1. Connect the provided UTP LAN cable to one of the router’s LAN port.
2. Connect the other end of the UTP LAN cable to your computer’s LAN port.
3. Connect the second UTP LAN cable to router’s WAN port.
4. Connect the other end of the UTP LAN cable to ADSL or Modem port.
5. Plug the PowerAdapter into the Router and then into an outlet.
6. Turn on your computer.
7. Check and confirm that the Power LED and LAN LED on the router are ON.
3.2 Check the Installation
The control LEDs of the WLAN Router are clearly visible and the status of the network link
can be seen instantly:
1. With the power source on, once the device is connected to the broadband modem, the
Power, CPU, LAN, WLAN and WAN port LEDs of the WLAN Router will blink for one time
indicating a normal status.
2. When the WAN Port is connected to the ADSL/Cable modem, the WAN LED will light up.
3. When the LAN Port is connected to the computer system, the LAN LED will light up.
3.3 Set up the Computer
The default IP address of the Router is 192.168.1.1, the default Subnet Mask is
255.255.255.0. Both of these parameters can be changed as you want. In this guide, we
will use the default values for description.
Connect the local PC to the LAN port on the Router. There are then two ways to configure
the IP address for your PC.
Configure the IP address manually
1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol for your PC.
2. Configure the network parameters. The IP address is 192.168.1.xxx (“xxx” range from 2
to 254). The Subnet Mask is 255.255.255.0 and Gateway is 192.168.1.1 (Router’s
default IP address).
Obtain an IP address automatically
1. Set up the TCP/IP Protocol in Obtain an IP address automatically mode on your PC.
2. Power off the Router and PC. Then turn on the Router and restart the PC. The built-in
DHCP server will assign IP address for the PC.
Now, you can run the Ping command in the command prompt to verify the
network connection between your PC and the Router. Open a command prompt,
and type in ping 192.168.1.1, then press Enter.

If the result displayed is similar to that shown in above figure, it means that the connection
between your PC and the Router has been established.
If the result displayed is similar to that shown in the above figure, it means that your PC has
not connected to the Routersuccessfully. Please check it following below steps:
1. Is the connection between your PC and the Router correct?
If correct, the LAN port on the Router and LED on your PC’s adapter should be lit.
2. Is the TCP/IP configuration for your PC correct?
Since the Router’s IP address is 192.168.1.1, your PC’s IP address must be within the
range of 192.168.1.2 ~ 192.168.1.254, the Gateway must be 192.168.1.1.

Router.
New Login ID: type in the name that you use to login the web interface of the router or
change a new one.
New Password: new password is used for administrator authentication.
Re-type New Password: new password should be re-entered to verify its accuracy.
4.3 Internet Setup
This page is used to configure the parameters for Internet Network which connects to your
wireless Router WAN port. WAN access modes include DHCP, PPPoE and Static IP.
1. Click Internet Setup, it will show you three modes to choose:
4.3.1 DHCP User
If you choose DHCP User, your computer will get dynamic IP address from your ISP
(Internet Service Provider) operator automatically.
Note: password length is 8 characters maximum, characters after the 8th position will be truncated.

11
4.3.2 PPPoE User (ADSL)
Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a virtual private and secure connection
between two systems that enables encapsulated data transport. It replies on two widely
accepted standards: PPP and Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the
Internet with a common broadband medium, such as wireless device or cable modem. All
the users over the Ethernet can share a common connection. If you use ADSL virtual
dial-up to connect Internet, please choose this option.
User ID: a specific valid ADSL user name provided by your ISP.
Password: the corresponding valid password provided by your ISP.

12
4.3.3 Static IP
Input the IP address that provided by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). If you are not
clear about this, please consult with your local ISP.
WAN IP: the IP address provided by your ISP.
Subnet Mask: This is used to define the device IP classification for the chosen IP address
range. 255.255.255.0 is a typical net mask value for Class C networks. Generally it is
provided by your ISP.
Default Gateway: This is the IP address of the host router that resides on the external
network and provides the point of connection to the next hop towards the Internet. This can
be a DSL modem, Cable modem, or a WISP gateway router. The router will direct all the
packets to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network.
Primary DNS: Domain Name System. Every Internet host must have a unique IP address,
also they may have a human-friendly, easy to remember name such as www.yahoo.com.
The DNS server converts the user-friendly name into its equivalent IP address. This is
provided by your ISP.
After you finish the blank that required, you could click Apply to make it work.
4.4 Wireless Setup
Click Wireless Setup, you will see below interface. This webpage shows the basic wireless
parameters and wireless authentication ways.
Operation: You can choose Start or Stop the wireless function.

13
SSID: You can change the SSID for your wireless router.
Mode: If wireless connection conforms to 11g, 11b and 11n standards.
Region: Area where you are using the wireless router.
Channel: Choose the wireless channel in AP mode. If in client mode, channel option is
disabled.
Encryption: You can choose Automatic, Open System, Shared Key, WPAPSK, WPA2PSK,
WPAPSK/WPA2PSK.
WEP: Wired Equivalent Protocol is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard and uses the RC4
encryption algorithm. Enabling WEP allows you to increase security by encryption data
being transferred over your wireless network. WEP is the oldest security algorithm, and
there are few applications that can decrypt the WEP key in less than 10 minutes.
WPA: WiFi Protected Access,WPA is an intermediate solution for the security issues. It uses
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) to replace WEP. It is the most dominating security
mechanism in industry. It is separated into two categories: WPA-personal or called WPA
Pre-Share Key (WPA/PSK), and WPA-Enterprise or called WPA/802.1x.
WPA2: means Wi-Fi Protected Access 2, it is the current most secure method of wireless
security and required for 802.11n performance.
TKIP--Temporal Key Integrity Protocol is one cipher for data encryption supported by WPA.
It is a compromise on strong security and possibility to use existing hardware. It still uses
RC4 for the encryption like WEP, but with per-packet RC4 keys. In addition, it
implements replay protection, keyed packet authentication mechanism (Michael MIC).
AES--Advanced Encryption Standard is another cipher for data encryption supported by
WPA.

4.5 Firmware Upgrade
New version of firmware will be released to improve the various efficiency or to fix some
bugs. This page allows you to upgrade the Access Point firmware to new version. Following
the steps show below so as to realize upgrading.
Please note: DO NOT power off the device during upgrading because it may crash the
system.
After finishing the settings above, you’d better restart your computer and the Router to
connect to Internet successfully.Then you can enjoy the high-speed and high-stability Internet
through this Router.
5. ADVANCED SETUP
The Advanced Setup includes Network, Wireless, NAT/Routing, Firewall, Utility, Traffic and
System. These settings are only for more technically advanced users who have sufficient
knowledge about wireless LAN. Also they should not be changed unless you know what
effect the changes will have on your Wireless Router.
5.1 Network
Click the plus sign beside Network menu to show up all Network parameters you could set
up.

15
5.1.1 Internet Status
This page shows the Internet Status of this Router.
5.1.2 LAN Status
This page shows you LAN Status after your successful settings.
5.1.3 Internet Setup
We have discussed this setting on 4.3 Internet Setup. You can reconfigure these settings
on this page, please enter the parameters according to what your ISP provided.

16
5.1.4 LAN/DHCP Server
Click LAN/DHCP Server, you will enter the page that allows you configure the LAN port
and DHCP Server. Since the LAN configuration we have discussed before, here we will tell
you how to set up the DHCP Server parameters.
DHCP Server: you can choose to start or stop DHCP.
DHCP IP Pool: it is the IP range that the DHCP server will assign to every PC connected
with the router.
Lease Time: the IP addresses given out by the DHCP server will only be valid for the
duration specified by the lease time. Increasing the time ensure client operation without
interrupt, but could introduce potential conflicts. Lowering the lease time will avoid potential

17
address conflicts, but might cause more slight interruptions to the client while it will acquire
new IP addresses from the DHCP server. The time is expressed in seconds.
Block MAC address on the list with wrong IP address: The PC’S MAC address has
existed on the rule but with the wrong IP can’t connect to Internet.
Block MAC address not on the list: The PC’s MAC address isn’t exists on the rule can’t
connect to Internet.
Static Lease (IP/MAC Address):
Static Lease function allows you reserve IP addresses, and assign the same IP address to
the network device with the specified MAC address any time it requests an IP address. This
is almost the same as when a device has a static IP address except that the device must
still request an IP address from the DHCP server. You can enable or disable this function.
5.2 Wireless
Next, you can set up the Wireless parameters. Click the plus sign beside Wireless menu to
open up all wireless parameters, see below figure:
5.2.1 Wireless Status
Click Wireless Status menu, it will show you the current wireless status about the Router.

18
5.2.2 Wireless Setup
Click Wireless Setup, you will be able to configure the wireless corresponding function. We
have discussed this setting on 4.4 Internet Setup.
5.2.3 Multiple BSS
Multiple BSS function allows you to add other SSID for different needs. What’s more, you
can setup different encryption for different SSIDs.
SSID: define the SSID by yourself.
Access Policy: setup the access policy as you want. Allow all, only for Internet or only for
LAN according to your need.
SSID Broadcast: choose to hide or broadcast your SSID.
WMM: it is an abbreviation of Wi-Fi Multimedia. It defines the priority levels for four access
categories derived from 802.1d (prioritization tabs). The categories are designed with
specific types of traffic, voice, video, best effort and low priority data.
Encryption: you can choose the encryption method for WMM. Please refer to wireless
security setup.

19
QoS: this option allows you to limit the download and upload data rate for every PCs
connected with the router. So the bandwidth can be used reasonably.
5.2.4 Wireless Multibridge
When the wireless signal is too weak as the long distance, you can enable this function to
extend the WiFi coverage.
Wireless Bridge: In this mode, the router is used as an AP to get other router’s signal.
Wireless WAN: The same function as Wireless Bridge, but the only setting difference is
that Wireless WAN need not to stop the DHCP Server.
SSID: Click Search AP; choose the SSID of your Primary Router and then enter the
encryption key of the upperAP if the encryption is enabled.
5.2.5 MAC Authentication
You can control the PC to connect the wireless Router through MAC authentication. At first,
you should select the SSID of your wireless network. Then you can setup to allow all or just
allow the specific PCs to connect to your wireless network.
Note: Both these two repeater methods can help you to expand the wireless coverage and allow
more terminals to access Internet. But since Wireless WAN need not stop DHCP Server, all PCs’ IP
Addresses are assigned by the Secondary Router itself. So this method allows more PCs to access
Internet than Wireless Bridge. In Wireless Bridge mode, the PCs’ permissions to access Internet are
decided by Primary Router which can make users to manage the LAN more easily.
