Getting to Know the WRV210
Front Panel
POWER—(Green) Shines steady when the router is powered on.
DMZ—(Green) Shines steady when the router has an available DMZ port. If
the LED is flashing, the router is sending or receiving data over the DMZ
port. A DMZ can be configured to allow Internet traffic to access a
specified computer on your network, while protecting the rest of your LAN
from exposure.

Installing the WRV210
Placement Options
You can place the router horizontally on a desktop or mount it on the wall.
Desktop Option
For desktop placement, place the router horizontally on a surface so it sits
on its four rubber feet.
Wall Option
To mount the router on the wall, follow these steps.
STEP 1Determine where you want to mount the router.

Connecting the Equipment
STEP 1Make sure that all of your network hardware is powered off,
including the router, PCs, and broadband network device.
STEP 2Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to one of the LAN ports
(labeled 1-4) on the back of the router, and the other end to an
Ethernet port on a PC.
NOTE You must connect one computer with an Ethernet cable for the
purpose of the initial configuration. After you complete the initial
configuration, administrative tasks can be performed from a
wireless connection.
STEP 3Repeat the previous step to connect more PCs, a switch, or other
network devices to the router.

STEP 4Connect an Ethernet cable from the Broadband network device to
the Internet port on the router’s back panel.
STEP 5Connect the power adapter to the router’s Power port, and then
insert the other end into an electrical outlet.
NOTE Use only the power adapter that is supplied with the router.
Using a different power adapter could damage the router.
The Power and Internet LEDs on the front panel will shine green as
soon as the power adapter is connected properly.
STEP 6Power on the connected devices and the broadband network
device.
The hardware installation is now complete.

Verifying the Hardware
Installation
To verify the hardware installation, complete the following tasks:
•Check the LED states, as described in Getting to Know the WRV210,
page 1.
•If the LED does not show the expected status, check the cable
connections.
NOTE If you need help resolving a problem, visit the Cisco Small
Business Support Community at www.cisco.com/go/
smallbizsupport. For technical documentation and other links, see
Where to Go From Here, page 14.
Getting Started with the
Configuration
The following instructions explain how to set up the Internet connection,
configure the wireless network, and secure the wireless network.
Setting Up the Internet Connection
Before you begin, make sure that you have the setup information for the
specific type of Internet connection for your Internet Service Provider
(ISP). The installation technician from the ISP should have provided this
information when installing the broadband connection. If not, contact your
ISP to request the settings.
STEP 1Using one of the PCs that you previously connected to the router,
start your web browser.
NOTE You must complete the initial installation from a PC that is
physically connected to the router. You cannot configure the
router from a PC that is connected wirelessly.

STEP 2To connect to the web-based Configuration Utility, enter the
router’s default LAN IP address in the browser’s Address bar:
http://192.168.1.1
A password request prompt appears.
STEP 3Enter the following user name and password, and then click OK.
•User name: admin
•Password: admin
NOTE For added security, you should later set a new administrator
password by using the Administration > Management page in
the web-based Configuration Utility.
The web-based Configuration Utility appears, displaying the Basic
Setup page.
STEP 4In the Internet Setup section, choose the Internet Connection
Type that was specified by your ISP:
• Automatic Configuration - DHCP: This type of connection
allows your router to obtain an IP address dynamically from
your ISP’s network.
•StaticIP:This type of connection requires that your ISP
assigned a fixed IP address to your account.
• PPPoE: This type of connection requires a login for each
Internet connection.
• PPTP: This type of connection is used in Europe only.
•L2TP:This type of connection is used mostly in Europe.
•HeartBeatSignal:This type of connection is used in Australia.
STEP 5Enter the information that your ISP provided. The fields vary,
depending on the selected connection type.
• IP Address, Subnet Mask, and Default Gateway: Enter the
information that the ISP provided for your fixed IP address.
• Primary DNS and Secondary DNS: Enter the IP address of at
least one Domain Name System (DNS) server for your ISP.

8 Cisco Small Business WRV210 Quick Start Guide
• Username and Password: Enter the login information for your
ISP account.
• PPTP Server or Authentication Server: Enter the server IP
address or name, as provided by your ISP.
• Host Name and Domain Name: Complete these fields only if
required by your ISP (often required by cable ISPs).
• Connect on Demand and Max Idle Time: Choose this option to
automatically disconnect from the Internet if the connection is
idle for the specified number of seconds. This option is helpful
if you are billed based on the amount of connection time.
• Keep Alive: Choose this option to remain connected to the
Internet regardless of the level of activity.
STEP 6When you are finished entering the Internet connection settings,
click Save to save the changes.
STEP 7To test the Internet connection, start a web browser on any
connected computer and enter a valid website address, such as
www.cisco.com.
Configuring the Wireless Network
STEP 1To configure the router for the wireless network, click Wireless >
Basic Wireless Settings in the navigation tree.
STEP 2From the Wireless Network Mode drop-down list, choose the
appropriate mode for your network devices:
•Mixed:Supports Wireless-G and Wireless-B devices
•G-Only:Supports only Wireless-G devices
•B-Only:Supports only Wireless-B devices
• Disable: Disables wireless networking
STEP 3Enter the following information in the SSID table to configure up to
four wireless networks:
• Wireless Network Name (SSID): Enter a name for your
network to identify it to the wireless devices that connect to the
router.
•TXRateLimitation:Keep the default value for the transmission
rate.

Cisco Small Business WRV210 Quick Start Guide 9
• SSID Broadcast: Click Enabled to allow all wireless devices in
range to see the SSID for this wireless network. Click Disabled
for increased privacy. With this feature disabled, your users will
need to know the SSID in order to configure their wireless
connections, since the SSID will not appear automatically when
they scan the area for available networks.
•WMM:Check this box to enable Wi-Fi Multimedia. This feature
provides basic prioritization of data packets to support voice
and video applications.
STEP 4From the drop-down list, choose the Wireless Channel to be used
by the wireless network devices. In most cases, the default
selection should be sufficient, but you may need to change this
setting if there is interference from other wireless networks in the
area.
NOTE During the initial configuration, ignore the Wireless LAN
Schedule section of this page. Later, if needed, you can
configure a schedule to enable or disable each wireless
network during specified days and times.
STEP 5When you are finished entering the wireless network settings, click
Save to apply the changes.
Securing the Wireless Network
STEP 1To choose the security options for your network, click Wireless >
Wireless Security in the navigation tree.
STEP 2From the Select SSID drop-down list, choose the SSID that you
want to configure. You will need to repeat this procedure for each
SSID that you enabled on the Basic Wireless Settings page.
STEP 3Choose the Security Mode. Cisco recommends using the highest
level of security that is supported by your network devices.
Choose from the following options:
•WEP:Weak security with a basic encryption method that is not
as secure as WPA. WEP may be required if your network
devices do not support WPA.
