Wireless-N Gigabit Security Router with VPN
Placement Options
There are three ways to place the Wireless-N Router. The first way is to place it horizontally on a surface, so it sits
on its four rubber feet. The second way is to stand the Wireless Router vertically on a surface. The third way is to
mount it on a wall. The stand and wall-mount options are explained in further detail below.
Stand Option
1.
Locate the Router’s left side panel.
2.
The Router includes two stands. With the two large prongs facing outward, insert the short prongs into the
little slots in the Router, and push the stand upward until it snaps into place.
Repeat this step with the other stand.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to “Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the
Wireless-N Router,” for directions on how to set up the Wireless-N Router."

Wall-Mount Option
You will need two suitable screws (See Figure 5-7) to mount the Router. Make sure the screw size can fit into the
criss-cross wall-mount slots.
1.
On the Wireless Router’s back panel are two criss-cross wall-mount slots.
2.
Determine where you want to mount the Wireless Router, and install two screws that are 2-9/16 in (64.5mm)
apart.
3.
Line up the Wireless Router so that the wall-mount slots line up with the two screws.
4.
Place the wall-mount slots over the screws and slide the Wireless Router down until the screws fit snugly into
the wall-mount slots.
Now that the hardware installation is complete, proceed to “Chapter 6: Setting up and Configuring the
Wireless-N Router,” for directions on how to set up the Wireless-N Router."

Chapter 6: Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Overview

Chapter 6: Setting Up and Configuring the Router
Overview
The Wireless Router has been designed to be functional right out of the box with the default settings. However, if
you'd like to change these settings, the Wireless Router can be configured through your web browser with the
Web-based Utility. This chapter explains how to use the Utility to perform the most basic settings.
The Utility can be accessed via web browsers, such as Microsoft Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox through the
use of a computer that is networked with the Wireless Router.
Basic Setup
For a basic network setup, most users only need to use the following screens of the Utility:
•
Setup->WAN
Click the
Setup
tab and then select the
WAN
screen. Select the appropriate Internet Connection Type
according to your ISP if connecting your WAN port to the WAN (DSL or cable modem). Otherwise, most cases
can leave the default setting to get a WAN port IP address from a DHCP server.
•
Setup->Advanced Routing
Click the
Setup
tab and then select the
Advanced Routing
screen. If you are connecting the Router to the
Internet, leave the default setting. Otherwise, choose the
Intranet
Router
Operation Mode to disable NAT
(Network Address Translation).
•
Management
Click the
Administration
tab and then select the
Management
screen. Change the access password for the
Router’s Web-based Utility. The default username and password are
admin
.
Most users will also customize their wireless settings:
•
Wireless
On the
Wireless
screen, change the default SSID on the
Basic Wireless Settings
Tab. Select the level of
security under the
Wireless Security
Tab and complete the options for the selected security mode. When the
appropriate security mode is configured, disable
SSID
Broadcast
on the
Basic Wireless Settings
Tab.

How to Access the Web-based Utility

How to Access the Web-based Utility
There are two ways to connect to your Wireless Router for the first time.
1.
Connect your PC to one of the four LAN ports on the Router. (Refer to "Chapter 5: Connecting the Router.")
Then, configure your PC to obtain IP address automatically through a DHCP server.
2.
Although it is not recommended, you can also connect your PC wirelessly to the Wireless Router. Then,
configure the wireless interface of your PC to obtain IP address automatically through a DHCP server. It is not
recommended, because you can easily lose your connection through wireless configuration changes.
To access the Web-based Utility of the Router:
•
Launch a web browser, such as Internet Explorer or Mozilla Firefox, and enter the Router’s default IP address,
192.168.1.1
, in the
Address
field. Press the
Enter
key.
•
A screen will appear asking you for your User name and Password. Enter
admin
in the
User Name
field, and
enter your password (default password is
admin
) in the
Password
field. Then click the
OK
button.
How to Navigate the Utility
The Web-based Utility consists of the following nine main tabs: Setup, Wireless, Firewall, VPN, QoS,
Administration, IPS, L2 Switch and Status. Additional screens (sub tabs) will be available from most of the main
tabs.
The following briefly describes the main & sub tabs of the Utility.
