Chapter 1
Introduction
This Chapter provides an overview of the Wireless Router's features and ca-
pabilities.
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Wireless Router. The Wireless Router is a multi-
function device providing the following services:
• Shared Broadband Internet Access for all LAN users.
• Wireless Access Point for 802.11b, 802.11g and 802.11n Wireless Stations.
• 4-Port Switching Hub for 10BaseT or 100BaseT connections.
Figure 1: Wireless Router
Wireless Router Features
The Wireless Router incorporates many advanced features, carefully designed to provide
sophisticated functions while being easy to use.
Internet Access Features
• Shared Internet Access. All users on the LAN or WLAN can access the Internet
through the Wireless Router, using only a single external IP Address. The local (invalid) IP
Addresses are hidden from external sources. This process is called NAT (Network Address
Translation).
• DSL & Cable Modem Support. The Wireless Router has a 10/100BaseT Ethernet port
for connecting a DSL or Cable Modem. All popular DSL and Cable Modems are sup-
ported. SingTel RAS and Big Pond (Australia) login support is also included.
• PPPoE, PPTP, SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond Support. The Internet (WAN
port) connection supports PPPoE (PPP over Ethernet), PPTP (Peer-to-Peer Tunneling Pro-
1

tocol), SingTel RAS and Telstra Big Pond (Australia), as well as "Direct Connection" type
services. Unnumbered IP with PPPoE is also supported.
• Fixed or Dynamic IP Address. On the Internet (WAN port) connection, the Wireless
Router supports both Dynamic IP Address (IP Address is allocated on connection) and
Fixed IP Address.
Advanced Internet Functions
• Application Level Gateways (ALGs). Applications which use non-standard connec-
tions or port numbers are normally blocked by the Firewall. The ability to define and allow
such applications is provided, to enable such applications to be used normally.
• Special Applications. This feature, also called Port Triggering, allows you to use
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
• Port Triggering. This feature, also called Special Applications, allows you to use
Internet applications which normally do not function when used behind a firewall.
• Port Forwarding. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
• Virtual Servers. This feature allows Internet users to access Internet servers on your
LAN. The required setup is quick and easy.
• Dynamic DNS Support. DDNS, when used with the Virtual Servers feature, allows
users to connect to Servers on your LAN using a Domain Name, even if you have a dy-
namic IP address which changes every time you connect.
• URL Filter. Use the URL Filter to block access to undesirable Web sites by LAN users.
• Access Control. Using the Access Control feature, you can assign LAN users to different
groups, and determine which Internet services are available to each group.
• Firewall. As well as the built-in firewall to protect your LAN, you can define Firewall
Rules to determine which incoming and outgoing traffic should be permitted.
• Scheduling. Both the URL Filter and Firewall rules can be scheduled to operate only at
certain times. This provides great flexibility in controlling Internet -bound traffic.
• Logs. Define what data is recorded in the Logs, and optionally send log data to a Syslog
Server. Log data can also be E-mailed to you.
• QoS Support Quality of Service can be used to handle packets so that more important
connections receive priority over less important one.
Wireless Features
• Standards Compliant. The Wireless Router complies with the IEEE802.11g (DSSS)
specifications for Wireless LANs.
• Supports Pre-N Wireless Stations. The 802.11n Draft standard provides for backward
compatibility with the 802.11b standard, so 802.11n, 802.11b and 802.11g Wireless sta-
tions can be used simultaneously.
• Speeds to 300Mbps. All speeds up to the 802.11g maximum of 300Mbps are supported.
• WEP support. Support for WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is included. Key sizes of 64
Bit and 128 Bit are supported. WEP encrypts any data before transmission, providing pro-
tection against snoopers.
• WPA-PSK support. Like WEP, WPA-PSK encrypts any data before transmission,
providing protection against snoopers. The WPA-PSK is a later standard than WEP, and
provides both easier configuration and greater security than WEP.

Introduction
3
• WPA2-PSK support. Support for WPA2 is also included. WPA2 uses the extremely
secure AES encryption method.
• 802.1x Support. Support for 802.1x mode is included, providing for the industrial-
strength wireless security of 802.1x authentication and authorization.
• Wireless MAC Access Control. The Wireless Access Control feature can check the
MAC address (hardware address) of Wireless stations to ensure that only trusted Wireless
Stations can access your LAN.
• Simple Configuration. If the default settings are unsuitable, they can be changed
quickly and easily.
• WPS Support. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) can simplify the process of connecting any
device to the wireless network by using the push button configuration (PBC) on the Wire-
less Access Point, or entering a PIN code if there's no button.
• WDS Support. Support for WDS (Wireless Distribution System) allows the Wireless
Access Point to act as a Wireless Bridge. Both Point-to-Point and Multi-Point Bridge
modes are supported.
LAN Features
• 4-Port Switching Hub. The Wireless Router incorporates a 4-port 10/100BaseT switch-
ing hub, making it easy to create or extend your LAN.
• DHCP Server Support. Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol provides a dynamic IP
address to PCs and other devices upon request. The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP
Server for devices on your local LAN and WLAN.
Configuration & Management
• Easy Setup. Use your WEB browser from anywhere on the LAN or WLAN for configu-
ration.
• Configuration File Upload/Download. Save (download) the configuration data from
the Wireless Router to your PC, and restore (upload) a previously-saved configuration file
to the Wireless Router.
• Remote Management. The Wireless Router can be managed from any PC on your LAN
or Wireless LAN. And, if the Internet connection exists, it can also (optionally) be config-
ured via the Internet.
• Network Diagnostics. You can use the Wireless Router to perform a Ping or DNS
lookup.
• UPnP Support. UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) allows automatic discovery and con-
figuration of the Wireless Router. UPnP is supported by Windows ME, XP, or later.
Security Features
• Password - protected Configuration. Password protection is provided to prevent
unauthorized users from modifying the configuration data and settings.
• Wireless LAN Security. WPA-PSK, WEP and Wireless access control by MAC address
are all supported. The MAC-level access control feature can be used to prevent unknown
wireless stations from accessing your LAN.
• NAT Protection. An intrinsic side effect of NAT (Network Address Translation) tech-
nology is that by allowing all LAN users to share a single IP address, the location and even
the existence of each PC is hidden. From the external viewpoint, there is no network, only
a single device - the Wireless Router.

• Firewall. All incoming data packets are monitored and all incoming server requests are
filtered, thus protecting your network from malicious attacks from external sources.
• Protection against DoS attacks. DoS (Denial of Service) attacks can flood your
Internet connection with invalid packets and connection requests, using so much bandwidth
and so many resources that Internet access becomes unavailable. The Wireless Router in-
corporates protection against DoS attacks.

If you can't connect
If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
• The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is
powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
• Open the MS-DOS window or command prompt window.
• Enter the command:
ping 192.168.0.1
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)
• If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.0.2 to 192.168.0.254 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's de-
fault IP Address of 192.168.0.1. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
• Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network segment.
(If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
• Ensure you are using the wired LAN interface. The Wireless interface can only
be used if its configuration matches your PC's wireless settings.
Setup Wizard
The first time you connect to the Wireless Router, the Setup Wizard will run automatically.
(The Setup Wizard will also run if the Wireless Router's default settings are restored.)
1. Step through the Wizard until finished.
• You need to know the type of Internet connection service used by your ISP. Check the
data supplied by your ISP.
• The common connection types are explained in the tables below.
2. On the final screen of the Wizard, run the test and check that an Internet connection can be
established.
3. If the connection test fails:

TCP/IP
IP Address IP address for the Wireless Router, as seen from the local LAN. Use
the default value unless the address is already in use or your LAN is
using a different IP address range. In the latter case, enter an unused IP
Address from within the range used by your LAN.
Subnet Mask The default value 255.255.255.0 is standard for small (class "C")
networks. For other networks, use the Subnet Mask for the LAN
segment to which the Wireless Router is attached (the same value as the
PCs on that LAN segment).
DHCP Server • If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to PCs
(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and
recommended) value is Enabled.
• If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Wireless Router as the default Gateway. See the following
section for further details.
• The Start IP Address, Finish IP Address and Lease Time fields
set the values used by the DHCP server when allocating IP Ad-
dresses to DHCP clients. This range also determines the number of
DHCP clients supported.
See the following section for further details on using DHCP.
DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
• The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
