Introduction

With the explosive growth of the Internet, accessing information and services at any time, day or night has become a

standard requirement for most people. The era of the standalone PC is waning. Networking technology is moving out of

the exclusive domain of corporations and into homes with at least two computers.

This integrated access device combines Internet gateway functions with wireless LAN and Fast Ethernet switch.

Designed for the business and home, it saves you the cost of installing a separate modem and ISP line for each computer,

while providing ready connection for the users, with or without the network wires.

Broadband network access is also gaining ground. However, allowing more than two computers to access the Internet at

the same time means less affordable, higher costs. Thus, there is a need to share one legal IP address over a single

Internet connection to link the home with the Internet.

The scarcity of IP addresses and using a shared Internet connection through an Internet sharing device can solve high

network access costs. All linked computers can make full use of broadband capabilities over such a device.

This device not only comes equipped with a wide range of features, but also can be installed and configured right out of

the box. This device supports a simple local area network and Internet access share, offering great cost savings.

The local area network connects up home computers while also allowing any of the computers to access the Internet,

share resources, or play online games—the basis of the family computing lifestyle.

Applications

Broadband Internet access:

Several computers can share one high-speed broadband connection through wireless or

wired (WLAN, LAN and WAN-Internet).

Resource sharing:

Share resources such as printers, scanners and other peripherals.

File sharing:

Exchange data, messages, and distribute files thus making good use of hard disk space.

Online gaming:

Through the local area network, online gaming and e-commerce services can be easily setup.

Firewall:

A built-in firewall function — for security and anti-hack system.

Unpacking and Setup

This chapter provides unpacking and setup information for the IEEE 802.11g Wireless Broadband Router.

Unpacking

Open the box of the Wireless Broadband Router and carefully unpack it. The box should contain the following items:

One IEEE 802.11g Wireless Broadband Router

One 2dBi dipole antenna

One CD-ROM with User’s Guide

One AC Power adapter

If any item is found missing or damaged, please contact your local reseller for replacement.

Setup

The setup of the Wireless Broadband Router can be performed properly using the following methods:

The power outlet should be within 1.82 meters (6 feet) of the Broadband Router.

Visually inspect the DC power jack and make sure that it is fully secured to the power adapter.

Make sure that there is proper heat dissipation from and adequate ventilation around the Broadband Router.

Do not

place heavy objects on the Broadband Router.

Fix the direction of the antennas. Try to place the Wireless Router in a position that can best cover your wireless network.

Normally, the higher you place the antenna, the better the performance will be. The antenna’s position enhances the

receiving sensitivity.
