. LAN Features • 4-Port  Switching  Hub.    The  Wireless  Router  incorporates  a  4-port  10/100BaseT switching hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN. • DHCP Server Support.  Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN. • .
 4 Configuration & Management • Easy  Setup.    Use  your  WEB  browser  from  anywhere  on  the  LAN  or  WLAN  for configuration.  • Configuration File Upload/Download.  Save (download) the configuration data from the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file to the Wireless Router. • Remote  Management.    The  Wireless  Router  can  be  managed  from  any  PC  on  your LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be configured via the Internet. • Network  Diagnostics.    You  can  use  the  Wireless  Router  to  perform  a  Ping  or  DNS lookup. • UPnP  Support.    UPnP  (Universal  Plug  and  Play)  allows  automatic  discovery  and configuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is by supported by Windows ME, XP, or later. Security Features • Password  -  protected  Configuration.    Optional  password  protection  is  provided  to prevent unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings. • Wireless  LAN  Security.    WEP  (Wired  Equivalent  Privacy)  is  supported,  as  well  as Wireless access control to prevent unknown wireless stations from accessing your LAN. • NAT  Protection.    An  intrinsic  side  effect  of  NAT  (Network  Address  Translation) technology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only a single device - the Wireless Router. • Protection  against  DoS  attacks.    DoS  (Denial  of  Service)  attacks  can  flood  your Internet  connection  with  invalid  packets  and  connection  requests,  using  so  much bandwidth and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router incorporates protection against DoS attacks. Package Contents The following items should be included: • The Wireless Router Unit • Power Adapter • Quick Installation Guide • CD-ROM containing the on-line manual. If any of the above items are damaged or missing, please contact your dealer immediately.

 46 Wireless Station Configuration This section applies to all Wireless stations wishing to use the Wireless Router's Access Point, regardless of the operating system which is used on the client. To  use  the  Wireless  Access  Point  in  the  Wireless  Router,  each  Wireless  Station  must  have compatible settings, as follows: Mode   The mode must be set to Infrastructure. SSID (ESSID)  This must match the value used on the Wireless Router. The default value is Untitled  Note! The SSID is case sensitive. WEP  By default, WEP on the Wireless Router is disabled. • If WEP remains disabled on the Wireless Router, all stations must have WEP disabled. • If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, each station must use the same settings as the Wireless Router.  Note: By default, the Wireless Router will allow both 802.11b and 802.11g connections.
 Appendix A T ro u b l es ho o ti n g  This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions. Overview This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice. General Problems Problem 1:  Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it. Solution 1:  Check the following: • The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK, and it is powered ON. • Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)  • If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP client), restart it. • If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP Address within the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 and thus compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of 192.168.1.254.  Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the Wireless Router. In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.  Internet Access Problem 1: When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error. Solution 1: A  number  of  things  could  be  causing  this.  Try  the  following troubleshooting steps. • Check if other  PCs work.  If they  do, ensure that  your  PCs IP settings are  correct.  If  using  a  Fixed  (Static)  IP  Address,  check  the  Network Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address. • If  the  PCs  are  configured  correctly,  but  still  not  working,  check  the Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power connections.) • If  the  Wireless  Router  is  configured  correctly,  check  your  Internet connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly. Problem 2: Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.
 48  Solution 2:  The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not transparent. Use the Special Applications feature to allow the use of Internet applications which do not function correctly. If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. This should work with almost every application, but: • It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled. • Only one (1) PC can use this feature. Wireless Access Problem 1: My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point. Solution 1: Check the following. • Your  PC  is  set  to  Infrastructure  Mode.  (Access  Points  are  always  in Infrastructure Mode)  • The  SSID  on  your  PC  and  the  Wireless  Access  Point  are  the  same. Remember  that  the  SSID  is  case-sensitive.  So,  for  example "Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup". • Both your PC and the Wireless Router must have the same setting  for WEP. The default setting  for the Wireless Router  is  disabled,  so  your wireless station should also have WEP disabled. • If WEP  is  enabled  on  the  Wireless  Router,  your  PC  must  have  WEP enabled, and the key must match. • If the Wireless Router's Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN  access to selected  Wireless  Stations  only,  then  each  of  your  Wireless  stations must have been selected, or access will be blocked. • To see if radio interference is  causing a  problem, see  if  connection  is possible  when  close  to  the  Wireless  Router.  Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor environments. Problem 2: Wireless connection speed is very slow. Solution 2:  The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible connection speed, you can experiment with the following: • Wireless Router location. Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless Router. • Wireless Channel If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a marked improvement. • Radio Interference Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices should be shielded or relocated. • RF Shielding Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close to the Wireless Router.
 Appendix B A b o u t W i rel es s  L A N s  This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless LANs (WLANs). Modes Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes: • Ad-hoc • Infrastructure Ad-hoc Mode Ad-hoc  mode  does  not  require  an  Access  Point  or  a  wired  (Ethernet)  LAN.  Wireless Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other. Infrastructure Mode In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations (e.g. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations can then access all LAN resources.  Access  Points  can  only  function  in  "Infrastructure"  mode, and can communicate only with Wireless Stations which are set to "Infrastructure" mode.  BSS BSS A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a Basic Service Set (BSS). Using the same SSID is  essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate with each other. Channels The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.  • Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA and  Canada,  11  channel  are  available.  If  using  multiple  Access  Points,  it  is  better  if adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference. • In  "Infrastructure"  mode,  Wireless  Stations  normally  scan  all  Channels,  looking  for  an Access  Point.  If  more  than  one  Access  Point  can  be  used,  the  one  with  the  strongest signal is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.) B
 50 WEP WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.  This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is transmitted  by  your  Wireless  Stations.  But  if  the  data  is  encrypted,  then  it  is  meaningless unless the receiver can decrypt it. If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings for each of the following: WEP  Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit Key  For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.  For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match WEP Authentication  Open System or Shared Key.  Wireless LAN Configuration To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings, as follows: Mode  On  client  Wireless  Stations,  the  mode  must  be  set  to  "Infrastructure". (The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.) SSID (ESSID)  Wireless  Stations  should  use  the  same  SSID  (ESSID)  as  the  Access Point  they  wish  to  connect  to.  Alternatively,  the  SSID  can  be  set  to "any" or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point. WEP  The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings for WEP (Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit). WEP  Key:    If  WEP  is  enabled,  the  Key  must  be  the  same  on  the Wireless Stations and the Access Point. WEP  Authentication:   If  WEP  is  enabled,  all  Wireless Stations  must use  the  same  setting  as  the  Access  Point  (either  "Open  System"  or "Shared Key").
