Introduction Congratulations on purchasing this Wireless Broadband Router. This Wireless Broadband Router is a cost-effective IP Sharing Router that enables multiple users to share the Internet through an ADSL or cable modem. Simply configure your Internet connection settings in the Wireless Broadband Router and plug your PC to the LAN port and you're ready to share files and access the Internet. -
Page 4: Get To Know The Broadband Router
Get to know the Broadband Router Back Panel The diagram (fig1.0) below shows the broadband router’s back panel. The router’s back panel is divided into three sections, LAN, WAN and Reset: Figure 1.0 1) Local Area Network (LAN) The Broadband router’s 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches etc. -
Page 5: Front Panel
Front Panel On the router’s front panel there are LED lights that inform you of the router’s current status. Below is an explanation of each LED and its description. Light Status Description Router’s power supply is on WAN 10/100M WAN port 100Mbps is connected WAN port 10Mbps is connected WAN LNK/ACT WAN is connected... -

Page 7: Getting Started
Getting started This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet. 1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2). You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP address. - Page 8 8: Reboot the PC. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server. Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obt ain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3 (Page 11).
- Page 9 6: Click OK to confirm the setting. Your PC will now obtain an IP address automatically from your Broadband Router’s DHCP server. Note: Please make sure that the Broadband router’s DHCP server is the only DHCP server available on your LAN. Once you’ve configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically, please proceed to Step 3 (Page 11).
- Page 10 5: After you install TCP/IP, go back to the Network window. Select TCP/IP from the list of Network Protocols and then click the Properties button. 6: Check each of the tabs and verify the following settings: IP Address: Select Obtain an IP address from a DHCP server. DNS: Let all fields are blank.
-
Page 11: Chapter 1
3) Once you have configured your PCs to obtain an IP address automatically, the router’s DHCP server will automatically give your LAN clients an IP address. By default the Broadband Router’s DHCP server is enabled so that you can obtain an IP address automatically. - Page 12 can just configure the General Setup section, since the General Setup/WAN and the Quick Setup Wizard contain the same configurations. Status Information (Chapter 3) The Status Information section is for you to monitor the router’s current status information only. Tools (Chapter 4) If you want to Reset the router (because of problems) or save your configurations or upgrade the firmware then the Tools section is the place to do this.

Page 83: Glossary
Glossary Bridge: A bridge is an intelligent, internetworking device that forwards or filters packets between different networks based on data link layer (MAC) address information. Default Gateway (Router): Every non-router IP device needs to configure a default gateway’s IP address. When the device sends out an IP packet, if the destination is not on the same network, the device has to send the packet to its default gateway, which will then send it out towards the destination. - Page 84 ISP Gateway Address: (see ISP for definition). The ISP Gateway Address is an IP address for the Internet router located at the ISP's office. ISP: Internet Service Provider. An ISP is a business that provides connectivity to the Internet for individuals and other businesses or organizations.
- Page 85 Subnet Mask: A subnet mask, which may be a part of the TCP/IP information provided by your ISP, is a set of four numbers (e.g. 255.255.255.0) configured like an IP address. It is used to create IP address numbers used only within a particular network (as opposed to valid IP address numbers recognized by the Internet, which must be assigned by InterNIC).
