Back Panel
Item Name Description
Antenna Attached 2dBi dipole antenna.
1 - 4 Local Area Network (LAN) ports 1 to 4.
WAN Wide Area Network (WAN / Internet) port.
Power Power connector, connects to power adapter.
2.2 Hardware Installation
1. Locate an optimum location for the VRT-402N. The best place for your VRT-402N is usually at
the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Adjust the antennas of VRT-402N. Try to adjust them to a position that can best cover your wireless
network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
10

3. Connect all of your network devices to LAN port of VRT-402N. Connect all your computers,
network devices (network-enabled consumer devices other than computers, like game console, or
switch / hub).Connect one of the LAN ports on VRT-402N to your LAN switch/hub or a computer with a
RJ-45 cable.
4. Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, VRT-402N will start to
operate.
5. Please check all LEDs on the front panel. ‘Status’ LED should be steadily on. WAN and LAN
LEDs should be on if the computer / network device connected to the respective port of the router is
powered on and correctly connected. If PWD LED is not on, or any LED you expected is not on, please
recheck the cabling, or jump to ‘Troubleshooting’ for possible reasons and solution.
Note:
1. ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the VRT-402N. Otherwise, the product may be
damaged.
2. If you want to reset VRT-402N to default settings, press and hold the RST(reset) button over 30
seconds and release. And then wait for VRT-402N restart.
11

2.3 Network Setup
After you install your VRT-402N, the TCP/IP settings should be set to obtain an IP address from a DHCP
server (VRT-402N) automatically. To verify your IP address, please follow the steps below:
1. Click on Start > Run.
2. In the run box type “cmd” and click OK. (Windows Vista users type cmd in the Start .Search box.)At the
prompt.
12

3. Type “ipconfig” and press Enter. It will display the IP address, subnet mask, and the default gateway of
adapter.
13
4. If the address is 0.0.0.0, check your adapter installation, security settings, and the settings on your router.
Some firewall software programs may block a DHCP request on newly installed adapters.
Assign a static IP address
If you are not using a DHCP capable gateway/router, or you need to assign a static IP address, please follow
the steps below:
1. - Windows Vista® - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network .and .Internet
>Network .and .Sharing .Center > Manage Network Connections.
- Windows® XP - Click on Start > Control .Panel > Network Connections.
- Windows® 2000 - From the desktop, right-click My Network Places > Properties.
2. Right-click on the Local Area Connection which represents your network adapter and select Properties.
3. Highlight Internet .Protocol. (TCP/IP) and click Properties.
4. Click Use .the .following .IP .address and enter an IP address that is on the same subnet as your
network or the LAN IP address on your router.
Example: If LAN IP address of VRT-402N is 192.168.0.1, make your IP address 192.168.0.X where X
is a number between 2 and 99. Make sure that the number you choose is not in use on the network. Set
Default Gateway the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1).
Set Primary DNS the same as the LAN IP address of your router (192.168.0.1). The Secondary DNS is
not needed or you may enter a DNS server from your ISP.
5. Click OK twice to save your settings.

Chapter 3 Web Login
We suggest manage the VRT-402N. in the browser IE version 7 or more
later version.
VRT-402N with an assigned IP address allows you to monitor and configure via web browser (e.g., MS
Internet Explorer or Netscape).
1. Open your web browser.
2. Enter the IP address of your VRT-402N in the address field (default IP address is
http://192.168.0.1).
3. Please enter your User Name and Password in the dialog box. Default User Name and Password
are both “admin”. Click OK.
4. Then you will see the VRT-402N HOME screen as below.

Chapter 4 Setup
This section describes the basic configuration of the VRT-402N and allows you to connect to Internet
easily.
4.1 Setup
4.1.1 WAN
The WAN Settings screen allows you to specify the type of Internet connection. The WAN settings offer
the following selections for the router’s WAN port, Dynamic IP, Static IP, PPPoE, PPTP, and L2TP. Please
select one of the connection types and click “More Configuration” button or select the option on the left
window for configuration.
If Dynamic IP is selected, your ISP will automatically give you an IP address. Some ISP’s may also
require that you fill in additional information such as Host Name, Domain Name and MAC address.
If Static IP is selected, your ISP should provide all the information required in this screen.
If your ISP requires PPPoE protocol to connect to the Internet. Your ISP should provide all the information
required in this section.
If you choose the VPN Client option, you will see the following PPTP and L2TP settings information.
1

Select PPTP if your ISP requires the PPTP protocol to connect to the Internet. Your ISP should provide all
the information required in this section.
1
7

Select L2TP if your ISP requires the L2TP protocol to connect to the Internet. Your ISP should provide all
the information required in this section.
In this Wifi-Wan1 (WISP) mode, the wireless client will connect to ISP access point. The NAT is enabled
and PCs in Ethernet ports share the same IP to ISP through wireless LAN. You must set the WAN port to
WISP mode first and connect to the ISP AP in Site-Survey page. The connection type can be setup in
WAN page by using PPPOE, DHCP client, PPTP client or static
IP.
