The WAN “idle timeout” auto-disconnect function may not work due to abnormal activities of some network application
software, computer virus or hacker attacks from the Internet. For example, some software sends network packets to the
Internet in the background, even when you are not using the Internet. So please turn off your computer when you are not
using it. This function also may not work with some ISP. So please make sure this function can work properly when you
use this function in the first time, especially your ISP charge you by time used.

The Broadband router’s 4 LAN ports are where you connect your LAN’s PCs, printer servers, hubs and switches etc.
2) Wide Area Network (WAN)
The WAN port is the segment connected to your xDSL or Cable modem and is linked to the
Internet.

The Reset button allows you to do one of two things.
1) If problems occur with your router, press the router’s reset button with a pencil tip (for less than 5 seconds) and the
router will re-boot itself, keeping your original configurations.
2) If problems persist or you experience extreme problems or you forgot your password, press the reset button for
longer than 5 seconds and the router will reset itself to the factory default settings (

Setup Diagram

Figure 1.2
Getting started
This is a step-by-step instruction on how to start using the router and get connected to the Internet.
1) Setup your network as shown in the setup diagram above (fig 1.2).
2) You then need to set your LAN PC clients so that it can obtain an IP address automatically. All LAN clients require an IP
address. Just like an address, it allows LAN clients to find one another. (If you have already configured your PC to
obtain an IP automatically then proceed to step 3, page 11)
Configure your PC to obtain an IP address automatically
By default the broadband router’s DHCP is on, this means that you can obtain an IP address automatically once you’ve
configured your PC to obtain an IP address automatically. This section will show you how to configure your PC’s so that
it can obtain an IP address automatically for either Windows 95/98/Me, 2000 or NT operating systems. For other
