Setup Instructions
ROUTER MODE
For this mode the ZuniDigital ZGR304 uses a wired Broadband connection as the WAN (Internet) connection, to create a
new personal network that can then be shared booth via Wi-Fi and the four LAN ports.
For the best results do not place the ZGR304 near any large metal objects or magnets (like those found in speakers).
Also note that elevating the router from the floor will increase wireless broadcast signal performance and range.
TO SETUP THE ROUTER YOU WILL SELECT ROUTER MODE
FROM THE SETUP HOMEPAGE
GETTING STARTED
Step 1 - Attach LAN (Ethernet) Cable
Attach one side of an RJ-45 Ethernet cable into the LAN (Ethernet) port of the ZGR304 Router, and then connect the
other end to the Ethernet port on your setup computer or laptop.
LAN

Step 2 - Attach Power Cable
If you are using the AC adapter, plug it into a wall socket and plug the power tip into the ZGR304’s 5v power port. If
you are using a USB cable, you can provide power to the router from any electronic device with a USB port (device must
be on to power the router). Please wait 30 seconds for the router to fully boot up before continuing to the next step.
Step 3 - Access Web Configuration
From your computer, open a Web browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, etc.) then type 192.168.11.1 into the address
bar and press the “ENTER"key. (We recommend you disable your wireless adaptor, if you have one on the setup
computer.)
Step 4 - Setup Login
A login window will appear and you now key in the default User Name (admin) / Password (admin) and click the LogIn
button.

Step 5 –Enter the Setup Wizard
You can manually set up the unit, but we recommend that users click the “Run Setup Wizard” button on the ZGR304
router’s main page, or from the navigation menu on the left side of the web interface.
Step 6 - Begin the Setup Wizard
To begin the Setup Wizard click the “Next” button. If you wish to exit the Setup Wizard click the “Cancel” button.
Step 7 - Configure LAN (Ethernet) Parameters
The pre-entered default values should work for most networks, but if they need to be modified you can do so now. Unless
you are an advanced user we recommend that you use these default settings when creating your Local Area Network
(LAN), because changing the default values listed may interfere with the router's operation. Once the values are set, press
the “Next” button.

Step 8 - Configure WAN (Internet) Parameters
This step lets you configure the router to utilize the broadband signal provided by the Internet provider. The majority of
providers use DHCP which is the default setting of the ZuniDigital ZGR304. This setting should work in most locations,
but if you have any questions on which settings to use, please contact your Internet Service Provider or your local network
administrator.
Step 9 - Configure Basic Wi-Fi Settings
Use this page to personalize the name of the wireless network (SSID) to be broadcast by the ZuniDigital ZGR304. This
name will be broadcast so that your WiFi devices can log onto your network. If desired, changes can be made to these
settings, but it is recommended that only experienced users do so. Otherwise it is recommended that you do not make any
changes to default values that are listed. However, you can name your network any name that you wish.

Step 10 - Apply Wi-Fi Network Security Settings
By default, the ZuniDigital ZGR304 broadcasts as an OPEN network with no data encryption. If you wish to enable
network encryption to help secure your network, please select the encryption type you want to use, establish a password
that you can remember, and then click the “Finished” button. This will finalize the settings for your ZGR304 and you
may begin using it as a wireless router.
Step 11 - Using the ZGR304 Router
Attach the Ethernet cable that provides your Internet connection into the WAN (Internet) port, (this is typically from a
cable or dsl modem) then power the ZGR304 router ON and wait for it to fully boot. The router will broadcast the SSID
setup in step 9 and now you can connect wireless devices to the ZGR304.
RESTORE FACTORY DEFAULT SETTINGS
Should you at any time wish to restore the factory default settings press and hold the “Reset” button on the
bottom of the ZGR304 Router for 10 seconds, then release. The router will re-boot and all of the original
factory settings will be restored. You can then change the settings as you see fit. Also, you can use the
reboot process if you forget your password and wish to set up a new one. Remember when you reboot the
router will operate as an open mode, and you will need to reenter a password to protect you network.

Access Point MODE
TO USE AP MODE, YOU MUST FIRST SETUP THE ZGR304 IN
ROUTER MODE
By sliding this switch you will switch from router mode to AP mode.
In AP mode the ZuniDigital ZGR304 acts as a bridge between your existing wired network and your wireless equipped
devices. Once you have set up the ZGR304 in Router mode simply move the switch on the back of the ZGR304 to AP.
Step 1 - Attach Ethernet Cable
To use AP Mode, you must have a WIRED Broadband connection available. Attach an RJ-45 Ethernet cable that feeds
from your Router, Switch or Hub into the WAN port of the ZGR304 Router. (This provides your Internet connection)
Step 2 –Access the Internet in AP Mode
To access the Internet from a wireless enabled device, you will look for the name of your network that was established in
the Router setup. You will need the password that you entered in order to gain access to this WiFi connection. The four
LAN ports are available to provide access to any devices that lack wireless capability and instead need to connect via an
Ethernet Cable.
IMPORTANT NOTE
Should you need to access the setup screen from AP Mode, you will need to reset the device, as the unit will no
longer have a pre-set IP address assigned to it.
Helpful Hint: The goal of using an AP is to extend the range of your network. In general the best location to place the
Access Point is at the center of your wireless coverage area. If you are seeking coverage in difficult to reach areas, place
the access point nearest that area. Obviously you are limited to areas that are covered by your existing wired network.

PROBLEM
POSSIBLE SOLUTIONS
I cannot connect to the Internet wirelessly using the
router, and the ZuniConnect SSID is not available
Verify the router is powered ON and a working
Broadband Internet cable is plugged into the Internet
(WAN) port on the router.
If you are far away from the router try moving closer to
it.
Connect one end of an Ethernet cable to the LAN port
on the router and the other end to the Ethernet port on
your laptop or netbook. Log into the Web
configuration utility and verify the router is setup
correctly and the SSID is broadcasting.
The setup computer cannot access the Web based
configuration screen.
Make sure any wireless network adapters on the setup
computer have been powered OFF or disabled.
Make sure the wired Ethernet adapter on the setup
computer is set to receive an IP address automatically.
Reboot the setup computer with the RJ-45 Ethernet
cable from the ZuniConnect Bridge attached.
Be sure you are typing the correct IP address into your
Web browser (192.168.11.1)
Wireless network performance is slow.
Since WiFi networking is radio based, performance
will be affected by the distance between the wireless
client and the router itself. To improve performance
move closer to the router or try changing the SSID
broadcast channel. To change the broadcast channel
use the Web based configuration utility --- LAN
section.
Some devices cannot connect to the wireless network
Make sure that all of the clients attempting to connect
to the router’s wireless signal are using the correct
password.
