Setup
If you can't connect
If the Wireless Router does not respond, check the following:
•
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connection is OK, and it is
powered ON. You can test the connection by using the "Ping" command:
•
•

Enter the command:
ping 192.168.1.254
If no response is received, either the connection is not working, or your
PC's IP address is not compatible with the Wireless Router's IP Address.
(See next item.)
•
If your PC is using a fixed IP Address, its IP Address must be within the range
192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 to be compatible with the Wireless Router's
default IP Address of 192.168.1.254. Also, the Network Mask must be set to
255.255.255.0. See Chapter 4 - PC Configuration for details on checking your
PC's TCP/IP settings.
•
•
Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network

•
If Enabled, the Wireless Router will allocate IP Addresses to PCs
(DHCP clients) on your LAN when they start up. The default (and
recommended) value is Enabled.
•
If you are already using a DHCP Server, this setting must be
Disabled, and the existing DHCP server must be re-configured to
treat the Wireless Router as the default Gateway. See the
following section for further details.
•

DHCP
What DHCP Does
A DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) Server allocates a valid IP address to a
DHCP Client (PC or device) upon request.
•
•
The client request is made when the client device starts up (boots).
The DHCP Server provides the Gateway and DNS addresses to the client, as well as
allocating an IP Address.
•
•
The Wireless Router can act as a DHCP server.
Windows 95/98/ME and other non-Server versions of Windows will act as a DHCP
client. This is the default Windows setting for the TCP/IP network protocol. However,
Windows uses the term Obtain an IP Address automatically instead of "DHCP Client".
•
You must NOT have two (2) or more DHCP Servers on the same LAN segment. (If your
LAN does not have other Routers, this means there must only be one (1) DHCP Server on
your LAN.)
Using the Wireless Router's DHCP Server
This is the default setting. The DHCP Server settings are on the LAN screen. On this screen,
you can:
•
•
Enable or Disable the Wireless Router's DHCP Server function.
Set the range of IP Addresses allocated to PCs by the DHCP Server function.
You can assign Fixed IP Addresses to some devices
while using DHCP, provided that the Fixed IP Addresses
are NOT within the range used by the DHCP Server.
Using another DHCP Server
You can only use one (1) DHCP Server per LAN segment. If you wish to use another DHCP
Server, rather than the Wireless Router's, the following procedure is required.
1. Disable the DHCP Server feature in the Wireless Router. This setting is on the LAN
screen.
2. Configure the DHCP Server to provide the Wireless Router's IP Address as the Default
Gateway.
To Configure your PCs to use DHCP
This is the default setting for TCP/IP under Windows 95/98/ME.
See Chapter 4 - Client Configuration for the procedure to check these settings.

PC Configuration
This Chapter details the PC Configuration required on the local ("Internal")
LAN.
Overview
For each PC, the following may need to be configured:
•
•
•
TCP/IP network settings
Internet Access configuration
Wireless configuration
Windows Clients
This section describes how to configure Windows clients for Internet access via the Wireless
Router.
The first step is to check the PC's TCP/IP settings.
The Wireless Router uses the TCP/IP network protocol for all functions, so it is essential that
the TCP/IP protocol be installed and configured on each PC.
TCP/IP Settings - Overview
If using the default Wireless Router settings, and the default Windows
TCP/IP settings, no changes need to be made.
•
•
By default, the Wireless Router will act as a DHCP Server, automatically providing a
suitable IP Address (and related information) to each PC when the PC boots.
For all non-Server versions of Windows, the default TCP/IP setting is to act as a DHCP
client.
If using a Fixed (specified) IP address, the following changes are
required:
•
•
The Gateway must be set to the IP address of the Wireless Router
The DNS should be set to the address provided by your ISP.
If your LAN has a Router, the LAN Administrator must re-
configure the Router itself. Refer to Chapter 8 -
Advanced Setup for details.

Dynamic DNS (Domain Name Server)
This free service is very useful when combined with the Virtual Server feature. It allows
Internet users to connect to your Virtual Servers using a URL, rather than an IP Address.
This also solves the problem of having a dynamic IP address. With a dynamic IP address, your
IP address may change whenever you connect, which makes it difficult to connect to you.
The Service works as follows:

Routing
Overview
•
•
•
If you don't have other Routers or Gateways on your LAN, you can ignore the "Routing"
page completely.
If the Wireless Router is only acting as a Gateway for the local LAN segment, ignore the
"Routing" page even if your LAN has other Routers.
If your LAN has a standard Router (e.g. Cisco) on your LAN, and the Wireless Router is
to act as a Gateway for all LAN segments, enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol) and
ignore the Static Routing table.
•
•
If your LAN has other Gateways and Routers, and you wish to control which LAN
segments use each Gateway, do NOT enable RIP (Routing Information Protocol).
Configure the Static Routing table instead. (You also need to configure the other Routers.)
If using Windows 2000 Data center Server as a software Router, enable RIP on the
Wireless Router, and ensure the following Windows 2000 settings are correct:
•
•
Open Routing and Remote Access
In the console tree, select Routing and Remote Access , [server name], IP Routing,
RIP
•
•
In the "Details" pane, right-click the interface you want to configure for RIP version
2, and then click "Properties".
On the "General" tab, set Outgoing packet protocol to "RIP version 2 broadcast", and
Incoming packet protocol to "RIP version 1 and 2".
Routing Screen
The routing table is accessed by the Routing link on the Administration menu.
Using this Screen
Generally, you will use either RIP (Routing Information Protocol) OR the Static Routing
Table, as explained above, although is it possible to use both methods simultaneously.
Static Routing Table
•
If RIP is not used, an entry in the routing table is required for each LAN segment on your
Network, other than the segment to which this device is attached.
•
The other Routers must also be configured. See Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
later in this chapter for further details and an example.

Configuring Other Routers on your LAN
It is essential that all IP packets for devices not on the local LAN be passed to the Wireless
Router, so that they can be forwarded to the external LAN, WAN, or Internet. To achieve this,
the local LAN must be configured to use the Wireless Router as the Default Route or Default
Gateway.
Local Router
The local router is the Router installed on the same LAN segment as the Wireless Router. This
router requires that the Default Route is the Wireless Router itself. Typically, routers have a
special entry for the Default Route. It should be configured as follows.
Normally 0.0.0.0, but check your router documentation.

Other Routers on the Local LAN
Other routers on the local LAN must use the Wireless Router's Local Router as the Default
Route. The entries will be the same as the Wireless Router's local router, with the exception of
the Gateway IP Address.
•
For a router with a direct connection to the Wireless Router's local Router, the Gateway IP
Address is the address of the Wireless Router's local router.
•
For routers which must forward packets to another router before reaching the Wireless
Router's local router, the Gateway IP Address is the address of the intermediate router.

Note:
•
A DoS attack does not attempt to steal data or damage your PCs,
but overloads your Internet connection so you can not use it - the
service is unavailable.
•
This device uses "Stateful Inspection" technology. This system can
detect situations where individual TCP/IP packets are valid, but
collectively they become a DoS attack.
This setting affects the number of "half-open" connections allowed.
Threshold
•
•
•
A "half-open" connection arises when a remote client contacts the
Server with a connection request, but then does not reply to the
Server's response.
While the optimum number of "half-open" connections allowed
(the "Threshold") depends on many factors, the most important
factor is the available bandwidth of your Internet connection.
Select the setting to match the bandwidth of your Internet
connection.

Appendix A
Troubleshooting
This Appendix covers the most likely problems and their solutions.
Overview
This chapter covers some common problems that may be encountered while using the Wireless
Router and some possible solutions to them. If you follow the suggested steps and the Wireless
Router still does not function properly, contact your dealer for further advice.
General Problems
Problem 1:
Can't connect to the Wireless Router to configure it.
Check the following:
Solution 1:
•
•
•
•
The Wireless Router is properly installed, LAN connections are OK,
and it is powered ON.
Ensure that your PC and the Wireless Router are on the same network
segment. (If you don't have a router, this must be the case.)
If your PC is set to "Obtain an IP Address automatically" (DHCP
client), restart it.
If your PC uses a Fixed (Static) IP address, ensure that it is using an IP
Address within the range 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.253 and thus
compatible with the Wireless Router's default IP Address of
192.168.1.254.
Also, the Network Mask should be set to 255.255.255.0 to match the
Wireless Router.
In Windows, you can check these settings by using Control Panel-
Network to check the Properties for the TCP/IP protocol.
Internet Access
Problem 1:
When I enter a URL or IP address I get a time out error.
A number of things could be causing this. Try the following troubleshooting
steps.
Solution 1:
•
Check if other PCs work. If they do, ensure that your PCs IP settings
are correct. If using a Fixed (Static) IP Address, check the Network
Mask, Default gateway and DNS as well as the IP Address.
•
If the PCs are configured correctly, but still not working, check the
Wireless Router. Ensure that it is connected and ON. Connect to it and
check its settings. (If you can't connect to it, check the LAN and power
connections.)
•
If the Wireless Router is configured correctly, check your Internet
connection (DSL/Cable modem etc) to see that it is working correctly.

Appendix A - Troubleshooting
Problem 2:
Some applications do not run properly when using the Wireless Router.
The Wireless Router processes the data passing through it, so it is not
transparent.
Solution 2:
Use the Special Applications feature to allow the use of Internet applications
which do not function correctly.
If this does solve the problem you can use the DMZ function. This should
work with almost every application, but:
•
•
It is a security risk, since the firewall is disabled.
Only one (1) PC can use this feature.
Wireless Access
Problem 1:
My PC can't locate the Wireless Access Point.
Check the following.
Solution 1:
•
Your PC is set to Infrastructure Mode. (Access Points are always in
Infrastructure Mode)
•
The SSID on your PC and the Wireless Access Point are the same.
Remember that the SSID is case-sensitive. So, for example
"Workgroup" does NOT match "workgroup".
•
Both your PC and the Wireless Router must have the same setting for
WEP. The default setting for the Wireless Router is disabled, so your
wireless station should also have WEP disabled.
•
•
If WEP is enabled on the Wireless Router, your PC must have WEP
enabled, and the key must match.
If the Wireless Router's Wireless screen is set to Allow LAN access to
selected Wireless Stations only, then each of your Wireless stations
must have been selected, or access will be blocked.
•
To see if radio interference is causing a problem, see if connection is
possible when close to the Wireless Router.
Remember that the connection range can be as little as 100 feet in poor
environments.
Problem 2:
Wireless connection speed is very slow.
The wireless system will connect at the highest possible speed, depending
on the distance and the environment. To obtain the highest possible
connection speed, you can experiment with the following:
Solution 2:
•
Wireless Router location.
Try adjusting the location and orientation of the Wireless Router.
•
Wireless Channel
If interference is the problem, changing to another channel may show a
marked improvement.
•
•
Radio Interference
Other devices may be causing interference. You can experiment by
switching other devices Off, and see if this helps. Any "noisy" devices
should be shielded or relocated.
RF Shielding
Your environment may tend to block transmission between the wireless
stations. This will mean high access speed is only possible when close

B
About Wireless LANs
This Appendix provides some background information about using Wireless
LANs (WLANs).
Modes
Wireless LANs can work in either of two (2) modes:
•
•
Ad-hoc
Infrastructure
Ad-hoc Mode
Ad-hoc mode does not require an Access Point or a wired (Ethernet) LAN. Wireless
Stations (e.g. notebook PCs with wireless cards) communicate directly with each other.
Infrastructure Mode
In Infrastructure Mode, one or more Access Points are used to connect Wireless Stations
(e.g. Notebook PCs with wireless cards) to a wired (Ethernet) LAN. The Wireless Stations
can then access all LAN resources.
Access Points can only function in "Infrastructure" mode,
and can communicate only with Wireless Stations which are
set to "Infrastructure" mode.
BSS/ESS
BSS
A group of Wireless Stations and a single Access Point, all using the same ID (SSID), form a
Basic Service Set (BSS).
Using the same SSID is essential. Devices with different SSIDs are unable to communicate
with each other.
ESS
A group of Wireless Stations, and multiple Access Points, all using the same ID (ESSID), form
an Extended Service Set (ESS).
Different Access Points within an ESS can use different Channels. In fact, to reduce
interference, it is recommended that adjacent Access Points SHOULD use different channels.
As Wireless Stations are physically moved through the area covered by an ESS, they will
automatically change to the Access Point which has the least interference or best performance.
This capability is called Roaming. (Access Points do not have or require Roaming
capabilities.)
85

Wireless Router User Guide
Channels
The Wireless Channel sets the radio frequency used for communication.
•
Access Points use a fixed Channel. You can select the Channel used. This allows you to
choose a Channel which provides the least interference and best performance. In the USA
and Canada, 11 channel are available. If using multiple Access Points, it is better if
adjacent Access Points use different Channels to reduce interference.
•
•
In "Infrastructure" mode, Wireless Stations normally scan all Channels, looking for an
Access Point. If more than one Access Point can be used, the one with the strongest signal
is used. (This can only happen within an ESS.)
If using "Ad-hoc" mode (no Access Point), all Wireless stations should be set to use the
same Channel. However, most Wireless stations will still scan all Channels to see if there
is an existing "Ad-hoc" group they can join.
WEP
WEP (Wired Equivalent Privacy) is a standard for encrypting data before it is transmitted.
This is desirable because it is impossible to prevent snoopers from receiving any data which is
transmitted by your Wireless Stations. But if the data is encrypted, then it is meaningless
unless the receiver can decrypt it.
If WEP is used, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point must have the same settings
for each of the following:
Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit
WEP
Key
For 64 Bit encryption, the Key value must match.
For 128 Bit encryption, the Key value must match
Open System or Shared Key.
WEP Authentication
Wireless LAN Configuration
To allow Wireless Stations to use the Access Point, the Wireless Stations and the Access Point
must use the same settings, as follows:
On client Wireless Stations, the mode must be set to "Infrastructure".
(The Access Point is always in "Infrastructure" mode.)
Mode
Wireless Stations should use the same SSID (ESSID) as the Access
Point they wish to connect to. Alternatively, the SSID can be set to "any"
or null (blank) to allow connection to any Access Point.
SSID (ESSID)
The Wireless Stations and the Access Point must use the same settings
for WEP (Off, 64 Bit, 128 Bit).
WEP
WEP Key: If WEP is enabled, the Key must be the same on the
Wireless Stations and the Access Point.
WEP Authentication: If WEP is enabled, all Wireless Stations must
use the same setting as the Access Point (either "Open System" or
"Shared Key").
