Chapter One: Introduction
Thank you for purchasing TECHNICLAN RNC-1004WL 54M Wireless
Broadband Router. This user guide will assist you with the installation
procedure.
1.1 About RNC-1004WL 54M Wireless Router
RNC-1004WL 54M Wireless Router is a hybrid design product which
combines Ethernet technology and wireless access into a single stand-
alone unit. The device allows you take advantages of both mobility and
fast connection. All PCs whenever on wireless LAN or Ethernet LAN can
share files, printers and other network resource. Moreover, all users can
share single account of Internet access by having this device connect
to a DSL/Cable modem, fixed or dynamic IP, or PPTP.
1.1.1 Ethernet / Fast Ethernet
Ethernet is the most widely-used network access method,
especially in a Local Area Network (LAN) and is defined by the IEEE as
the 802.3 standard. Normally, Ethernet is a shared media LAN. All
stations on the segment share the total bandwidth, which could be 10
Mbps (Ethernet), 100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). With a switched Ethernet,
each sender and receiver has the full bandwidth. Fast Ethernet is
defined by the IEEE 802.3u standard, a high-speed version of Ethernet
with 100 Mbps transmission rate.
1.1.2
Wireless LAN
Wireless Local Area Network systems (WLANs) transmit and
receive data through the air by using radio frequency (RF). This
offers some advantages like mobility, ease of installation, and
scalability over traditional wired systems.
1.1.3 Mobility
WLANs combine data connectivity with user mobility. This
provides users with access to network anywhere in their organization.
e.g., users can roam from a conference room to their office without
being disconnected from the LAN. This is impossible with wired
networks.

2.4 Connecting the Router
Before you install the router, you should connect your PC to
the Internet through your broadband service successfully. If there is
any problem, please contact your ISP. After that, please install the
router according to the following steps. Don't forget to pull out the
power plug and keep your hands dry.
1. Power off your PC(s), Cable/DSL modem, and the router.
2. Locate an optimum location for the router. The best place is
usually near the center of the area in which your PC(s) will
wirelessly connect. The place must accord with the Installation
Environment Requirements.
3. Adjust the direction of the antenna. Normally, upright is a good
direction.

Chapter Three: Quick Installation Guide
After connecting RNC-1004WL 54M Wireless Router into your
network, you should configure it. This chapter describes how to
configure the basic functions of your RNC-1004WL 54M Wireless
Router. These procedures only take you a few minutes. You can
access the Internet via the router immediately after successfully
configured.
3.1 TCP/IP configuration
The default IP address of RNC-1004WL 54M Wireless Router
54Mbps Wireless Router is 192.168.1.1, and the default Subnet
Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values can be seen from the LAN.
They can be changed as you desire, as an example we use the
default values for description in this guide.
Connect the local PCs to the LAN ports on the router. There are
two means to configure the IP address for your PCs: to Configure the
IP address manually or to obtain an IP address automatically
* Configure the IP address manually
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC(s).
2) Configure the network parameters. The IP address is
192.168.1.xxx ("xxx" is from 2 to 254), Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0,
and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (The router's default IP address)
* Obtain an IP address automatically
1) Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address
automatically" mode on your PC(s). If you need instructions as to how
to do this,
2) Power off the router and PC(s). Then turn on the router, and
restart the PC(s). The built-in DHCP server will assign IP addresses for
the PC(s).
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to
verify the network connection between your PC(s) and the router.

your PC's adapter should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Note: If the router's IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC's IP
address must be within the range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254,
the gateway must be 192.168.1.1
3.2 Quick Setup wizard

solution for the security issues. It uses Temporal Key Integrity
Protocol (TKIP) to replace WEP.
TKIP: TKIP is a compromise on strong security and possibility to
use existing hardware. It still uses RC4 for the encryption like WEP,
but with per-packet RC4 keys. In addition, it implements replay
protection, keyed packet authentication mechanism (Michael MIC).
