HAPT ER Introduction 1.1 Overview The WRE2206 (N) is a universal repeater that is an access point and a wireless client at the same time. The WRE2206 (N) wirelessly relays communications from its wireless clients to the access point. LEW Figure 1 Universal Repeater WLAN AP Your can create the following connections using the WRE2206: • LAN . You can connect network devices via the Ethernet port of the WRE2206 so that they can communicate with each other and access the Internet. • W LAN . Wireless clients can connect to the WRE2206 to access network resources. Use a (supported) web browser to manage the WRE2206. See Chapter 4 on page 21 for more information. WRE2206 User’s Guide Chapter 1 Introduction 1.2 Securing the WRE2206 Do the following things regularly to make the WRE2206 more secure and to manage the WRE2206 more effectively. • Change the password. Use a password that’s not easy to guess and that consists of different types of characters, such as numbers and letters. • Write down the password and put it in a safe place. • Back up the configuration (and make sure you know how to restore it). Restoring an earlier working configuration may be useful if the device becomes unstable or even crashes. If you forget your password, you will have to reset the WRE2206 to its factory default settings. If you backed up an earlier configuration file, you would not have to totally re-configure the WRE2206. You could simply restore your last configuration. 1.3 Front Panel Figure 2 Front Panel WPS Button Signal Strength Number of Clients Indicator Ethernet Port 10 WRE2206 User’s Guide Chapter 1 Introduction The following table describes the LEDs and the WPS button.

After turning off the LED, the WRE2206 disconnects the connection to a wireless client via WPS and returns to the normal state. The physical WPS button has priority over the WPS button in the Web Configurator. WRE2206 User’s Guide 11 Chapter 1 Introduction 1.4.1 WiFi Protected Setup Your WRE2206 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS), which is an easy way to set up a secure wireless network. WPS is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Each WPS connection works between two devices. Both devices must support WPS (check each device’s documentation to make sure). Depending on the devices you have, you can either press a button (recommended) on the device itself, or in its configuration utility or enter a PIN (a unique Personal Identification Number that allows one device to authenticate the other) in each of the two devices. When WPS is activated on a device, it has two minutes to find another device that also has WPS activated. Then, the two devices connect and set up a secure network by themselves. For more information on using WPS, see Section 5.2 on page 26. 12 WRE2206 User’s Guide C HAPT ER The Web Configurator 2.1 Overview This chapter describes how to access the WRE2206 Web Configurator and provides an overview of its screens. The Web Configurator is an HTML-based management interface that allows easy setup and management of the WRE2206 via Internet browser. Use Internet Explorer 6.0 and later versions, Mozilla Firefox 3 and later versions, or Safari 2.0 and later versions. The recommended screen resolution is 1024 by 768 pixels. In order to use the Web Configurator you need to allow: • Web browser pop-up windows from your device. Web pop-up blocking is enabled by default in Windows XP SP (Service Pack) 2. • JavaScript (enabled by default). • Java permissions (enabled by default). Refer to Chapter 10 Troubleshooting to see how to make sure these functions are allowed in Internet Explorer. 2.2 Accessing the Web Configurator Make sure your WRE2206 hardware is properly connected and prepare your computer or computer network to connect to the WRE2206 (refer to the Quick Start Guide). Note: Your computer or the part of your network connected to the WRE2206 must be on the same subnet as the WRE2206. The WRE2206’s DHCP server is enabled before the WRE2206 is associated with your AP or wireless router and disabled after association. If this is the first time you are accessing your WRE2206, you can configure your computer as a DHCP client (computer factory default) so it will get an IP address automatically from the WRE2206. After the WRE2206 is associated with your wireless router, your computer will get its IP address from the wireless router. Launch your web browser. If this is the first time you are accessing your WRE2206, type "http://192.168.1.2" as the website address in your web browser. This is the default LAN IP address. Alternatively, after the WRE2206 has successfully associated with your wireless router, type "http://zyxelsetup" instead of the default IP address. WRE2206 User’s Guide 13 Chapter 2 The Web Configurator Type a dm in (default) as the user name and 1 2 3 4 (default) as the password and click OK.

LAN Maintenance WRE2206 User’s Guide 25 C HAPT ER Tutorials 5.1 Overview This chapter provides tutorials for your WRE2206 as follows: • Connecting a Wireless Client using WPS • Push Button Configuration (PBC) • PIN Configuration • Connecting the WRE2206 to an AP • Connecting to an AP with the WPS PBC Method • Connecting to an AP with the WPS PIN Method • Selecting an AP from an Automatically Detected List • Selecting an AP by Manually Entering Security Information 5.2 Connecting a Wireless Client using WPS This section gives you an example of how to connect a client to the WRE2206 using WPS. There are two WPS methods for creating a secure connection. This tutorial shows you how to do both. • Push Bu t t on Configu r a t ion ( PBC) - create a secure wireless network by simply pressing the WPS button twice on the WRE2206’s front panel or by clicking the St a r t PBC button in the N e t w or k > W ir e le ss LAN > W PS St a t ion screen. See Section 5.2.1 on page 26. This is the easier method. • PI N Con figu r a t ion - create a secure wireless network simply by entering a wireless client's PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the WRE2206’s interface. See Section 5.2.2 on page 28. This is the more secure method, since one device can authenticate the other. Note: The wireless client must be a WPS-aware device (for example, a WPS USB adapter or PCI card). 5.2.1 Push Button Configuration (PBC) This section gives you an example of how to set up a wireless network using WPS PBC. This example uses the WRE2206 as the registrar and NWD210N as the wireless client in a notebook. Make sure that your WRE2206 is turned on and that it is within range of your computer. WRE2206 User’s Guide 26 Chapter 5 Tutorials Make sure that you have installed the wireless client (this example uses the NWD210N) driver and utility in your notebook. In the wireless client utility, find the WPS settings. Enable WPS and press the WPS button (St a r t or W PS button) Log into WRE2206’s Web Configurator and navigate to the N e t w or k > W ir e le ss LAN > W PS St a t ion screen. In the WRE2206’s Web Configurator, select Re gist r a r in Config M ode and then press St a r t PBC. Note: Your WRE2206 has a WPS button, as well as a St a r t PBC button in the Web Configurator. Both buttons have exactly the same function; you can use one or the other. Note: It doesn’t matter whether you press the button on the WRE2206 or the wireless client first. WPS times out after two minutes of pressing a button. Press the button on the second device within about a minute of the first, then wait two minutes for the WPS configuration to complete. The WRE2206 sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WRE2206 securely. The following figure shows an example of how to set up wireless network and security by pressing a button on both WRE2206 and wireless client (the NWD210N in this example). Figure 16 Example WPS Process: PBC Method WRE2206 Wireless Client WITHIN 1 MINUTE SECURITY INFO COMMUNICATION WRE2206 User’s Guide 27 Chapter 5 Tutorials 5.2.2 PIN Configuration When you use the PIN configuration method, you need to use both WRE2206’s configuration interface and the client’s utilities. Launch your wireless client’s configuration utility. Go to the WPS settings and select the PIN method to get a PIN number. On the WRE2206, navigate to the N e t w or k > W ir e le ss LAN > W PS St a t ion screen. In the WRE2206’s Web Configurator, select Re gist r a r in Config M ode . In the WRE2206’s Web Configurator, enter the PIN number in the I nput clie nt PI N code . Click the St a r t buttons (or the buttons next to the PIN fields) on both the wireless client utility screen and the WRE2206’s W PS St a t ion screen within about one minute, then wait two minutes for the WPS configuration to complete. The WRE2206 authenticates the wireless client and sends the proper configuration settings to the wireless client. Then the wireless client is able to communicate with the WRE2206 securely. The following figure shows an example of how to set up wireless network and security on WRE2206 and wireless client (ex. NWD210N in this example) by using PIN method. 28 WRE2206 User’s Guide Chapter 5 Tutorials Figure 17 Example WPS Process: PIN Method Wireless Client WRE2206 WITHIN 1 MINUTE Authentication by PIN SECURITY INFO COMMUNICATION 5.3 Connecting the WRE2206 to an AP This section gives you an example of how to connect the WRE2206 to an AP.

See Section 1.1 on page 9 for an overview of wireless networks. 6.2 What You Can Do • Use the Ge n e r a l screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode (Section 6.4 on page 40). • Use the M AC Addr e ss List screen to allow or deny wireless stations based on their MAC addresses from connecting to the WRE2206 (Section 6.5 on page 41). • Use the Adva nce d screen to allow intra-BSS networking and set the RTS/CTS Threshold (Section 6.6 on page 42). • Use the QoS screen to enable Wifi MultiMedia Quality of Service (WMM QoS). WMM QoS prioritizes traffic using pre-defined voice, video, best-effort and background priorities (Section 6.7 on page 43). • Use the W PS screen to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually (Section 6.8 on page 43). • Use the W PS St a t ion screen to add a wireless station using WPS (Section 6.9 on page 44). • Use the AP Se le ct screen to choose an access point that you want the WRE2206 to connect to. You should know the security settings of the target AP (Section 6.10 on page 45). 6.3 What You Should Know Every wireless network must follow these basic guidelines. • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use the same SSID. The SSID is the name of the wireless network. It stands for Service Set IDentity. • If two wireless networks overlap, they should use different channels. Like radio stations or television channels, each wireless network uses a specific channel, or frequency, to send and receive information. • Every wireless client in the same wireless network must use security compatible with the AP. Security stops unauthorized devices from using the wireless network. It can also protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. WRE2206 User’s Guide 38 Chapter 6 Wireless LAN 6.3.1 Wireless Security Overview The following sections introduce different types of wireless security you can set up in the wireless network. 6.3.1.1 MAC Address List Every wireless client has a unique identification number, called a MAC address.1 A MAC address is usually written using twelve hexadecimal characters2; for example, 00A0C5000002 or 00:A0:C5:00:00:02. To get the MAC address for each wireless client, see the appropriate User’s Guide or other documentation. You can use the MAC Address List to tell the AP which wireless clients are allowed to use the wireless network. If a wireless client is allowed to use the wireless network, it still has to have the correct settings (SSID, channel, and security). If a wireless client is not allowed to use the wireless network, it does not matter if it has the correct settings. This type of security does not protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Furthermore, there are ways for unauthorized devices to get the MAC address of an authorized wireless client. Then, they can use that MAC address to use the wireless network. 6.3.1.2 Encryption Wireless networks can use encryption to protect the information that is sent in the wireless network. Encryption is like a secret code. If you do not know the secret code, you cannot understand the message. Table 11 Types of Encryption for Each Type of Authentication NO AUTHENTICATION W e a k e st No Security Static WEP WPA-PSK St r on ge st WPA2-PSK For example, if users do not log in to the wireless network, you can choose no authentication, if users do log on to the wireless network, you can choose No Security, St a t ic W EP, W PA- PSK, or W PA2 - PSK. Usually, you should set up the strongest encryption that every wireless client in the wireless network supports. Suppose the wireless network has two wireless clients. Device A only supports WEP, and device B supports WEP and WPA-PSK. Therefore, you should set up St a t ic W EP in the wireless network. Note: It is recommended that wireless networks use WPA-PSK, or stronger encryption. IEEE 802.1x and WEP encryption are better than none at all, but it is still possible for unauthorized devices to figure out the original information pretty quickly. 1. Some wireless devices, such as scanners, can detect wireless networks but cannot use wireless networks. These kinds of wireless devices might not have MAC addresses. 2. Hexadecimal characters are 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, A, B, C, D, E, and F. WRE2206 User’s Guide 39 Chapter 6 Wireless LAN Many types of encryption use a key to protect the information in the wireless network. The longer the key, the stronger the encryption. Every wireless client in the wireless network must have the same key. 6.3.1.3 WPS WiFi Protected Setup (WPS) is an industry standard specification, defined by the WiFi Alliance. WPS allows you to quickly set up a wireless network with strong security, without having to configure security settings manually. Depending on the devices in your network, you can either press a button (on the device itself, or in its configuration utility) or enter a PIN (Personal Identification Number) in the devices. Then, they connect and set up a secure network by themselves. See how to set up a secure wireless network using WPS in the Section 5.2 on page 26. 6.4 General Wireless LAN Screen Use this screen to enable the Wireless LAN, enter the SSID and select the wireless security mode. Note: If you are configuring the WRE2206 from a computer connected to the wireless LAN and you change the WRE2206’s SSID, channel or security settings, you will lose your wireless connection when you press Apply to confirm.

WRE2206 User’s Guide 56 Chapter 10 Troubleshooting 10.2 WRE2206 Access and Login I don’t know the IP address of my WRE2206. Click St a r t > Run , enter cm d, and then enter Pin g zyx e lse t u p. You can find the MAC address on a label on the WRE2206. The default URL is ht t p:/ / z yx e lse t up. The default IP address is 192.168.1.2. If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, you might get the IP address of the WRE2206 by looking up the IP address of the default gateway for your computer. To do this in most Windows computers, click St a r t > Run , enter cm d, and then enter ipconfig. The IP address of the D e fa ult Ga t e w a y might be the IP address of the WRE2206 (it depends on the network), so enter this IP address in your Internet browser. Login (see the Quick Start Guide for instructions) and go to the D e vice I nfor m a t ion table in the St a t u s screen. Your WRE2206’s IP address is available in the D e vice I nfor m a t ion table. • If the D H CP setting under LAN in for m a t ion is N on e , your device has a fixed IP address. • If the D H CP setting under LAN infor m a t ion is Clie n t , then your device receives an IP address from a DHCP server on the network. If your WRE2206 is a DHCP client, you can find your IP address from the DHCP server. This information is only available from the DHCP server which allocates IP addresses on your network. Find this information directly from the DHCP server or contact your system administrator for more information. Reset your WRE2206 to change all settings back to their default. This means your current settings are lost. See Section 10.4 on page 60 in the Tr ouble shoot ing for information on resetting your WRE2206. I forgot the username and password. The default username is a dm in and default password is 1 2 3 4 . If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 10.4 on page 60. I cannot see or access the Login screen in the Web Configurator. Make sure you are using the correct URL and IP address. • The default URL is http://zyxelsetup. The default IP address is 192.168.1.2. • If you changed the IP address, use the new IP address. WRE2206 User’s Guide 57 Chapter 10 Troubleshooting • If you changed the IP address and have forgotten it, see the troubleshooting suggestions for I don’t know the IP address of my WRE2206. Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide. Make sure your Internet browser does not block pop-up windows and has JavaScript and Java enabled. Make sure your computer is in the same subnet as the WRE2206. (If you know that there are routers between your computer and the WRE2206, skip this step.) • If there is a DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer is using a dynamic IP address. • If there is no DHCP server on your network, make sure your computer’s IP address is in the same subnet as the WRE2206. Reset the device to its factory defaults, and try to access the WRE2206 with the default IP address. If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions. Adva n ce d Sugge st ions • If your computer is connected wirelessly, use a computer that is connected to a LAN /ETH ERN ET port. I can see the Login screen, but I cannot log in to the WRE2206. Make sure you have entered the password correctly. The default username is a dm in and default password is 1 2 3 4 . This field is case-sensitive, so make sure [Caps Lock] is not on. This can happen when you fail to log out properly from your last session. Try logging in again after 5 minutes. Disconnect and re-connect the power adaptor or cord to the WRE2206. If this does not work, you have to reset the device to its factory defaults. See Section 10.4 on page 60. 10.3 Internet Access I cannot access the Internet. 58 Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide. WRE2206 User’s Guide Chapter 10 Troubleshooting Try to connect directly to the AP. If you can access the Internet, check that the WRE2206 has associated with the AP by checking the W LAN STA I nfor m a t ion SSID field shows the SSID of the AP. See Section 6.4 on page 40. If you are trying to access the Internet wirelessly, make sure the wireless settings in the wireless client are the same as the settings in the AP. Disconnect all the cables from your device, and follow the directions in the Quick Start Guide again. If the problem continues, contact your ISP. I cannot access the Internet anymore. I had access to the Internet (with the WRE2206), but my Internet connection is not available anymore. Check the hardware connections, and make sure the LEDs are behaving as expected. See the Quick Start Guide and Section 1.3 on page 10. Reboot the WRE2206. Try to connect directly to the AP. If you can access the Internet, check that the WRE2206 has associated with the AP by checking the W LAN STA I nfor m a t ion SSID field shows the SSID of the AP. See Section 6.4 on page 40. If the problem continues, contact your ISP. The Internet connection is slow or intermittent. There might be a lot of traffic on the network. Look at the LEDs, and check Section 1.3 on page 10. If the WRE2206 is sending or receiving a lot of information, try closing some programs that use the Internet, especially peer-to-peer applications. Check the signal strength. If the signal strength is low, try moving the WRE2206 closer to the AP if possible, and look around to see if there are any devices that might be interfering with the wireless network (for example, microwaves, other wireless networks, and so on). Reboot the WRE2206. If the problem continues, contact the network administrator or vendor, or try one of the advanced suggestions. Adva n ce d Sugge st ion • Check the settings for QoS. If it is disabled, you might consider activating it. WRE2206 User’s Guide 59 Chapter 10 Troubleshooting 10.4 Resetting the WRE2206 to Its Factory Defaults If you reset the WRE2206, you lose all of the changes you have made. The WRE2206 re-loads its default settings, and the username/password resets to a dm in /1 2 3 4 . You have to make all of your changes again. You will lose all of your changes when you reset the WRE2206 to its factory defaults. To reset the WRE2206, Make sure the power LED is on. Press the W PS button for longer than 10 seconds to set the WRE2206 back to its factory-default configuration. OR Click M a in t e na n ce > Tools > Re st a r t and then click Re st a r t . If the WRE2206 restarts automatically, wait for the WRE2206 to finish restarting, and log in to the Web Configurator. The username is a dm in and password is 1 2 3 4 . If the WRE2206 does not restart automatically, disconnect and reconnect the WRE2206’s power. Then, follow the directions above again. 10.5 Wireless Problems I cannot access the WRE2206 or ping any computer from the WLAN. 60 Make sure the wireless LAN is enabled on the WRE2206.
