Chapter 1. Introduction
1.1 Overview of the Router
Small enough to fit in the average pocket, the router is uniquely suited to provide robust wireless

older 802.11b/g standards as well. The up-to-150Mbps wireless speed makes it ideal for handling
multipledatastreamsatthesametime,whichensuresyournetworkstableandsmooth.
The router supports five operation modes. Wireless Router mode creates an instant private wireless
network and share Internet to multiple Wi-Fi devices, which is suitable for most hotel and home
network. Access Point mode creates a wireless network for Wi-Fi devices. The wireless devices are
exposed to the wired network. Repeater mode extends your home wireless range by copying the
same wireless name and password. Client mode works as a wireless adapter for any
Ethernet-enabled devices, such as Smart TV, Game Console and PC. WISP Client Router mode
accessestheInternetwirelesslyinareaswithnowiredISPinfrastructure
With multiple protection measures, including SSID broadcast control and wireless LAN
64/128/152-bit WEP encryption, WiFi protected Access (WPA2-PSK, WPA-PSK), as well as
advancedFirewallprotections,therouter providescomplete dataprivacy.
The router supports Virtual Server and DMZ host for Port Triggering, and then the network
administrators can manage and monitor the network in real time with the remote management
function.
Since the Router is compatible with virtually all the major operating systems, it is very easy to

Chapter 2. Connecting theRouter
2.1 System Requirements
Each PC in the LAN needs a workingEthernetAdapter
TCP/IPprotocolmust be installedon each PC
Web browser,suchas Microsoft InternetExplorer 5.0 or later, Mozilla Firefox,Apple Safari
If the device is configured to Wireless Router/Access Point mode, you also need Broadband
InternetAccess Service (DSL/Cable/Ethernet)
One DSL/Cable Modem that has an RJ45 connector (which is not necessary if the Router is
connecteddirectlyto the Ethernet.)
2.2 Installation Environment Requirements
Place the Routerin a well-ventilatedplacefar from any heateror heatingvent
Place the Router in a location where it can be connected to the various devices as well as to
a powersource
Avoid direct irradiationof any strong light (suchas sunlight)
Keep at least 2 inches(5 cm) of clear spacearoundthe Router
OperatingTemperature:0℃~40℃(32℉~104℉)
OperatingHumidity:10%~90%RH,Non-condensing

2.3.1 Wireless Router Mode
Create an instant private wireless network and share Internet to multiple Wi-Fi devices. This mode
is suitable for hotel rooms and home networks. (Note: if the hotel’s Internet has an authentication
process,you will need to authenticateonly onceand only on one device.)
1. Connectthe LAN/WAN port of the routerto the LAN Port on the DSL/CableModem.
2. Connectthe WAN port on the DSL/CableModemto the wired Internet.
3. Plug the power plugof the router in electricalwall socket.
4. Poweron the DSL/CableModem,PC(s) and notebook(s).
2.3.2 Access Point Mode
Create a wireless network from an Ethernet connection. This mode is suitable for dorm rooms or
homes where there's already a wired router but you need a wireless hotspot. (Note: if the hotel’s
Internet has an authenticationprocess,youwill needto authenticateit on EACH device.)
1. Connect the LAN or LAN/WAN port of the router to the wired network port with an Ethernet
cable.
