The router is now running with the new settings. If all information entered is correct, you can access the Internet now. Attention DSL Users: While PPPoE is the most common way to connect to DSL Internet Service, it still may be necessary to enable "Cable Modem" in the Broadband settings. Below are a few examples for using "Cable Modem" instead of "xdsl PPPoE", even if your Internet Service is a DSL service. Your ISP has provided you with a so-called 'Modem-Router' instead of a simple "Modem" You ISP has not given you a username and password for PPPoE login (implying that it is not required) When your computer is connected directly to the modem, the Computer obtains an IP address which is in the private IP network range ( xxx.yyy, 10.xxx.yyy, xxx.yyy) You can connect to the Internet with your computer connected directly to the modem without using a dialer program asking for a username and password If your attempts to utilize xdsl/pppoe fail repeatedly you should activate "Cable Modem" as a troubleshooting step.

57 Click 'Continue' to go back to the previous setup menu and to continue with the router setup. Click 'Apply' to reboot the router so the settings will take effect. Please wait for about 30 seconds while the router is rebooting Setup procedure for 'DDNS': DDNS (Dynamic DNS) is an IP-to-Hostname mapping service for those Internet users who don't have a static (fixed) IP address. It will be a problem when a user wants to provide services to other users on the Internet, because their IP addresses will vary every time they connect, and they will not be able to know the IP address they're using at a certain time. This router supports the DDNS service of several service providers, for example: DynDNS ( TZO ( Go to one of the DDNS service provider's Webpages listed above, and get a free DDNS account using the instructions on their Web page.

58 Items and meanings: 6 Dynamic DNS (1): If you want to enable the DDNS function, select 'Enabled'; otherwise select 'Disabled'. Provider (2): Domain Name (3): Account / (4): Select your DDNS service provider here. Input the domain name you've obtained from DDNS service provider.

Please wait for about 30 seconds while the router is rebooting.

59 2-6 LAN Configuration This section deals with the IP Address settings of the local network. Normally there is no need to make any changes here. The default values work fine for most applications; you can skip this chapter and go directly to 2-7 WLAN configuration. There are two ways to assign IP addresses to computers: static IP address (set the IP address for every computer manually), and dynamic IP address (IP address of computers will be assigned by the router automatically). It's recommended for most of the computers to use a dynamic IP address, as it will save a lot of time when setting IP addresses for every computer, especially when there are a lot of computers in your network. For servers and network devices which will provide services to other computer and users that come from the Internet, a static IP address should be used, so other computers can locate the server. Suggestions on IP address numbering plan: If you have no idea how to define an IP address plan for your network, here are some suggestions. 1. A valid IP address has 4 fields: a.b.c.d for most home and company users, it s suggested to use c.d, where c is an integer between 0 and 254, and d is an integer between 1 and 254. This router is able to work with up to 253 clients, so you can set the d field of the IP address of the router as 1 or 254 (or any number between 1 and 254), and pick a number between 0 and 254 for field c. 2. In most cases, you should use as the subnet mask, which allows up to 253 clients (this also meets the router s capability of working with up to 253 clients). 3. For all servers and network devices which will provide services to other people (like Internet service, print service, and file service), they should use a static IP address. Give each of them a unique number between 1 and 253, and maintain a list, so everyone can locate those servers easily. 4. For computers which are not dedicated to providing specific service to others, they should use a dynamic IP address. If you don t really understand the descriptions listed above, don t worry! We will provide recommended setup values below.

60 Follow the following instructions to set wired LAN parameters: Click the 'LAN' menu on the left of the Web management interface. There are three setup groups here: 'LAN IP', 'DHCP Server', and 'Static DHCP Leases Table'. Here are setup instructions for each of them: LAN IP section: Items and meanings: IP address (1): Subnet Mask (2): Enter the IP address of this router. Enter the subnet mask for this network d If you wish to activate the 802.1d spanning tree Spanning Tree (3): function, select 'Enabled' for setup item '802.1d Spanning Tree', or set it to 'Disabled'. DHCP Server (4): If you want to activate the DHCP server function of this router, select 'Enabled', or set it to 'Disabled'. Recommended values if you don t know what to enter: IP Address: Subnet Mask: d Spanning Tree: Disabled DHCP Server: Enabled

61 2-6-2 DHCP Server: These settings are only available when 'DHCP Server' in the 'LAN IP' section is 'Enabled', and here are descriptions for the setup items: Lease Time (1): Start IP (2): End IP (3): Domain Name (4): Choose a lease time (the duration that every computer can keep a specific IP address) from dropdown menu of every IP address assigned by this router. Enter the start IP address of the IP range. Enter the end IP address of the IP range. If you wish, you can also input the domain name for your network. This is optional. Recommended values if you don t know what to enter: Lease Time: Two Weeks (or Forever, if you have fewer than 20 computers) Start IP: End IP: Domain Name: (leave it blank) NOTE: 1. The number of the last field ( d field) of End IP must be greater than Start IP, and can not be the same as the router s IP address. 2. The former three fields of the IP address of Start IP, End IP, and IP Address of LAN IP section ( a, b, and c fields) should be the same. 3. These settings will affect wireless clients, too.

62 2-6-3 Static DHCP Leases Table: This function allows you to assign a static IP address to a specific computer forever, so you don't have to set the IP address for a computer, but you can still enjoy the benefit of using a DHCP server. A maximum of 16 static IP addresses can be assigned here. (If you set 'Lease Time' to 'forever' in the 'DHCP Server' section, you can also assign an IP address to a specific computer permanently; however, you will not be able to assign a certain IP address to a specific computer, since IP addresses will be assigned in random order this way) Items and meanings: Enable Static DHCP Leases (1): MAC Address (2): IP address (3): 'Add' (4): Check this box to enable this function, or uncheck it to disable this function. Input the MAC address of the computer or network device (a total of 12 characters, with numerals from 0 to 9, and characters from a to f, like '001122aabbcc'). Input the IP address you want to assign to this computer or network device. After you input the MAC address and IP address pair, click this button to add the pair to the static DHCP leases table. If you want to remove all the characters you just entered, click 'Clear'. After you click 'Add', the MAC address and IP address mapping will be added to the 'Static DHCP Leases Table' section.

63 If you want to delete a specific item, check the 'Select' box of a MAC address and IP address mapping (1), then click the 'Delete Selected' button (2); if you want to delete all mappings, click 'Delete All' (3). If you want to deselect all mappings, click 'Reset' (4). Click 'Apply' to save the settings. Click 'Continue' to go back to the previous setup menu and to continue with the router setup. Click 'Apply' to reboot the router so the settings will take effect. Please wait for about 30 seconds while the router is rebooting.

64 2-7 Wireless LAN Configuration If your computer, PDA, game console, or other network devices equipped with a wireless network interface, you can use the wireless function of this router to connect to the Internet and share resources with other computers on your network. We strongly recommend you use the built-in security functions to protect your network from intruders. The following pages describe the wireless configuration. Click the 'Wireless' menu on the left of the Web management interface to open the wireless settings page. Here you can enable or disable the wireless radio of the router. By default, the wireless functionality is enabled. Click the 'Apply' button to save your settings. Click 'Apply' to save the settings. Click 'Continue' to go back to the previous setup menu and to continue with the router setup. Click 'Apply' to reboot the router so the settings will take effect. Please wait for about 30 seconds while the router is rebooting.

65 2-7-1 Basic Wireless Settings Click the 'Wireless' menu on the left of the Web management interface, then click 'Basic Settings' and the following screen appears: Band: 2.4 GHz (B) 2.4 GHz band, only allows an b wireless network client to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 11Mbps). 2.4 GHz (N) 2.4 GHz band, only allows an n wireless network client to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 300Mbps). 2.4 GHz (B+G) 2.4 GHz band, only allows a802.11b and g wireless network clients to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate 11Mbps for b clients, and maximum 54Mbps for g clients). 2.4 GHz (G) 2.4 GHz band, only allows an g wireless network client to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 54Mbps). 2.4 GHz (B+G+N) 2.4 GHz band, allows b, g, and n wireless network clients to connect to this router (maximum transfer rate of 11 Mbps for b clients, maximum of 54 Mbps for g clients, and a maximum of 300 Mbps for n clients). NOTE: Choose 2.4 GHz (B+G+N) for maximum wireless client compatibility.

66 ESSID: Enter the name for your wireless network. You may choose to leave the default value, but you can adjust the value to make identification in areas with different Wireless networks easier; e.g., to differentiate your wireless network from that of your neighbors. Channel Number (4): Select a channel from the dropdown list of 'Channel Number'. Available channel numbers are 1 to 13 for European countries, 1 to 11 for USA. You can choose any of these channels. Associated Clients (5): Click the 'Show Active Clients' button to see the status of all active wireless stations that are connected to the access point. You can try to change the channel number if you think the data transfer rate is too slow. There could be interference from other wireless networks in the area using the same channel, and the cross-talk between the two networks reduces the wireless data transfer rate. Ideally, you want to set your channel to a value which leaves at least two channels spaced between the two networks, three is even better. Example: The wireless network of the neighbor runs on Channel 3. You should set your channel to at least Channel 6. It is also possible for a handheld phone in your household to cause interference with the wireless signal. In such a case, changing the channel by two or three numbers often resolves the problem.
