Overview
The P-334WH is an IEEE 802.11b/g wireless broadband router with a four-port 10/100 Mbps switch. The P-
334WH also works as an access point (AP) or a Wi-Fi WAN router that allows you to access the Internet via a
wireless WAN connection.
You should have an Internet account already set up and have been given most of the following information.

2 Accessing the Web Configurator
1Launch your web browser. Enter “192.168.1.1” as the web site address.
Note: If the login screen does not display, check your browser’s security settings (see
Troubleshooting for details) or make sure your computer is set to receive an IP address
dynamically (see Set Up Your Computer’s IP Address).
3 Operating Mode
The P-334WH supports three operating modes: Router, Access Point and WiFi WAN Router.
Router (default): Select this mode if the P-334WH is connected to a broadband DSL/cable modem. NAT
allows all LAN computers to access the Internet using the same public IP address.
WiFi WAN Router: In this mode, the P-334WH works similarly as a Router, but uses a wireless WAN
connection via an access point (AP) or wireless router, instead of a wired connection via a DSL/cable modem.
In this mode, the P-334WH does not allow network access to wireless clients (WLAN).
Access Point: In this mode, the P-334WH works as a Router without routing features (such as NAT), firewall,
content filtering, etc.
2The Password window displays. Enter the
password (“1234” is the default) and click Login.
3Change the password in the screen that follows
and click Apply.
4Click Go to Wizard setup to set up your P-334WH
(in router mode) for the first time.
Click Go to Advanced setup to use main menus to
configure advanced features, such as operating
mode.

When the P-334WH is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, all LAN and WAN ports act as a hub.
If you want to configure the operating mode, click Maintenance > Sys OP Mode. See your User’s Guide for
more information about the operating modes.
Note: Use the wizard to configure the P-334WH in Router mode. If you want to use the P-334WH in
Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, use the main menus.
4 Connection Wizard Setup
Note: The connection wizard is for setting up Internet access when the P-334WH is in Router mode
only. If the P-334WH is in Access Point or WiFi WAN Router mode, using the wizard will reset
the operating mode to Router mode (the default).
Internet Access Setup
Note: Enter the Internet access information exactly as given to you by your ISP in each wizard screen
and then click Next to continue or click Back to return to the previous screen.
1After you log into the web configurator and click
Go to Wizard setup,choose your language from
the drop-down list box. Click Next.

STEP 1: System Information
STEP 2: Wireless LAN
Configure ONE of the following wireless security types on the P-334WH:
•Auto security: Have the P-334WH automatically generate a pre-shared key.
•None security: Have no wireless LAN security configured. If you do not enable any wireless security on your P-
334WH, your network is accessible to any wireless networking device that is within range.
•Basic security: WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) encrypts data frames before transmitting over the wireless net-
work. The higher the WEP Encryption, the higher the security but the slower the throughput.
•Extend (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK) security: Configure a Pre-Shared Key. Choose this option only if your wire-
less clients support WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK respectively.
Note: The wireless clients and P-334WH must use the same SSID, channel ID and WPA(2)-PSK (if
WPA(2)-PSK is enabled) or WEP encryption key (if WEP is enabled) for wireless communication.
Auto or No Wireless Security
1This screen is optional. You can just click Next.
•System Name is for identifying the P-334WH. You
can enter your computer's "Computer Name".
• If you leave the Domain Name blank, the domain
name obtained by DHCP from the ISP is used.
A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WH in the wireless LAN.
B Select a wireless security level. Choose Auto or None.
C The P-334WH automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WH and
wireless client must use the same channel.
D If you select Auto and click Next, a screen pops up displaying the generated pre-shared key. Click OK to
continue. You can also view the generated pre-shared key in the Wireless LAN > General screen.

Basic(WEP) Security
A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WH in the wireless LAN.
B Select Basic(WEP) security.
C The P-334WH automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WH and
wireless client must use the same channel.
D Select 64-bit, 128-bit or 256-bit from the WEP Encryption drop-down list.
E Select ASCII or Hex WEP key input method.
F You can create a WEP key by either:
Entering a Passphrase (up to 32 printable characters) and clicking Generate to have the P-334WH
automatically generates four WEP keys.
Or
Manually entering a key in each Key (1~4) field.
G Select one of the Key radio buttons to use as the default WEP key.

Extend (WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK) Security
A Enter a unique name to identify the P-334WH in the wireless LAN.
B Select WPA-PSK or WPA2-PSK security.
C The P-334WH automatically scans for and selects a channel not in use by a nearby device. The P-334WH and
wireless client must use the same channel.
D Type a pre-shared key to have a more secure wireless connection than WEP encryption. Type from 8 to 63
case-sensitive ASCII characters. You can set up the most secure wireless connection by configuring WPA(2)
in the advanced wireless screen. You need to configure a RADIUS server to do this.
