COMPLIANCES
Federal Communication Commission Interference
Statement
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to
provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential
installation. This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no
guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which
can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to
try to correct the interference by one of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the
receiver is connected
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help
FCC Caution: To assure continued compliance, (example - use only shielded
interface cables when connecting to computer or peripheral devices) any changes
or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance
could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. This device complies
with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
(1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must
accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired
operation.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
This equipment complies with FCC radiation exposure limits set forth for an
uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a
minimum distance of 20 centimeters (8 inches) between the radiator and your
body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any
other antenna or transmitter.

that you have all the necessary cabling before installing the
Wireless 11g Router. After installing the Wireless 11g Router,
refer to the web-based configuration program in “Configuring the
Wireless 11g Router” on page 28 for information on configuring
the Wireless 11g Router.
Package Contents
After unpacking the Wireless 11g Router, check the contents of
the box to be sure you have received the following components:
•Wireless 11g Router
•Power adapter
•One CAT-5 Ethernet cable
•Four rubber feet
•Installation CD containing this User Guide and EZ 3-Click

Hardware Description
The Wireless 11g Router can be connected to the Internet or to a
remote site using its RJ-45 WAN port. It can be connected
directly to your PC or to a local area network using any of the
Fast Ethernet LAN ports or wireless interface.
Access speed to the Internet depends on your service type.
Full-rate ADSL can provide up to 8 Mbps downstream and
640 Kbps upstream. G.lite (or splitterless) ADSL provides up to
1.5 Mbps downstream and 512 Kbps upstream. Cable modems
can provide up to 36 Mbps downstream and 2 Mbps upstream.
ISDN can provide up to 128 Kbps when using two bearer
channels. PSTN analog connections can now run up to 56 Kbps.
However, you should note that the actual rate provided by
specific service providers may vary dramatically from these
upper limits.
Although access speed to the Internet is determined by the
modem type connected to the Wireless 11g Router, data passing
between devices connected to your local area network can run
up to 100 Mbps over the Fast Ethernet ports.
The Wireless 11g Router includes an LED display on the front
panel for system power and port indications that simplifies
installation and network troubleshooting. It also provides four
RJ-45 LAN ports and one RJ-45 WAN port on the rear panel.
•4 RJ-45 ports for connection to a 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX
Ethernet Local Area Network (LAN). These ports can
auto-negotiate the operating speed to 10/100 Mbps, the mode
to half/full duplex, and the pin signals to MDI/MDI-X
(i.e., allowing these ports to be connected to any network
device with straight-through cable). These ports can be
connected directly to a PC or to a server equipped with an
Ethernet network interface card, or to a networking device
such as an Ethernet hub or switch.

•One RJ-45 port for connection to a DSL or cable modem
(WAN). This port also auto-negotiates operating speed to
10/100 Mbps, the mode to half/full duplex, and the pin signals
to MDI/MDI-X.

DNS server address from your service provider.
•A computer equipped with a 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, or
10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet card, or a USB-to-Ethernet
converter.
•TCP/IP network protocol installed on each PC that needs to
access the Internet.
•A web browser, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or
above installed on one PC at your site for configuring the
Wireless 11g Router.

Connect the System
The Wireless 11g Router can be positioned at any convenient
location in your office or home. No special wiring or cooling
requirements are needed. You should, however comply with the
following guidelines:
•Keep the Wireless 11g Router away from any heating devices.
•Do not place the Wireless 11g Router in a dusty or wet
environment.
You should also remember to turn off the power, remove the
power cord from the outlet, and keep your hands dry when you
install the Wireless 11g Router.
Basic Installation Procedure
1. Connect the LAN: Connect the Wireless 11g Router to your
PC, or to a hub or switch. Run Ethernet cable from one of the
LAN ports on the rear of the Wireless 11g Router to your
computer’s network adapter or to another network device.
You may also connect the Wireless 11g Router to your PC
(using a wireless client adapter) via radio signals. Position
both antennas on the back of the Wireless 11g Router into
the desired positions. For more effective coverage, position
the antennas along different axex. For example, try
positioning the antennas around 45 to 90 degress apart. (The
antennas emit signals along the toroidal plane – and
thus provide more effective coverage when positioned
along different axes.)
2. Connect the WAN: Prepare an Ethernet cable for connecting
the Wireless 11g Router
to a cable/xDSL modem or Ethernet
router.

Attach to Your Network Using Ethernet Cabling
The four LAN ports on the Wireless 11g Router auto-negotiate
the connection speed to 10 Mbps Ethernet or 100 Mbps Fast
Ethernet, and the transmission mode to half duplex or full duplex.
Use twisted-pair cable to connect any of the four LAN ports on
the Wireless 11g Router to an Ethernet adapter on your PC.
Otherwise, you can cascade any of the LAN ports on the
Wireless 11g Router to an Ethernet hub or switch, and then
connect your PC or other network equipment to the hub or
switch. When inserting an RJ-45 plug, be sure the tab on the plug
clicks into position to ensure that it is properly seated.
Warning: Do not plug a phone jack connector into any RJ-45
port. This may damage the Wireless 11g Router.
Instead, use only twisted-pair cables with RJ-45
connectors that conform with FCC standards.
