at the center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Adjust the antennas of WNRT-620. Try to adjust them to a position that can best cover your
wireless network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
3. Connect RJ-45 cable to WNRT-620 LAN port. Connect one of the LAN ports on WNRT-620 to
your LAN switch/hub or a computer with a RJ-45 cable.
4. Connect RJ-45 cable to WNRT-620 WAN port. Connect xDSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on
WNRT-620. Usually, this cable would be provided with your modem. If no cable was supplied with
your modem, please use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable
5. Plug in power adapter and connect to power source. After power on, WNRT-620 will start to
operate.

Preamble Type
Preamble type defines the length of CRC block in the frames during the wireless
communication. “Short Preamble” is suitable for high traffic wireless network.
“Long Preamble” can provide more reliable communication.
If you enable “Broadcast ESSID”, every wireless station located within the
coverage of this access point can discover this WNRT-620 easily. If you are
building a public wireless network, enabling this feature is recommended. In
private network, disabling “Broadcast ESSID” can provide better security.
It is recommended to enable the protection mechanism. This mechanism can
decrease the rate of data collision between 802.11b and 802.11g wireless
stations. When the protection mode is enabled, the throughput of the AP will be a
little lower due to many of frame traffic should be transmitted.

client and this wireless router, and the WPS will do the rest for you.
This wireless router supports two types of WPS: Push-Button Configuration (PBC), and PIN code. If you
want to use PBC, you have to push a specific button on the wireless client to start WPS mode, and switch
this wireless router to WPS mode too. You can push RET/WPS button of this wireless router, or click
‘Start PBC’ button in the web configuration interface to do this; if you want to use PIN code, you have to
know the PIN code of wireless client and switch it to WPS mode, then provide the PIN code of the

5.6.3 Virtual Server
Use the Virtual Server function when you need to have different servers in your LAN to handle many
services and Internet applications (e.g. Email, FTP, Web server etc.) to the Internet. Computers use
numbers called port numbers to recognize a particular service/Internet application type. The Virtual
Server allows you to re-direct a particular service port number (from the WAN Port) to a particular LAN
private IP address as its service port number. (See Glossary for an explanation on Port number).

UPnP
UPnP is more than just a simple extension of the Plug and Play peripheral model. It is designed to
support zero-configuration, "invisible" networking, and automatic discovery for a breadth of device
categories from a wide range of vendors.
With UPnP, a device can dynamically join a network, obtain an IP address, convey its capabilities, and
learn about the presence and capabilities of other devices-all automatically; truly enabling zero
configuration networks. Devices can subsequently communicate with each other directly; thereby further
enabling peer to peer networking.

DMZ
If you have a local client PC that cannot run an Internet application (e.g. Games) properly from behind
the NAT firewall, you can open the client up to unrestricted two-way Internet access by defining a DMZ
Host. The DMZ function allows you to re-direct all packets from your WAN port IP address to a
particular IP address in your LAN. The difference between the virtual server and the DMZ function is
that the virtual server re-directs a particular service/Internet application (e.g. FTP, websites) to a
particular LAN client/server, whereas DMZ re-directs all packets (regardless of services) to one
particular LAN client/server.
Parameters
