1 Safety Precautions
Follow the following instructions to prevent the device from risks and damage caused by fire or electric power:
Use volume labels to mark the type of power.
Use the power adapter packed within the device package.
Pay attention to the power load of the outlet or prolonged lines. An overburden power outlet or damaged lines and plugs may cause electric shock or fire accident.
Check the power cords regularly. If you find any damage, replace it at once.
Proper space left for heat dissipation is necessary to avoid damage caused by overheating to the device. The long and thin holes on the device are designed for
heat dissipation to ensure that the device works normally. Do not cover these heat dissipation holes.
Do not put this device close to a place where a heat source exists or high temperature occurs.Avoid the device from direct sunshine.
Do not put this device close to a place where it is over damp or watery. Do not spill any fluid on this device.
Do not connect this device to any PCs or electronic products, unless our customer engineer or your broadband provider instructs you to do this, because any wrong

3 Hardware Installation
3.1 Choosing the Best Location for Wireless Operation
Many environmental factors may affect the effective wireless function of the DSL Router. If this is the first time that you set up a wireless network device, read the
following information:
The access point can be placed on a shelf or desktop, ideally you should be able to see the LED indicators in the front, as you may need to view them for
troubleshooting.
Designed to go up to 100 meters indoors and up to 300 meters outdoors, wireless LAN lets you access your network from anywhere you want. However, the numbers
of walls, ceilings, or other objects that the wireless signals must pass through limit signal range. Typical ranges vary depending on types of materials and background
RF noise in your home or business.

3.2 Connecting the Router
(1) Connect the DSL port of the router and the Modem port of the splitter
with a telephone cable; connect the phone to the phone port of the
splitter through a cable; and connect the incoming line to the Line port of
the splitter.
The spliiter has three ports:
LINE: Connect to a wall phone jack (RJ-11 jack)
Modem: Connect to the Line interface of the router
PHONE: Connect to a telephone set
(2) Connect the LAN port of the router to the network interface card (NIC) of
the PC through an Ethernet cable (MDI/MDIX).
(3) Plug the power adapter to the wall outlet and then connect the other end
of it to the Power port of the router.

4 About the Web Configuration
The first time you setup the Router. It is recommended that you configure the WAN connection using a single computer, to ensure that both the computer and the
Router are not connected to the LAN. Once the WAN connection operates properly, you may continue to make changes to Router configuration, including IP settings
and DHCP setup. This chapter is concerned with using your computer to configure the WAN connection. The following chapter describes the various menus used to
configure and monitor the Router, including how to change IP settings and DHCP server setup.
4.1 Preparation Before Login
Before accessing the Routerre the communication between PC and Router is normal. Check the communication as follows.
Configure the IP address of the PC as 192.168.1.X (2~254), net mask as
255.255.255.0, gateway address as 192.168.1.1 (for customized version,
configure them according to the actual version).
Enter arp -a in the DOS window to check whether the PC can read the MAC
address of the Router.
Ping the MAINTENANCE IP address (192.168.1.1 by default) of the Router.
If the PC can read the MAC address of the Router and can ping through the
MAINTENANCE IP address of the Router, that means the communication of
the PC and the Router is normal.
Note:
When you manage the Router through Web, you must keep the Router
power on. Otherwise, the Router may be damaged.
4.2 Logging In to the Router

4.3 Setup
4.3.1 Wizard
Wizard enables fast and accurate configuration of Internet connection and other important parameters. The following sections describe these various configuration
parameters.
When subscribing to a broadband service, you should be aware of the method, by which you are connected to the Internet. Your physical WAN device can be Ethernet,
DSL, or both. Technical information about the properties of your Internet connection is provided by your Internet service provider (ISP). For example, your ISP should
inform you whether you are connected to the Internet using a static or dynamic IP address, or the protocol, such as PPPoA or PPPoE, that you use to communicate
over the Internet.
