2. Connecting the Device
To connect the device, do as follows:
Step 1
Connect one end of the RJ45 cable to the LAN interface of the wireless router.
Step 2
Connect the other end of the RJ45 cable to your PC.
Step 3
Connect the power adapter to the power socket of the wireless router.
2-1 Operation Range
The operation range of the wireless router depends on the actual environment. The path and
effect of signal transmission varies according to the deployment when in a house or an office. For
example, the outdoor straight transmission distance for a certain device can be 300 meters and
the indoor transmission distance can be 100 meters.

2-2 Roaming
Suppose several wireless routers run in the same network. Each wireless router serves as a
BSS that has its coverage range. One wireless client (for example, a notebook PC or PDA) can
roam from one AP to another AP accurately. In that case, the wireless client can communicate
with the other devices within the coverage range of the wireless router.
For roaming in the coverage range of the wireless router by a wireless client, you need to set
the APs properly as follows:
•
Set the same SSID for different APs.
•
The SSIDs of all the computers and PDAs should be consistent with that of APs.
•
All the BSSs must use the same wireless channel.
•
If the encryption function is enabled, all wireless routers must be configured with the
same encryption mode and encryption key for establishing connection.
•
Wireless routers must keep coverage of uninterrupted wireless signals in the whole
operation environment. Hence, please place wireless routers at appropriate places.

2-3 TCP/IP Settings and Wireless Connection Introduction
By default, the LAN IP address of the wireless router is
192.168.2.1
, the subnet mask is
255.255.255.0
and the DHCP server is enabled.
It is recommended to set the network adapter to obtain an IP address automatically. Then, your
PC obtains the TCP/IP settings, including the IP address, subnet mask, gateway and DNS
address automatically through the wireless router. If you know the settings of the current LAN
interface, you can manually set the TCP/IP properties of the network adapter, so that your PC
can communicate with the wireless router.
To manually set the network adapter, do as follows:
Step 1
Right-click the icon of
My Network Places
and choose
Properties
from the menu.
The
Network Connections
window appears.
