Setup Wizard

is provided as part of the web configuration utility. Users can simply finish

the settings on this page to get the Wireless Router ready to access Internet.

4.3.1 Internet Configuration Wizard

This part is used to configure the parameters for Internet network which connects to the

WAN port of your Access Point. There are three methods provided to allow you to access

Internet. Please choose the appropriate one according to the information provided by your

ISP (Internet Service Provider).

4.3.1.1 DHCP (Cable)

If you choose DHCP (Cable), you will get a dynamic IP address from your ISP automatically

and you don’t need to do any settings.

4.3.1.2 Static IP

If your ISP has provided the fixed IP that enable you to access Internet, please choose this

option and provide below information.

WAN IP:

the IP address provided by your ISP.

Subnet Mask:

This is used to define the device IP classification for the chosen IP address

range. 255.255.255.0 is a typical net mask value for Class C networks. Generally it is

provided by your ISP.

Default Gateway:

This is the IP address of the host router that resides on the external

network and provides the point of connection to the next hop towards the Internet. This can

be a DSL modem, Cable modem, or a WISP gateway router. The router will direct all the

packets to the gateway if the destination host is not within the local network.

Primary DNS:

The Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet “phone book”, which

translates domain names to IP addresses. These fields identify the server IP addresses

where the DNS requested are forwarded by this router.

4.3.1.3 PPPoE (ADSL)

Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet (PPPoE) is a virtual private and secure connection

between two systems that enables encapsulated data transport. It replies on two widely

accepted standards: PPP and Ethernet. It connects users through an Ethernet to the

Internet with a common broadband medium, such as wireless device or cable modem. All

the users over the Ethernet can share a common connection. If you use ADSL virtual

dial-up to connect Internet, please choose this option.

User Name:

a specific valid ADSL user name provided by your ISP.

Password:

the corresponding valid password provided by your ISP.

4.3.2 Wireless Setting

This part is provided for wireless parameter settings. If setup correctly, you can access

Internet wirelessly.

12

Wireless Network Name (SSID):

define a name for you wireless network.

Encryption:

this step in fact is to set a password for your wireless network to prevent

others from using your WLAN.

Note:

After you set the Encryption, please remember your Wireless Network Name (SSID). Then

search for the SSID on your PC to build a wireless connection with the device. So you can enjoy the

wireless function of this Router.
