4. Configuring therouter
• Start your web browser and enter therouter IP-address 192.168.1.254
in theaddress field.
• When thelogin window appears enter theusername and password.
Username: admin
Password: admin
N.B. If this does not work: Go to section: Troubleshooting 9.1 and 9.4.

c) Check with your ISP regarding your type of Internet connection. Different ISPs
use different types of connection for connecting to theInternet. The most
common connection methods are:
• PPPoE
Automatically assigns IP addresses via PPPoE. Enter theusername and
password received from your ISP.
• Dynamic
Automatically assigns IP addresses from aDHCP server.
No user information is required.
• Static (permanent IP-addresses)
Enter theinformation received from your ISP.
Select Internet Connection Type or WAN Type Select (depending on
theconfiguration method) in therouter menu.
d) Click on Next. If you have received connection information from your ISP
enter this information here, or else click Finish.

Displaying theconnection status
When theconfiguration is completed, click on Status to display
the connection status.
If an IP address is displayed in theWAN IP-address field theconnection is correctly
configured. If WAN IP-address displays: “Unavailable” or “0.0.0.0” your connection
has not yet received an IP-address from your ISP.
Refer to theTroubleshooting section: 9.3. I can connect to therouter but not
to theInternet.
6. Setting up thewireless network, encryption, etc.

English
1. Click on Wireless Configuration.
Wireless configuration settings:
Wireless LAN 802.11ng Configuration.
Multiple BSSID, select asetting for one of thewireless networks (SSID 1 – SSID 2).
• SSID: Enter adesired name for your network.
• Hidden SSID: Select Enable to hide thenetwork name. Select Disable to
display thename.
• Authentication Type: Select thedesired security level from thedrop-down
menu: Open system gives no protection at all while WPA2-PSK provides
thehighest security.
• WEP: Select your desired encryption setting from thedrop-down menu:
Disabled (encryption deactivated), 64-bit or 128-bit.
N.B. WPA2-PSK may only be compatible with Vista or XP with Service Pack 3.
For XP with Service Pack 2 or earlier thehighest degree of encryption is WPA.
N.B: Changing these settings will cause all wireless devices will to be disconnected.
Setting thedesired security level
2. Open Authentication Type, select thedesired security level from thedrop-
down menu: Open system gives no protection at all while WPA2-PSK provides
thehighest security.
3. Open WEP and select your desired encryption setting from thedrop-down menu:
Disabled (encryption deactivated), 64-bit (5 symbols) or 128-bit (13 symbols)
encryption.
4. Enter adesired password (if you have chosen encryption), and click Submit.
Use apassphrase or hexadecimal key.
• A passphrase should consist of: 5 ASCII symbols for 64-bit WEP or 13 ASCII
symbols for 128-bit WEP. Approved symbols: 0–9, a-z, A-Z and ~ ! @ # $ % ^
& * () _ + | ` - = { } | [ ] \ : ” ; ’ < > ? , . / .
• The hexadecimal key should consist of: 10 hexadecimal symbols for
64-bit WEP or 26 hexadecimal symbols for 128-bit WEP. Approved symbols:
(0–9, A-F).
N.B. Important: Remember your password!

English
7. Recommended settings and changes
Concerns both SSID 1 and SSID 2:
• SSID1 is anormal network with WAN and LAN connections.
• SSID2 is a“Guest network” which has no LAN connection but has an exclusive
Internet connection with special security settings.
Step 1. Change theSSID (name) from Gigabyte to something of your choosing.
Step 2. Select WPA-PSK (encryption) from theAuthentication Type drop-down menu.
Step 3. Change theWPA-PSK Passphrase to apersonal passphrase.
Differientiate between capital and small letters. Use at least 8 characters.
Step 4. Click Submit.
Resetting thefactory settings
On thebottom panel of therouter is the[INIT] button which resets therouter to factory
settings. Resetting: Depress the[INIT] button for 10 seconds.
N.B. The username and password will also be reset to their factory settings.

9. Troubleshooting
9.1. I am having trouble connecting to therouter
Possible causes:
• The router is not connected to theadaptor.
• No network connection is found.
• The computer you are using does not have avalid IP address.
• Check your firewall settings to see if they are blocking theconnection.
• Check your wireless connections.
Possible solution:
• Check that the ”PWR” light is on, if not: Check that both theAC/DC adaptor
and thewall socket have voltage.
• Check that you have aphysical or wireless connection between thePC and
therouter; the ”LAN” light should be on. The LED on thenetwork card will also
indicate if theconnection is functioning.
• Make sure that you have thesame settings both on thecomputer and router.
The settings can be used with theIPCONFIG tool which is entered at
thecommand prompt. Go to Start – Run and enter cmd to open
thecommand prompt.
• Type ipconfig and press [ENTER].
• The computer’s IP address and Net mask will then appear.
• The standard-gateway is also therouter’s IP address.
N.B. The router can change IP address to 192.168.2.254 if it detects aconflict
with e.g. amodem which already shares thesame 192.168.1.254
IP address.

11
English
Resetting – If you want to start from thebeginning:
On thebottom panel of therouter is the[INIT] button which resets therouter to
factory settings. Resetting:
• The router should be on. Use apaper clip or similar and depress the[INIT] button
for 5–6 seconds until the“PWR” light begins to flash, then remove
the paper clip.
• The router should now restart with theoriginal factory settings.
• The username and password are also reset to factory settings.
9.2. I cannot connect to other devices on thenetwork
Possible causes:
• The computers’ IP addresses are incorrectly set.
• The network cables are not properly connected.
• The network settings in Windows are incorrect.
Possible solutions:
• Every computer should have aunique IP address. Check this using
theIPCONFIG command.
• Normally, Obtain an IP address automatically should be ticked (if you want to
use therouter’s DHCP function), N.B. Any changes may require arestart for them
to take effect.
• With thePING function you can check which devices/computers are able to be
connected to thenetwork.
• The PING command is run at thecommand prompt. Enter theIP address you
wish to check theconnection for and then press [ENTER].
• “Reply from…” indicates that theconnection is functioning.
• “Request timed out” means that theconnection does not work.
• Check that the ”LAN” indicator lamp is on, if not: Try switching network cables.
• Check each computer’s network settings using theWindows Control Panel.

12
English
9.3. I can connect to therouter but not to theInternet
Possible causes:
• The modem or ADSL device does not work.
• Cable problems on theWAN port GN-BR32L-RH, modem or broadband modem.
• Incorrect connection type entered during Setup. PPPoE, Dynamic IP Address,
Static IP Address or PPPoE Unnumber. Dynamic IP Address
is most common, tick this if you feel uncertain.
• The username and password are mistyped.
Possible solutions:
• Check all devices and connections.
• Check your connection settings.
• Enter thecorrect username and password. Check that the[Caps Lock]
is not activated.
• Always read through theinstruction manual from your ISP.
N.B. Certain ISPs have a 30 minute lock-out of issued IP addresses. That is
why in some cases themodem cable must be disconnected for 30 minutes
before you are issued anew IP address.
9.4. I cannot connect to therouter with my Wi-fi network card
Possible causes:
• The settings are not identical on each Wi-fi card.
• You are out of range of thesystem.
• The IP address is incorrectly set.

13
English
Possible solutions:
• Make sure all Wi-fi cards have thesame setting for “Mode”,
“SSID” (Service Set Identifier) used for passwords and encryption.
• The preset values for “SSID” and “Channel” are “Gigabyte” and “6”.
• Make sure your computer is within therange of therouter. Try different locations.
Electrical fields generated by e.g. an adaptor can interfere with thecommunication
between therouter and computers in awireless network.
• Make sure you have thesame IP address on your computer and your router
(the three first groups, 192.168.1.) should be identical, thefinal group of digits
should be different for all devices.

Router
Selects thefastest route for forwarding data through thenetwork.
IP SubnetMask
E.g. 255.255.255.0 displays how IP numbers should be interpreted.
IP address
Consists of up to 12 digits divided into 4 groups, e.g. 192.168.127.112 (32 bits)
corresponding to aMAC address unique to every network card. IP addresses and
