The Hardware Installation
System Requirements
Before installing the AW-GR520, make sure your system satisfies the following requirements.
Desktop or Laptop with an Ethernet port
Browser-Internet Explorer 5.5 or Firefox 1.0 above
Wired or Wireless Network Adapter
CD-ROM Drive
Hardware Installation
The AW-GR520 package comes together with a Non-detachable type-antenna to maximize
its network operating range.
1. Make sure that all of your hardware is powered off, including the broadband modem and
PCs.
2. Connect your broadband modem’s Ethernet cable to the Router’s Internet port.
3. Connect one end of an Ethernet network cable to one of the numbered ports on the back
of the Router. Connect the other end to an Ethernet port on a network device, e.g., a PC,
print server, or switch. Repeat this step to connect more PCs or other network devices to the
Router.
4. Power on the broadband modem.
5. Connect the included power adapter to the Router’s Power port, and then plug the power
adapter into an electrical outlet. 6. Power on your PC(s).
7. Locate an optimum location for the Router. The best place for the Router is usually at the
center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your wireless devices.
Operating Range
The signal range of AW-GR520 varies from the operating environment. Obstacles such as
walls and metal barriers could reflex and absorb radio signals. Devices like microwave
ovens can create problems to the wireless network greatly. 802.11b/g: Indoor 130ft (40m),
outdoor (LOS, Light-of-Sight) 1000f t (310m) Set by default, the AW-GR520 should
automatically adjust the data rate. The closer the wireless stations are the better the signal
and transmission speed they will receive. To improve your wireless transmission, try moving
your wireless stations closer to the AW-GR520

AW-GR520 Configuration
The Router Status menu provides status and usage information. This page displays the
current information for the AW-GR520. It will display the System (Firmware version) WAN
(Internet), LAN, and Wireless.
If your Internet connection is set up for a Dynamic IP address then a Release button and a
Renew button will be displayed. Use Release to disconnect from your ISP and use Renew to
connect to your ISP. If your Internet connection is set up for PPPoE or PPTP, a Connect
button and a Disconnect button will be displayed. Use Disconnect to drop the PPPoE or
PPTP connection and use Connect to establish the PPPoE or PPTP connection.
How to Access the Web-based Utility

The Domain Name is optional but may be required by some ISPs
Network-WAN - Static IP
Connection Type: Select Static IP Address if all the Internet port’s IP information is provided
to you by your ISP. You will need to enter in the IP address, subnet mask, gateway address,
and DNS address provided to you by your ISP. Each IP address entered in the fields must be

Network-LAN
This section will allow you to change the local network settings of the router and to
configure the DHCP settings.
IP: Enter the IP address of the AW-GR520 router. The default IP address is 192.168.0.1.
If you change the IP address, once you click Apply, you will need to enter the new IP address
in your browser to get back into the configuration utility.
Subnet mask: The default subnet mask is 255.255.255.0.
DHCP Server: DHCP stands for Dynamic Host Control Protocol. The AW-GR520 Router has a
built-in DHCP server. The DHCP Server will automatically assign an IP address to the
computers on the LAN/private network. Be sure to set your computers to be DHCP clients by
setting their TCP/IP settings to “Obtain an IP Address Automatically.” When you turn your
computers on, they will automatically load the proper TCP/IP settings provided by the
Router. The DHCP Server will automatically allocate an unused IP address from the IP
address pool to the requesting computer. You must specify the starting and ending address
of the IP address pool.
DHCP Server: Choose the “Enable” button to enable the DHCP server or choose the
“Disabled” button to disable DHCP server function on your router
Address Range: Enter the starting and ending IP addresses for the IP assignment from
DHCP server.
WINS: Enter the Domain name (Optional).
Network-MAC Clone
The default MAC Address is set to the Internet port’s physical interface MAC address on the
Broadband Router. It is not recommended that you change the default MAC address unless
required by your ISP. You can use the Clone MAC of this PC button to replace the Internet
port’s MAC address with the MAC address of your Ethernet card.
13

Network-Dynamic DNS
The DDNS feature allows you to host a server (Web, FTP, Game Server, etc…) using a domain
name that you have purchased (www.dyndns.com) with your dynamically assigned IP
address. Most broadband Internet Service Providers assign dynamic (changing) IP
addresses. Using a DDNS service provider, your friends can enter in your domain name to
connect to your server no matter what your IP address is.
Dynamic DNS: Enabled/Disabled DDNS function.
User Name: Enter the Username for your DDNS account.
Password: Enter the Password for your DDNS account.

Wireless-Basic
SSID: Service Set Identifier (SSID) is the name of your wireless network. Create a name
using up to 32 characters. The SSID is case-sensitive.
Channel: Indicates the channel setting for the AW-GR520. By default the channel is set to 6.
The Channel can be changed to fit the channel setting for an existing wireless network or to
customize the wireless network.
Mode: Mixed 802.11b/g- using a mix of 802.11b/g wireless clients.

Wireless-Advanced
Broadcast SSID: Select disabled if you do not want the SSID of your wireless network to be
broadcasted by the AW-GR520. If Disabled is selected, the SSID of the AW-GR520 will not be
seen by Site Survey utilities so your wireless clients will have to know the SSID of your AW-
GR520 in order to connect to it. Beacon Period: Beacons are packets sent by an Access Point
to synchronize a wireless network. Specify a value. 100 is the default setting and is
recommended. RTS Threshold: This value should remain at its default setting of 2346. If
inconsistent data flow is a problem, only a minor modification should be made.
Fragmentation Threshold: The fragmentation threshold, which is specified in bytes,
determines whether packets will be fragmented. Packets exceeding the 2346 byte setting
will be fragmented before transmission. 2346 is the default setting. DTIM Interval: (Delivery
Traffic Indication Message) is the default setting. A DTIM is a countdown informing clients
of the next window for listening to broadcast and multicast messages.
18

Firewall-Internet Access
The AW-GR520 router allows you to block the use of certain Internet services by computers
on
your network. This is called Internet Access blocking or port filtering. Enter a name for the
rule and select a Service (HTTP, FTP….) from the drop-down menu. Select the Protocol TCP or
UDP port that you want to block. You can enter a single port or a range of ports. When you
have finished making changes to this screen, click the Apply button to save the changes.
Disabled: Select this option if you do not want to block Internet services.
Allow to access services listed below, others are blocked: Select this option to allow
using Internet services listed below. Users will be block to all other Internet services.
Block services listed below, others are allowed: Select this option to block Internet
services listed below. Users will be allowed access to all other Internet services.
To delete the rules, click "delete Button."

wireless station computers by their MAC addresses from accessing the Network. You can
either manually add a MAC address or select the MAC address from the list of clients that
are currently connected to the Broadband Router.
Select Turn MAC Filtering Off, allow MAC addresses listed below, or deny MAC addresses
listed.
Disabled: Select this option if you do not want to use MAC Filter.
Allow PC listed below to access this device, others are denied: Select this option to only
allow PCs that are in the list to access the network and Internet. All other PCs will be denied
access to the network and Internet.
