Chapter 1 Introduction
The PLANET WRT-415 is an 802.11g wireless router that supports high-speed wireless networking
for home or SOHO users. The WRT-415 provides data rate up to 54 Mbps when used with other 802.11g
products. The 802.11g standard is backwards compatible with 802.11b products. There is no need
to change existing network to maintain connectivity. You may sacrifice some of 802.11g＇s
performance when using 802.11b and 802.11g devices in the same WLAN, but you still can keep the
ability to communicate when deploying the 802.11g standard into your 802.11b network.
The WRT-415 supports the most advanced security features available today: WPA. WPA (Wi-Fi
ProtectedAccess)authorizesandidentifiesusersbasedonasecretkeythatchangesautomatically
at a regular interval. WPA uses TKIP or AES to change the temporal key periodically. This insures
much greater security than the standard WEP security. (By contrast, the older WEP encryption
required the keys to be changed manually.)
For home users that will not incorporate a RADIUS server in their network, the security for the
WRT-415 will still be much stronger than ever before. Utilizing the PSK (Pre Shared Key) mode
of WPA, the WRT-415 will obtain a new security key every time it connects to the 802.11g network.
You only need to enter your encryption information once in the configuration menu. Then you will
automatically receive a new key every time you connect, thus highly increasing the safety of your
communications.

1.5 Wireless Performance
The following information will help you utilizing the wireless performance, and operating coverage of
WRT-415.
1. Site selection
To avoid interferences, please locate WRT-415 and wireless clients away from transformers,
microwave ovens, heavy-duty motors, refrigerators, fluorescent lights, and other industrial
equipments. Keep the number of walls, or ceilings between AP and clients as few as possible;
otherwise the signal strength may be seriously reduced. Place WRT-415 in open space or add
additional Access Point as needed to improve the coverage.
2. Environmental factors
The wireless network is easily affected by many environmental factors. Every environment is
unique with different obstacles, construction materials, weather, etc. It is hard to determine the
exact operating range of WRT-415 in a specific location without testing.
3. Antenna adjustment
The bundled antenna of WRT-415 is adjustable. Firstly install the antenna pointing straight up, then
smoothly adjust it if the radio signal strength is poor. But the signal reception is definitely weak in
some certain areas, such as location right down the antenna.
Moreover, the original antenna of WRT-415 can be replaced with other external antennas to extend
the coverage. Please check the specification of the antenna you want to use, and make sure it can
be used on WRT-415.
4. WLAN type
If WRT-415 is installed in an 802.11b and 802.11g mixed WLAN, its performance will reduced
significantly. Because every 802.11g OFDM packet needs to be preceded by an RTS-CTS or CTS
packet exchange that can be recognized by legacy 802.11b devices. This additional overhead
lowers the speed. If there are no 802.11b devices connected, or if connections to all 802.11b
devices are denied so that WRT-415 can operate in 11g-only mode, then its data rate should
actually 54Mbps.

Chapter 2 Hardware Installation
Before you proceed with the installation, it is necessary that you have enough information about the
WRT-415.
2.1 Hardware Connection
1. Locate an optimum location for the WRT-415. The best place for your WRT-415 is usually at the
center of your wireless network, with line of sight to all of your mobile stations.
2. Connect the power adapter to the receptor at the rear panel of the WRT-415, and plug the other
end of the power adapter to a wall outlet or power strip. The Power LED will light up to indicate
proper operation.
3. Power off the ADSL / Cable modem first. Connect ADSL/Cable Modem to the WAN port on
WRT-415. Use the cable supplied with your modem. If no cable was supplied with your modem,
please use a RJ-45 Ethernet cable. After the Ethernet cable is securely connected, power on the
ADSL / Cable modem. The WAN LED will light up to indicate proper connection.
4. Use an Ethernet cable to connect one of the LAN ports on the WRT-415 and the computer you are
using to configure the router. The corresponding LAN LED will light up to indicate proper
connection. The LAN ports on the WRT-415 are Auto-MDI/MDIX; thus, you can use a straight or
crossover Ethernet cable freely.
5. Adjust the antennas of WRT-415. Try to adjust them to a position that can best cover your wireless
network. The antenna’s position will enhance the receiving sensitivity.
Note: ONLY use the power adapter supplied with the WRT-415. Otherwise, the product may be
damaged.
Note: If you want to reset WRT-415 to default settings, press and hold the Reset button over 5
seconds. And then wait for 10 seconds for WRT-415 restart.
