Configure your router’s settings
6.1
Quick settings
This section shows how to configure the settings that
most users need. For more complex configuration
see section 6.2 (Advance settings).
•
SSID: Click Wireless Settings->Basic
The SSID is a unique name for your wireless network.
It is must not exceed 32 characters. The default SSID
is: your_network. You can change this to a more
personal wireless name if you wish.
Note: After any modification, the Wi-Fi connection will
automatically disconnect. If you are connecting via
Wi-Fi, you will need to reconnect to the new SSID
once it appears in your PC’s Wi-Fi AP list.
•
Wi-Fi key: Click Wireless Settings>Security
Your router is configured by default with a
unique Wi-Fi key. Since this key is unique to
your router there is no need to change it. You
may however wish to change your key to
make it easier to remember or to improve
16
your security. If you wish to change the Wi-Fi
security type, you can also do so on this page.
Connection Type: Click Internet settings->WAN
settings
The router is set to access the internet via 3G
networks as default connection mode. The predefined
APN profile is selected according to your SIM card.
Should you require a different setting for some reason,
you are able to set up a customized connection .
•
Administrator Password: Click
Administrator->Management
Administrator Password is used for logging into WEB
management page (GUI). It is recommended that you
modify your login details for improved security. The
default username and password are both “admin”.
17
6.2
Advance settings
1. Internet Settings
(1) WAN settings
This router supports six WAN connection types: Static
(fixed IP), DHCP (Auto configure), PPPoE (ADSL),
L2TP, PPTP and 3G.
•
Static (fixed IP): When your network provider
applies a fixed IP address to you, you can
use this connection type. It is also useful
when connecting your router to the internet
using an ADSL modem that does not have a
DHCP server built in.
•
DHCP This is useful when connecting to the
internet via the WAN port, through a router
that includes a DHCP server.
18
•
PPPoE：This mode is useful if you are
connecting to the internet via the WAN port
using an ADSL router or modem that has
Bridged mode enabled.
•
L2TP: This mode is useful when you wish to
configure your network as a node on
a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
19
•
PPTP This mode is useful when you wish to
configure your network as a node on a Virtual
Private Network (VPN).
•
3G: This mode is used to connect the router
to the Internet using a 3G/WCDMA network.
This connection type requires you to insert a
SIM card.
20
Account: The default settings for 3G are retrieved
from your SIM. If you select this account, the APN,
Dial Number, User name, password and Auth need
not to be modified unless you specifically require
another setting. There settings are normally
APN: internet
Dial Number: *99#
Username /Password are left blank
Operation Mode: You can select Automatic or
Manual.
If you select Automatic, the router will access the
Internet automatically at anytime when you power it
on. It may take a few minutes for the connection to be
established. This can be confirmed by the LED on the
Manual Connect key becoming green and beginning
to flash.
If you select Manual, the internet connection can be
established by pressing the Manual Connect key.
(2) LAN settings (Local Area Network settings)
This page explains about the settings of the LAN
ports of your router.
IP address & Subnet mask: This is your router’s IP
address and the subnet mask for your LAN.
LAN 2: Your router can be configured to respond to
an alternative IP address using these settings.
MAC address: This is your router’s MAC address.
21
DHCP Type: If you select Disable, you will either
have to manually configure the IP addresses of
connected devices, or use another device to provide
DHCP services.
If you select Server, your router enables its built-in
DHCP Server. It will then assign IP address to clients
connecting to the router. The IP addresses are
allocated from the pool of available addresses
between “Start IP address” and “End IP address”. You
can also reserve certain static IP addresses for predefined clients using the Statically Assigned fields.
22
(3) DHCP clients list:
This table shows the clients which have been
assigned IP addresses by the router.
(4) Advanced Routing (Static Routing settings):
When the router is connected to more than one
network, a static route must be set up between them.
The static route is a predetermined path that network
information must use to reach a specific host or
network. The minimum settings are preconfigured, but
you can add routes as needed.
Note: Don't change any of these settings if you do not
know exactly what you are doing.
23
(5) QoS (Quality of Service):
This page is used to configure Quality of Service
(QoS) rules for your router.
(6) Link Backup:
Your router can be configured to provide
automatic internet connection backup. For
instance, if your primary connection to the internet
is via an ADSL router that is connected to your
routers WAN port, and for some reason ADSL
connectivity is lost, this router can be configured
to automatically transfer your Internet connection
to the 3G/WCDMA connection. Except for the
short delay that might be experienced in
connecting to the 3G/WCDMA network; the
transfer is quite transparent to users.
You will first need to configure the settings of both
of our chosen connection types (one at a time) in
the Internet settings-> WAN section. You will
then need to return to this page to configure the
failover conditions.
Operation mode: In this field you can
enable/disable the function, and also select if you
want a failed-over link to revert to the primary link
as soon as possible, or only once the secondary
link fails.
Link Priority Setting: You will need to select
your two preferred WAN connection options in the
drop-down fields. You will then need to assign
which is the primary and which is the secondary
link.
Link Priority Setting: These fields will allow you
to select the parameters of when the fail-over will
happen. Check Interval Time determines how
often the router will check to confirm that the
24
primary link is available. A smaller number of
minutes selected will increase the speed at which
the router selects the secondary link, but since
the check is an active one, it will also increase the
amount of Internet data that is used by this
process.
Check Count is the number of “pings” that are
performed each time the check is made. A
smaller setting will increases the sensitivity of the
fail-over, and may not necessarily be desirable
particularly when heavy traffic delays or causes
“pings” to not get through.
WAN Check Method Define the IP addresses
that are checked to determine if the link is up or
not. You will need to carefully select an IP
address that should always be available to
confirm the connection. You could ask your ISP to
provide one (which may not count against your
data cap if it is “on-network”) or you could use an
Internet based service such as the Google DNS
server 8.8.8.8 you will need to confirm that your
chosen IP responds to a “ping” before using it.
25
2. Wireless settings
(1) Basic
This page is used to configure the basic Wi-Fi settings.
26
Wi-Fi Enable/Disable: Enable or disable the Wi-Fi
access Point.
Network Mode: There are 5 modes to select from:
11b/g mixed mode, 11b only mode, 11g only mode,
11b/g/n mixed mode and 11n only mode (2.4G)
Note: Don't change the content of this list if you don’t
understand what effect your changes will have.
Network Name (SSID): This field sets the SSID, or
the name by which your WI-Fi AP will be known.
Broadcast Network Name (SSID):
Enable: Allows the SSID to be broadcast so that
users can detect and attempt to connect to it.
Disable: This will prevent the SSID from being
broadcast. Users will not be able to see it, but will
still be able to connect if they know the correct
SSID.
Frequency (Channel): Select the appropriate
channel for your network from the list. You can select
either a channel number from the list or the auto
option. The default channel is channel 6.
Note:
If you do not understand the implications, please do
not change the contents, particularly of the HT
Physical Mode section.
27
(2) Advanced Wireless Settings
This page is used to configure the advanced settings
for WiFi. These settings are best left at the default
values unless you fully understand the implications of
any changes.
(3) Security Settings

option is not recommended.)
•
OPENWEP: This security mode uses a key to
secure your connection.
Default Key: You can select Key1~Key4.
WEP Keys You can enter up to 4 different
keys. The key that is used as default will be
dependent on your selection under Default
Key.
Keys format:
a. Hex: enter a key of 10 or 26 characters.
b. ASCII: enter a key of 5 or 13 characters.
28
•
WPA-PSK, WPA2-PSK and
WPAPSKWPA2PSK: These three security
modes use a pre-shared key to secure and
encrypt your connection.
•
WPA-PSK uses the WPA method and is
used for older Wi-Fi devices.
•
WPA2-PSK uses the WPA2 method and is
used for newer devices supporting this mode.
•
WPAPSKWPA2PSK needs to be used when
you are connecting with various devices
some of which support WPA2 and some of
which only support WPA. This will allow the
access point to retain backwards
compatibility while not sacrificing security for
never devices.
WPA Algorithms: You can select TKIP,
AES or TKIPAES. For modes
Pass Phrase: input at least 8 characters.
Key Renewal Interval: Set key renewal time,
from 0 sec. ~3600 sec.
