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.

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.

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.

This label shows the router’s MAC address (SSID), security PIN, and preset AES
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.
