REAR PANEL
Figure 2: Rear Panel
The following items are located on the rear panel (from left to right).
ANTENNAS The access point includes integrated MIMO antennas for wireless
communications. A MIMO antenna system uses two or more identical
antennas to receive and transmit signals, helping to increase data
throughput and range. The antennas transmit the outgoing signal as a
toroidal sphere (doughnut shaped), with the coverage extending most in a
direction perpendicular to the antenna. The antennas should be adjusted to
an angle that provides the appropriate coverage for the service area.
POWER CONNECTOR The wireless router must be powered with its supplied power adapter.
Failure to do so results in voiding of any warrantly supplied with the
product.
RESET BUTTON The Reset button is used to restore the factory default configuration. If you
hold down the button for 5 seconds or more, any configuration changes
you may have made are removed, and the factory default configuration is
restored to the wireless router.
USB PORT Connects with a USB mass storage device.

CONNECTING THE ROUTER
Before installing the Router, make sure your PC is successfully connected to
the Internet through the broadband service. If there is any problem, first
contact your ISP.
Install the Router according to the following steps.
1. Power off your PC, Cable/DSL modem, and the Router.
2. Find a good location for the Router. The best place is usually at the
center of your network. The location must meet the Installation
Environment Requirements (page 17).
3. Adjust the position of the antennas. Normally, upright is the best
position.
4. Connect wired PCs and switches/hubs to the LAN ports on the Router,
as shown in Figure 3 on page 19.
5. Connect the DSL/Cable modem to the WAN port on the Router, as
shown in Figure 3 on page 19.
6. Connect the power adapter to the power socket on the Router, and the

3QUICK INSTALLATION GUIDE
TCP/IP CONFIGURATION
This chapter shows you how to quickly configure the basic functions of your
SMCWGBR14-N2 Wireless N Gigabit Router using the Quick Setup Wizard.
The default IP address of the SMCWGBR14-N2 Wireless N Gigabit Router is
192.168.2.1. And the default Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0. These values
can be changed as needed. In this guide, the default values are used for all
descriptions.
Connect a local PC to one of the LAN ports on the Router. Then configure
the IP address for the PC in one of the following two ways.
Configure the IP address manually
1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC. If you need instructions on how
to do this, refer to “Configuring the PCs” on page 119.
2. Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.2.xxx
(“xxx” is any number from 2 to 254), the Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0, and the Gateway is 192.168.2.1 (the Router's default
IP address).
Obtain an IP address automatically
1. Set the TCP/IP Protocol to “Obtain an IP address automatically” mode
on your PC. If you need instructions on how to do this, refer to
“Configuring the PCs” on page 119.
2. The built-in DHCP server will assign an IP address for the PC.
Now you can run the Ping command from the command prompt to verify
the network connection between your PC and the Router. The following
example is for Windows 2000 OS.
Open a command prompt, and type “ping 192.168.2.1” and then press
Enter.
If the displayed result is similar to the following figure, it means the
connection between your PC and the Router is functioning.
