5. Configure Your Computer
You can manage the 150Mbps Wireless-N broadband router through the Web browser- based
configuration utility. To configure the device via Web browser, at least one properly
configured computer must be connected to the device via Ethernet or wireless network. The
router is configured with the default IP address of 192.168.1.1 and subnet mask of
255.255.255.0 and its DHCP server is enabled by default.
Here we use Windows XP for example. If your network settings are not already set and
you need to complete this step, the configurations are similar for the other operating
systems.
¾Go to Start, right click on My Network Places, select Properties, and right click on the
Local Area Connection. In the screen that appears, select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and
then click Properties.

7. Router Setup
7.1.Internet Connection Setting
¾Most connections utilize a dynamic IP (DHCP) and the default is already set to this. If
you have another connection type (like static IP), you will need to click on ‘Convenient
Setup’ in the menu and input information given you by your service provider and then click
save.
Figure 7-1
¾You may already be connected to the Internet. Click on ‘System Information’- ‘Internet
access info’ to see if you have an IP, Gateway, etc (refer to the following picture). If not, your
service provider probably requires you clone the MAC address of your computer to the router.
To do so, click on ‘Internet Setup’ in the menu, then click on ‘Clone MAC Address’ button to
get your computer's MAC address in according to your Internet connection type, and then
click the ‘Save’button below.

Figure 7-2
¾If you are still not connected, or experience an erratic connection, your modem may have
the same IP as the router (192.168.1.1). You will need to change the router's IP. Click on
‘LAN Setup’- ‘LAN IP Address’ and you will see this IP in the main interface. You may edit it
to something different (192.168.2.1 for example). After entering the new IP, click on ‘Save’
below, the router will reboot, and you will need to enter the user name and password again.
Check your system status for IP again, and test connection.
Note: You will need to enter the new IPin the browser to access the user interface for any future
setting changes.

7.2.Advanced Settings
7.2.1. Restore to Factory Default
If the router ever freezes in a setting change process or if you can’t access it because you can’t
remember the IP you have given it or other problem, you may have to utilize the default button
on the back of the router to put it back to factory settings. You have to press and hole this button
for a few seconds (2-6s) with a pencil when it is working, then release and it will restore
settings to the factory configuration.

firmware version you have downloaded and then click on the ‘Upgrade’button to proceed.
7.2.4. Wireless Security Settings
To protect your wireless network from unauthorized user access, you may wish to set up
wireless security. Click ‘Wireless Management’- ‘Security.’ Five different encryption modes -
“None”, “WEP”, “WPA-PSK”, “WPA2-PSK” and “WPA/WPA2-PSK” - are provided. WEP
authentication mode is not recommended when WPS is enabled.
¾If you want to use WEP, you can select ASCII characters (alphanumeric) or Hexadecimal
(‘A-F’, ‘a-f’ and ‘0-9’). For 64-bit WEP, input 10 Hex values (in the ‘A-F’, ‘a-f’ and ‘0-9’
range) or 5 ASCII characters. For 128-bit WEP, input 26 Hex values (in the ‘A-F’, ‘a-f’ and
‘0-9’range) or 13ASCII characters
Figure 7-4
¾If you want to use WPA/ WPA2/ WPA&WPA2 to encrypt, you can select ASCII
characters (alphanumeric format) or Hexadecimal digits (‘A-F’, ‘a-f’ and ‘0-9’). No matter

Select this router for connection in your OS network connections or wireless adapter
software settings
Choose to enter the WPS PIN of the router and provide default router WPS PIN
printed on label on bottom of router. This PIN may be changed though, and you
may do so/confirm current PIN in the router's user interface – click ‘Wireless
Management’- ‘WPS’ and you will be able to see the AP PIN as well as generate a

adapter and enter it in the router in the same part of the user interface - click
‘Wireless Management’- ‘WPS’ and enter adapter PIN for ‘Wireless Host PIN
Code’.
7.2.5. WDS (Wireless Distribution System)
If you are using this router to spread the wireless coverage of another router, or to spread the
coverage to another router, you can use WDS. For this example, WDS will be established
between a router that the MAC address is 00-22-4f-cc-ae-f5 (R1) and another router that the
MAC address is 00-22-4f-bc-af-5d (R2). The MAC address is printed on a label on the bottom
of the router, or may be seem both Netis routers. Please follow the steps below, but keep in
mind that if one router in this setup is not Netis you should first confirm it is capable of WDS
and its interface menu may be considerably different:
R1:
¾It should first be established that routers function normally as a routers not in a network
involving WDS, and R1 (the router connected to a modem) should be configured below from a
starting point where it was individually functional.
¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’- ‘Security’ and select and save None as
authentication type
¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’- ‘Basic’and select and save radio mode as
WDS or AP + WDS
¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’- ‘Security’ and select and save None as
WDS authentication type or select a WDS security type, enter key and save. Note that some
other brands of router may not have the option of or be compatible in WDS wireless security.
For key parameters, please refer to Wireless security settings

¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’ - ‘WDS.’ You may choose to click on AP
Scan to scan for R2, select R2 in the window that appears and click on the connect button at the
bottom of the list in this window. The SSID/name and MAC address of R2 will automatically
be entered, and you can click on the Add button to finalize. Alternatively, you may manually
enter the name and MAC address of R2 then click add.
Figure 7-8
R2:
¾Select ‘LAN setup’- ‘LAN IPaddress’, change the IPaddress to something in line with R1.
If R1 is 192.168.1.1 change the R2 to 192.168.1.90 or if the R1 is 192.168.2.1 change the R2 to
192.168.2.90 and so on. Click on the save buttonbelow, and the router will reboot automatically.
You should note what this new IP is as you will need it for future access to the user interface of
this router
¾Select ‘LAN setup’- ‘DHCP Server’, select disable DHCP server
¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’ - ‘Security’ and select and save None as
authentication type
¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’ - ‘Basic’ and select and save radio mode as

¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’ - ‘Security’ and select and the same WDS
security settings as for R1
¾Click on ‘Wireless Management’- ‘AP Setup’ - ‘WDS.’ You may choose to click on AP
Scan to scan for R1, select R1 in the window that appears and click on the connect button at the
bottom of the list in this window. The SSID/name and MAC address of R1 will automatically
be entered, and you can click on the Add button to finalize. Alternatively, you may manually
enter the name and MAC address of R1 then click add.
Note:
¾Please make sure the channel matches in both routers. Click on ‘Wireless management’-
‘AP Setup’ - ‘Basic’, check that channels are the same, and change and save if necessary
¾As there are sometimes compatibility issues between brands, you may need to use
Wireless-G and not Wireless-N. Change settings in both routers. In the Netis router click on
‘Wireless management’- ‘AP Setup’ - ‘Basic’ and select and save a setting that does not include
Wireless-N
¾Please make sure that R1 and R2 are in the same IP range, that is if the IP of R1 is
192.168.1.1, then the IP address of R2 should be 192.168.1.x (the range of x runs from 1
through 255 but 1 should not be used as it is already taken by R1, and other equipment in the
network having static/permanent IPs should also be avoided.
¾Please make sure the WDS authentication type and key in both routers are the same, or
turned off for both and as there are sometimes compatibility issues between brands, you may
need to disable all security.
