How to check that your computer uses a dynamic IP address. Static IP users can also temporarily modify your computers IP address to be in the same IP address subnet e.g. 192.168.2.x (x = 3 254) as the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3 in order to access http://Edimax.Setup. The BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3s default IP address is 192.168.2.1. The procedure for modifying your IP address varies across different operating systems; please follow the guide appropriate for your operating system in IV-1-2. How to modify the IP address of your computer. Static IP users please make a note of your static IP before you change it. You can assign a new IP address to the device which is within the subnet of your network during setup or using the browser based configuration interface

(refer to III-3-4. LAN). Then you can access the URL http://Edimax.Setup in future without modifying your IP address. Please remember to change your IP address back to its original value after the device is properly configured. 104 IV-1-1.

Its important to choose a good location for the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3 in relation to your existing wireless router. The best location is roughly in the middle between your existing wireless router and the area you would like to be covered by the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3. If you are too far away from your existing router, then it is difficult for the BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3 to receive a wireless signal. 147 7. Do the WAN and LAN ports work the same when the device is in different modes?

No, the WAN and LAN ports have slightly different functions depending on the operating mode of the device. a. In Wi-Fi router mode, the WAN port is for a direct connection to your xDSL modem. The LAN ports are for wired network clients. b. In access point mode, the WAN port is not functional. Connect your existing router to the devices LAN port, and the other LAN ports can connect wired network clients. c. In range extender mode, the WAN port is not functional and the LAN ports are for wired network clients. Do not connect your existing router to the devices WAN or LAN ports, as this can cause the device to malfunction. 8. My network is configured to use static IP addresses. How can I assign a static IP address to my BR-6428nS V3/BR-6228nS V3?

a. You can modify the devices IP address using the browser based configuration interface. Please refer to III-3-4. LAN. 148 IV-4. Glossary Default Gateway (Wireless bridge): Every non-access point IP device needs to configure a default gateways IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. DHCP: Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. This protocol automatically gives every computer on your home network an IP address. DNS Server IP Address: DNS stands for Domain Name System, which allows Internet servers to have a domain name (such as www.Broadbandaccess point.com) and one or more IP addresses (such as 192.34.45.8). A DNS server keeps a database of Internet servers and their respective domain names and IP addresses, so that when a domain name is requested (as in typing

"Broadbandaccess point.com" into your Internet browser), the user is sent to the proper IP address. The DNS server IP address used by the computers on your home network is the location of the DNS server your ISP has assigned to you. DSL Modem: DSL stands for Digital Subscriber Line. A DSL modem uses your existing phone lines to transmit data at high speeds. Ethernet: A standard for computer networks. Ethernet networks are connected by special cables and hubs, and move data around at up to 10/100 million bits per second (Mbps). IP Address and Network (Subnet) Mask: IP stands for Internet Protocol. An IP address consists of a series of four numbers separated by periods, that identifies a single, unique Internet computer host in an IP network. Example:

192.168.2.1. It consists of 2 portions: the IP network address, and the host identifier. The IP address is a 32-bit binary pattern, which can be represented as four cascaded decimal numbers separated by .: aaa.aaa.aaa.aaa, where each aaa can be anything from 000 to 255, or as four cascaded binary numbers separated by .: bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb.bbbbbbbb, where each b can either be 0 or 1. 149 A network mask is also a 32-bit binary pattern, and consists of consecutive leading 1s followed by consecutive trailing 0s, such as 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000. Therefore sometimes a network mask can also be described simply as x number of leading 1s. When both are represented side by side in their binary forms, all bits in the IP address that correspond to 1s in the network mask become part of the IP network address, and the remaining bits correspond to the host ID. For example, if the IP address for a device is, in its binary form, 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000111, and if its network mask is, 11111111.11111111.11110000.00000000 It means the devices network address is 11011001.10110000.10010000.00000000, and its host ID is, 00000000.00000000.00000000.00000111. This is a convenient and efficient method for access points to route IP packets to their destination. ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet access point located at the ISP's office. ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations. LAN: Local Area Network. A LAN is a group of computers and devices connected together in a relatively small area (such as a house or an office). Your home network is considered a LAN. MAC Address: MAC stands for Media Access Control. A MAC address is the hardware address of a device connected to a network. The MAC address is a unique identifier for a device with an Ethernet interface. It is comprised of two parts: 3 bytes of data that corresponds to the Manufacturer ID (unique for each manufacturer), plus 3 bytes that are often used as the products serial number. NAT: Network Address Translation. This process allows all of the computers on your home network to use one IP address. Using the broadband access points NAT capability, you can access the Internet from any computer on your home network without having to purchase more IP addresses from your ISP. Port: Network Clients (LAN PC) uses port numbers to distinguish one network application/protocol over another. Below is a list of common applications and protocol/port numbers:

150 23 21 25 110 1720 161 162 80 1723 5631 5632 Application Protocol Port Number TCP Telnet TCP FTP TCP SMTP TCP POP3 TCP H.323 SNMP UCP SNMP Trap UDP TCP HTTP PPTP TCP PC Anywhere TCP PC Anywhere UDP Access point: A access point is an intelligent network device that forwards packets between different networks based on network layer address information such as IP addresses. Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC). TCP/IP, UDP: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and Unreliable Datagram Protocol (UDP). TCP/IP is the standard protocol for data transmission over the Internet. Both TCP and UDP are transport layer protocol. TCP performs proper error detection and error recovery, and thus is reliable. UDP on the other hand is not reliable. They both run on top of the IP (Internet Protocol), a network layer protocol. WAN: Wide Area Network. A network that connects computers located in geographically separate areas (e.g. different buildings, cities, countries). The Internet is a wide area network. Web-based management Graphical User Interface (GUI): Many devices support a graphical user interface that is based on the web browser. This means the user can use the familiar Netscape or Microsoft Internet Explorer to Control/configure or monitor the device being managed. 151 COPYRIGHT Copyright Edimax Technology Co., Ltd. all rights reserved.
