Introduction
Congratulations on our purchase of the WL-351/368 Wireless Gigabit Router
300N. The WL-351/368 is compliant with 802.11n and up to 6 times faster
than standard 802.11g based routers while still being compatible with
802.11g & 802.11b gadgets. The WL-351/368 is not onl a Wireless Access
Point, but also doubles as a 4-port full-duplex Gigabit switch that connects
our wired-Ethernet devices together at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds.
At 300 Mbps wireless transmission rate, the Access Point built into the Router
uses advanced MIMO (Multi-Input, Multi-Output) technolog to transmit
multiple streams of data in a single wireless channel, giving ou seamless
access to multimedia content. The robust RF signal travels farther, eliminates
dead spots and extends the network range. For data protection and privac ,
the WL-351/368 encodes all wireless transmissions with WEP, WPA, or WPA2
encr ption.
With the inbuilt DHCP Server & powerful SPI firewall, the WL-351/368
protects our computers against intruders and most known Internet attacks
and also provides safe VPN pass-through. With the incredible speed and QoS
function of 802.11n, the WL-351/368 is ideal for media-centric applications
like streaming video, gaming, and VoIP telephon to run multiple media-
intense data streams through the network at the same time, with no
degradation in performance.

function is enabled, this router will use the spanning tree protocol to prevent
network loops.
DHCP Server Enabled b default. You can enable or disable the DHCP server.
When DHCP is disabled no ip-addresses are assigned to clients and ou have to
use static ip-addresses. When DHCP server is enabled our computers will be
assigned an ip-address automaticall until the lease time expires.

Lease Time Forever. In the Lease Time setting ou can specif the time period
that the DHCP lends an IP address to our LAN clients. The DHCP will change
our LAN client’s IP address when this time threshold period is reached.
IP Address P l You can select a particular IP address range for our DHCP
server to issue IP addresses to our LAN Clients.
N te: default IP range is 192.168.0.100 ~ 192.168.0.200. If y u want
y ur PC(s) t have a static/fixed IP address, then y u’ll have t ch se
an IP address utside this IP address P l
D main Name You can specif a Domain Name for our LAN. Or just keep the
default (sitecomwl351).
