Ethernet cables
Ethernet cables are usually constructed from unscreened, “Cat 5” cable with
RJ45 connecters at both ends. Cables of this type can be purchased at most
computer retailers.
Installation Troubleshooting
• Check that the Power Adapter is both plugged into a working power socket and connected
to the Router. Check the green PWR LED on the Router is turned on. Only use the power
adapter that was supplied with your Router.
• The wired PC should connect to a LAN port of the Router using an Ethernet cable. The
corresponding LAN LED of the Router should be on.
• The Router ADSL port should be connected to your ADSL line. The ADSL LED should be on
when there is a valid connection (synchronization) with your ADSL line.
• Power up your equipment in the following order: First the ADSL Router and then your PC.
Leave at least 30 seconds between turning on each device.
• The PC should be setup to obtain an IP address automatically from the Router's DHCP
server. See the user manual on the CD for details of how to setup your PC to obtain
an IP address.
• Check that web proxy is disabled on your PC. Go to the Control Panel and select Internet
Options. Select the Connections tab and click the LAN Settings button. Check that the
Use Proxy Server option is not ticked.
• Check you can access the Router's web interface. Open a browser and enter
http://192.168.2.1 to access the default IP address of the Router.
WAN Connection Troubleshooting
• Check that you have selected the correct WAN connection option and the ISP details
are correct. If you do not have these details, they can be obtained from your ISP.
• If you have any PPPoE client applications already installed on your PC which were
required when your PC was directly connected to the DSL modem, they must be
disabled.
Wireless Troubleshooting
• Check that the SSID is the same on the Router and the wireless PC.
• Check that the wireless encryption is the same on the Router and the wireless PC. To
help debug a problem, turn off encryption in both the Router and wireless PC until you
can establish a connection. After a change in encryption, some PCs may have to be
restarted.
• The wireless PCs must be set to Infrastructure mode to work with a Router.
• If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, ensure that the
wired Ethernet cable is unplugged.
• Check that the Router WLAN LED is on, to indicate that Wireless networking is
enabled. To enable wireless networking, go to the Router Wireless page and enable
Wireless Networking.
• If there are a number of wireless networks within range, then you may experience poor
wireless performance if the wireless channels are too close together. Ideally,
neighbouring wireless networks should be at least 5 channels apart. The wireless channel is
controlled by and set in the Router.
• The Router has a feature called MAC Filter which controls which wireless PCs have
access to the wireless LAN. If this feature is enabled, then ensure that the MAC address of
your wireless PC card is listed in the MAC Filter page.

Initial Configuration
Thank you for choosing the SMC BarricadeTM ADSL2 Wireless Broadband
VoIP Router. This Quick Installation Guide will enable you to have your new
router up and running in a few minutes. Please complete each stage of these
easy to follow instructions.
The position of your Router is important to its wireless performance. The
Router should be located in a central position relative to the wireless PCs that will
connect to it. A suitable location might be on a high shelf or a similar
position that allows good wireless coverage from the Router to the wireless PCs.
To meet the FCC wireless radiation exposure regulations, the Router should
be located in a position to maintain a minimum distance of 20cm (8 inches)
from any personnel.
Connect all of the computers that you want to share
on your internet connection to your router. During
the initial setup, SMC recommend that the Router is
configured from a wired Ethernet PC as shown in the
diagram.
To keep the high-frequency ADSL signals from
interfering with telephone calls, each phone must
be connected to the phone-line through a
splitter (also known as and ADSL microfilter).
The ADSL connection of the router does not
require to be filtered as the frequencies
produced by telephones do not interfere
with the ADSL connection.

• Wireless Channel - Router default is Auto The Router will autom-
atically select a clear wireless channel. If there are no other wireless
networks in the area, the Router will default to channel 6. The wireless
PCs will automatically scan the channels to detect which channel the
Router is using.
If this is your only wireless network, then you can use the Router's default
settings. Now set your wireless PC to have the same SSID and encryption
settings as the Router. The wireless PCs must also be set to use
infrastructure mode.
2. If your computer has both a wired and wireless connection installed, then
you must ensure that only one type is used at a time, to connect to the
LAN. To use the wireless connection, unplug the wired Ethernet cable and
reboot the PC.
3. Once you have setup the same SSID and Encryption in the Router and
wireless PC, open a browser and try to connect to www.smc.com. If you
can access the internet, then you have successfully set up your wireless LAN.
4. SMC recommends that you enable wireless encryption to improve the
security of your wireless network. Note that if you change the wireless
settings (e.g. SSID or WEP) of your Router from a wireless PC, then you
may lose contact with your Router. To re-establish the wireless connection,
change the wireless settings of your PC to be the same as the Router.
