Broadband Wireless Router (AP) User Manual Renew IP Address on Client PC There is a chance that your PC does not renew its IP address after the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) is on line and the PC can not access the Internet. Please follow the procedures below to renew PC’s IP address.
Once your host PC is properly configured as described in previous chapters, please proceed as follows: 1. Start your web browser and type the private IP address of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) in the URL field: 192.168.0.1. 2. After connecting to the device, you will be prompted to enter username and password. By default, both values are admin (small letters).
Dial On Demand: If checked, under disconnected status, if any client PC sends out request for connection, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) will dial the ISP automatically. In this case, if the system administrator wants to disconnect the PPP session, just click the Disconnect button.
The WAN IP address and the default gateway IP address is assigned by the ISP or DHCP server of another subnet or xDSL/ATU-R. ( If the modem system has DHCP server capability, the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) can act as a DHCP client and receive its WAN IP address and subnet mask from the modem.)
Basic Configuration Bridge By selecting “Bridge” mode you enable bridging over the WAN port. The router can bridge the packets from your local network to the remote LAN over the WAN port. Note The Bridge mode is commonly used on the LAN to LAN architecture.
LAN setting. Wireless SSID (Service Set Identity): A name that uniquely identifies a wireless network. All clients that want to communicate with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) must have the same SSID as it.
Advanced Configuration LAN Setting This page allows you to define the IP address over the LAN interface. IP Address & Subnet Mask: Allows you to specify the private IP address on the device’s LAN interface. By default, the IP address and subnet mask is 192.168.0.1 and 255.255.255.0. It is recommended NOT to change the default settings.

PCs on the LAN. PCs on the LAN will use the assigned IP addresses to access the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) through Ethernet. Default Gateway: Use the LAN port IP address of the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) as the default gateway for PCs on the LAN.
The privacy security function can enhance media security by encryption technology. All clients must set the same encryption key to maintain the tightened communication with the Broadband Wireless Router (AP) properly. To turn on the privacy function: Authentication Algorithm: Select Open Key or Shared Key as the authentication type.
Broadband Wireless Router (AP) User Manual Routing IP Dynamic Routing Routing Information Protocol (RIP) is utilized as a means of exchanging routing information between routers. It helps the routers to determine optimal routes. This page allows you to enable/disable this function.
Advanced Configuration IP Static Routing This page shows all the routing rules of data packets going through your Broadband Wireless Router (AP) if it runs in routing mode. Under normal circumstances, the router has adequate routing information after it has been configured for Internet access, and your don’t need to configure additional static routes.
Broadband Wireless Router (AP) User Manual Forwarding The Broadband Wireless Router (AP) implements NAT to let your entire local network appear as a single machine to the Internet. The typical situation is that you have local servers for different services and you want to make them publicly accessible. With NAT applied, it will translate the internal IP addresses of these servers to a single IP address that is unique on the Internet.
Advanced Configuration NAT separates an external network from directly referencing an internal network. With DMZ configuration, a DMZ host acts as a neutral zone between the private network and the outside network. For example, if you have a host providing online games or videoconferencing applications which are incompatible through NAT, you can specify its IP address here and then click the Apply button.
