1.2 Product Description
PLANET WDRT-730 with exceptional range and speed can fully meet the need of Small Office/Home
Office (SOHO) networks and the users demanding higher networking performance.
2.4G & 5G Simultaneous Dual Band Wireless Connectivity
Since there are more and more wireless applications of various electric devices using the radio
frequency of 2.4GHz, the wireless channel of 2.4GHz has been already too crowded for clients to
enjoy the high-speed wireless connection. In order to avoid the wireless interference of each other,
WDRT-730 provides users the radio frequency of 5GHz for watching HD videos or playing online
games. At the same time, other users can still surf the Internet via the original radio frequency of 2.4
GHz simultaneously. It is just like there are 2 totally independent Access Points for you.

Multiple Network Technologies for Incredibly 600Mbps High-Speed Connection
WDRT-730 supports IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n dual band standard with 2T2R antenna technology, therefore
it provides the wireless speed up to 300+300Mbps which is 12X fast of traditional 11g Access Point.
Moreover, WDRT-730 is equipped with all Gigabit Ethernet Ports and Hardware Wi-Fi ON/OFF Switch.
Compared with general wireless routers, WDRT-730 offers faster transmitting speed for the network
applications and more convenient method to enable or disable wireless signal.
Fully Support of Wireless Security Encryption
To secure the wireless communication, the WDRT-730 supports up-to-date encryption technology,
WPA/WPA2 and WPA-PSK/WPA2-PSK with TKIP/AES. To simplify the wireless security settings,
WDRT-730 supports Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) configuration with PBC/PIN methods. By just
clicking the WPS button, the secure connection between AP and wireless client will be built
immediately.
Advanced Bandwidth Control for Specified Applications
Compared with the QoS function in the past which is too simple to be useful and difficult to configure,
WDRT-730 provides more powerful and flexible bandwidth control function for the administrator to
keep enough bandwidth for some applications or limit the maximal bandwidth for some specified
clients. Now different users who watch HD movies, play online games, use Internet telephony, and
download files can finally exist in the same local area network concurrently.
Powerful Firewall and Complete Access Control Functions
The WDRT-730 supports NAT function to allow multiple users to access Internet via a single legal IP.
It also provides Virtual Server for the specific LAN PC to act as an application server and offer certain
service to the clients on the Internet. Furthermore, the powerful firewall protects your Intranet PCs from
unauthorized accesses and various kinds of DoS attacks from the Internet. In the aspect of firewall, the
WDRT-730 supplies IP-based and MAC-based access control and prevent possible hackers attack.
Easy Setup for Multiple Wireless Modes
WDRT-730 supports multiple wireless modes, AP, Station-Infrastructure, Wireless Bridge, and
Universal Repeater, for different network application. Furthermore, with the built-in Quick Setup
function, users can configure WDRT-730 easily and quickly as they need through simply a couple of
steps. It is so easy to combine then it with the existing wired network. WDRT-730 definitely provides a
total network solution for the home and the SOHO users.

Chapter 4. Quick Installation Guide
This chapter will show you how to configure the basic functions of your Wireless Router using Quick
Setup within minutes.
A computer with wired Ethernet connection to the Wireless Router is required for the
first-time configuration.
4.1 Manual Network Setup - TCP/IP Configuration
The default IP address of the WDRT-730 is 192.168.1.1. And the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. These values can be changed as you desire. In this guide, we use all the default
values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN ports of the Router. And then you can configure the IP address for
your PC in the following two ways.
Obtain an IP address automatically
Configure the IP address manually
In the following sections, we’ll introduce how to install and configure the TCP/IP correctly in Windows
XP. And the procedures in other operating systems are similar. First, make sure your Ethernet Adapter
is working, and refer to the Ethernet adapter’s manual if needed.
4.1.1 Obtain an IP Address Automatically
Summary:
Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in "Obtain an IP address automatically" mode on your PC.
Then the WDRT-730 built-in DHCP server will assign IP address to the PC automatically.
1. Install TCP/IP component
1) On the Windows taskbar, click the Start button, point to Settings, and then click Control
Panel.
2) Click the Network and Internet Connections icon, and then click on the Network
Connections tab in the appearing window.
3) Right click the icon shown below, select Properties on the prompt window.
