This Wireless Broadband Router is a multi-function device featuring a wireless Access Point, 4-port LAN switch and a WAN port, which extends the existing broadband Cable/ADSL connection. It allows the Internet connection to be shared through either the 54Mbps Access Point feature or the 10/100Base-TX Ethernet switch, which also eliminates the purchase of additional hub or switch. Now the wired and wireless networks are integrated to enjoy various bandwidth-consuming applications over the Internet. With the support of new emerged 802.11g standard, the Access Point provides data transfer of up to 54 Mbps, up to 5 times faster than 802.11b. Since 802.11g standard is on the same frequency of 2.4 GHz as 802.11b, it is backwards compatible with existing Wi-Fi 802.11b devices. The benefit is that you can preserve the existing 802.11b infrastructure while migrating to the new screaming fast 802.11g. This router has a DHCP server that automatically assigns IP addresses to your LAN or WLAN devices. With the built-in Network Address Translation (NAT) function, your LAN/WLAN can access the Internet through a single external IP address and at the same time that is protected against outside intruders. The router can also be configured to filter internal access to the Internet. It is designed to provide a reliable Internet access solution for the corporate environment as well as the small office home office (SOHO). 1 Wireless Broadband Router User Manual 1.2 Features WAN Port Features PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet) Client with Keep Alive/Connect On Demand Support PAP and CHAP Authentication DHCP Client Static IP Connection PPTP Connection (Europe) MAC Address Cloning Settable and Changeable IP Address LAN Port Features DHCP Server Settable and Changeable IP Address Router Features IP Filtering, IP Forwarding NAT Firewall Support Bridge Mode Support 802.1D Bridging DMZ Hosting DNS Forwarding UPnP Support Microsoft NetMeeting Passthrough Support Microsoft XP Messenger Passthrough Support Security Features PAP and CHAP Authentication ASCII/HEX Format 64/128 Bit WEP Key for Wireless LAN Supports IP packets filtering based on IP address, Port 2 1.

AES: AES is a new encryption technique based on the un-ratified 802.11i standard. New WPA standard are being considered using AES. Although AES is not as popular, some users may prefer to use this technique. No matter what encryption technique you use, all networks devices must use the same technique. Note 31 Wireless Broadband Router User Manual After selecting the Encryption Technique you want to use, type in the password to the Pre-shared Key (PSK) field. Format ASCII Hexadecimal Minimum Characters Maximum Characters 8 8 63 64 1. The password is distinction between uppercase and lowercase. Note 2. The same PSK must also be used for every other wireless network device on the network. Figure 4-15 WPA-PSK

WEP This mode includes 128bit WEP and 64bit WEP described as below:

Key Length HEX Format 64 Bit 128 Bit 10 hexadecimal digits 26 hexadecimal digits ASCII Format 5 ASCII characters 13 ASCII characters 32 4. Web Configuration 1. If you have defined a WEP key on the router, you have to make this key known to the network adapters on the PCs that are to be logged on your router. Otherwise it will not be possible to set up a connection between the PC and your router. 2. The encryption depth (64 or 128 bits) must be the same on the router and on the wireless network adapters of the PCs. Note Figure 4-16 WEP 64bit and 128bit

WPA Encryption Technique: Include TKIP and AES; both of them are Only for WPA and WPA-PSK. Please refer to WPA-PSK for more information. Radius Server: For 802.1X and WPA only. Enter the IP Address of the authentication server, commonly the Radius server. Radius Port: Enter the port number of the authentication server. The default port number is 1812. Radius Key: Enter the same key as the Radius servers. Re-Key Interval: Specify the timer the WPA key must changes. The change is done automatically between the server and the client. 33 Wireless Broadband Router User Manual Figure 4-17 WAP 34 4.

Figure 4-38 Auto Update Firmware Enabling 46 5 Troubleshooting I cannot access the Web-based Configuration Utility from the Ethernet computer used to configure the router. Check that the LAN LED is on. If the LED is not on, check the cable for the LAN connection is firmly connected. Check whether the computer resides on the same subnet with the routers LAN IP address. If the computer act as a DHCP client, check whether the computer has been assigned an IP address from the DHCP server. If not, you will need to renew the IP address. Use the ping command to ping the routers LAN IP address to verify the connection. Make sure your browser is not configured to use a proxy server. Check that the IP address you entered is correct. If the routers LAN IP address has been changed, you should enter the reassigned IP address instead. I can browse the routers Web-based Configuration Utility but cannot access the Internet. Check the WAN LED is ON. If not, check the physical connection between the router and the DSL/Cable modem is firmly connected. Also ensure the DSL/Cable modem is working properly. If WAN LED is ON, open the System Overview page of the Web configuration utility and check the status group to see if the routers WAN port has successfully obtained an IP address. Make sure you are use the correction method (DHCP client, PPPoE client or Manual Config) as required by the ISP. Also ensure you have entered correct settings provided by the ISP. 47 Wireless Broadband Router User Manual For cable users, if you ISP required a fixed Ethernet card MAC address, make sure you have cloned the network adapters MAC address to the WAN port of the router.

(See the MAC Address field in WAN page.) My wireless client cannot communicate with another Ethernet computer. Ensure the wireless adapter functions properly. You may open the Device Manager in Windows to see if the adapter is proper installed. Make sure the wireless client uses the same SSID and security settings (if enabled) as the Wireless Broadband Router. Ensure that the wireless adapters TCP/IP settings are correct as required by your network administrator. If you are using a 802.11b wireless adapter, check that the 54g Mode item, in Wireless LAN (2.4G) page, is not configured to use 54g Performace. Use the ping command to verify the wireless clients communication with the routers LAN port and with the remote computer. If the wireless client can successfully ping the routers LAN port but fails to ping the opposite computer, then verify the TCP/IP settings of the opposite computer. 48 6 Specification 6.1 Hardware Broadcom BCM4712 CPU 8MB SDRAM 2MB Flash Memory 802.11g: Broadcom (BCM2050) Two external antennas Modulation Techniques: DBPSK, DQPSK, CCK, 16QAM, 64QAM Modulation Technology: OFDM, DSSS Wireless Data Rate:
