DSL Line

LAN Ports

The Ethernet ports are RJ45, 10/100 auto-negotiation. The ports are labelled 1

through 4. These ports correspond to the numbered LEDs on the front of the

Router. Connect your network-enabled computers or any networking devices

to one of these ports.

3.

This switch allows you to choose the required method to conﬁgure a wireless

connection, either WPS or AOSS. To initiate AOSS, you must also press the

AOSS button on the top of the device.

4.

The "

Reset

" button is located on the bottom of the modem router and should

be used in rare cases when the Router may function improperly. Resetting

the Router will restore the Router’s normal operation while maintaining the

programmed settings.

You can also restore the factory default settings by using the Reset button.

Use the restore option in instances where you may have forgotten your

custom password.

KEY information.

The WBMR-HP-GN is secured by AES encryption in default conﬁguration.

Positioning your Router

Your wireless connection will be stronger the closer your computer is to your

Router. Typical indoor operating range for your wireless devices is between

30m and 60m. In the same way, your wireless connection and performance

will degrade somewhat as the distance between your Router and connected

devices increases. This may or may not be noticeable to you. As you move

farther from your Router, connection speed may decrease. Factors that can

weaken signals simply by getting in the way of your network’s radio waves

are metal appliances, or obstructions, and walls. If you have concerns about

your network’s performance that might be related to range or obstruction

factors, try moving the computer to a position between 1.5m and 3.0m from

the Router, in order to see if distance is the problem.

Installng Your Router

Smart Wizard Installation

To help setup your router and connect to the Internet quickly, the resource

CD contains a Smart Wizard. The wizard on the Air Navigator CD will assist

in connecting your equipment, conﬁguring wireless settings and enabling

security. Insert the CD, launch the wizard and follow the steps as indicated.

You will need the ADSL settings information as provided by your ISP.

Alternatively, to setup the connection manually, proceed to the next section.

Note: If you have a Macintosh or Linux system, you will need to use the

manual installation method.

Manual Installation

1. Power oﬀ your computers and networking equipment.

2. Connect your computer to one of the YELLOW RJ45 ports on the rear of the

Router with the supplied Ethernet network cable.

3.

Connect your ADSL Line

Connection for the Router to the ADSL line varies by country and region.

Typically it involves a microﬁlter or a microﬁlter with built-in splitter to

allow simultaneous use of ADSL service and telephone service on the same

telephone line. Please read the following steps carefully and select the

appropriate method.

• If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone

line, ADSL microﬁlters are needed for each telephone and device, such as

answering machine, fax machine, and caller ID display. Additional splitters

may be used to separate telephone lines for telephone and Router.

Note: Do not connect the ADSL microﬁlter between the wall jack and the

Router—this will prevent ADSL service from reaching the modem.

• If your telephone service and ADSL service are on the same telephone

line and you are using an ADSL microﬁlter with built-in splitter, connect the

splitter to the telephone wall jack providing ADSL service. Then, connect the

telephone cord from the ADSL microﬁlter RJ11 port generally labelled 'DSL' to

the gray RJ11 port labelled 'DSL line' on the back of your Router. Connect the

telephony device to the other port on the ADSL splitter commonly labelled

'Phone'.

• Note: An RJ11 telephone cord is supplied. When inserting an RJ11 plug, be

sure the tab on the plug clicks into position correctly.

• If you have a dedicated ADSL service telephone line with an RJ11 wall jack,

simply connect a telephone cord from the wall jack to the DSL port on the

back of your Router.

• If you have an RJ45 wall jack for your ADSL service, connect an RJ45-to-RJ11

converter to the wall jack. Then connect one end of the telephone cord to the

converter and the other end to the DSL port on the back of your Router.

4.

Powering Up your Router

• Connect the supplied power cord to the Router power-input.
