Appendix 1 Glossary

Channel:

A distinct frequency range within the 2.4 GHz wavelength. There are 11 available

channels in North America ranging from 2412 MHz to 2462MHz.

SSID:

SSID (Service Set Identifier) is the network name shared by all devices in a wireless

network. Your network’s SSID should be unique to your network and identical for all

devices within the network. It is case-sensitive and must not exceed 20 characters.

Make sure this setting is the same for all devices in your wireless network.

WPA/WPA2 Encryption:

A security protocol for wireless networks that builds on the basic foundations of WEP. It

secures wireless data transmission by using a key similar to WEP, but the added

strength of WPA is that the key changes dynamically. The changing key makes it much

more difficult for a hacker to learn the key and gain access to the network. WPA2 is the

second generation of WPA security and provides a stronger encryption mechanism

through Advanced Encryption Standard (AES), which is a requirement for some

government users.

This section provides some solutions to the problems which may occur during the

router’s installation or usage. The instructions below may help you deal with the

problems.

1. Cannot log in to the Web-based Utility of the router after you enter the IP

address in the address field?

Step 1:

Check if the router is working correctly, after the device is powered on for a few

seconds, the SYS indicator on the front panel should light up. If it is not, please contact us.

Step 2:

Check that the network cables are connected correctly and the corresponding

LED indicator lights up. Sometimes, the indicator lights up, but it does not mean it is

functioning.

Step 3:

Run “Ping” command and check if it can ping the Router’s LAN IP address

192.168.8.1 (open “Command Prompt” and type “Ping 192.168.8.1” and then enter). If it

is OK, please make sure your browser does not access the Internet by proxy server. If

the ping fails, you can press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore to default

settings. And then repeat the ping operation. If it still does not work, please contact us.

2. I forgot the login password and cannot enter the Web-based Utility.

Press the “RESET” button for 7 seconds to restore the Router to default settings.

3. The device is telling me that the password I am entering is incorrect.

Make sure you are entering the password exactly how it is entered in the router. The

password is case-sensitive. You can check to see how yours is set by logging into the

router’s web-based utility. Open an Internet Browser such as Internet Explorer or Firefox

and enter the following IP address into the address bar:

Log in using the default Username: admin and Password: admin. Then click Wireless

Settings > Security Settings to see your password.

4. Windows is not asking me to enter the password but it just won’t connect to my

network.

Please see Appendix 4 below on how to clear your wireless configuration file.

When trying to connect to your wireless network if you get an error message that

says “The Security Settings Do Not Match the Requirements of the Network” or

“Security Key Mismatch”, then you will need to clear the saved settings in your
